You either love Japanese animation or you hate it; there’s very little middle ground. I happen to love it, although I don’t always fully understand the story lines at play, as they usually involve weird sci-fi and fantasy elements.
This video is for a series called Fooly Cooly, although it’s also known as FLCL and Furi Kuri. See, the confusion has begun already.
Fooly Cooly is a six-part animated series written by Yoji Enokido and directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki. It isn’t a new show, but it’s gaining attention as it’s about to be re-released on DVD and Blu-ray.
The main story focuses on a 12-year-old Japanese boy named Naota Nandaba. But as you can see from the trailer, his life is far from ordinary.
Fooly Cooly has split opinion over its mix of different styles and the metaphorical meanings liberally sprinkled in to the plot. All I know is it looks amazing.
