- What does fooly cooly even mean!?
FLCL (fooly cooly) is a 2000 anime from Gainax (Evangelion), who formed an eventual offshoot of Studio Trigger (Kill la Kill), which shows through clearly in this earlier work. The nonsensical, seemingly random and chaotic “it's about the vibes” style was really carved out in FLCL, where Haruko destroys the peaceful life Naota hates with Mamimi in Mabase, forming the quintessential “coming or age” or “growing up” anime. However, with that there’s also a theme of individuality and originality, expressed most in how Naota and Mamimi live in the shadow of his older brother who left, Tasuku. From baseball to their relationship, each is trying to find something in the memory of someone they loved, holding them both back from growth in various ways. In this shadow, their individuality and originality will never be expressed.
You can see this lesson applied in the real world from FLCL’s sequels, Alternative, Progressive, Gundge, and Shoegaze, which aired 18 to 23 years later to mixed results. Alternative does the most to evolve the series, followed up in Shoegaze, while the others try to follow up on the story in failed ways. They form a case study about past success; no one truly knows why anything, or anyone succeeded. Past success is a mystery which can’t be followed up, only new originality can suffice.

Im at 25:08 & all teared up dude. Very well done so far, I had a woman like this in my life when I was younger she shook up my whole world & died a couple of years later. We had a lot of parallels in our "relationship" & you summed it up nicely. I am that guy who escaped one day, thanks to her proving to me that a wild world existed.
Thank you for sharing. I don't think I have anything to really add right now, but I don't think I have to really add anything. You know the experience, and all that comes with it
Finished rewatching FLCL earlier today, so timing of this video could not be more perfect
Congratulations on 100k!
Thanks! I'm happy you all helped me get there!
Pp
As somebody turning 21 this year this vid is soo well timed.
And damn. Got me thinking about all the stuff i cling to deny the fact that im "alduting" soon
It's all about what you feel is worth carrying forward and what will or won't hold you specifically back. I still spend 8 hours some days talking about anime in my room, and I'm doing okay haha. I just gave up other things, like copious hours of video games I guess, because they were less a part of me that mattered
Great timing with the video, as always
can confirm manic pixie nightmare drew me to your channel
another one of your videos finds me at a very low time in my life, thank you for doing what you do,, i appreciate you
This video really spoke to me, thanks homie
Honestly, I never watched any of the FLCL sequels for the same reason I never watched any Madoka Magica past the original series... I never felt like I needed more and more would just threaten what I liked about the original.
But I think part of that comes from how when I originally heard about FLCL's original sequel my mind originally went to imagining what kind of man Naota became and what kind of story could be told of, say, a man struggling to be a man after pretending to be one for much of his youth, only to learn it was a whole new story entirely but with Haruko around... which to me always felt like a story decision on par with the Pirates of the Caribbean movies trying to focus on Jack Sparrow instead.
I do think a focus on Naota later in life would have been better than Haruko. I think it actually would have been a good non-action, as he copes with what life as an adult means, basically what we saw with Kana in Showgaze, but it would have had a lot more depth behind it. Instead of chasing the vibe, build something new from that love
I'm also like that with FLCL and Madoka, but I have watched Madoka: Rebellion and am excited for the upcoming sequel film. But I've never touched Magia Record, because I also think that it'll ruin my connection to the series.
Mainly because I watched the original at a time in my adolescent life where I really related to its characters and themes and grew fond for the series because of this. But Magia Record seems to lack that personal edge I loved
Found your channel like a week ago and now a proud supporter on patreon. Your videos are really thought-provoking
one of your best videos imo. sooo meta while still being so personal. you haven't lost it man : )
Prof you really had me think alot during this lecture about growing up and puberty and so on also flcl is epic. Really appreciate these discussions you do prof keep up the great work have a great day. 👍

Of course 😎
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. i just finished the video, and god I love your videos.
The very first video i saw from you was that manic pixie nightmare girl video, and as somebody obsessed with story telling and feelings i adored it (still think of it as one of my favorite video essays, but honestly i think i just feel that way because it’s what led me too your channel. cause rlly ALL your video essays are my favorite video essays). I adore the careful mix of emotion and story you put into your videos so dearly, it makes me feel less bad about sharing my feelings with people and through my art online (it has definitely encouraged me to make more personal art that isn’t as good at hiding my feelings like my old art did). And I swear with every video you make, it feels like your learning the exact same lesson im having to learn/have learned already. Also always enjoy the moral aspects of your videos and how stories are reflections of human thought.
Don’t rlly know where im going with this, but all of your videos somehow manage to make me tear up, and your channel holds an extremely special place in my heart. It’s the reason i even started to watch black lagoon and honestly if i see you make a video about a series i havnt watched yet half the time i end up watching the series just too watch more of your videos lmao
keep doing what your doing cause ITS SO FUCKING AWESOME. i adore the content you make and I believe in you SO MUCH. definitely hella inspiring to see you do your thing, each video is such a treat
Thank you for such kind words, it means so much to know my own words can provide such a value 💙
It’s Stockholm more than nostalgia for me at this point. Lately I’ve been thinking about times in my life that I know sucked but I feel comfort in them because I survived those bad times. Maybe I look back to them so much because it’s a way for my subconscious to give me hope in my current and future endeavors. It’s a cacophony of emotions and colors that are attached to them.
Your description of conforming to the standards of others and the weight of adulthood is spot on. Please write a book if you already haven’t, I would absolutely read it
Dammn that camera looks grate
More engagement for the Algorithm! Hoping this helps ❤ Really liked that point you made about why we never see Naoto's brother 😊
great video 👍
T.T i have been wanting to start my own analysis channel for a long time. And I always find myself finishing the script. Many scripts I recorded, but I decided not to. 😭😭😭 THANK YOU for sharing your stories. I am going to just record and swing the bat.
running
For the almighty algorithm
Thanks 😎
You don't need our validation, but if it helps you are very good at these breakdowns.
I’ll be glad to erase the past ten years of entertainment from my memory banks. Anything before ten years ago was good. Classical even.
Is title "Moving Passed the Past" intentional, or there is a typo?
Probably intentional, making a visual/textual distinction between “passed” and “past”. “Passed” meaning the verb acting as a adverb while the “past” is a noun, a point in time.

"If it's the past, it's behind you, but if it's passed, you're already ahead of it"
MODSUN, paraphrased.
@@ProfessorViral sorry, I'm just low IQ when it comes to English. +Sometimes, typos happen, so I was just making sure. I gotta go read some Shakespeare.
Thinking about 2015 to this day was never part of the plan 😡what a terrible night, for a curse.

Oh, thats why th my chemical romance shirt.
Why does it end always so emotional hitting (its great, love the earnest vunerability)
You forgot your personlity in the original video that added too a lot. congrats that you get as far to get an imposter syndrome of yourself?! Not that its good to feel i guess but that shows of your growth?!
Row row fight the alorythm(who is shockingly mysterious for real)
I'm just an overthinker like that haha. It's something I feel with everything, worried that I'll lose that touch of success, but it hasn't happened yet, so it's really all just worry haha
