the music video. Also live at the Whisky a Go Go! can be viewed subtitled or dubbed supervised by the original creators and acclaimed as among the Gold Standard of anime dubs
FLCL (Fooly Cooly/furikuri) is hands down the best anime ever, 'The Wonder Years' on acid or 'Lolita' as might have been written by Salmon Rushdie, with childhood innocence shattered by confident and guilelessly inept parenting, loose women, high strangeness, fighting robots, and all with uncommon literary depth peppered with nigh Jittlovian data streams of dazzling SFX, lightening action and rapid fire off beat nerd humor. Life changing! |
