When I first saw this show, I thought I was tripping on acid


It was 4:00 a.m. and I had adult swim on after watching family guy and American Dad. I dozed off and woke up to FLCL. It was so weird and so hard to follow, I thought I was on an acid trip. I found myself rubbing my eyes and asking myself every two minutes, "What the *beep* The only two animes I had ever watched was Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho, and enjoyed them a lot, and I also enjoyed watching FLCL. But d**n is this show weird.

Yea, its definitely one of those shows that you should smoke weed while watching.






Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

Having just done this, I can say it makes for a very confusing experience...

I know OP will likely never see this, but I had a similar experience, but was also in a hotel room on a grueling travel job, so was very likely very sleep-deprived. Having had only seen maybe Akira and a handful of other anime at the time, it was truly like looking through a porthole to another dimension. Have watched a bunch of anime since, but haven't loved anything like FLCL, which remains a favorite audio-visual experience to this day.
