SHOW REVIEW: FURI KURI

A teenager on a quest for more, refusing to be restrained to a “boring” suburban life, encounters something abnormal, something out of the ordinary.

FLCL, alias Furi Kuri follows the life of a 12 year old named Naota Nandaba, a kid that believes everything in his life is just bland. His big brother, Tasuku, a pro baseball player, is almost never around, and his dad is pretty withdrawn into his shell as a widower, and this means Naota is thrown into the deep end of life's pool, without help from the older figures in his life, left to thug things out by himself, including his gigantic crush on a girl older than him, Mamimi Samejima.

While hanging out with his crush, in a sudden turn of events, he crosses paths with a pink haired otherworldly being by the name of Haruko Haruhara, who runs him over with her scooter and in the process of applying CPR on him, opens a portal in his head, signified by an extensive, abnormal growth.

She leaves him, but soon returns to his life as a maid, because that portal is like a blessing in disguise— a chance to take down some very villainous people, capable of causing cataclysmic damage on a cosmic scale.

With all this happening, it's safe to say that Naota’s life isn't so boring now, is it?

This anime was released in 2000, way ahead of its time, and very eccentric, but in an attractive way.
