FLCL I think I can

[72nortoncommando]

The greatest anime to last 6 episodes

[rgzdev]

Probably one of the best animated works ever.

And definitively a metaphor or two, not precisely about puberty but certainly about growing up and standing for yourself.

[kARaKuMbA]

FLCL - Охуенн"о ` !

[culbreeze100]

even though flcl is old its still 1 badass anime ^^

[Techn0taku]

I think I can like this video and fave it and......WTF ARE THERE DISLIKES ON THIS VIDEO its an Anime Haters soo FUCK OFF

I think I can kick those haters' Ass

[SigurTibbs]

I think I can.

[AproposOfMe]

If puberty were half this interesting growing up wouldn't have been nearly as miserable.

[Zenreload101]

Why does everyone associate FLCL with metaphors of puberty? Obviously gainax just needed something to burn off the emotional scars of NEONGENESISEVANGELION

[ktzeldafan]

34 people don't think they can.

[DeadbrainLives]

Nothing happens here. Its a boring town where nothing extraordinary happens... Thanks for posting, very nice compilation w/ song

[xWolfyChanx]

lol the thumbnail

[SpontaneousEmo]

I wish i could think i could

[GravDiga]

@SpontaneousEmo It's as simple as i think i cum, which is what i heard for the first half of this video.

[ktzeldafan]

Look close at 2:12 and u see south park animation

[Uberrrrrrr]

@ktzeldafan It looks like south park, but it's in one of the FLCL episodes.

[ktzeldafan]

@Uberrrrrrr I KNOW. I HAVE FLCL ON DVD

[RedPikaOshaAsh]

This song helps me forget about my diabetes

[booooom12345]

i hate life but when i listen to this song it makes me feel better about the world that not everything in life sucks

[thatblondetitan]

I dont know if anyone noticed this yet, but if you try to act like your life was in an amine, its much more exctiting, like not cosplaying, but making your life into its own anime, act like your in a anime. ITS UBER FUN. plus it makes things interesting.

[birdyblair]

@thatblondetitan Me and my friend do that its fun,we pretend we are decendents of Noata and Hakoru! ;D

[SonarWavePulse]

I think I cum

[batios34]

hellyah!! guitar shooter!... (do) BOOM!! (re) BOOM (fa) BOOM BOOM BANG!! xD!!!

[Orlandor100]

I've always wondered, what's up with the dude's eyebrows? The ones that look like they're made of sandpaper?

[ABD9292]

@Orlandor100 Amarao- "A special agent of the Bureau of Interstellar Immigration. He apparently has some past with Haruko and claims to know who or what she really is. Amarao's childhood also seems to mirror Naota's. Amarao wears fake eyebrows made of nori to keep Haruko from using his head as a portal." Straight from Wikipedia :)

[Orlandor100]

@ABD9292 I think it made more sense before you told me all that.

[ABD9292]

@Orlandor100 Figures :/ What doesn't make sense? Naota's head is being used as a portal and Amarao doesn't want the same to happen to him, so he wears fake eyebrows made of Nori (a type of edible seaweed) so Haruko can't use HIS head as a portal (I can't really say anything as a definite because I hardly ever see FLCL anymore and even then, it's the first two-three episodes).

[Orlandor100]

@ABD9292 Lol, calm down it was a joke; I get what your'e saying. In FLCL standards, it makes perfect sense.

[EmmyPenguin]

Puberty.

[constructivist6]

The story, the animation, the in-jokes and THE MUSIC! Who could ask for more in an anime?

[UnderTheFear]

2:10 - SOUTH PARK?!

[Brotassium00]

@UnderTheFear

Yeah lol. The show had a few American/Western hemisphere references, including the scene in the barber shop where it switches from regular animation to South Park animation and the mention of classic rock and alt rock bands.

[Rulictar]

@UnderTheFear They made fun of south park on that show.

[45puppetmaster]

Does the part with the bullets remind anyone else of the matrix???

[polkiujmnhytgbvf]

Quemichal Mechanichal made 34 account and vote no!

[Shur1k3n5h0ts]

i cant understand what they are saying but this song still rocks



[Scaredapplestudios]

1:27 I see a possible meme.

[AngelicHopeX]

This song is my favorite along with, "Hybrid Rainbow", And "Ride On A Shooting Star". o u o

[hektor6766]

@AngelicHopeX The more you listen, the harder it gets. I think I have about 30 favorites at last count...

[westview13]

Never Mind

[westview13]

SOMEONE HELP! What's the name of that song so I can download it PLEASE HELP

[AngelicHopeX]

@westview13 The song is called, "I think I can" By The Pillows. > u >

[JimmietheCynical]

I remember listening to this song like 2 or 3 years ago. Such a good band, such a good anime.

[AngelicHopeX]

Love it :3

[pandlaugh]

i wish....... i could bash the furi kuries (or is it just robots) coming out of my head with a guitar.

[7777777Goku]

33 people dont think they can and because of that they never will

[yasiel4]

the only reason i watched the video was cause of the funny looking thumbnail

[TheBrickKid13]

Do you guys remember what the song was called from episode 3 at the part where Canti and Haruko fought that one monster and used curry to use it?

[7777777Goku]

@TheBrickKid13 carnival

[TheBrickKid13]

@7777777Goku Thanks for the late reply but I have found it, it is called Little Busters

[minatothegreat1]

I think I can't...

[Invisibrah]

@minatothegreat1

BLASPHEMY

[thebanger224]

i miss this show

[7777777Goku]

bathroom over there ---->

[angeldance101]

Hello

[luisfable]

@angeldance101 hi there.lol

[Emogeta]

Who the heck wants to eat Fury Cury?? ^_^

[Emogeta]

What does Fooly Cooly mean anyway?

[soccerjonesy]

@Emogeta It means what it means, Fooly Cooly!

[mondoman2016]

@Emogeta It's actually a slang term used in Japan which means - "Stimulating Orgasm"

[DaedalusPyronide]

@mondoman2016 so clearly

many people would like to eat furi kurri

[mondoman2016]

@DaedalusPyronide Well, I don't know if eating an orgasm, in itself, is even possible, but I'm sure eating some hot chick's juicy pussy would probably suffice! lol *om nom nom* :P

[blackoutt87]

i heard that this is one big allegory for puberty. which i can kind of understand. its just such a confusing story, yet its fucking awesome.

[TheBebop51]

@blackoutt87 I reminded me of Mary Poppins.

[Veren10000]

2:14 is soooooo creepy and the best one of them all is at 2:16

[bobobo878]

i thought i could...

[naruhina479]

I don't think ........ I know

[darktooth347]

i think chuck norris can

[patf92]

Fuck your Guns, I have a guitar

[sk8ed1969]

dvs shoes??

[battelman28]

Wat album is this from?

[DJPeppr]

IT'S THE CLIMAX!!

[Kias85]

They would probably massacre it now but I wish they would have extended the series back then

[JAMmartineau]

why can't my life be like FLCL.................

[revenge507]

@JAMmartineau cause then the world would explode

[thelordofthejokes]

@JAMmartineau because life is not fair anf a life like FLCL would be too awesome. im whit you on this dude 

[demonyoyoer5]

if you see at 2:12, its a funny southpark drawing XD

[Kingdomhearts9119]

Fooly Cooly was my frist anime Iv ever seen ^^

[treismac]

@Kingdomhearts9119

I have mixed feelings about the idea of this being someone's first anime. It's a two-edged sword, you know? On one hand, it is probably one of the best animes ever so you were given a royal introduction into the genre, but now you really don't have anywhere to go but down after this. Just the same, this story is magic. :D

[shugokunisaki]

so many memories!! I THINK I CAN remember all of them. the ones that came in the era of when FLCL began its awsomeness >:3

[luvstogizxxxsmokewee]

The dinner scenes in manga form are the best lol.

[DonThaBeast]

To all the people who don't understand japanese and still think this song is awesome, thumb me up

[thyferra2680]

@DonThaBeast Don't know why you're having so much trouble understanding the song. I mean more than 50% of the words are "I THINK I CAN"

HEYOOOOOOOO

[luis2k0]

I THIK I CAN....FLCL is so awsome i'm in love with the 6 episodes there is i seen them all i have them oh yeah

[mitzemf]

best anime ever. period end of story. great music. idk y i loved it so much seeing as i didnt understand half of it. maybe thats what drew me in, idk good vid

[loyesj]

ive never loved something i didn't understand as much as i love japanese rock music and FLCL that confused me too but also i loved it.

[Haruverse]

Epic.

[rocketlow]

I love this song... i want more caps!!! T.T

[darkonk]

Lol the eyebrow guy i feel sorry for him cause his eyebrows were fake and Haruko said he had a small penis cause he could only pull a slingshot out of his head Lmao FLCL FOREVER!!!

[supermanXL]

awesome

[0Dreamis]

they did do south park bit with the eyebrows guy lol...but yes they r that awesome..

i mean u have to be awesome to make fun of southpark, sense NOTHING does for some odd reason.

[blackaneise]

one of the best songs ever :O

[MrJavelin12]

lol did anyone else see a random south park clip at 2:11 or is fclc just that awesome xD

[tenoyasha]

1:44

"......You can't be real."

[Xads308]

i wish i was as bad ass as naota in elementary school

[Haruverse]

@Xads308 In our own minds, we all were.

[NewPyroLabs]

@Xads308 I wish I was as badass as any of the people in FLCL.

[ZabuzaSOULESS]

@Xads308

-sigh- i was the quit lone wolf freak in elementary school. -sigh-

[imhinatas]

@Xads308 Thought he was in Junior High? Isn't he twelve?

[MrJake92]

@Xads308 You know, you probably were in a way, working through growing up and all. It's something that a lot of people take for granted.

[TheMitsuhideAkechi]

まゆげ。。。

[Bassie1H]

@TheMitsuhideAkechi ''eyebrows...''

[darthfetus123]

"what's with the eyebrows lover boy, a bushy attempt at masculine charm? Chicks dig the clean cut look, THATS WHAT YOU WERE THINKING?!?!?!"

hands down the best quote from the series! xD

[romanfirewolf]

perfect inspiring song ... now I THINK I CAN! finnish my damn science -.-

[cparty232]

@liquidshrapnel Ok....

[cookiemilly13]

this song is something you play when you are on a journey or road trip!!!

[raitei2000]

@cookiemilly13 mee too :)

[helloredpanda]

Agh, the audio quality is so bad! xp

[fwoshi]

@helloredpanda Welcome to YouTube.

[enotdetcelfer]

...Fooly?

...Cooly?

[cparty232]

@joriandrake

also, naota's name is not takkun or ta-kun, mamimi or what ever her name is was obsessed with naota's brother. She also names all of her pets takkun too.

[cparty232]

@supershaunodeseninja

Read the manga, naota-kun murdered his father with his baseball bat after finding out that he had sex with haruko

[joriandrake]

@cparty232 seriously? o.O

[zucini]

@cparty232  i saw that an i couldnt believe he killed him

[narutoad]

@cparty232 Holy shit really!?!?

Ah, also consider that the manga was created AFTER the anime. So it's sort of a split universe. Ugh... great, now i'm gonna have to finish reading the manga ASAP! DX

[Liquidshrapnel]

@cparty232 you speak liez ! he murdered the robot that looked like his dad that haruko had sex with you little fishman !!

[cparty232]

@Liquidshrapnel i am talking about the manga. read before you post.

[Liquidshrapnel]

@cparty232 no i refuse to read the manga ! you speak liez ! LIEZ I SAY! ALL LIEZZZZ!!!

[raitei2000]

@Liquidshrapnel manga came after the anime, dont worry

[Liquidshrapnel]

@raitei2000 your head smells like a gigglefishy :D

[raitei2000]

@Liquidshrapnel lol wut? o_o

[Liquidshrapnel]

@raitei2000 i have no idea what im talking about ! WOOOHOO I SMOKE CRACK! >:D>:D>:D

[Liquidshrapnel]

@MexHaruka AWW Thankyou ! you made me feel all warm and jiggly inside :D  im going to stalk you for the next week now >:)

[MexHaruka]

[ChewyCervantes]

"HE GOT THE POWERS OF THE PIRATE KING!!"

[peacocktheking]

wow i remember this show : )

[RockieOllie]

the whole time i thought it was saying

"I think, I count"

[Aspen70000000000]

How could this have 22 dislikes? did they miss the 'like' button? 

[BttrRedThenDead]

Best... Anime... EVER!!!!! XD

[finalfntsyma55]

i wish they would make more ): my favorite anime ever

[Jbr33zy360]

22 people dont think they can -_-

[samuelsnobodie]

@Jbr33zy360 Actually, they know they can't.

[whyohwhynousername]

@Jbr33zy360 I think they can, just give 'em time.

[wartravs22]

I'm so glad they never attempted a sequel to the short-lived FLCL series. To do so would pretty much be doomed to failure and cheapen the memory of the original.

[spalmerism]

@wartravs22 i just wished they continued the original! :'(

[IhalohazardI]

@spalmerism But it would have changed and It was perfect the way it is

[hektor6766]

I should've said cult worship of technology.

[Animebeaan]

1:09 - 1:46 is my favorite scene in the whole show. xD Good job.

[burningwhitewolf121]

6 best episodes evar!!!!!!!

[nightsleeper557]

For only 6 episodes this anime had almost everything. Cat ears, crazy father, pervert, know it all, love triangle, aliens, south park impression, guitars, guns, explosions, bloomers, MECHAS.... Should I go on.

[tnpan]

Can someone tell me why FLCL is awesome? I want to love it, but the only thing I can find worth praising is the art style, and the soundtrack. The love is rushed and shallow, not to mention pedophelia, since Haruko's "At least 20," and Naota hasn't hit puberty, and it's bleach-style "Here's an enemy, kill it" for at least 4 of the 6 episodes. Am I missing something? Please tell me if so, I WANT TO LOVE THIS SERIES, BUT I CANT IF YOU DON'T HELP.

[KingKomura]

@tnpan you must look past the obvious into the deeper meaning within the imagery, this show is basically one huge symbolic metaphorical congregation of some of the most basic human instincts and obstacles we all, despite our background have to deal with as we grow up and as life moves on, from relationships to loss to the general feeling of insignificance of mundane life, and it demonstrates through metaphor how to overcome them and move on...also there's like 100 sexual innuendos which are fun

[29mysticwarrior]

@tnpan ????? you're kidding right? FLCL did in six episodes what no other anime could do in over 300 eps. The plot is fucking amazing but most people are unable to understand it because so much is implied. That's the thing i love about it, nothing is spoonfed to you you have to figure it out for yourself and there's SO many interpretations of it. Read the light novels, a lot of it will become clearer to you.

[29mysticwarrior]

@tnpan Oh, and rewatch it, theres always something new to take from another viewing. It might take a few times but TRUST ME IT"S WORTH IT!

[ChairZomg]

whenever i need courage, i just recite "i think i can" in my head.

helps every time.

[masterfulmuffin]

This show was the perfect coming of age story, especially for the fucked up kid that I was (and yeah, still am).

[DSkehan2004]

1:10 this thing is crazy as shit, i've seen this episode before

[VampricEyes]

yep....this is not an ordinary anime since...its ranked 3..

and also it has "58 OST" in 6 episodes..

it almost beated the anime's which are longer

[stolieolie]

<3 flcl forever & ever

[kameb]

I think this anime has the best OST ever!

[Quick2Snipe100]

they could've went so much further with this anime

[sniperxr]

Rock lives on forever with these guys.

[melissaiscolored]

meow meow meow

[Konoton01]

How can anybody justify that pronounciation concidering the spelling?

[Aspen70000000000]

This video is great! I especially love the very ending! Good job! ^^

[60Rykai]

Youtube, the place for information.

[tacobellfatcat]

@60Rykai ha, so is google, and google owns youtube

[Raxer21]

But when Japan is proven not to be the only industry and proves that it fell in love with American culture as it grew some balls and was able to gain its industries back and finally accept the future. (ERI the purple haired girl), basically accepting the fact that tradition will always be around but that foreign influence is also a good thing. Haruko (America), suffering defeat decides that it'll go look for industrial power somewhere else and that at the end. their still a kid

[Raxer21]

@Raxer21 Compared to the other industrial powers in the world

[grrarmada]

@Raxer21

damn dude...that was some deep shit.

thank you. my whole world is now different.

its time to start a revolution.

no more need for these walls.

we should all love each other, help ourselves evolve.

not compete for the best power.

lets travel through galaxies together ^.^

[Assashimaru]

@grrarmada exactly ^^

[Raxer21]

The Final battle: Haruka (America) had gotten infuriated that POst atom bomb japan had finally grown some balls and had achieved the one thing that they were manipulating them for. Industrial power, The battle was a symbolism of a now fully functional post atom bomb japan with huge industries with much better technology than America going up against the American Industry. In the end all the help and influence that the American Culture brought to them, is what helped them get so far.

[29mysticwarrior]

@Raxer21 Naturally, as Atomsk escaped, Haruko had to follow him to continue her mission of pursuing him. Why else would she have asked Naota to come along after all was said and done, if she hadn't loved him back? She had no other manipulative use for him now with Atomsk being set free. In the end though, he needed to just be a kid for once, and after meeting Haruko, he was at last able to just be himself

[StricknSTW]

@29mysticwarrior

I don't think it is so much that Haruko had manipulative feelings towards Naota, I think it was that as an alien herself, Haruko was incapable of love. I think she was meant to portray a sort of ideal woman in terms of a sex-goddess and as a superhero, but I think she was also meant to be shown as an unreachable icon, a dream that may never have been real, but is unnatainable anyways, just like Naota's brother is a dream to Naota's "girlfriend"

[29mysticwarrior]

@StricknSTW I disagree. And it would seem Yoji Enokido himself does too. A direct quote from Haruko in the novelization: "What's the issue? Everyone needs love, until they die." And while there is some paralellism between Tasuku and Haruko, the difference is Tasuku kept Naota hiding in his shadow, while Haruko helped him find that he was his own person and didn't need validation from others to feel confident. And those "unreachable" dreams are reachable if you just "swing the bat" =)

[StricknSTW]

@29mysticwarrior That's a good point, I did not know about that novelization.

I have to agree with you now.

I love how deep FLCL is when you think about it.

[29mysticwarrior]

@StricknSTW I know! it's pretty awesome

[Raxer21]

The older generation are pretty much useless in this part, their only power is influencing post atomb bomb japan so that they may not be forgotten in the future. Many of them never really understood of the economic and real world issues that plagued any continent and many of them didnt grow up, case in point Naota's family. THE mayor

Canti/Atomsk represented what Haruka, (America) had be
