FLCL

[Chromer]

Ok Jewpin I have a question. Do you remember the episode Full Swing when Naota hit the satellite with his guitar? What song was playing in the background during that whole scene?

That song is "Crazy Sunshine" if I remember correctly. The name Full Swing is just as bad as fooly cooly, though. Call it フリキリ... Just kidding; I think it says HRKR at the beginning of the episode, though. That would be the equivalent of FLCL.

The beauty of FLCL is that it's so awesome, but you're not sure what makes it so awesome.

The beauty of it is that it sucks.

Personally, I prefer dubbed to subbed any day, because I want it to understand what is going on. And when watching subbed, it's like hearing the same voices over and over again and I can't understand WTF they're saying. As for the Canada, they don't need FLCL because weed is already legal!

If you have never seen FLCL before, wait until the series (its only 6 episodes) starts over. Don't try to jump in right in the middle of it!I tried to start watching it about the fourth episode and got completely lost and wierded out. It took me a couple months to try to watch it again. It was really worth seeing, though.

FLCL is teh fucken LAME

any anime on cartoon blows excpt for trigun and bebop



and its a mindfuck

[Chromer]

You have no taste in anime so therefore you are teh suck

[Omeganitros]

Interesting use of logic, Chromer.

Need to add to this ^^; OST of FLCL rocks, everything else is subjective to me since certain episodes I loved and others just left me scarred ( i.e. Naota's "plug-in" dad o.O )

There are no L's in the Japanese Language, whenever there is an L, it is replaced by and R.

There is no F either. However, "Hu" is pronounced closely to "Fu."

Hence HRKR or "Hu(Fu)ri Kuri."

The song playing in the background of Episode 4 is "Crazy Sunshine" which is then followed by "Little Busters."

I get called a dumbass a lot so I don't get offended.Anyway my friend told me later that Furi Kuri is its japenese name.

[Chromer]

Okay Well how come at the ending of Furi Kura when they showed the picture of Naota standing on the rubble holding Haruko's guitar, it said Foolly Coolly on the page? Im confused now.

[nogradya]

why are you asking me

The transliteration of フリクリ is furikuri regardless of what the show says. Like Jewpin said before:

So, to answer your question, the animation team probably wanted to use roman characters, and in romanizing it they simply replaced the R's with L's for some dumb reason.

This is true, it says "Fooly Coolly" in the Flash Cameraman Magazine when Naota talks about how Mamimi became a professional photographer.
But Fooly Coolly is still the Americanized version.

Furi Kuri or FLCL is how it is pronounced in Japan and thus, the proper way to say it.
