Thinking about FLCL and how amazing it is. I watched the original when I was 11 on toonami, so I was around the same age as the protagonist, Naota. I didn& #39;t understand it then, but I really liked it altogether.
When progressive came out in 2018, I was 15, again, are you nd the same age as the protagonist Hidomi. I had rewatched the original good nap in preparation and understood it& #39;s themes of growing up as well as progressives themes of adolescence that I was going through as well.
Alternatives be came out a month later, but I didn& #39;t have cable and do don& #39;t get a chance to watch it until I got access to crunchyroll (shout-out to Bobo). I again shared an age with the protagonist Kana, who is 17. I& #39;ve really grown up with this series and love it a while lot.
This series has helped me keep a cool head through many challenges of growing up and overall helped the process feel normal. FLCL is just an amazing experience that& #39;ll never get old, and I& #39;m gonna make my friends watch it sooner or later because it& #39;s honestly a top 3 anime to me.
The characters unique struggles for their age range just hits me different when I relate to their troubles so personally (even though many of the troubles are fictional symbols for real issues). I& #39;m just happy for my perspective on the story. Can& #39;t wait to rewatch it and cry :)
Side note, the pillows did an amazing job on the soundtrack. Go check them out if you haven& #39;t, but watch FLCL first ;)
Im gonna keep adding on to this thread indefinitely.
I also like how I reply related things Hidomi because she was an introvert of sorts, and at that time I had really lost all my friendships, but now I can relate to Kana, who has a small but close friend group (except for the part with P*ts, but that& #39;s spoiler territory)
