What I didn't get about FLCL then but I learned as an adult is that it's about respecting yourself. Like who you like, obviously, seek out those who make you happy. But always respect yourself. If the people you're looking for want something from you that you can't give them, you don't have to try finding it.
the main message i always took from the anime is to move on with life when necessary, and that its not always a bad thing to leave everyone and everything you love behind
Love how his fixation changes from Mamimi to Haruko showing that he keeps going after women seeking something from him that he’ll never be able to reciprocate, ie being a rebound
Also kind of the deal with the ending where he stops to say he loves Haruko, when he actually chooses love she is using him as well. The true love could actually be found within the boring life that he despises
really beautiful. man this anime still sticks with me after so long being a big part of my childhood and it got me into loving art so much truly outstanding..

I love this so much, flcl is one of my favorite animes and mac demarco is also one of my FAVORITE artists. This whole video goes so well and i love it so much. two of my favorite things in one video
I finished the new flcl that came out they were not as magical as the 1st one but it was nice to go back in time enjoyed the new music that made for it.
I really gotta look into the masculinity trope in anime, usually crews or gangs in anime, or just "To become a man", cuz I don't want to misunderstand it, it's funny and then mind provoking, being manly and the manliest, flcl to me is a silly anime, whether it is a commentary about a prepubescent boy going through an identity crisis, or just a metaphor for somebody's innerself just being young and inexperienced, feeling out into the dark and whatnot, it tells one obvious thing, he grows at the end
