Fooly Cooly

Blue Gender wan not as good as I would've liked

FLCL, on the other hand was an interesting piece of comic anime. I'm going to have to keep tuned into this one. I loved the part where they stop the show and the actors complain about how much the slow motion pics sucked to do Great Stuff!

Originally posted by Grunger Kittie Wow! Glad to see so many people enjoyed that show! Everyone I showed it to, HATED it. But there were lots of Cosplayers roamin' round AX this past year of Haruka.

I know!My family was like,"Ok.Let me get this straight.She hit him in the head with a guitar and now she's trying to kill a robot that came out of it?I don't get it."To which I responded,"Exactly.Isn't this great?Too many things make sense nowadays." And I know CB and FLCL are hardly comparable,but I'm just saying it hasn't replaced it as my favorite anime.

I don't think it matters whether they're comparable or not, you like what you like. And simply put, if you like FLCL better than something that was formerly number one or two on your favorites list...well, then that's all that matters We like what we like. Its part of individuality and doesn't require an excuse

I'm done now...

Amen,brother.I said I didn't like FLCL as much as CB,and people are all "what!howcanyoucomparethosetwo?!youaresuchanidiot!ihateyou!".Damn,guys. It's called individuality.Perhaps you should look into it.

FLCL was freaking insane (and that's a good thing.) I loved the manga scene when Naoto's father kept rambling on about kuri kuri (breast grabbing) and calling him a pervert and Mamimi a slut.

Oh yeah, somebody was nice enough to type up the linear notes from the DVD (A big thanks goes to Hunter Sopko from GameFAQS.)

quote:

Linear Notes (Episode 1): "Legs spread, shoulder width apart..."- Mamimi's opening line here is a reference to "Ashita no Joe", a popular Japanese manga from the 60s about a boxer. She's explaining boxing technique, but is really talking about baseball. It's supposed to establish her as sort of a ditz. "Wasp-woman"- Vespa is not only the make of Haruko's scooter, it also means wasp or hornet. When Naota's friends say Vespa-Woman, Naota thinks Wasp. Gundam Hammer- During the manga sequence, the Gundam Hammer is referenced. It's a chain with a rocket powered ball at the end of it. Yoshiyuki Tomino, creator of Gundam, always insisted that the show wasn't just another giant robot anime, but a realistic show about war and humanity. Critics pointed out when the Gundam Hammer was introduced that it wasn't very realistic. Tomino responded that Gundam was just a giant robot anime after all. So when Naota tells his version of the story about Mamimi, Kamon remarks that it's the Gundam Hammer; that Naota is saying it's one thing but he's just hiding the truth.

And here's a link to the transcribed director commentary from the DVD for the first episode. (a big thanks to Ferquin from the Toonzone message board.)

MAN FOOLY COOLY IS SO STUPID AND WEIRD AS BAD AS KIKAIDER

congratulations! that's got to be one of the most intelligent posts ever!! NOT...
oh HELL NO...it's one of those immature little kids from the adult swim boards who type in all caps and never even attempt to explain themselves...
kid, the least you could've done was explain WHY you don't like it...you could've at least supported your statement.. as it is now, it's a dumb and pointless post which means nothing to anyone...
...some people are just really afraid of change and trying new things i guess..

GRING BACK BIG O, GRING BACK BIG O!

Ok, spelling..its your friend...forming a coherent argument (note, I never said it had to be sane or correct), and generally not screaming all the time...learn those things.

uts retarde, kikaiser and folly cooly, gotta go!

Thats nice, but if your gonna diss it, do it on another thread, thats made for it, anyone catch tonights episode, that was ILL!!!

yeah...this thread is exclusive to those who actually like the series. so it's really quite simple...if you don't like the series then you don't have to post here...it just makes sense that way..
i don't understand it...if you hate it then why are you posting in a thread for people that actually DO like it?

Im sorry, I cant understand what the HELL YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY.

UTS? Isnt that a potato chip company?

Indeed it was. "Angel of black flames". Ownage.

tonighs was indeed an awsome episode

FURI KURI ROCKS!!!

the first is the best though

I've decided to stick up this thread because it seems that this show has been getting high praise among many of you. I myself saw the first episode last night and thought it kicked major ass. It has extremely clean and beautiful artwork, great alternative rock music, inane characters, and above all else, a twisted and hilarious storyline. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to see today's episode (the second one), so maybe some of you can post what it was about (or at least try to, heh) in here. If activity drops considerably in this thread because the Fooly Cooly craze dies down, which I doubt, then I will unstick this thread. The same thing applies for any other circumstance that would make this thread drop. Oh yeah, one last thing of note: Big O is still the best, in my opinion, as it will always be my favorite.
