  • 1:42 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOL

  • ........

    It's official. I'm never going to understand what goes through the heads of the Gainax employees. I mean, a flatiron?? Really???

  • its icarus from dota

  • man i love FLCL but two things which kinda disappoint me

    1. mami takes off and i was like...NOOOO!!!

    2. it sucks cuz there only 6 episodes i wish the made more :(

    in the end its still and epic show XD

  • @frosteez11 me too. the good old days

  • Haruko has the best personality of any female anime character in my opinion.

  • @frosteez11 ha i think your my youtube idol for the day, xD

  • @frosteez11 you were 9 when you watched this show??

  • Sooo... It's a sword fight with unbreakable guitars?

  • @Dagg215 YES :)

  • now thats a bass battle

  • I thought FLCL made perfect sense. They just don't hold you by the hand and lead you through it. It's also one of the first anime where the English dub sounded right, but I think they're getting better at it. DubshavecomealongwaysinceSpeed­Racer =D Hm... for an English version look up a video called "FLCL I think I can" by MadHater45... there might be others but that's the one I know about.

  • If there were a list of all of the Completely Awesome But Totally Bizarre scenes in anime, this one would definitely be in the top 10.

  • good vid, is there an english dub?

  • @Solitas777

    Yes there is and I personally think its one of the best english dubs out there, even better than the japanese original voice overs, it recently got re-released on DVD and I would recommend buying it to anybody out there, best 20 bucks I ever wasted

  • @Solitas777 Yes there is an English dub, and it's actually quite good. I don't normally do dubs, but FLCL is one that I can listen to and like as much as the original voice actors. The English voice actors really got into the characters, and had a good time with it.

  • @NelsonStJames I forgot to add,"Is there an english dub of this scene on youtube?"

  • wow after watching 3 times, it's perfect sync with the music

  • Panty and Stocking is a... hit or miss type of anime haha.

  • If you watch it backwards, you totally get it.

  • The final scene of one of the most wonderfull anime ever made. In just six episodes Gainax achieved more with this anime than most studios can with 25 episodes. True artistic genius is at work here and anyone who wants to write animation stories should watch this over and over to learn how to write a decent story.

  • @deaconkris That and Gurren Lagann seems like most of Gainax stuff is great

  • I haven't seen this in almost 11 years, the last time i saw it, it was on Cartoon Network, for toonami, good ol' days...

  • It might be seem random, but FLCL is all about, "coming of age" heh. ♥

  • the people who made this show are geniuses

  • Haha these are some awesome high rated comments... original, funny, and nothing to do with the number of dislikes! I'm impressed. We FLCL fans are a smart bunch :)

  • Atomsk is really fucking badass

  • I demand another season!

  • MADE HARUKO ON GET AMPED!!!! WHAT SON!!!

  • perfect ending for a perfect story, only if you are crazy and/or weird enough to understand it a 100%

  • i wish my life was like this... but nooooo

  • Eyebrows...

  • And then they fucked.

    The End.

  • The only reason this is confusing is because Westerners don't get all of the references to Japanese culture, literature, and TV. The Simpsons or South Park is confusing to the Japanese in the same way. They know it's funny and whacky, but it doesn't quite connect with Japanese audiences the way it does with us.

    Example: When Homer sings "Guess I forgot to put the fog lights in"(search it) it's hilarious to Americans because it's the Sugar Crisp jingle but a foreigner would be like "wtf?"

  • @TheAle89515 agreed I've even heard most Japanese can laugh at the fact theres cartoons that as you put it''Westerners'' made with some parts making fun of there race or culture,seems to me they know how to enjoy a show for what it is not the content or sterotyped view of them from so many cartoons,series and such making them seems all business such.

    Seems they are more prone to ok whatever from cheap shots at there culture

  • @Anten7 You need a explanation ?! Well simply this Theres been times like stupid stereotyped cheap shots at cultures,well I've come across comments on some cartoons where there was cheap shots and had those what ever you call it text like this for example text wise''死神'' anyway I came across comments with that type of text were theres cheap shots[ stereotype jokes] towards Japanese and when I've sent the comments with that text throw a translator it was of them laughing and enjoying the cartoon

  • @Anten7 But they also didn't get they also know it was funny and whacky, but didn't quite get the references/connect that a USA audience would get,so yay they was also kinda like''I don't quite get this part or that part'' when it came to references of another culture so yay anyway do you get me know

  • "you want to come with me? No it'd never work out. Your still just a kid after all." T_T

    why T_T whyyyyyy!? T_T greastest show

  • @UndyingF8 Mmm weird, in the english dub she said "I lost him again because of you Takkun. We couldn´t pull it off.... You Wanna come along?... You know what? Forget it. Cause you´re still a kid, Takkun. Save it for next time". I actually think that´s more accurate I mean, it´s pretty obvious she had it for him. But guess he still has a lot to learn of life in his home. But if you wanna know, in the manga is made more obvious, there´s only one smoooch in the finale but is completly consensual ;)

  • Naota x Haruka FTW, am I right?

  • So nostalgic!

  • Some of the best and awesome things in this world are the most confusing, with good music and art for an extra KICK!

  • The background music is just orgasmic.

    I don't think I've ever watched an anime with more depth than FLCL.

  • They shouldnad made more ep :(

  • I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can........

  • freakin love the fukin shit outta this song

  • lol kick ass nice music they have in the background too.

  • Freakin' awesome >_>

  • i spent 15 minutes trying to find the name of this anime lol MY CHILDHOOD <333

  • Robots bursting out of peoples' head, hot alien chicks and troublesome pyromaniac older women aside, this is a story about growing up. 

  • @CarcassGrinder93 The double neck guitar Naota uses is a Gibson EB-0 1961 model (atomsk's guitar) and Flying V guitar (Naota's guitar). The Left-Handed Rickenbacker (Haruko's guitar) is what he picks up at the end.

  • goosebumps anyone?

  • "Ska" is a short way of saying "I'm in love with you"

  • @Altier Isn't it "Suki" and means "I like you"?

  • @DTPoe suki is a casual way of saying love, its not 'like', as people in japan rarely to never say "ashiteru" to confess love

  • Fully Freaky!!, i love it!

  • where did you get those shitty subs? terrible translation. get a dvidrip son

  • man this show shoud have lasted longer

  • Haruko is so fucking hot. I sadly live my life knowing that no girl could look or have the same personality as Haruko, well, I haven't found one yet. :(

  • to those of you saying this is terrible and random, have you even watched the series? of course it's not going to make sense if you're just going to jump right in at the end

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, the True Guitar Hero!

  • This weird ass show is the only anime cartoon i like,by the way, is this show still on the air in america?

  • @Archedgar I'm guessing like any other work of art, you can take certain aspects of FLCL objectively? Or do think there's one meaning?

  • youtube.com/watch?v=tP7-QE35n8­w

    Check my AMV out! :D

    P.S, this show is the shit..

  • 1:28-1:50 destroys me everytime.

  • can someone awnser me question where does that portle in nato's head lead to o-o

  • i love rewatching this, since I start to understand then (along with some help from wikipedia ^^;)

  • @oocotter Yep You are the only one! This Anime was AMAZING! Not only did I love the Anime It made me a PILLOWS Fan! I'm gonna post back to back to explain what FLCL's Story means because it may take a post or 2

  • @oocotter no. there are a few other retards as well. =D

  • @trigun92 I tried to like it.. but it just didnt make any sense >_<

  • @oocotter if you dont like it then GTFO

  • @UltimateInfinty No. It was horrible.

  • @oocotter then dont watch it

  • @oocotter no, you're just slow, lol

  • @oocotter it tried to hard to be random and it didnt make sense? that would kinda be the point of randomness

  • @oocotter It makes no sense at face value because it was almost 100% symbolism.

    It was meant to be an enjoyable representation of a "Coming of Age" story. It succeeded IMO. Maybe it was too cryptic for -some- people ... like you /cough

  • @oocotter Randomly AWESOME

  • @oocotter it wasn't supposed too. the plot wasn't supposed to be about anything specific, but the audience's interpetation. For instance, to me this was a story about personal growth, about love, and loss. thats all. even with all that weird (but awesome) they threw in there. so don't try to focus on how u think it should have went, but what u feel from it.

  • @TheNewKenpachi Exactly, just look at how they define the words Fooly Cooly throughout the show.

  • @oocotter You have to analyze it on a deeper level. There are times where it's random just to be random, but a lot of it is symbolism. If you're attentive enough to catch it, then it's a much better anime.

    It gets more enjoyable every time I watch it, I keep catching things that I didn't see the first few times. The first time I watched FLCL I was about 8 years old, so it made no sense to me. Now I'm 17, and having taken an AP Psychology class, I can see what I couldn't before.

  • @oocotter Actually, it's the deepest anime ever. There's a ridiculous amount of symbolism... I actually did a report on it... It was four pages long and I didn't even cover a sixteenth of all the depth FLCL has to offer... look it up.

  • @Rezindez I hope you were joking. FLCL must be your first anime ever. It is actually not as deep as you think. All of Gainax animations have some kid as the main character and the theme is usually a coming of age theme (Shinji, Simon, Takun...) PSG doesn't count.

  • @HarryTheTurtle No, I've seen a hundred anime and I'm serious. FLCL actually has a lot of hidden depth, of which I am not overstating. I did a lot of research on my paper, and it proves you wrong. For example, Amarao's eyebrows symbolize false maturity, Atomsk symbolizes adulthood, and Naota's fusion with Atomsk represents adolescence. I am not over analyzing this. FLCL was made with the symbolism in mind. Fans didn't make it up. Research a little on your own before you deny my claims again.

  • @Rezindez It's a fucking coming of age story you dumb shit. You wrote a paper on this? Good job hiding the fact that you watch shitty chinese cartoons. It isn't fucking deep. I know what all this shit symbolizes but that doesn't make it deep you ass. I bet you thought EVA was deep too. All you did was write a paper filled with bullshit. HURR DURR HOLY SHIT ATOMSK REPRESENTS ADULTHOOD!? FUCK ME IN THE ASS THATS DEEP! I cant believe you wrote a paper for this. Dumbshit. Die.

  • @HarryTheTurtle Symbolism does make things deep, especially when all of it is leaning toward a common message. It doesn't matter how relevant that message is. And if FLCL and Evangelion aren't deep, by your definition, then what IS? Lord of the Flies is deep, Animal Farm is deep, and if you deny that symbolism can make something deep, then you are denying those two famous novels their depth.

  • @Rezindez I apologize. I should have realized that I was talking to a 14 year old who thinks symbolism makes things complex and deep. Btw Haruka's bike represents her burning desire to have a big throbbing penis. Cati shitting out penis-head boy represents his desire to be pregnant and shoot out a shit covered fetus from his anus.. I'm so fucking deep. Put that in your paper deepfag.

  • @HarryTheTurtle FLCL is an allegory about the pleasures of sex with a partner versus the pleasures of masturbation, showcasing exactly how alienating sex is to an adolescent mind. It's brilliant in that it is a coming of age story not only literally, but symbolically. And I don't mean that anything with symbolism is deep. I meant that any piece with symbolism that can be seen to make some sort of completed meaning or statement behind the scenes could be considered deep.

  • @Rezindez Don't bother with this guy. If you go to his profile and look at the comments, you can see people talking about how he talks shit years back. He really is just a troll.

  • @Mightyenano Nice to know that the person I trampled on was just another idiot.

    SLAIN TROLLS: 4

    I had no idea he was a simple troll, but now that I know he was, I can add his body to the pile. Thank you for your invaluable information.

  • @Rezindez You should just stop using the word "deep," especially if you're going to continue to pursue writing academic papers.

  • @lovetheb0mb I agree. I wracked my brain, but no synonyms came to mind. And I was writing for a school assignment, not for a paid occupation. Hopefully, I'll become a better writer by the time I go to college.

  • @oocotter you gotta admit though that the animation is the best out there but personally this is in my oppinon not the best anime (wheres my BLR english dub FUN geez) but it got good animation and tries tooo be diffrent and creative at the same time and there is nothing out there like this but if someone went ou there shcearch high and lo for a long time they might find somthing I dont hate FLCL but Its not my fav anime

  • @oocotter yea ur just stupid and didnt get it

  • @oocotter you are also random

    your an random troll

    see youre not so different

  • flcl best anime ever

  • @island380 It's a 2001 anime, you fool.

  • @island380 Troll is obvious

  • After seeing it again one thing is for sure: FLCL should be displayed in the Museum of Modern Art! Forever!

  • Crowning moment of awesome coupled with crowning music of awesome!

  • Once you seen the show you know what fooly cooly is

  • @PieMasterX13 no ive seen the full show multiple times and i still have no freakin clue wat the hell is going on ok the floating robot poses way to many questions the girl with the pink hair is whole different case and the dumbass with the flase eyebrows creeps me out but WTF just happened

  • @inuyasha9454 the pirate king all of those things that came out of the kids forehead is part of getting the pirate king out

  • @PieMasterX13 but why taku is he special or something

  • @inuyasha9454 why did you see the anime xD his brain is the only one that works thats what the crazy girl said oh ya and that robot with the tv for a head came out of taku too and from the robot the pirate king is with him and the robot is also part of those things that come out of takus forehead

  • @PieMasterX13 im not gonna lie it doesent make sense but the anime itself made no sense but i kinda the pitate kings like a prize to the crazy chick right

  • @inuyasha9454 Ya thats what she was after the pirate kings power taku took that power and fought a little and then released the pirate king and he flew away in space

  • @PieMasterX13 ok i get it now but who the hell was she talking to that one night when taku walked in his room

  • @inuyasha9454 Idk her mom? lol i have to watch it again to see lol

  • best ending!

  • man i wish we could have guitar warz here this is epic

  • why doesn't my vespa fly?and why doesn't paul macca's rickenbacker have a motor innit?

  • Ummm wasn't this show like 6 episodes long or somtin

  • Based on a true story.

  • @TheGNUfan wait wats the story

  • @cammyNpammy

    You should watch the episdoes, theres only six of them and I think you can find it on youtube.

  • I think the last time I found something so confusing yet enjoyable at the same time was when I first discovered how to masturbate.

  • @sports2252 LMFAO! wowww... (X

  • they should have kept the series going

  • We must call a summons at the U.N. to produce more of this awe inspiring anime, in our search for a solution for world peace.

  • those eyebrows

  • One word, eyebrows.

  • Watch this with the sound off, and play "Swallowed" by Bush at the same time. The lengths are almost identical, and the events sync up perfectly with the song.

  • This has to be the BEST anime in the history of FOREVER. You can say Hellsing, Gunslinger Girls, Claymore, Naruto, Ranma(love them all), But THIS, this is epic to a whole new level.

  • @Alex12341995

    >.> dragon ball z >.>

  • Nevermind, its in january.

  • This anime is the essence of epic.

  • man y did dey have 2 stop makin FLCL episodes i love dis show :D theres like always a boss battle at da end of every episode

  • One time a friend said "don't try to understand me, just accept me." I feel like that is what most people, including me, have to do with FLCL. Love it though.

  • @animegeek88 Like most of what Gainex make it's down to interpretation. It makes sense if you want it to.

  • Comment removed

  • What kind of guitar is that at the end?the Two handled one.

  • lol fooly cooly will be the best show ever, even if it was short .

  • Gota love this show. The Pillows rock!

  • This is gay - even for anime

  • @JapanAlex01 Dear Alex, Please die in a hole :)

  • Whats the name of those songs?

  • what are some other good anime, that are like FLCL?

  • @ReformedThe Well, the second season of FLCL (created by Killink Studios) is gonna be airing on youtube this summer (or later depending on production speed). Trailer one is up and trailer two will be airing sometime soon. FLCL: Home Run.

  • @trinityfan92 FLCL is actually made by a studio in japan called gainax.

  • @medaphsyco Yeah, I know that. I'm talking about the second season that's coming out this summer by Killink Studios.

  • @trinityfan92 wait second season!?!? are you sure there is a second season and are you sure if there is one its going to be made by another studio... if this is true this is going to be awsome!!! I can't wait!!!

  • @medaphsyco I am sure. If I wasn't I wouldn't be going around advertising it in posts. :)

  • lol i remember when this was first created by two collage guys that went to the same collage i went to before they sold the rights of this little cartoon to japan which is the reason why it only has 6 eps and it was random perved to the max and people loved it

  • BEHOLD......THE TRUE GUITAR HERO!!!

  • is the manga as confusing as the anime?

  • EPIC!!!

    this show is like every anime should be like: lot's of action(not those boring neverending fillers), some dumb parts and the drama.
