Summary:
FLCL revolves around Naota. His life is interrupted by the arrival of Haruko Haruhara, who bursts on the scene by running Naota over with her Vespa scooter, then giving him CPR and hitting him on the head with a blue vintage Rickenbacker 4001 left-handed reverse strung electric bass guitar.Later, Naota is shocked to find Haruko working in his house as a live-in maid.
If you're interested in an anime with almost no major plot line yet packed with humor and occasional erotica, this is a solid choice. For example, the first episode is completed with a mecha battle which takes place between two bots which had spawned from the forehead of the protagonist, and is then saved by a spiky haired girl wielding a guitar which can be pull-started like a chainsaw.
Although through deeper analysis of the episodes, one may be able to find a common theme or meaning, there remains no obvious plot. Full of constant random ramblings and nonsensical ravings from the antagonist, whom may be a secondary protagonist, the actual content causes the viewer to want to see the next episode out of curiosity of what could possibly happen next.
