This is another one of those Love/Hate anime's, encapsulated by the first episode.
It's intro is strange bordering on insane, seems to make little sense and you're left wondering what's next as the credits roll.
Of course the following episodes include more insanity but slowly the story begins to unfold. The series even manages to squeeze in a few "coming of age" tropes in a way that feels natural, which is saying something in a anime about a guitar swinging space alien taking advantage of a poor middle school kid.
Only the viewer can decide which passion they'll feel, maybe I'm wrong but can't see many people being indifferent to FLCL.

Pro's:
- Distinct art style.
- Unique story.
- Not predictable.
- English dubbing.
- Unlike anything else.
Con's:
- Not of a fan of the really bizarre art style during the "wacky" portions.
