What FLCL means to me.

[theactiveside]

I first saw FLCL maybe 9 years ago and was wonder-struck at the uniqueness of it all. I found myself crying without knowing why, I certainly didn't understand the plot but somehow the scenes unfolding before me struck an untapped reservoir of emotion. While my friends praised the humor and argued about which animes were referenced, the internet explained it's all a story about growing up. To me FLCL is a longing, a promise of the unfathomable lying just underneath hopeless mundanity. My tears are a meld of joy and sorrow that combine to form intensity, the intensity is like a fire which consumes thoughts and ideas leaving behind only vague assurances of "something", something that won't fit in the mind. In some ways I feel I'm like Mamimi in that I have the tendency to see the miraculous in the ordinary, it's difficult for me to describe how FLCL makes me feel but if Mamimi was here I think she'd understand.
I still watch FLCL and it still makes me cry, to me it is the greatest work of art I've ever encountered.

i understand what you mean on so many levels, the first time i saw FLCL was about 10 or 11 years ago on adult swim and i was either 7 or 8 years old and seeing it at that age the true meaning to the show flew straight over my head, but strangely enough what had captured me the most wasn't only the eccentric craziness of the show but the strong connection noata showed with Mamimi in the first scenes of the 1st episode, i comprehended that even at that young age, i never got through the whole series though(I was most likely too young to even remember when the show came on, coupled with the fact that i always seemed to catch re-runs) & though i never finished it the show was profoundly etched into my brain. it wasn't until two weeks ago when i saw it on netflix & decided to see the entire series.It was then that i fell in love, i was so sad it was only 6 ep but that made it even more precious. i was jus amazed as to how FLCL has so many deeper meanings packed into it & how it taps into my obsessive nostalgia, making me wish i could just go back in time to when i was his age just to feel those feelings again, you just fall in love with the characters they are so deep and complex.. FLCL really connects with me & is definitely the best show i've ever seen

when i first saw FLCL, i was dazzled and amazed by the constant innuendos and hyperactive style of it. (besides the point) what it meant was to cherish your childhood as long as you can, because if you grow up too fast, you will miss those great memories you had

Weren't you just telling him to leave?

However, yes, I do agree.

Sometimes they need time to learn, and I can accept that.
