December 31, 2018 EP 10 "Rad AF Spin Kick"- The Lost FLCL Episode with Angus Henderson
It's the fabled lost FLCL episode! Due to some unfortunate audio issues the planned January episode couldn't be posted so I reached into our archives and figured it would be a good time to share this one.
Resident good friend Gus comes back to talk about FLCL, Toonami and late 90s early 00s anime in the west, The Pillows are great, Gus' double puberty, identity and filling someone else's shoes, rad AF spin kicks, how Ninamori and Naota both perform maturity, those eyebrows, episode 4 got dark there for a minute, "You titty touchin?", Naota becomes his own person (and sometimes that person is a dick), the gunslinger robot and hands in anime, "Isn't that too obvious?", fun facts that aren't that fun,
and wants and needs interacting in complicated ways.
Also mentioned in this episode:
Fullmetal Alchemist
