Hanging out by the river, no one would suspect Mamimi is a girl with a dark past. She's been obsessed with a videogame. There's been a string of fires around town. If that's not enough, there's something growing inside Naota's head. With a robot and an alien at home, Naota tries to at least have a normal school life. The class is putting on a play, and Naota is playing a cat. He's sprouted cat ears from his head. Class president Ninamori's been chosen to play the lead.
Though he's carried around his brother's bat, Naota has never hit anything. Now his brother's gone, it's Naota's turn to prove his worth.
The baseball team doesn't seem to be doing so well. What is Haruko doing playing for the other team? Mabase is safe for now, but there's a new kind of danger.
Naota finds himself in the midst of a survival game, with Haruko on his team. With weapons blazing, it looks like Kitsurubami has joined the fray. Amarao is getting his hair dyed? Naota then proceeds to walk into his kitchen, discovering Haruko has appeared at his house.
Without any warning the show shifts into hyperdrive, transforming into a moving manga Japanese black-and-white comic , telling the next few scenes with crazed voice acting and rapid camera movement, mimicking a person reading such a publication.
There are moments when the show will shift to cliched Anime moments the "gun-fight" camera, with characters flying about and spraying bullets back to normal time simply because it WANTS to.
The show is driven by a madman, driving to make madmen of us all. You get the feeling of several layers of meaning coming from all angles, several topics being touched upon, the show proving that it is more than just a crazy attempt at randomness in entertainment. The last episode, while lacking any true "tying up of loose ends" at least brings all events of the past to a pseudo-close, bringing an understanding to the basest wackiness exhibited.
Usually, I find myself enjoying shows that are able to combine elements into powerful scenes - Cowboy Bebop is a good example of this, splicing wonderful jazz and rock with the action pacing of each section of the series.
Furi Kuri, however, throws this concept right out the window, apparently making the attempt at clashing anything and everything they can without wholly losing its sanity in the process. The music, performed by J-Pop J-Rock? This music almost seems out of place when taken in conjunction with the wild action and oddities that are viewed; large fights take place with simple guitar-riffs in the background, appearing as an attempt to downplay the action as nothing more than a childs' imagination.
One could probably get away with calling this show a visual representation of a childs' imagination, actually. It only has boundaries where it sees fit, it plays whatever music it wants to whenever it wants to, and it jumps from topic to topic as if it suffers from ADHD and has ingested a few bowls of sugar.
The people may stay the same for the most part , but everything else defies logic, reality, and reason. Despite its extremely varied existence, I enjoyed the series immensely, and suggest it to anyone who wants to experience It doesn't single out certain topics - like love, friendship, actions, self-depricating humor - instead opting to tackle them all and mush them together into minutes of super-phrenic television.
If you don't enjoy the absolute craziness of FLCL, then you should at least respect it for its ability to throw caution and most everything else to the wind and go with whatever it feels like doing. Hey, since when has 6 episodes of dementia been this fun? VegitaBOD Mar 27, Details Edit.
