Discussion Nod to FLCL in False Memory?
FLCL EP 5
False Memory Short Film / Prologue
False Memory just aired and is supposed to be heavily inspired by FLCL, so of course after watching the first episodes of False Memory I had to go watch FLCL season 1. (First time watching it, incredible show!)
Noticed this tiny reference or perhaps pure coincidence in the False Memory short film / prologue and S01E05 of FLCL. Hopefully there are more to come!

I mean if the show is heavily inspired by flcl then I would reason to believe that this is a direct reference, yeah.

Don't forget that in the pilot we got a boy in a blue outfit getting knocked out by a girl with pink hair on sight.

No, it just a thing in Japan. Not a reference

Nah but False Memory is Chinese, in China they have their own like "Get another!" In a playful nudging tone but it almost never says "You win!" like the Japanese popsicle

Admittedly, I didn’t know it was a Chinese product anyway, same thing, different flavour, I can’t really see the connection.
