I think it was only 6 episodes because that's as long as it had to be. It told its story and it was done.FLCL dident stick around and drag its self out, it did what it came her to do.
cowboy bebop, the original lupin vids (not that hayao miyazaki 1) fooly cooly, trigun neon genesis evangelion and (i feel im missing a couple) r the classics of anime that ppl need to wake up and respect! do not call the mcartoons and do not use english dubs! actually i just got a 5 on my AP english test using FLCL n 5 is the highest scor u can get on APs!
@haikme why not use dubs it makes it feel better for me to be able to pay more attention to the action without haveing to read everytime some one talks and some japanese voices are so annoying like there girls voices some times are just terrible
6 episodes was enough. It seems sad, but I feel some sense of completion when I watch it through, even if it wasn't some massive 300 issue epic. It was right for me. Just what it needed to be, and nothing more.
@mumpsternugget This anime is the reason I bought a Vespa. And with the DVD collection when it first came out it came with a sticker. You bet your ass i slapped in on there. Good 'ol Suncoast.
it sucked that it was only 6 ep but it was open ended the chick just left that dont mean she cant come back if thy make it like this thy can add more to it
This anime was a beast in fact that it was soooo good in japan they have the show running 6 days a week but bad news you get a hella lot of reruns hahaha the pillows wrote and sang and played the ending which is fucking awsome I got this in my iPod :D
You mean after only 6 episodes? Gainax usually has a budget for about 26 episodes per series, but they balance it so poorly so that the animation gets worse by the end of the run. So for FLCL they just came up with a story short enough that they could spend all their effort into animating just the 6 episodes. That's what I've heard.
@KefkaJr according to my sources it went somewhat like this:
After Evangelion there were a lot of animators and crew who had a short time between projects. Evangelion had a really heavy ending so most were just looking for something fun and short do to till the next "serious" project. And so FLCL was born. Awesome, made by some of the best, and no longer than it should be :)
@KefkaJr What? FLCL was 6 episodes by design. It's an OVA. OVA are almost always short series with high production values like this and are direct to video. This show never actually aired on Japanese television. Adult Swim was the first and I think only program to actually broadcast it.
@KefkaJr The only OVA I can think of that was a series in its own right was Legend of the Galactic Heroes, which is 110 episodes long. And if you're a fan of space opera, I HIGHLY recommend it.
@darkchrisify They only wanted to do 6 episodes as a sort of testing ground for animation (since they had the budget for a much longer series they could do all sorts of cool animation thing). While I wish there was more, at least it ended early as one of the best OVAs ever instead gradually getting stupid like a lot of Gainax does.
I love that ending theme. I have both of the manga, two shirts, and my own moped (though its nothing like Haruko's.... :( I think that I was destined to get a moped though thanks to that show.
I used to watch this during the best days of my life (when I was 13 years old) I practically lived at my friends house during the summer and we would just stay up every night drinking soda and watching adult swim without a care in the world. We would also talk about girls XD those were the days.
what about the one about the kids that would put on the fox (or kitsune mask) mask and go into that city filled with red lights and like play hide and seek or sumthing,by the way the city was filled with japanese demons of sum type that would either capture or kill the kids but im gonna google adult swims anime and see if its there tell me if it rings a bell ok
i was born in 96 and watched flcl for the first time when i was 5 and it and cowboy bebop where awesome anime...btw what was that other anime adult swim had???
this the definition of ecchi. perverted humor, panty shots etc. that's the genre fooly cooly is under. i think what you meant to say is "this is so close to being hentai" which thank goodness it isn't because hentai sucks real porn's dick.
it doesn't really matter where you're from, the definition of ecchi stays the same no matter where you are. im an american too. you can say that there are channels with content like this, but you can't classify an entire channel as ecchi. just a couple shows and there are still channels without this type of content.
any true anime fan that grow up in the 90 know this song , this song to alot of people simple mains anime and anyone that heirs it knows as soon as the song starts it's FLCL
this needs a loop

A few things I've learned from FLCL:
Bashing someone or something with a gutar ALWAYS fixes it.
Robots are born from the heads of children.
If I ever smoke write "Never Knows Best" on my cigarettes.
Stay away from Haruko's Vespa.
If I'm wrong this series will stop after 6 episodes.....
