FLCL, Adult Swim promo HD

An HD reconstruction of Adult Swim's 60-second TV spot for it's original airing of FLCL (aka Fooly Cooly or Furi Kuri) back in 2003. Classic anime from Gainax and Production IG. Be sure to watch this one in 720p!

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

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

This show will always mean so much to me.

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.

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.

The series that launched Kari Wahlgren's career.

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.

[Shredtrench]

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

[Nicolas-fmdz]

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

[naotak]

This show premiered on AS on my birthday. :')


Changed my life as a young teen.

[Azieru]

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.

[saunterrrr]

Watching this as a little boy was amazing.

[regor]

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.

[boozycruze]

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.

[TheJevardo]

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.
