And all I can say is...

WTF??!!!????!!!!!

At least Conscrew makes a little more sense.

(conscrew.keenspace.com Good comic, especially if you're into anime. I now have two more series on my list of "Must See At Least Once")

YES. FLCL is delightfully f'ed up. Pikey officially recomends that you stick with it.

I don't know if my poor brain can handle it.

I'd rather be watching Lupin III.

Aiiii! Say it ain't so!

Near as I figure, Lupin is pretty much a Japanese version of Scooby Doo. At any rate, the rote formula they use for each episode kinda reminds me of the formula used for the other... I mean, if nothing else you'd think the cop'd learn after the first dozen or so tries that handcuffing Lupin once you've caught him is pretty much futile.

I can see how the first episode of FLCL would put you off tho... all this profoundly wierd shit going on with little/no explanation. But it *does* have all the classic elements of anime - one hapless schmo with multiple women fighting over him and vying for his attention, powers he can't control or understand, an alien, giant robots... and it has a GUITAR! How cool is that? Granted, the incomprehensibility factor throws things off, but you start to catch up some in subsequent eps.

*giggles*

True, but Lupin is also supposed to have gratitous sex! Scooby Doo never had that.

Besides, I want a better look at Lupin's costume. And Fujiko's. And the guns. Mmmmmm. Guns.

Sorry, no sex in Lupin. Tho Fujiko is some pretty decent fan service.

And guns do appear in later FLCL. Have faith, grasshoppa.

Not in the American version, probably.

You know how badly they edit that stuff. Sailor Moon got butchered, or so I've heard. (has only seen about three episodes, in no particular order)

I need a direct link to the Japanese feeds.

Hunh. Distinctly possible, I'll concede that point.
