 What's FLCL? FLCL (also known as Fooly Cooly) is a six-episode OVA series directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, produced by Gainax and Production I.G., and a staple of a lot of 20-something's early anime experience. Depending on who you talk to it's either an eccentric coming-of-age story with a sci-fi lemon twist or an incomprehensible epicenter of energy. It's well-regarded, well-animated, and accompanied by a  OST performed by everybody's favorite band they only know from this show anyway, the Pillows.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4_Qzx-E2LQ So yeah, we're gonna be watching this. Together! Simulwatching! Whether you were watching it as it came out or you've never heard of it before this post, everyone's welcome to join in the fun. No, I mean, what is FLCL? What does it stand for? Oh. Nobody knows. Or do they? "Fooly Cooly?" You do it like this with your hands. Whatever. Weren't we supposed to be doing a horror simulwatch? You even still have that other thread stickied. We were and still are, but it's gonna take a week to get everything set up so this is a little something I came up with to tide us over. FLCL's only six episodes, so it shouldn't take too long for us to burn through it. I don't own FLCL. You're in luck then because Funimation put the whole thing up on Hulu, dubbed AND subbed. I don't live where Hulu works and/or don't like Hulu because reasons. Your call then, big guy. Just don't post about how you procured it in the thread. So what's the schedule? I'm glad you asked.
Episodes 1-2 October 21st through the 22nd Episodes 3-4 October 23rd through the 24th Episodes 5-6

Gonna watch this again. It's been too long, and it's a good show, and it's a good excuse.

I watched this a month and a bit ago and it was absolutely fantastic. I look forward to reading what everyone has to say about Fooly Cooly.

I haven't watched FLCL in a very long time so it's gonna be neat to come back to it from a very different perspective.

When I first saw this show, I accidentally watched the episodes in reverse order. Having seen it again in the correct order, I can say it's about as comprehensible either way.

I always thought "Fooly Cooly" was a reference to the opening line of Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mln0RciE2o0 Srice posted:I haven't watched FLCL in a very long time so it's gonna be neat to come back to it from a very different perspective.

If people have access to them, the director's commentaries are interesting

Probably gonna watch again, even though I've seen the first four episodes enough times that I don't need to ever watch them again. I think I probably still have the VHS fansubs of them I had around somewhere.

They're both good, but I'd say subbed. Dubbed on a rewatch.

FLCL is the best 2.5 hour long AMV set to the Pillows. Blues Drive Monster gives me chills when I listen to it.
