    Can anybody elaborate what does What does FURI KURI (Fooly Cooly) *FLCL* actually mean? I mean, it is confusing on how they explain it in the first episode but then it is like droped till the last one and doesn't really get explained.:anime:

    I mean, if you think about it, they only explain it once and very fast and it is annoying. I think you would have a btter time, reading the manga or the original script to figure it out.

    dvd when it goes into comic form)

    nono, in the "manga scene" in ep one, Naota's grandpa is showing "kuri kuri" which is like kneading bread.

    so..I have no clue what Furi Kuri is...

    Well, this isn't a serious theory, but at a glance, I'd say that it's inversed, but I'd take it to mean "Cool Fool".

    But, like I said: not a serious theory and I think it's important to remember that.

    You just asked what does it mean, and now you say it doesn't matter?

    Anyway, im guessing its related to some sexual related act....

    And I Welcome you two Newbies to m2a,
    Dont Spam,
    Read The Rules
    And have a great Time. :D

    Personally, I love the name Furi Kuri...its confusing and makes sense...same thing with Fooly COoly...you cant really pick out a meaning...but you know its there....kind of like..

    I guess it depends on your train of thought...
    You can think of it as something perverted,
    or something cool,
    or just something weird.

    i found the answer on
    http://www.agefive.com/FLCL/html/f_a_q_.html about the topic of this post


    Q4. And of course, you know it had to be asked: Why is the series called Furi Kuri?

    A4. It is a pun on a bunch of different words. The actual name of the series is “Fooly Cooly”, but when you write it in one of the Japanese scripts (Kanji? Or something, I don’t know), it comes out to be “Furi Kuri” which means a bunch of things (breast tweaking, chestnuts, kneading bread...). Any ways, I think the series is called “Fooly Cooly” because Naota, throughout the series, attempts to act “Cool” (as in adult like, mature), but he is a “fool” for trying to be something he wasnt.

    Oi, spamcakes! Three words do not constitute a post. Try putting a little thought and effort into it! Think things through before you say them and make this a more enjoyable experience for us all.

    Furi Kuri, to my knowledge, means several things in Japanese;
    Chestnuts, kneading dough, breast tweaking (-_o), and a couple of other random stuffs. Most of it happens in the anime.

    Fooly Cooly is truly what it's called, (what I head) but when written in hiragana/katana... Furi Kuri is how it looks. Anyways Fooly Cooly is easy enough- a boy trying to be all cool and making an idiot of himself.

    OK, as MT said: no effing spam.

    I mean what the hell?
    Post 1: you say something interesting
    Post 2: you respond to yourself and say 'that was interesting.'
    Post 3: you quote yourself

    It's just not necessary. 35 posts a day.. good laws you'll burn yourself out. Pace yourself.
