@Roji I wish I could tell you. I recall watching it when it first aired on Toonami and I've seen pretty much every run of it. Maybe I'm burnt out on it? Like how I got burnt out on Cowboy Bebop? Who knows? But I just don't see it as a big deal. It's not bad though.

@ slim: Progressive will air on June 2, so seven weeks.

Seriously this like the anime version of No More Heroes (or I guess No More Heroes is the video game version of this).

I think the thing about FLCL is that no one in the US had seen anything like it before when it first dropped here. These days, every other anime from any given season is some weird gag show and is simulcast here like the day after it airs in Japan, so, you know...

Heh No More Heroes would be a fun show. tongue

@ Physical: Yeah, I'd definitely say that accounts for (a lot of) it.

Oh goodness, the manga panel scene. [lol]

Honestly even with all the imitators out there, I think only Flip Flappers and Pop Team Epic have ever matched it in terms of directorial style and zaniness respectively.

It's odd, but I miss Black Clover in this time slot. BC is perfect Snark Bait, this is just...a random collection of stuff that happens.

Yeah this show is still weird as fuck alright.

Also that cat is voiced by Anno, the guy who made Evengelion.

@ Rojixus: I think it's been said before, but that's the point. This is an incredibly bizzare, surreal, and post-modern show that leaves you with far more questions than answers.

I recall that this show is supposed to be about puberty & growing up.

Which is naturally a weird experience for everyone.
