Why was this received well?

It aired on Toonami.

because it's LOLSORANDUM!!!!!!

Because it was fun and then people realized it was also genius

In Japan? It ushered a new era of digital animation and was literally fanservice for any 70s/80s anime otaku.

Here? It aired on Toonami and the soft-pop-alternative-rock and themes of coming of age and urban disenchantment connected well with the early 00's American public.

Because many people enjoyed it.

Nice art. Interesting characters. Something different.

I think this is about all that needs to be said.

>>145119485
Decent show that even if you don't get the sub plot is very enjoyable. The Dub is also very well done so a broader audience will enjoy it as well.

It was aired during the time hipsters were starting to become a thing. It's all pseudo-intellectual bullshit.

It was the right time for it.
>>145120147
No the scenes are paced better then that.

>>145120147
I guess it depends on your definition of "LOLSORANDOM", but I don't really think it is. It's abstract, but that doesn't mean it's random or that it has no meaning.

Found the person in the thread that probably never seen the show.

>>145123589
That or he assumed everything that happened in the show was a metaphor and not just realizing some scenes were just meant for pure comedy.

>>145123687
Hey man, plenty of things in that show are a metaphor, and that metaphor is usually "it's a penis".

Because:

It's good whether you think it's shallow or deep.

If you think it's shallow then switch your brain off and enjoy the audio-visual trip that it is, let yourself get fired up by the hilariously silly climaxes of each episode, and shed a tear for the beautifully moving ending.

If you think it's deep then appreciate the 4th-wall breaking humour, ponder the reasoning for breaks of art-style, clever symbolism surrounding the concept of puberty, and keep your eyes peeled for all the little details that you're bound to miss the first time around.

THAT'S why so many people love FLCL. It succeeds on multiple levels.

This

>>145123589
I seen it.

>>145123687
>pure comedy
I wasn't laughing throughout the 6 episodes.

>>145123863
I'm not memeing.

>>145119522
sure this is bait, but it didn't air on Toonami.

>>145119485
its style over substance but delivers every time.

>>145120147
It's older than that, and also unrelated.

(God, I actually remember the time when lolsorandumb cartoons started to appear. What a pathetic excuse for lack of talent, brain melt, and disorientation of a generation.)

>>145123249
> 2000
> hipsters

I'd say it was even before nu-metal fad and MTV's turn from music to wigger lifestyle.

>>145119485
Because it is a rare case of anime with zero filler scenes, which alone makes it perfect.
