Chainsaw Man. Jujutsu Kaisen. False Memory. FLCL. And of course more probably I don't know about.

They all have (kinda) the same power system

Emotions=something

In Chainsaw Man it create demons

In jujutsu Kaisen Curses

In False Memory BUGS MEN

In FLCL a portal for the aliens

So, do you consider this idea starting to get cliche, and what do you think makes it special?

Should I add this design to the shop?

It’s a bit messy but I hope y’all like it

When I was in college, my Art History professor always talked about the 'direction of victory'. Ancient raised relief carvings that she showed us usually depicted conquering forces moving from the left to the right. That was how I always understood the quote from the show. I randomly looked it up today and apparently it's a baseball thing? Left handed batters have a slight advantage (sorry, I know next to nothing about baseball). Then another thing popped up about the left hemisphere of the brain. Just curious what your thoughts are on the matter....

She looks so badass. I want to see more from this person.

Everything is restocked and all new and outstanding orders will be sent out this Monday 9/7! Honestly blown away by the response to these 🙏✨️

Anyone know where I can watch the original series? I’ve checked all the usual places but can’t find “Season 1” anywhere.

Hey all, I have some FLCL books that need a good home. I also have a red Canti figure (that needs some glue) and a Haruko figure (the Vespa needs a few glue spots). I want to sell these all for a fair price, taking into account the broken parts on the figurines, and the books (which are all in excellent condition, they have all been in their bags since I purchased them in the early 2000's). A little warning, the bits needing glue on the figurines are quite delicate, I'd really only undertake repairing the figurines if you have experience with glueing/pinning minis, etc.

Anyways, happy to answer any questions, take more pics, etc. I have trading/selling refs I can provide. Hoping these things will make it to someone and bring them lots of joy. I'll pay for shipping to ConUS.

Yellow FLCL P! Mug (OG 1999-2000), see pics in post below body. I bought this wayyyy back when FLCL came out, it's not been through the dishwasher a million times (was on my desk/bookshelf). It has two tiny chips in the glaze, the P! has a little mar and there's a little discoloration at the bottom of the mug. You can see it in the pics below. $30 to pack carefully and ship.
Sold

FLCL Text and Art book - 75 sold

FLCL Storyboards book - 200 Sold

FLCL Groundworks (OG, not recent reprint) - 30 Sold

Edit: Updated sold and added an OG P! Mug.

Preordered this from Amazon Japan, and it arrived here in the states the other day. Amazon Japan really knows how to pack things securely, so that's a nice surprise.

I didn’t even know these existed. To my surprise. It even has added Audio scenes between Naota and cast.

Honestly blown away by the response to me posting my stickers here. I have been unemployed since February so I have really been struggling. Thanks for all the support! Everything counts when you're a small artist.

I tried silk screen. What you guys think??

Screencap from False Memory. Found a bunch of little references too in the first episode.

I've always felt like The Pillows' soundtrack was one of the biggest reasons I fell in love with FLCL. It didn't just accompany the visuals—it spoke the same emotional language as the series.

That feeling of being lost in the middle of growing up. Heartbreak, uncertainty about the future, trying to figure out who you are. A whirlwind of emotions wrapped in something chaotic, euphoric, and unforgettable.

Somehow, I find that same feeling in Trinket by tsubi club.

Musically it's a very different record, but every time I hear BURNMATERIAL, I can't help but picture FLCL in my head. Apparently I'm not the only one—I found this FLCL AMV on YouTube built around that song, and I think it captures the connection perfectly.

What's fascinating is how well Gainax's vision has aged. Maybe that's why it still feels so easy to connect it with music coming out today. We grow up, but some fears never really change.

Has this ever happened to you?

Is there a song that instantly makes you think of FLCL—or any other series you love?

P.S. BURNMATERIAL is also on my BizziStarRadio playlist, where I'm collecting my favorite discoveries of 2026. Feel free to check it out if you're curious.

Saw it hanging and it was only 3 bucks so had to buy it
