Not to say that's a bad thing- anime like Lucky Star, Azumanga Daioh, and K-On! are very entertaining and adorable series.
Eccentric gay anime characters series#
"Slice of life" genre anime series tend to be pretty predictable- they usually involve a group of high school girls having fun and living their lives. The soundtrack is amazing too- check out The Pillows if you get a chance.
The series is very short (only six episodes) but is able to pack themes of surrealism, politics, capitalism, mecha, coming-of-age, science fiction, sex, and comedy into less than two and a half hours of screen time.
That's quite a sentence, right? It gets even better- since getting bonked on the head by the flighty galactic investigator, giant robots begin to come through the spot on Naota's head, which has apparently become some sort of extraterrestrial portal. His life is flipped around when a pink-haired psychopathic alien girl named Haruko runs him over with her yellow Vespa and beats him in the head with a blue vintage Rickenbacker 3001 base guitar. This comedic science fiction story follows the young blasé Naota who lives with his eccentric widowed father and grandfather. FLCL has a special place in the hearts of little weirdos who stayed up a bit too late to watch Adult Swim’s anime block back in the day.įLCL is a sort of cool weird- almost an avant-garde weird.
