 FLCL has received highly positive reviews from critics . Christopher McDonald of Anime News Network called it " downright hilarious " and " visually superb " with great music , citing the packaging of 2 episodes per DVD as the only weakness of Synch @-@ Point 's original release . Robert Nelson of T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews gave the anime 4 out of 5 stars stating , " FLCL may not have a straightforward or deep plot . It may not have complex characterizations . Hell , it may not have any meaning . But FLCL does succeed in its true objective . It is fun to watch ! " Chris Beveridge of Mania gave it an A- stating , " FLCL is something that allowed those involved to try a wide variety of styles and techniques and does come off as quite experimental . But nearly everything worked in their favor and you end up with three hours of nearly break neck speed action , comedy and commentary on modern life . " Brian Ruh praised the series stating , " It was very frenetic and kept pushing the envelope on what was possible in Japanese animation . "
