I've been watching anime since the mid eighties. I saw Macross before Robotech finished airing here. I had 4th generation bootleg betamax tapes of Amor Hunter Mellowlink. I watched every Brave series as they aired. I lived in Yokohama for ten years, and waited IN QUEUE for the laserdisc release of the original To Terra. I've had lunch with Kunihiko Ikuhara, smooed a cigarette with Watanabe after a Seat Belts show. I've done it all, I've seen it all. I am a qualified expert.
And Flip Flappers is THE greatest anime I have ever seen. Bar none. This is where the medium has been going since day one. From the very first cel, it was all leading to Flip Flappers.
Mark my words, this show will go down in history. It will change anime in a way not seen since Shogoki took her first steps in NGE.

I am 38 years old and I have been watching anime a long time.
At first, I was very impressed with Flip Flappers because it is clear the creators are consciously trying to convey to modern viewers why people have continually found anime exciting for the past 40 years or so. I think they were very successful at that.
However, I've since changed my opinion and don't like it that much because it is too referential - it doesn't present any new ideas, and it is too infatuated with nostalgia.
It's like the anime version of Stranger Things, expect Stranger Things is exclusively focused on western media from the 80s (and Elfen Lied), while Flip Flappers draws from a wider range of both Western and Japanese sci-fi and fantasy.
It celebrates innovation, but doesn't do anything innovative itself.
