It's about a 12 year old with a horny dad, a horny
grandpa, a brother's girlfriend who macks on him, a girl
in school who macks on him, a girl from outer space who
macks on him, the pet robot who's a bit nutty, and a giant
conspiracy to destroy the earth. It's also the ultimate
meta-anime. Even the name of the show is multiple puns.
For your average American viewer not "into" Japanese
"culture" at all, it makes no sense for the first hour or
so. But it's fucking gorgeous, and hilarious to boot, if
you get even one-tenth the jokes.
Me, I'm never (whatever) enough for anyone - I'm not punk
rock enough, IDM enough, otaku enough. Yeah, I worship the
ground Takashi Miike walks on. So I understood a large
chunk of the show up front. Parts of it go by so fast you
have to read the websites to figure out what's going on.
But I *LOVE* FLCL.
(There's even an Aphex Twin reference in episode 5, which
aired last night on Cartoon Network.)
The packaging for them was originally very awesome, with a
nice thick book, but unless you order direct now, I
understand you won't get them. I only got a book with
volume 1, my friend got a book with 1 and 3, but not 2.

My shit ain't even going to ship until a week after I
ordered it. I wonder if they're trying to skirt Share the
Love discounts or something.
