abbreviation for wordfooly cooly which is an Americanized translation of wordfuri kuri. Title of an
anime mini-series of six half-hour episodes about a
boy hitting puberty only to find puberty hitting back...either with a Vespa scooter or a chainsaw-powered guitar. The
boy Naota has to deal with an absentee older brother (baseball
player in the US) whom he worships, a
dad obsessed with manga/
anime whom he despises, the 17-yr-old ex-girlfriend of his brother'
s that flirts with him a little tooooo eagerly, and a possible alien female who moves in as a housemaid but really works constantly to knock battle robots out of Naota's
head. Add a robot called Canti that has to eat Naota in order to gain superpowers to battle evil robots, a factory without workers overshadowing the town that's shaped like a steam iron, a secret government force led by a man with the worst fake eyebrows in the history of animation, and a kick-ass
pop-rock song "Ride On Shooting Star" by the Pillows and you've got a ready-made cult classic.
flcl? What the f-ck? I've watched it
twice and I just barely understand the theological implications of Canti being a angelic Christ figure, but
still...what's with the spicy
curry?
