Episode 1: Fooly Cooly!
Haruko wants Atomsk. She wants his power, she wants to be merged with him. The Medical Mechanica has imprisoned Atomsk. Haruko was sent to earth to open an N-O Channel because Atomsk was about to escape. Haruko found Naota, who is capable of sustaining such a field, and attempts to smack him with her bass guitar. She screws up, and crashes into him, revives him, and then hits him. But nothing comes out. Physical trauma to the head, is apparently necessary in opening (forcing?) an N-O Channel
Later, Naota begins growing a horn. The horn is actually the finger of a robot Canti. Naota goes to visit a doctor about his horn. The nurse is actually Haruko, who attempts to smack Naota again, hoping to get the field open. Naota runs away. He runs home, only to find that Haruko ran over Naota's dad, Kamon, and is now their live in house maid.
Haruko sleeps in Naota's room. In Naota's bed. This pisses Naota off, so he goes downstairs, where he talks to his dad. His dad starts questioning him about Mamimi (Naota's brother's old "girlfriend"), Naota runs out to see Mamimi who is on a bridge somewhere around town. There, they talk. Naota brings up that his brother (Tasuku ). Mamimi overflows (headache? migraine? I am not sure), and Naota gets stressed.....
Back at Naota's house, Haruko's bracelet starts to react (it reacts to the power of Atomsk), Haruko races to the source of this, which is the bridge. The horn on Naota's head grows, and eventually Canti emerges. But Canti is not alone, he is being grabbed by some other robot. Canti gets out of Naota's head, and only the hand of the other robot gets out. Canti and the other robot fight (Naota is attached to Canti during the fight). Canti destroys the other robot. Haruko appears, and smacks Canti in the back of the head. Canti's red color fades, and he becomes tame.
The red Canti represents Atomsk. I believe that Atomsk was using Canti to escape, and the other MM Robot was sent to capture Canti with Atomsk in it, since Atomsk was a threat. When Haruko smacked Canti, the red color faded from Canti, and I believe it went INTO Naota. Part of Atomsk's essence is in Naota and the other part is still in Canti. This explains why in other episodes, Canti only turns red when he absorbs Naota
I have these guides saved on my comp for FLCL noobs.
Theres one of my prewritten reviews!
Episode 2: Firestarter
Starts out with Mamimi playing some handheld videogame about burning stuff to please a dark god Cantide. Mamimi is obsessed with this game, which is probably related to her past, when she burned down her elementary school, which was also when she met Naota's brother, who saved her. Mamimi rescues a small cat that she calls Ta-Kun (also her nickname for Naota).
Canti is now living with Naota, and Kamon is using him to run errands, do work, and all sorts of crap. Haruko, the maid, barely does any maid-like work. During Canti's free time he wanders to the site of the burnt school yard, and is collecting small pieces of the back of his head. Mamimi sees him, and mistakes him for the angel, Cantide (cause he has a little halo thing on, and some small wings). Hence, she names him Canti.
Haruko uses Canti to take x-rays of Naota's head. She reveals that his head is empty, and all that is left is a black hole type thing. Haruko also reveals herself to be a part of some space organization. A new horn is growing in Naota.
Haruko gets on her vespa and drives towards the MM Plant in town. She crashes into it, and is detained by two guards. She makes the comment that the MM plant is not a place where people work, as there are no doors or windows. Naota comes to Haruko, gives her a spare part for her vespa (a small gundam), and they drive home.
Fires have been popping up all over the city, officials suspect it to be arson. blah blah blah, Naota and some of his school friends go and visit the site of one of the fires, some boat house. One of the guys (Masashi) talks about how some people say it is UFOs, and how some magazine got a picture of a flying object (Canti). Naota sees Mamimi in the river, she had been bullied by some other kids. Naota leaves his friends and goes to Mamimi. While walking behind her, Mamimi drops the handheld video game, and lights a cigarette. It then clicks in Naota's head that Mamimi is causing the fires, trying to be like the character in the game, trying to win Cantide's affection (Canti). Naota looks up, and Mamimi is gone.
Naota goes to the burnt down school yard and seeing Mamimi sitting in a circle of cigarettes with the Atomsk symbol drawn on the ground (think pentagram or whatever). She is "summoning" Canti/Cantide. Canti happened to be around, and Ta-Kun (the cat) notices him. Mamimi approaches Canti and attempts to kiss him. Naota spazzes, the horn grows, and out emerges the rest of the robot from Episode 1. It begins kicking the crap out of Canti. Mamimi realizes that Canti is not a god, he is not Cantide, he is weak, and retarded.
The robots fight (pretty one-sided...), and Mamimi is thrown into danger. Naota rushes to save her, and he does, kinda. Canti is laying on top of him, and the other robot is moving in for a big kill. Naota calls out for his brother, and something clicks in Canti. On his screen the sign of Atomsk shows up, and he counters the enemy robot's attack. Then he absorbs Naota. Then he turns red. Then he proceeds to kick the crap out of the other robot, transforming into a gun thing. Haruko comes in to make the finishing move.
Canti expels Naota, and Naota decides that he will stay by Mamimi for as long as it takes, that he will protect her. They leave.
Basically in this episode we find out more about Mamimi. We find out that she is a loner, gets pushed around by her peers, is kinda delusional, and blurs reality. Canti only reaches his prior full potential (as shown in episode 1) when he merges with Atomsk, though some of his strength returns when the Atomsk symbol appears on his TV. I think that this is supposed to show how the power of Atomsk is kinda split between Naota and Canti. When Naota became scared, and called out for his brother, the two aspects of Atomsk probably reacted to each other, and that is what caused the Atomsk symbol to appear on Canti's screen, which saved them from the attack.
Another pre-written review on my comp!

Episode 3 starts with Ninamori (The class rep for Naota's class) in a car with her father's secretary. Ninamori's father (Mayor) is in some legal trouble, and her mother is planning on divorcing him. Ninamori's father is also sleeping with the secretary. Ninamori says she doesnt care one way or the other. This continues the theme in FLCL of adults acting childish, and kids acting adultish. We'll see more of this when Amarao arrives in the next episode.
Anyways, with the trouble at Ninamori's home (news media people swarming thier house..blah blah blah), she has been having a hard/difficult time. At school she is the lead of some play, and Naota is the other main character, a cat named Puss-in-Boots, which is convenient since Naota's new horn looks like a pair of cat ears. Naota doesnt want to be in the play, he was cast based upon majority vote, but he thinks the play is childish and stupid. So he ditches the practices. Ninamori scolds him and tells him he has to come, that it is important. During class, Naota's friends show Naota a magazine that they bought (which is being written/published by Kamon...though Naota didnt know it). At first i thought it was some kind of porn magazine, but I am pretty sure it is a trashy tabloid-esque magazine which was putting down Ninamori's family. Naota's teacher catches them and talks about how this is unnappropriate actions for a class where NInamori is in. Class ends, Naota ditches the afternoon rehearsle. Then he goes home.
At home, we see Canti gluing together pieces of the back of his head, Haruko catches him, and embarrasses him. Haruko then talks with Naota and promises to meet him to go get some curry for dinner.
Ninamori goes to Naota's dad's shop to find out more about the magazine. He gets a magazine and a drink, and goes to the trainstation to sit and be alone since she doesnt want to deal with the crap at home. Naota shows up by coincedence, and they talk. Ninamori suggests that she and Naota run away, but Naota says he only came here cause he was meeting someone (Haruko). Haruko shows up, and in true Haruko style, sideswipes Ninamori by accident. NInamori is flung into Naota, and Naota is knocked unconscious. His hat falls off. His cat ears are revealed. Haruko warns Ninamori not to touch the ears, but she does anyways, and starts to feel sick. Ninamori now is capable of opening a IO-Field.
All three of them go home. And Ninamori is treated to curry that Haruko made. Ninamori hordes all of the mild stuff, leaving everyone to practically die on the hot stuff. Kamon finds out that Haruko sidewiped Ninamori and he freaks out, afraid that he will get introuble for hurting the mayor's daughter so he insists that she stays the night. Naota objects. Kamon overrules. Ninamori questions about Canti, but she gets jibberish answers from Kamon.
After dinner we see Ninamori bathing. Kamon talks to her through the window. Ninamori thanks Kamon for getting rid of her dad's secretary, I assume it was Kamon's tabloidish-zine that spilt the beans (whether true or otherwise, it meant nothing to him) about the secretary, which made the secretary split the scene.
Ninamori goes to Naota's room. She is wearing Naota's pajamas. Naota is kinda pissed, and tells her she should go home, how it isnt right. Ninamori says they just wont mention this night to anyone, so whatever happens, happens. Naota learns that Ninamori actually wears glasses, but during the school hours she wears contacts to hide it. Perhaps because glasses make her look childish. Then Ninamori reveals that she rigged the votes to make her the star of the play, and Naota the lead. Haruko overhears this (she was sitting on the top bunk), and talks about how sweet it is for Ninamori to be honest and crap. Basically, Haruko now forces Naota to go to the play practices.
Next day at school Haruko comes with Canti to give Naota bento curry for a snack/lunch before the afternoon rehearsle. Naota says he isnt staying, dressing like a cat is lame, and other stuff. Haruko forces the curry into his backpack, and then Ninamori grabs Naota when he tries to leave. She says he has to stay, because this play is important, because both her mother and father will be there to see her. Together. Naota calls Ninamori selfish, and talks about how stupid the play is, and how he would die if he had to go on stage looking like a cat. This pisses Ninamori off, and she rips the hat off of Naota's head, revealing his cat ears. Class=Stunned.
Naota, not to be outdone, then proclaims to the class how Ninamori rigged the votes. This gets Ninamori incredibly/stressed and bam, the Medical Mechanica Plant moves and and starts to send a new robot through the IO-Field, While Naota was originally the target field to go through, Ninamori's upset condition became more viable and so Naota's ears dissappear and then reappear on Ninamori's head. Then the rest of the robot pops out. Kinda. It is still partly in Ninamori's head, she apparently isnt as good of a IO-Field conductor as Naota was. The robot attacks Naota at first. Did it attack Naota because Ninamori was mad at him? Nah, I dont think so, I think it felt Atomsk inside him, and since MM wants to destroy or capture Atomsk it instinctively went to Naota...but Canti was also still in the classroom (with Haruko), so after the initial attack on Naota, it realizes that Canti is there, and moves in to attack him. Haruko starts issuing commands to Canti, how to fight and stuff. Canti does an ok job of dodging and putting Ninamori's panties back on, but not really effective in offense. Haruko attacks using a ukele, but it sucks.
Haruko then calls for her vespa and her bass guitar. She and Canti run from the class room, and up to the roof of the school. The robot (still attached to Ninamori...with Naota hanging on) follow. By the time the robot gets to the roof, Haruko has her bass guitar and attacks the robot. The robot uses Ninamori to defend. Naota is flung off the side of the building, and destroys Miyaji's (teachers) car. Canti then jumps down and absorbs Naota. I forget exactly, but I think when Naota was flung off the building his backpack ripped open and his bento curry came out. The bento curry fell in the mouth of the robot (which was beaten open by Haruko), and it causes the robot to have a little bit of gas....Ninamori is completely expelled from the robot, and then Canti converts to gunmode and fires, destroying the robot.
Then we see the opening of the play. We learn that Ninamori's family didnt get divorced, and her dad did not go to court. We also see Ninamori standing on the stage wearing glasses (though, they dont have lenses), perhaps a sign that she has come to terms with who she is, and unlike Naota realizes that she is a kid, and should act like one. With the pressure at home gone, and with her peace of mind from finally coming to terms with "being herself" (remember, above all, FLCL is about "coming to age"), it is assumed that the IO-Field is incapable of being generated within Ninamori. In later episodes she never grows horns. Now, if only Naota could realize this....
This episode is yes, unnamed in english....

haha, i luv that song (on my myspace profile)
i already knew that it had a story line, that's why i wanted it to last longer than 6 eps
half pf it doesn't make sense cause they don't take the time to explain everything
Doesn't make sense unless you look into it and/or watch it over 50 times, I've seen episode 6 :Fooly Climax over 80 times...it's pretty awesome :ROFL: rusty shackleburg!
