What A Cartoon! - FLCL (Fooly Cooly)
🕑 Added 2018-06-18 07:00:01 +0000 UTC After producing one of the most influential anime series ever—Neon Genesis Evangelion—animation studio GAINAX went from adapting a comic about high school relationships to something even more unexpected: a coming-of-age story about robots that come out of a young boy's head. Thanks to its sheer weirdness, amazing animation, surprising emotionality, and atypical (but awesome) music choices, FLCL emerged as a cult hit in the early '00s—one that just received an unexpected sequel some 18 years later. This week on What A Cartoon, real life rock and/or roller Alexi Belchere of The Y-Axes joins Bob and Henry to break down what makes these six odd little episodes so special.

I assumed the giant picture of anime would suffice

Can we get a "WARNING: ANIME" on the titles of episodes like these? :P

I have always laughed at guys nose bleeds in Anime which is an obvious turned on/ boner metaphor but when he gets the Flying V guitar pulled out of his head and than we see that all the military woman got nose bleeds from watching that it struck me that I never saw female nose bleeds before in Anime ever!
