Hell Yeah! It's a great series.

That'll help make sense of the series.

One of the best animes out there. Regardless of whether or not you understand it, you'll enjoy it. :D

I got pretty obsessed with FLCL after seeing it while on drugs. I got both of the mangas to try to comprehend what was going on, but got even further confused.

I watched it many times trying to figure out what it's about, but the BEST way to understand it is to watch the directors commentary. There are a lot of Japanese culture references in it which some like me wouldn't get.

The music fits the anime well, and the animation is pretty badass.

The dub is full of western references that you probably WILL get. And it's actually a great dub. Makes it a lot less confusing too.

Ok just finished it, and holy shit was that, odd, lame and badass at the same time.

I am going to have to watch this a couple of more time to fully understand it.

Question thought, why did the robots start to come out of his head in the first place? And was he always that Really strong Atomisc (or whatever), or did that some how happen to him along the way.

Fuck i wish it was longer.

She was having a robot sent over to help her. I assume the big one was the one that was supposed to come out, but the medical machanica one messed it up. If you remember, she is often talking to the other side in the series. (it looks like she is talking to the cat)
also, after the robot came out, she was looking around saying "where did he go?" because she was expecting the other robot. which oddly enough came out later to kill them.

Hard to compare them in weirdness, but there are some differences betwen the manga and the anime. You should watch it.

i have only read a little bit, and unless i am mistaken, it is more clear that she is working with, and talking with others in the manga than in the anime.

Lol, never knew aliens had a preference to guitars and our culture :).

And for slow people (like me), was the pink headed alien for the Space Brotherhood or against it? ??

qfmft

and i was under the impression that haruko was like playing both sides, pretending to hunt down atomisk for the space police or whatever and at the same time trying to find him for herself.

either way flcl is one of the greatest pieces of meida to come out since the turn of the century and is absolutely the bees fucking knees.

Good plan. The thing I love about FLCL, every time I watch I not only get more out of it, but I enjoy it more.

CRYSTAL PEPSI!

Oh man, I just started watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It makes more sense than FLCL to be sure, but just from watching it it was really obvious Gainax was behind it.

It's pretty awesome.

You seem to have seen FLCL so I'll assume you meant TTGL. It's 27 episodes, so a full season/series.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengen_Toppa_Gurren_Lagann

Pretty good show. As is necessary with any good anime, there are giant robots and a scantily clad girl with an enormous gun. :)

ditto....actually it's both; the reference South Park in both versions.
