"FLCL" Complete Series Blu-ray, vividly depicting the orgy of adolescence

Can you imagine the moment when a seemingly ordinary day suddenly transforms into a fantastical adventure? GAINAX's legendary OVA series "FLCL" vividly depicts this boundary between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Released in Japan between April 2000 and March 2001, this six-episode story was created by director Kazuya Tsurumaki and screenwriter Youji Enokido.

Welcome to the unpredictable world of stories

The story is set in an ordinary provincial town. The protagonist, Naota, is a sixth-year junior high school student struggling with the typical adolescent worries. One day, while he is living an ordinary life, a mysterious woman named Haruhara Haruko suddenly appears before him on a Vespa. Her appearance is truly shocking: she runs Naota over with her Vespa, hits him over the head with her bass guitar, and then begins staying at his house. Without any warning, she claims to be an alien and draws Naota into a secret plan belonging to a major corporation. Even more strangely, whenever Naota feels a certain emotion, a giant robot begins to pop out of his head. This mysterious phenomenon is the core of an unpredictable story.

A unique worldview that continues to be loved through the ages

The appeal of "FLCL" lies in its innovative visual expression and deep themes. This is likely why it continues to captivate so many anime fans even now, many years after its release. The portrayal of the psychology of adolescence, the process of transitioning into adulthood, and the sometimes incomprehensible emotional ups and downs are all expressed through a unique worldview and unpredictable story development, making a powerful impact on the viewer.

Beautiful images and sound brought back to life with the highest quality

This Blu-ray edition of FLCL is recorded in 1080p resolution with the AVC codec, achieving an average bitrate of 28Mbps. This allows the original work's vibrant colors and detailed line art to be reproduced more beautifully than ever before. Everything from the fine details in the background to the line details in the foreground are rendered crisply, maintaining fluid detail even in the most intense action scenes. Color reproduction is also impressive, effectively reproducing everything from the bright red metal body of the Cantilever to the contrasting browns and yellows of the surrounding countryside. Audio quality is also uncompromising, with sound design that enhances the characters' emotional expressions and the atmosphere of the work.

A unique soundtrack featuring "the Pillows"

When talking about the appeal of "FLCL," it is essential to mention the music by the Japanese rock band "The Pillows." The theme song "Ride on Shooting Star," as well as battle themes such as "Advice," "Little Busters," and "I Think I Can," perfectly complement the worldview of the work. The exhilarating feeling created by the fusion of rock music and unique visual expression is an experience that can only be found in this work.

Rich recording content

This Blu-ray edition contains all six episodes, allowing you to fully experience the charm of the series. It also includes bonus features such as a director's commentary, music videos, NG scenes, a textless ending song, and trailers. These bonus features are valuable resources that will help you gain a deeper understanding of the production background and the appeal of the music, allowing you to enjoy the world of "FLCL" even more deeply.

"FLCL" is a groundbreaking work that has expanded the possibilities of animation with its unique storytelling and distinctive visual style. The chaotic emotions of adolescence, the process of growing into adulthood, and sometimes difficult-to-understand human relationships are depicted through original visual expression and music, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. Enjoy this masterpiece that will remain in the history of Japanese animation from the comfort of your own home.
