Ce jour-là dans l'anime

Twenty-five years ago today, the world of anime said goodbye to Haruko, Naota, and the giant robots emerging from Naota's head as FLCL concluded its six-episode run. This OVA series, a collaboration between Production I.G and Gainax, became an instant cult classic for its surreal narrative, vibrant animation, and killer soundtrack by The Pillows.

FLCL's legacy isn't just in its wild visuals or its unique coming-of-age story; it's in how it dared to be different. The series still inspires creators and captivates new audiences with its energetic, unpredictable style, proving that sometimes the most memorable stories are the ones that defy easy explanation.
