Synopsis
This rock-n-roll anime combines aliens with the pains
of adolescence. 12 year-old Naota's brother has just left Japan for the
US to play baseball. Before long, two girls are vying for his attention--his
brother's girlfriend and Haruhara Haruko, who claims to be an alien. In
these episodes, Naoto finds himself being tagged to play the lead in the
school production of Puss And Boots by class president Ninamori, whose
reasons for choosing him have little to do with acting ability. Later,
Naoto finds his patience wearing thin when Haruko takes it upon herself
to teach him baseball.
Contains two episodes.

Review
How does one describe FLCL? An intense assualt on the senses,
a superkinetic, hilarious analysis on formative teenage years. It's a
good show. It revolves around Naota, a young boy from Mabase- a Japanese
suburb where 'nothing ever happens'. Of course, with a quote like that,
nothing will remain normal, surely? What follows is the first part of
a wonderful, heartwarming, clever, action-packed saga, with extraterrastrial
maids, jilted girlfriends, a mad father, and mute robots. With some truly
great fightscenes (Firestarter certainly ends on a high), a fantastic,
rocking score, and a lovable, fleshed-out, yet flawed inside characters,
it has to be watched by every anime fan. It's a bit like a cross between
Evangelion and Excel Saga.
There are some gripes, however. There are only two episodes per disc (still
great, though), and it's hard not to crave more. The voice acting, while
almost exactly the same in the dub and sub (except the languages, of course),
the voice acting is... interesting. Mamimi sounds slightly drained, but
the rest of the cast live to the series' mad standard. It's also an acquired
taste. Not everybody can 'get' the series' odd ideas.
But, really, if you can understand it, it'll probably be one of your favourite
animes. BUY IT!
