What the gently caress is flcl?

God, I'm so tired. What the hell did I post last night?
I don't think most people who've WATCHED it could answer that question. FLCL or Fooly Cooly is a really goddamn weird and very short anime cartoon, based off a possibly even weirder comic book. There's only like six episodes in it. The music is exceptionally good and the animation is also very very good, but it's... really goddamn weird. Not like BAD weird where it makes you feel uncomfortable, it's just strange. There's a fuckin' South Park style parody at one point. The tone shifts all over the place. The art style shifts just as often, usually because the tone shifts. It shifts wildly between being extremely Japanese and just about everything else.

I don't know if I'd recommend it because realistically nobody who doesn't already watch anime likes to be recommended to watch anime, and it's definitely not a good introduction to the whole concept because it's goddamn weird. But it's definitely a landmark in the genre and I did enjoy it when I watched it.

It's a coming of age story about a kid with a kinda poo poo family and a way to active imagination, or if you want to take everything at face value is a coming of age story about a kid whos first crush is on a space pirate that needs his brain for "reasons".

The soundtrack is rad as gently caress and worked into the show really really well.


*edit: well I am poo poo at this and can't figure out how to embed the link the OST playlist instead of just the first video in that list, so sorry.

hello i bring you extremely cursed anime knowledge

https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/bg3wvy/overworked_madhouse_pas_interview_has_clues_for/

quote:

This person in particular was working for 393 hours a month with 200 house of those hours being overtime. MadHouse has a contract stating that it would only pay 50 Hours of OT. For context his salary is ¥190000 which is equivalent to 1700$ a month. One day when he was on the way to his home, he collapsed due to overworking. He has rested now and has joined an Union to demand compensation from MadHouse.
