3.0 out of 5 stars What the HEIIO, Jun 29 2004

By

renneme "anime freak" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: FLCL, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

Well, what can I say? Good storyline, but the anime was way better. After seeing part of FLCL ep. 4 on Adult Swim, I was intrigued enough to buy the manga. I felt unsatisfied at the end, and the plot jumps around alot... or so it seems. If you read slower, MUCH slower, you can see strong (or vague) connections of events, but for a quick read... no. I read this volume twice, read the 2nd one once. I took them both back and used the money to buy the anime (all 6 eps on 1 DVD) on http://anime247.com . Now, I've heard it's a pirated or bootleg version or whatever, but I can't do anything now really, but I don't really care.. It has all 6 episodes on 1 DVD with the English dub and the Jap.Sub. version, and the quality is excellent. I MAYBE will buy the mangas over again now that I know the series a bit better, as the anime is better, and if you want to read the manga, see the anime first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sorta Like The Show, Jun 7 2004

This book is a mostly like the show. The artwork isn't like the classic MANGA but I liked it. It was cofusing for me to read this comic because you start at the back and read to the front. I think this is a must buy. If you didn't understand the plot in the show then this helps you clear it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you thought the anime was whacky...., Mar 18 2004

By

Jeff Bradford (Norman Ok, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: FLCL, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

This manga explains a lot more than the anime does, and it differs in many areas. Along with new characters and more explained characters. The art is extremely sketchy and disfigured in many ways, but that doesn't take away from its blunt and extraordinary humor and strange plot. If you read all of this, it is almost certain you'll crave for the 2nd one, buy them both at once to save yourself the trouble.

4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars for Creativity!
Ah, this is an imaginative book, to be certain.

Though I've not yet been honored with the chance to watch the anime, I've heard that the manga greatly differs from it. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, if you can accept the difference
Alot of people are disappointed about this, but I find it to be fine. A twist in the art style is good. The art has a very sketchy, distinct look to it. Read more
