"You're the one who caused this!" "I don't care!" ^What every antagonist should say to the protagonist.

This show will always mean so much to me.

Naota at the end breaking the 4th wall, "Do you find this difficult to understand?"

I remember I saw this promo around the first time it aired and I was hooked that very same night when it premiered. Somehow, the American dub perfectly encapsulated the mood and tone of the show, which is super rare.

FLCL is like being thrown into a mosh pit by accident. You don't know what's going on and it goes by so quickly you don't even bother questioning it. But when you eventually leave the chaos and pure what-the-hell-is-going-on-moment, you'll look back on it with great memories. And probably be scarred for life. In short, FLCL is what would happen if you took a video of pure randomness that defined the internet put it in anime form and just go, Oh well and let it loose.

Watching this as a 9 year old boy back in 2003 is an experience that can never be relived again. So many questions I had watching this, some still haven't been answered lol. Still a fantastic anime after all this time.

I remember catching this promo back in 2003, I was 11 years old and this aired a little bit before I was supposed to go to bed. However, I was way too interested in whatever this was and luckily I had the entire upstairs to myself and my step-brother's room had a TV in it, (my step dat had joint custody so he wasn't there half the time), so I snuck into his room and stayed up late, watching TV at a super low volume and loved it. FLCL has become my favorite anime of all time and I think a part of that has to do with who I was at the time, so you could say that this promo changed my life.

I can’t express enough, how much I love this show

This was my childhood. I was around the same age as the Protagonist when this released. I actually learned about this series through a magazine called "Newtype" the art style was like no other at the time and it was very different. That magazine had postcards.

Th greatest show ever. PERIOD.

This one series help definie a genre of kids who all remember it well. So much nostalgia from this, and will always hold a special place in my heart.

This show premiered on AS on my birthday. :') Changed my life as a young teen.

Watching this as a little boy was amazing.

I remember watching this when I was 13-14 back in like 03'-04' late at night. It was like having a badass fever dream. That theme will forever be in my head. I couldn't tell you the plot to any of the episodes I watched but they were always crazy and cool. I get a weird nostalgia feeling when I see old episodes.

im 28. watching this and im sad. was 14 when i first watched flcl on adult swim. time is irrelevant. wish i would of made the best of my youth.

This trailer is still amazing.

For some reason, watching FLCL made me feel weirdly nostalgic. It's like how I feel when I imagined what I felt when I was really young and watching cartoons on my small CRT TV. Really confusing, but enjoyable nonetheless

God, this show more than any show I’ve seen just reflected that feeling of growing up so perfectly. I feel lucky to have seen it when I did, I’m not sure it would hit the same way for someone growing up now it was a different time and a different feeling.

Rewatching this after finally seeing it on Toonami. Sooooooooo damn good!

This was my favorite anime of all time when I watched it on Adult Swim 15+ years ago. Since then I’ve yet to see one capable of knocking it out of that spot.

Awesome animé and even better English dub. R.I.P Synch-Point (1998-2008)

just bought this magnificent first season(still feels odd saying that) on blu ray :'''))). Best anime series of all time.

The *music* man it really connects with the show creates the environment. It transports you to nigh everything of the memory for it; the nostalgia.

10 years old up late at night in 2003, not a single care in the world

Dig the music.

"School sucks" AyoI felt that line personally lol

Goddamm. 2003. I remember this exact ad on tv

Glad that Adult Swim picked this back up for Toonami.

As a 2 year old watching [as] id wake up to the cowboy bepop outro, then watch flcl. Then go to sleep after Big O.. Didnt realise they were real for another 10 YEARS! I though flcl was some fever dream i had as a child!

I saw this promo on a bootleg VHS one-time back in like 2006 when I was like 8 years old and always wondered what the hell was going on in this ad

One of the absolute creative & Greatest shows I’ve ever seen in my life 🔥🎸

Back when 2004 was my favorite Year.

2 new seasons!

This makes me excited to watch FLCL and I've been watching it since it first aired!

season 2 and 3 baby! coming late this year or early next year :D

I moved from America to England back in 2003. Came back one summer to visit my mother and thought I would put Toonami on for nostalgia sake. First episode played and I was hooked for the rest of the night and remember getting sad when I saw the 6th episode was called the FLCLimax. Been a fan ever since 👍🏼

I didn't watch much of Toonami Midnight run back then especially when they extended it on weeknights because of school and because of church (Friday night before Sabbath) so I never saw the original promo for FLCL. For most of the 00's I escaped the hype of the anime. It's only within the last decade where the internet has introduced me to Gainax and its animes, particularly this one. Even though I only watched it in the 2010s as a rerun on the new Toonami, I could tell it oozes with adolescent nostalgia, I was hooked and was then disappointed with FLCL Progressive

Nostalgia nights back in early 2000s. Kids nowadays got it good. ...but the experience we had back then can never compare.

I've been wanting to get into anime for a while and just googled some suggestions, found this one and gonna give it a shot as my first dive into anime

Holy shit, bringing me baaack!I remember staying up really late (sometimes all night) with a buddy and we'd watch the shit until it stopped airing and went to regular tame cartoons. Good times with good anime lol

I watched little anime around the time this was airing. I didn’t hate anime but I didn’t understand what I was watching unless it had action (DBZ, Inuyasha etc.) so when this aired and during the first episode, I didn’t understand anything or enjoy it very much…and yet I could not stop watching. I didn’t get that exciting vibe but yet it was still crazy enough to keep me tuned, and as the episodes progressed I couldn’t help but want more, then it was over. Even when it ended I still didn’t get the full excitement I usually got, but this did open my eyes to pursue other genre’s and step out of my comfort zone. It was weirdly enjoyable and watching bits here and there today, I cannot thank this show enough for existing. Always a great time to watch it for some wacky shenanigans.

I was there.For this promo then the premier. My life has been not the same ever since.

In highschool a friend gave me a copy of this on CD-R. It was so good. I can't believe it's almost been 25 years.

FLCL color palate was always so relaxing, and this show reminds me of teenagehood so bad. lol

I love this show so much, aaah.. ♥️

My sister and I would watch this show when our parents were asleep. We would stay up each night to watch these shows.

“It’s really not that big a deal” as the entire school explodes

This series was brilliant

Am I the only one who prefers the English Dub over the Japanese dub? Not saying the Japanese dub is bad, but to me this dub just feels more natural to me, compared to other dubs were the voice acting just feels so wooden.

One one season of this is canon. And that's all that matters

One of the first anime I've ever watched and I still gotta say What in the actual F were we on back then 😂😂😂😂

"Do you find this difficult to understand?" Yes. Yes I do. Yet, for some reason, I can't stop watching.

@kyle11606 If you think they left a lot of questions unanswered then you didn't really get the depth of the series. It's all about Naoto's coming-of-age. If you look at it from that perspective and consider all the symbolism and what each character represents(e.g. Haru = puberty/the craziness of teenagedom, atomsk = manhood, etc.) then you'll realize the ending was very fitting. I suggest you go look up some analyseses (spelling?) of the show. Understanding the symbolism makes FLCL much better

Season 2 and 3 incoming this Summer and Fall!!!

I never figured out what this show was about..I need to rewatch it.

This is some serious nostalgia fuel

Anyone else looking at this trailer just to get even more hyped about season two and three??

man I love FLCL back in my highschool life

This is one of the few anime that Adult Swim showed that honestly seems like it could have been an adult swim original with the style of humor and bizarreness to it like the shows that become later like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Squidbillies

This is one of the most underrated shows of all time.

I like my bass real loud, poppin' out my skull like FLCL Hope you live well And you don't know what I don't know

NO ITS PERFECT AS IS AND YOU KNOW IT.

I feel like the thumbnail is this entire series summed up in one frame

T_T best OVA ever made T_T

Remember this aired the weekend after the animatrix 😏 if you know you know

Good old days

when you used to play diablo 2 on dialup online and you'd hear that opening of FLCL start and be like BRB FOOLY COOLY's on~

Out of context, I can't imagine what this looks like.

Fucking awesome dude. FLCL for life.

that lady hakaru is crazy

I grew up watching this. It made me feel strange

I fucking love this show

Comparing this to the new trailer.... There is no

One of those things you just can't recreate

I’m boutta start watching this right now, I hope it’s a good ass watch😋

Does anyone know what music is playing in the background? It gives me strong Sonic adventure vibes in a way.

Trying to find where I can watch this in HD without paying for DVD's... I noticed it was on [as] on ep 5 :(

Indeed.

@kyle11606 I think it's better left a mystery, makes it more special. This anime is absolutely perfect in every way, I wouldn't change a thing.

This show is fucking peak.

The pillows- advice

0:02 - what is on the hill?

Oh yes.

Best Anime ♥ Fooly Cooly

"it's only not that big a deal"😫

Carnival by the Pillows

furikuri !!!

“Do you find this difficult to understand” 🤣🤣🤣

Chills

@TheShameofaNation Agreed. At least someone understands what a true epic story is.

They don't make em like this anymore.

Good anime for 6 episodes

It's a good show

Oh, to be 19 again.

what is that last song?

the english dub in this doesn't sound super forced or over exaggerated like other anime dubs

can't wait for the next two seasons to come out :,D edit they sucked nvm
