FLCL Opening

The opening scene from the first episode of FLCL.

This is not an anime

This is art in motion

[ZOMGItsDAF]

Every day we spend here is like an entire lifetime of dying slowly.

I still find myself thinking about that one line every now and again.

[mylittlepuppies]

I really like this scene cause it has a sentimental feeling to it.

[goldenkiller]

it’s honestly really hard to find another show that replicates the atmosphere FLCL had

[Onefromthedarkness]

this is just fucking iconic to me. hard to believe this is over 14 years old

[loudmuch]

What a masterful way to start off an anime. One of the best openings of any pop culture I've ever seen.
Good voice acting, check
Quick, enticing writing, check.
Fantastic visuals, check.
Amazing background sound music, check.
The only thing this scene didn't have, was a flaw.
Best opening 2 minuets of an anime ever, wish the rest of the anime was more like this, still enjoyable. "Never knows best"

Good stuff.

FLCL. . .
Sixteen years have passed and nothing has surpassed this masterpiece in style.
All I can say is. . . I love FLCL. . . <3

I remember many years ago when I was just a kid I was wandering around YouTube bored. I found a video similar to this and clicked it out of curiosity. I was awed by this and at the time I wasn't able to find out what this cartoon was. I discovered that it was called anime and I was determined to find it, and so I started by journey into the world of anime. I was so entranced by this world that I had lost sight of my original task and forgot about it. I was just scrolling down on YouTube and this was on my recommended list and clicked on it. As I watched the video the memories came flooding back to me, I found it.

Holy shit. I watched this over a decade ago. I need to watch this again, didnt get it back then.

I'm 71 female and a much younger male told me about this series, this is very first time I've seen it. So beautifully done. Has anyone watched this in slow motion? Seems like there are a couple of super quick insert shots of stuff I can't make out.

I remember back in 2011 when I (in 3rd grade) woke up at around midnight and found FLCL on Toonami. It was so nice that I had to show this to my brother who was in college, but it turns out he already saw it when it first came out and loved it as well. Heck I didn't even realize some of the music I was jamming with my brother to before came from this anime. It has so much feeling and nostalgia, so let me tell you that I can't wait for the next 2 seasons this year.

Nothing amazing happens here. Only the ordinary

[ndenz]

I never see subtlety like this in anime. This is easily some of the most meaningful writing I've ever seen.

"If I don't do this I'll overflow."
"What do you mean? What will happen?"
"Probably something amazing."

I'd sell my soul to be able to write like this.

For anyone wandering the song playing in the background is ONE LIFE (by the pillows ofc) :)

[pacheco]

I always end up coming to this video again and again. It's just a marvellous opening.

[uzumaki]

3 years of watching anime and I just discovered this masterpiece just now at the end of 2017..Why the fuck is no one talking about this anime? Underrated much?

[murrowboy]

I love it when they fall down and you can see the height difference. Immediately you know he's in an older relationship and so much more. Pure art.

[yungman]

I came across this anime by accident a couple months ago. I've only seen one episode but im impressed so far

[MrSaturn]

I owe everything I enjoy today to flcl.

Also got me into the pillows.

[judahosborne]

I'll never forget this opening scene.
