    what does FLCL try to portray in human society?

    I'm having some debates whether FLCL tries to portray that humans tend to live in illusion (AKA Plato's Parable of the Cave), or there is no real world, and we're all living inside a fantasy within our minds (AKA The Matrix)?

    i'd like to know what think this anime tries to portray.

      Well... even though i dont know what FLCL is, i will respond to your matrix theroy.
      I dont believe in that, if we are all in a dream world, who is dreaming it, and how did THEY get there, and if we are just a dream, or controlled by computers or something, why dont they just erase our memory of the subject, makes yah think if this all is just in our heads.

        See, here's the interesting thing, and I've actually thought about it a lot. A man who cannot touch, hear, see, smell, or taste literally has no way to know what is happening in the world, no way to distinguish whether he is awake or sleeping, no way to tell if he is alive or dead. We could all be in the Matrix right now, but we wouldnt' be able to tell. Ever.

        Here's something I've thought about. This is from the Matrix:

        If you've ever read The Giver, it would help a lot. In the world that the story is set in, there is no color. Everything is in shades of black and white. The only one who knows what color is is the man known as 'The Giver', who passes down the gift of color to the next 'giver'. Very wierd book, but its true. Think about trying to explain the color 'red' to someone who has been blind their entire life. You can't do it.

        Maybe nothing really exists at all. Maybe our eyes make up things, and make our brain believe that when we reach out to touch a leaf that we see, that leaf is actually there. But the most frustrating thing about this, is that with our own brains as our prisons we will never know the truth.

          Damn, that is some deep shit, It is very true what morphus said, but then again, he is fictional. But about what our minds think, who decided that the color of the forums is blue, why isnt what we see as blue, red. We cannot describe the color blue, other than "blue" the giver was an exelent book, towards the end, when the memories of the past were released, color began to show, so when you think back to when your a kid, who told you what was blue, or red? I cannot remember, and i betcha big money you dont either, if we wanted to, overgenerations we could change the view on peoples lifes

            FLCL would be Furi kuri, or as some idiots like to say: fooly cooly...

            it's one of the best anime's ever made in my opinion

            i'm not sure what it's supposed to portray though...

                  Try DC++ or WinMX. Kazaa might have a few episodes too. IRC will obviously have all of them somewhere, but it's a matter of finding out where.

                      Well, there's no reason for thinking like that because, blue is blue.
                      the word "blue" was named after a certain color that everyone can agree on (as in, whatever color everybody sees these forums is blue, regardless if each eyes see something different). It can't be "what we think is blue, is really red" because we came up with the name for both colors.

                      Umm...do you understand what I mean?

                        What are you talking about? The trim is orange, and the backround is light red. The quick reply boxes are blue. wtf?

                          that would be kind of interesting, if everyone saw different colors, for example, an apple to you would be blue, but since you were used to it, it wouldn't seem weird...i can't think of an exception to prove this wrong

                            What? Nobody's gonna comment on my subtle color un-recognition? Fine, you all suck.
