FLCL OMNIBUS

Fue un regalo para mi hermano y le encantó!

Se lo recomiendo a los que les gusto el anime flcl que por si no lo saben este manga es una adaptación del anime pero esta bien echa y ademas el dibujo a mi por lo menos me encanta y trae unas cuantas páginas a color. La unica pega es la calidad del papel que no es del todo buena.

FLCL is anything but a subtle series. The anime is boisterous, loud, and manic, but the themes are still there if you look for them.This Omnibus, however, is FLCL at its most mysterious. Many things are left up to interpretation and there are moments that seem almost completely unrelated to the larger story.The characters are much quieter, much less willing to open up and let their feelings fly. The action and weirdness is still there, but more often than not, I found myself wanting to see Naota and the characters interact more.This FLCL is a quieter, more personal story compared to the legendary anime, giving fans an alternate take - a B-side if you will- to the story of a young boy caught up in relationships he doesn't fully understand.

Received by son who seem pleasedwithit

A note: Don't expect to understand what's going on in this manga the first time you read it. It is just like the series in a way that you won't know just what the hell is going on the first time around. Surreal craziness and a unique, fast-paced style of story-telling is part of what FLCL is. It's got robots, schoolgirls with robots stuck to their heads, some sort of alien(?) woman in a bunny costume, the same woman driving around on a Vespa running kids over and smacking them upside the head with a guitar that can transform into a shotgun, and...You get the point.The basic premise: We're introduced to 'Takkun' (a nickname that everyone refers to him by), an uncaring boy who lives in a fictional town controlled by Medical Mechanica. However, one day he's run over by a woman with a Vespa and smacked in the forehead with her guitar, which somehow forms a parallel universe inside his head where robots can sprout out of his forehead and wreak havoc. This Vespa woman also has plans of her own, although those aren't completely made clear even when she explains them.At first, I thought the artwork was too simplified and sloppy, but the further I got into the book (which contains both volumes of the manga) I realized the art style actually suits FLCL in a dark-but-playful, weird way. It also differs from the OVA series' storyline toward the end in a way that still makes sense (in a Fooly Cooly kind of way), which I also liked. The artwork actually works with this story, which was pretty surprising (it often switches between complex and detailed to simplified and neat). I think this is a great addition to my manga collection.**** out of *****
