About

FLCL (also known as Fooly Cooly) is an anime and manga series from the early 2000s. The series was written by Yōji Enokido, directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki and produced by Studio Gainax. It attained an influential cult following due to its critical acclaim. In 2016, Adult Swim announced that it would be releasing a two-season sequel to the original series.

Premise

The story of FLCL revolves around the life of Naota Nandaba (also known as Ta-kun), a 12 year old boy who is bored of his life style and wants to become an adult as soon as possible. He then encounters Haruko Haruhara, who crashes into him and hits him on the head with a guitar, leading to a bump growing out of his head. Later, he discovers that Haruhara is now living with him and his father and grandfather as their maid, and that the bump has created an inter-space portal which allows giant robots produced by a company known as Medical Mechanica emerge periodically, drawing Nandaba into a plot of intergalactic warfare.

History

FLCL was directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki (who previously worked on several animes like Neon Genesis Evangelion) and was produced by Gainax, Production I.G and Starchild Records, who joined together to create the FLCL Production Committee. During April 2000 and March 2001, six OVAs (original video animations) were released, along with a manga and novel series.
