FLCL (Fooly Cooly/Furi
Kuri)
Plot:
The first season of FLCL is a coming-of-age
story and revolves around Naota Nandaba, a 12-year-old, working-class boy
living with his widowed father and grandfather. His life in the city of Mabase
is interrupted by the arrival of a Vespa-riding maniac named Haruko
Haruhara. She runs over Naota then revives him with CPR before hitting him on
the head with her left-handed, electric bass guitar (a blue, vintage Rickenbacker
4001) and proceeds to stalk him. Finding Haruko weaseling her way into his
life as a live-in maid, Naota discovers that the head injury she caused created
an "N.O." portal, which giant robots produced by a company known
as Medical Mechanica emerge from periodically. The first of these robots is hit
on the head by Haruko and becomes a friendly service robot later named Canti.
Canti ingests Naota to assume the reddened form he first had when fighting the
robots sent after him.
Haruko
claims she is an alien investigator from the Galactic Space Police Brotherhood,
and her presence places Naota and those around him in danger. The Interstellar
Immigration Bureau's Commander Amarao, who Haruko has a history with, instead
reveals she is an apathetic seductress seeking a space-manipulating being
called Atomsk who was partially contained within Canti. Every time Naota is
absorbed by Canti, Atomsk is gradually brought to Earth. As Atomsk is held in
Medical Mechanica's custody and Haruko ultimately places Earth under threat,
the company eventually turns their factory stationed on the planet into a
doomsday terraforming device, attempting to have Naota and Canti absorbed by
the doomsday device's Terminal Core. Haruko's plan fails as Naota ends up
becoming Atomsk's host and then releases him into the universe after a brief battle
that ends Medical Mechanica's attack on Earth. Haruko follows after Atomsk, and
Mabase returns to some normalcy.
In
the second season, FLCL Progressive, Haruko returns to Mabase years
later after a failed attempt to contain Atomsk, although she did manage to
absorb him. Placing herself as a middle school homeroom teacher, Haruko targets
a 14-year-old girl named Hidomi Hibajiri through her classmate and eventual
love interest Ko Ide. Haruko finds opposition in both the headphones Hidomi
wears and Julia Jinyu, a more stoic offshoot of Haruko that splintered from her
during her initial attempt to control Atomsk's power. Haruko eventually eats
Julia to restore herself, and uses Ide to get to Hidomi. Like before, this
causes conflict between Medical Mechanica and the Interstellar Immigration
Bureau, as the latter was reverse-engineering Canti's technology to utilize the
N.O. Channel's energies for their own use. Atomsk appears on Earth as planned,
but Haruko ends up failing again with a freed Julia taking her leave. Haruko
regains her composure and resumes her hunt for Atomsk as Hidomi and Ide begin
their relationship while Mabase rebuilds after much of it was destroyed by
Medical Mechanica.
In
the final season, FLCL Alternative, Haruko enters the life of high
school student Kana Koumoto and her friends as she became a mentor of sorts to
Kana in helping the teen's transition into adulthood as Medical Mechanica begins
its assault on Earth.
