Did you throw around random acronyms in an attempt to satire the fact I didnt explain what FLCL is?

If that is the case, it is a very unique anime.

I had to watch it 20 times this month for my class. I'm glad for the break, until they do their character studies for it. It's very good, and six episodes worked perfectly for my class schedule. I strongly recommend the DVDs. They give you a lot of information about the Japanese pop culture in it that is lost to most American viewers. Plus, it has the director's commentaries!!!

This is hardly a kid's show. For one thing, anyone under the age of 13 wouldn't get it.

Haruko = best character ever!

Mamimi used to be my favorite character, but now I think that her cat, Takkun, is the best. I could watch that thing mess around all day.

Na, na na.

--"Has to be the greatest things I've ever seen on television"

I was somewhat surprised when I first found out it was going to be broadcast here. However, I understand there are a number of really big fans of the show at Cartoon Network, so I guess they pushed for it.

--"OMFG. Have you been playing DE? "

Sorry to dissapoint, but FLCL is the official title...

--"I prefer political cartoons to childrens cartoons"

Why can't they be both? You've seen the original Warner Brothers ones, right?

--"I'm glad for the break,"

I'm surprised you're still sane, after that many viewings ^_^

One word of warning, though. SynchPoint is discontinuing the booklets you mentioned (they're pretty expensive to print). If you want to make sure you get them, you'll have to move quick.

I discovered FLCL as fansubbed version on the computer.
Despite being used to Excel Saga, I simply had to make a pause after the 3 first episodes, otherwise my head would have been completely ruined.

Excellent anime. Definitely in the Top3 of my favorites series
