Will's anime reviews ;D:
Call me crazy but I'm growing to like Fooley Cooley. And yes, FLCL is the abriviation of Fooley Cooley.

If you had to sum up fooley cooley you couldn't, because it dosn't have a main point. There is no theme, no main focus, no nothing... stuff just happens. Random stuff. And that's why I like it.

There are four primary characters:
The main character is a boy who uncontrolably sprouts giant, evil robots out of his forehead. His brother's girlfriend is crazy, and since this 'brother' has left for america, she is now turning her attention to the main character. In fact, she's so crazy, it turns out she is an alien... or something... . Then there's a girl who rides around on a yellow moped running people over. After running both the main character and his dad over, she decided to live with them. She also has a gas powered gitar, which she uses to fight the robots that come out of the main character's head. And the final main character is a Robot that came out of the kids head, he now lives with them. He can also eat the kid, and doing so makes him more powerful. Then he can, literaly, crap the kid back out.


Freaky, freaky, freaky. Oh, did I mention they live in a town that has a giant, mountin-sized clothes iron in the middle of it?

As for blue gender, it isn't much for storyline. Cliched, "Aliens invade earth, kill most the humans, humans escape to space and start to fight back". But, what it lacks in storyline, it makes up in action. Big robots killing bug-aliens in cool fight sequences. What more could you really want? The remaining humans travel in mobile combat armors. The robots are pretty cool looking. The aliens are also pretty cool looking. Unfortunatly, the main character is not too well drawn, in my oppinion. But, in the end, it all comes down to cool robots beating the crap out of giant bugs.

I like the girl on the moped. She's nuts! ;D The boy's dad is a bit of a jerk, I think, but he kinda reminds me of Kaji from Eva. Is the boy's brother's girlfriend the one that thought the robot was a god?

[edit]Here's a summary thing on FLCL.

The plot follows a boy named Naota, his friends, his family, and a few others. He seems like an ordinary kid, at least until the day he gets smacked in the face with a gas-powered guitar by a mysterious stranger who calls herself Haruko. Things start to get weird after that. For one thing, a little horn grows out of the bruise. Pretty soon, Naota is fighting bizarre robots with the help of his robot, Canti

The girl on the moped is indeed nuts. In the picture, she's the one in the bottom right. And yes, the crazy girlfriend thought that the robot was an evil God of destruction, because he was wearing black wings like a crow, and a Halo.

And how could you say the dad is a jerk?

[palla]

Not really jerky jerk, just selfish not-listening-to-the-kid jerk. Isn't Canti Naota's?

[BugHunter]

Its part of the comedy.

But what am i hearing?! Will, you of all people i thought would be the farthest from liking that show. I woulda thought that you would like Blue Gender more.

try modding all of it. my fingers hurt from all the typing .

fooly cooly is just strange, but it can be really funny. just how exaggerated everything can be. it makes me laugh ;D. but Lupin and Trigun make me laugh more

Fooley Cooley is something you need to watch several hundred times before you begin ot understand it...and even then, you probably won't.

I wonder when the boxset is gonna come out. ;D

[BugHunter]

Thats exactly what I'm thinking


Actually, Trigun is starting to go into a more serious tone with everyone dying and Vash about to fight his brother.

And I spend several hours on this forum just to respond to all the threads so i can relate, Katt

[palla]

I haven't watched Trigun before Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, but from the episode I saw, it is a good series. I mean, it is a little confusing because I've missed a whole lot but still easier to understand than FLCL.

Oh, and fact: Fooley Cooley is actually/also is Furi Curi.

[BugHunter]

[Dr. Dan]

Yeah, especially when she was using the dad's chin for a massager thingy....should we let the wee ones watch this show?
