Yeah. I still can't make heads or tails of it. From what I can tell the guitar biker chick is an agent of some sort and the kid is the Chosen One who can make robots grow out of his head. And the chick with the earlobe fetish is just out of fuckin' left field.

Watched the last episode last night and can say only one thing. What the Fuck? Don't get me wrong, I do like it, but it was completely off the wall! It was sort of funny in an incredibly bizzare kind of way, but that was probably the whole point.

Since FLCL (as I understand it) has little to do with mecha, I am considering moving this to FAN...

You can have her, any woman who cleans out her ears with her big toe is beyond my libido.

Spanky 'tis probably a good idea to move this to FAN, though I though hat the Mech maniax forum was also the default Anime forum here.

It never asks you to figure it out. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Don't think about it too much, and maybe you'll get it when it's over.

She isn't that hot. She looks like Edward from Cowboy Bebop only 6 years old and on crack.

WTF is wrong this the Japanese! Ohh wait, this was their response to reality TV. At least this isn't stupid, just weird.

No, this kind of shotgun blast to the brain skullfuckery predated reality TV (see Eva and Lain).

Well Im glad you've taken the time to let people know how you feel about this sort of program. now fuck off and quit trying to antagonize people, when you go into a topic like this with an intent to make antagonizing comments about Anime then you are asking for a flame or two.

I didn't care for this series, to put it lightly.

I'm starting to like Gonzo's work anyway. Last decent thing I've seen from Gainax was Ebichu.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."
