Dude I have the Japanese DVDs, the Japanese VCDs, and the original US DVDs. I’m a huge FLCL fan. Her summary is pretty spot on. And I’m sorry but how is it overstating how much the original is about puberty and sex? Some might romanticize it as “Coming of age” but really isn’t that what coming of age is?

Yeah the jacket is great! I want one as well

omg I wish I had done this as a kid...

I’m sure the sodas from fast food restaurants that outnumber juice places over 100:1 don’t have ANYTHING to do with the proliferation of plastic straws....

Plastic straws are good for disabled people. Paper falls apart (especially in hot beverages) and don’t work for those that need to bite down. Metal is unhygenic and not good (for the opposite reason) for those who bite down. Bamboo turns black and flavors hot beverages. Waxed straws flavor hot beverages. there aren’t…

I bet they’ll still send collections on him for that ticket too... :(

It doesn’t excuse anything he’s done, but I was ready to give credit where due if this peace talk went forward. It would have been one thing trump did that I actually agreed with (even if the method and reasoning behind the meeting wasn’t what I agreed with). He had to go and cock that up too.

It’s tough the first year, because you want to invest in the relationship, particularly because you just spent a ton of time, energy, and $$$$$$$ planning a wedding. Then after the first year you’re like “well shit I’ve been ignoring my friends this whole time”.

I played Ragnarok Online way back in the day when it first came to the US and was a female archer. I got so much free loot. I was pretty open with people that I’m a guy IRL but still got lots of freebies literally dropped at my feet.

“Like I said, the show is about puberty. But its pretty subtle,”

oh and apparently we have to buy kids cars now :( so much money.

How subtle is a giant phallus growing out of a head. “Your horn is so big” “It’s the horn! It’s stirring!” There are subtle messages in the show, but the message about puberty is bashed over your head. It’s about as subtle as getting hit by a mac truck.

Nope. I just watched it before this article came up (good timing) and they were not cuddling. Unless your version of cuddling involves taking off your panties.

I’ve watched FLCL a lot and...it’s a 12 yearold boy getting molested by a 17 yearold girl. He literally tells her they need to stop fooling around and she says they can’t or something bad will happen. That she’ll “overflow”. I get Mamimi is a broken character from a broken home but she’s an arsonist who molests a 12…

Who’s kids are you talking about? My neighborhood is all white and bougie as all hell and NOBODIES teenagers have all that. Cellphones sure...video games sure (those are much cheaper than they were when we were kids), but UBER ACCOUNTS? Grubhub for lunch?! that’s some 1%er bullshit.

BTW Cecilia, can a guy get outta the greys around here?

Mamimi dropping her panties next to him before the ballgame... Haruko calling them out for doing “perverted things”... Yeah the show is horny. There’s LITERALLY a part where the dad gets embaressed listening in on their conversation about stroking Naota’s “horn”...

Sounded to me like she understood the original season perfectly.

I’m with you that the show is amazing. I love the show. But the actor that plays Holden does suck. I hate his face and he’s not a good actor. So many others are AMAZING in that show though. If there’s one thing that comes out of it, I really hope a lot of those underappreciated actors get their career boosted because…

I’ve worked extensively with homeless heroine addicts in the past and there are good options to help. One of the interesting things about opium addiction is that it doesn’t tend to cause a lot of long lasting damage to the body. Sure, there’s the lifestyle element (dirty needles, homelessness, poor nutrition) which is…
