   FLCL
Well, THIS time im ona FLCL (or Fooly Cooly) kick, so here's a summary of the show or plot^^:
Early in the first episode (after the characters and the bland town of Mabase have been introduced by a monologue from Naota) events kick off when a strange and mischievous girl named Haruhara Haruko arrives suddenly in town and runs Naota over with her Vespa and then, for no obvious reason, hits him on the head with her Rickenbacker bass guitar. Soon afterwards, Naota discovers that being hit with Haruko's bass left more than just a bump - it created a large horn that is actually an early manifestation of a robot. By hitting him in the head, Haruko activated Naota's latent N.O. portal, which allows him to pass physical objects from one astronomically distant point to another by way of his head. This is not immediately obvious, however.

Later that day Naota finds Haruko in his house, hired by his father as a live-in maid. It is gradually revealed that Haruko is in a confrontation with a company named Medical Mechanica (the name is debated to be Medical Meccanical) (whose iron-shaped factory building dominates the Mabase skyline) about recovering a powerful being named "Atomsk".

In addition to being hounded by Haruko, who uses the portal she opened in his head for her own selfish purposes, Naota is being watched by a man named Commander Amarao. He and his assistant, Lt. Kitsurubami, are monitoring Haruko and Medical Mechanica for intergalactic legal reasons and are attempting to save the Earth as the conflict between Haruko and Medical Mechanica escalates.

The plot also involves Mamimi, a delinquent and exceedingly isolated girl who fancied herself to be Tasuku's girlfriend before he left. Now that he has gone, she has conscripted Naota as his stand-in, although Naota finds her affections uncomfortable. Alone and friendless, she leans on other people, stray pets, as well as cigarettes. Like the other citizens of Mabase, she is blind to the surreal events that slowly build throughout the series, and due to her isolated nature she rarely directly interacts with anyone, and she appears to be homeless.

Naota also has several friends at his class at school, including a girl named Ninamori who seems to have romantic interests in him. They are overseen by their comically inept teacher, Miya-jun, who tries and fails repeatedly to bring the world in line with her wishes.

The main storyline revolves around Naota's exploits with Haruko, and are more an exploration of Naota's adolescent coming of age.

i hope this has interested u all to go & watch FLCL^o^!!! TRULY awesome show XD!!! (altho there's only 6 episodes...T_T). well, see u all later^^!!!!
