How did I forget that!? Its quality is right up there with Neon Genesis Evangelion's! Actually, that last sentence wasn't a joke; NGE is seriously the most overrated anime out there. Except for Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex. Oh yeah, and Elfen Lied. Then again, Code Geass sucks too- *Gets bashed in the face.* |

I would honestly compare Firefly more to Cowboy Bebop rather than Outlaw Star... Of course.. I haven't seen outlaw Star. Don't hit me. Anyway yeah. Small ragtag crew of misfits flying through space looking for mercenary work and often finding less than legal jobs and constantly followed by trouble. |

I think that Outlaw Star is compared to Firefly more mainly because they both had a girl in a box appear in the very first episode. Cowboy Bebop and Trigun make a better set of space westerns though. Also, I actually LOVE the mecha genre; Gurren Lagann was awesome, Voltron was my first anime and I love it to this day (Yes, even Vehicle Voltron), Saber Rider also carries a bit of nostalgia value, I enjoyed GaoGaiGar, oh yeah- and who could forget the ultimate mindscrew that is FLCL? However, it DOES have a quite a few anime that are often considered masterpieces but in reality suck ass. |

FLCL? That is on my top 5 worst anime of all time. The only reason I finished it was because it was so short. It wasn't that it was a mindscrew, it was that it lacked any sort of design behind it. A guy gets hit by a bike and suddenly giant robots grow out of his forehead. A mindscrew requires that it mess with your head and play with expectations cleverly. There was no expectations gathered in this, they merely did whatever they wanted without caring for any logical conclusion or storyline. The chracters setting, plot and even animation are all sub par. |

Okay, calling FLCL one of the top 5 worst animes of all time is kind of unfair. Overrated maybe, but worst? Have you not seen Art of Fighting's OVA? Or perhaps Mars of Destruction's? Master of the Martial Hearts was pretty goddamn terrible too, and I also fail to see how ANYONE could enjoy School Days or Yosuga no Sora. Also, Ninja Resurrection was a terrible "sequel" to Ninja Scroll. None of the above anime have ANY redeeming values whatsoever, I fail to see how even one of them beats FLCL in any way. That aside, some people have different ideas of what a mindscrew is. I like to think of a mindscrew as something that makes little-to-no sense and leaves you thinking "what the hell did I just watch?" Well, FLCL falls under that category for me, and while the characters, setting, plot and even animation aren't the greatest out there, I got a lot of enjoyment out of watching the series, so there. |

Clearly that is a difference of definition. If I am left wondering what exactly just happened, that isn't a mindscrew, that is just bad writing. Something like Magical girl Madoka is a mindscrew where it completely flips all of your expectations on its head and leaves you in awe of it. In my opinion, a mindscrew is only achieved through great writing, not bad writing. That said, I can accept that bottom 5 worst anime is a bit unfair. It is certainly the worst I have ever watched though. Everyone here knows of my hatred of mechanime in general but I can usually find redeeming qualities in most of them. I found no redeeming qualities in FLCL personally though. |

FLCL is one of my favorites, and I do in fact see a design behind it. It's subtle and hard to describe, but it's something I always enjoy rewatching because the more you watch it, the more you peel back layers of the story, and what's being said, and what's being hinted at, and what it is all supposed to mean. |
