Anime Flcl Views

General Goods

FLCL has garnered mostly positive reception among reviewers; Adult Swim occasionally refers to FLCL as The greatest show we have ever aired. Christopher McDonald of Anime News Network called it downright hilarious and visually superb with great music, citing the packaging of 2 episodes per DVD as the only weakness of Synch-Point's original release.[15]

Fooly Cooly, or Furi Kuri, or FLCL, or … Io’m sure there are even more spellings out there … has all of the essential elements needed to make really awesome anime really awesome. So, what are the essential elements in really awesome – or really awesomely bad – anime? Well, that changes from person to person. But if you asked me the following checklist represents most of the big ones:

Excel Saga and FLCL are similar in that they are both extremely random and fast-paced anime with a plot structure that is all over the place more often than not. Zany and wacky to the extreme, these are series that poke fun at virtually everything - with a special focus on pop culture and anime in particular. Both are parodies that mock themselves as well as several genres, FLCL mostly concerned with mecha and ES covering a gamut of genres from horror to romantic comedy. In both there is an endless quantity of references to other anime and manga, and the level of hyper insanity that makes FLCL a stunning visual fest is preserved in ES ' energetic craziness.

Both series have female main characters that are sporatic and crazy and both series lack any kind of steady real plot (although there is maybe a bit more to it for FLCL). One of the main differences in Excel Saga is the references and jokes about other anime series. If yous're new to anime like I was whenever I watched FLCL, it might be a little hard to get at first.
