Does it bother anybody else that FLCL (the original) is seen as this huge meme and never good? Cause it bothers me a lot.

No because it was a huge meme.
Isn’t it a tech demo like Akira?
>and never good
I only just watched it recently and I'd say it was pretty good.
It's a 2deep4u surrealistic softcore quasi-porn. I.E. a meme.
So the swing your bat moment was about dicks?
It's all about dicks.
I assume swing your bat was just about life in general. Better to swing and miss than to not swing and still get a strike.
Everyone says the old FLCL is kino and the new one is shit. Literally nobody claims otherwise and if they do they're just a falseflagging liar misanthrope anyway.
it's sort of about dicks, FLCL is a weird punk rocky metaphor about kids going through puberty and first being infatuated with someone sexually
so the bat was a metaphor for getting an erection and learning to accept it and be proud of yourself rather than shaming yourself into never doing anything
FLCL was fucking great
FLCL has the fame it does because it was great and people loved it. I think the small amount of infamy it has now is as a result of it always being recommended and regarded so highly for so long.
Either way, it doesn't matter. Like what you like. Validation is for suckers.
FLCL feels like it was made specifically to annoy me. Everything about it, from the artstyle, voice actors, characters, the referential nature, the humor, the plot, the randomness, the "irony", and then the sudden putting its head up its ass towards the end just rubbed me the wrong way.
Haruko might be the most annoying character I've come across in an anime, her voice rubs me the wrong way and everything she does makes me wince.
Outside of the vocal tracks which were admittedly great, the soundtrack is actually ear-grating too.
Watching this garbage, and growing up surrounded by people who worshiped it, and browsing forums where people constantly praised it as the bee's knees made me want to repeatedly hit my fucking head against a wall. It felt like I was missing some point, even though I also perfectly understood what FLCL was meant to be about.
I love Gainax otherwise, FLCL just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
>caring about other people's opinions in regards to entertainment
>being phased by other's media preference
Bro if you continue living like that, you'll end up a blindfolded normie pleb. I can imagine zoomers not getting FLCL, but many of them don't like stuff like Cowboy Bebop or Golden Boy either. It's just a new generation which grew up with toxic internet culture. PRO-TIP: Don't spend your time & energy being bothered by general society.
well said; the time to care what broader society thought was before you got into anime, not after
>Outside of the vocal tracks which were admittedly great, the soundtrack is actually ear-grating too.
The entire fucking soundtrack was "vocal tracks" you bloody eejit. Name one track that wasn't.
I don't care what you think about any other aspect of the show, I'd most likely partially agree with just about any criticism you have. But if you seriously consider any of the songs in the show to be bad you're genuinely a shit taste fucking idiot.

You are probably one of those outlandish spergs who hates falafel & humus too, just to be contrarian against mainstream...
It's an ok show saved by the animation
I dont understand why a 6 episode series costs as much on dvd/bluray as a 50 episode series
>youtube.com
This is not an instrumental track. You mentioned "non vocal tracks" in FLCL. Go ahead and link one you dumb ignorant faggot.
I'm not even going to address the rest of the post after that link since it's straight up gibberish and I have legit no idea what it is you're trying to say. Learn how to talk like a human being.
Disregard that, I completely misunderstood the post. Don't blame me blame the booze.
Stop drinking man. It's really not good for you, same as eating animal products and smoking. These things are regarded as normal, but they disfigure you mentally.
No, because I don't give a fuck what other people think about a japanese series of flashing images
escapism isn't good for you either yet look where you are. I'm aware of what I'm doing and I'm dealing with it my way OK bro?
if someone ever loves you the way you need to be loved then they would want you to make decisions that are healthy for you

go back
Well until that day I'm free to do whatever
>normie
Because a grown man with responsibilities has the leisure time and resources to download and hoard every anime series in existence.
Murdering others for your pleasure is fun.
HURR REDDIT MEME HURR
Triggered McDonald's kids.
I don't know what to tell ya. To me, FLCL is the only thing that compares, to, say, the Charlie Brown specials in terms of, uh, how soulful the whole thing is. I actually like the sequels, but FLCL, to me, is like the polar opposite of filler bullshit in anything.
>adult using the word normie
try again

I don't consume any onions apart from seasoning. I use a varied protein source mix to get a full spectrum. I'm 6'3 and do weight lifting for all 11 years I've been vegan + amateur boxing. People tend to estimate my age about 10 younger than I actually am.
Enjoy your murdered animal corpses brah.
>I don't consume any onions apart from seasoning
LOL the word filter actually holds true this time as well.

best comment I have seen in this fucking site in years
shit taste
Either samefag or contrarian zoomer.
user I think you might just be hanging around Yea Forums a bit too much. I've never encountered a circle of anime fans where the general consensus was "FLCL is bad". If it's full of casuals, they might not have heard of it, but most people I know who watched it all think it's awesome. The sequels have a bad reputation, but it's absolutely deserved in that case.
I have to wonder what goes through the head of niggers that post cuteshit and call other males soyboys.
>Boy, I bet this will make that person I'm quoting angry
That's all. That's seriously it.
Because it is a huge meme. It's LOLRANDUMXD; the OVA. Anyone with a brain cell can see it for the garbage that it is.
>I think you might just be hanging around Yea Forums a bit too much
>he values the opinions of people outside of Yea Forums on anime
It's actually something I ask myself often, you don't have to care.
I for one appreciate pleb filters. When you see comments like this: You know you can immediately write them off as a human being with any modicum of taste or artistic interpretation.
The greentext wasn't supposed to be me quoting you, that was my honest answer to your question. 90% of the time, there really isn't much of anything going through their head except "This'll really fry his noodles".
No, not at all.
In fact, it would make me feel even happier if it was hated rather than lauded, or at least forgotten to an extent.
Yes, I am a contrarian hipster.
But I kept telling people for ages upon ages that we shouldn't be talking about it cause they would make a shitty sequel, and lo and behold look at what happened.
I also loathe people who over-analyze things and anybody who watched FLCL ends up over-analyzing it.
Not to play devil's advocate against my favorite series in the world, but there are a lot of tracks that had vocals removed for the series. Advice being the only one I can recall at the moment. Also Mitsumune did a ton of tracks for the soundtrack, it's not just pillows music.
And with that said, I know they're as important to the series as anything else, but the pillows are one of the worst Japanese bands still in circulation, they are absolute sell-outs who have been pushing out the same disgusting unfanged mid-tempo pop-rock drivel for 20 years. They make Foo Fighters look edgy, they're literally Japanese Green Day.
It's my personal 10/10 that i've seen over 30 times and my favorite anime of all time. At this point i've come to terms with the fact that some people just can't get it, and that's OK. It bothers me when someone thinks that the show is incoherent and meaningless, but I've just learned to let it go, because the people who believe that don't want to be wrong.
>unironically believe this
>seen as never good
Are you kidding? This is the only anime on the internet that people unanimously love. The special kind of retards that shittalk this series are few and far apart.
I dunno, I need to hear the opinions of the original FLCL from everyone here below the age of 20.
I wonder how much of the original success in 2003 came from it being in an era of pre-irony and before hipsters were a thing. Also the last generation that predated social media
There are plenty of contrarians and actual brainlets who hate on FLCL.
