Mania Grade: A-
Audio Rating: B
Video Rating: B+
Packaging Rating: B
Menus Rating: B
Extras Rating: A
Age Rating: 14 and Up
Region: 1 - North America
Released By: FUNimation Entertainment, Ltd.
MSRP: 39.98
Running time: 150
Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1
Disc Resolution: 480i/p
Disc Encoding: MPEG-2
Series: FLCL (http://www.mania.com/aodvb/../flcl_series_10823.html)
In Summary:
I generally tend to enjoy anime series that are built on randomness, but I was shocked at just how much I enjoyed FLCL. It takes the formula of inanity (if there is one), and adds a surprising amount of narrative depth to it. Add in the production values of Production I.G. and Gainax, and everything about it is just a treat. If random comedy wears you out, then certainly avoid it; for everybody else, just sit back and enjoy the ride. Highly recommended.
