Abstinence only.

She never know what's best for herself?

Seriously, what's with this meme?

Listen to the director's commentary.

It means she's a hipster and there's no meaning behind anything she does

>>133825535

Read it as:
______ Never Knows Best

And then you fill in the blank with something FLCLish

>>133825535
IIRC The director said he saw it on a postcard and thought it looked interesting or something along those lines.

For the longest time I thought it was Father Never Knows Best, but I don't remember where I heard it from, so I don't know anymore.

My guess would be that this is a nihilist solution to the powers that be and the loss of individualism. Anyway it can mean anything since this was choose just because it looked interesting.

Mamimi is not a smart girl.

Uncertainty knows best. Instead of trying and not knowing what will come out of something, better stay with the "never", by doing nothing you know what the outcome is going to be, "Never knows best"

It's not really difficult to understand.

>>133826074
i love how 90% of the times, all those little details that everyone searches a deep meaning in, just result being some random thing the director put there just because, without any special reason

>>133826074
found it:
When asked about the meaning, Tsurumaki Kazuya said:
“Oh, that? Originally, it was a cigarette on a postcard I have. It was a close-up picture of a cigarette that had “Join London” on it. And it was probably handwritten, not printed.
I thought it looked cool and that I would mimic it.”

Kazuya also said, “Oh, no. I’m not sure if it has a real meaning or not.
How can I say it? Um…There’s a best way, and not everyone can follow it.
No one knows the best way.I thought it reflected Mamimi’s belief that there’s no future.
That it had a nuance that said she’s given up on life.”

>>133833996
>throws in random shit that "looks cool" and later tries to add a meaning to it
FLCL and its fanbase in a nutshell.

>>133833996
According to this article, "Never knows best" means "No one knows the best way."

youre mixing up the two different things

>why did you add a scene with writing on a cigarette?
>because it thought it was neat

>why did you have it say what you did
>because i thought it reflected the feelings of the character pretty well

anyway i think all these mythical people that try to find meaning in FLCL dont exist. its just a neat anime. whats wrong with liking it?

>>133825535
>director is the protege of Anno
>expecting any meaning to the imagery

>>133833659
There is meaning that exists outside of a creators intent, because of the reality of cognitive dissonance or being unable to internalize knowledge and experience, and other similar situations. Things have a way of sneaking past the ego, the id, the conscious brain, the fuck ever you wanna call it.

The people trying to convey something meaningful often fail to do so, while those simply making observations and statements will frequently, accidentally show you something that makes you think. It doesn't matter that Anno thinks Eva is total bullshit because he pulled it all out of his ass--it means quite a few different somethings to many people, directly due to his own life decisions and desires.

Unless all decisions are made entirely at random with no thought whatsoever and no experience playing into them, all actions are the result of the total net human experience of the perpetrator.

You now know why academia and the humanities have struggled to engendered some kind of foothold among the population at large while 2-bit "artists" are on the tip of the tongues of entire generations.

Monogatari is absolute trash in comparison. Take the absolute best moment in Monogatari and it's still vastly inferior to every scene in FLCL. There's so much more heart and emotion in the latter
