[EVA] [gainax] FLCL volume 01

[Ben Spigel]

Well, I'm a Gainax fanboy, so my view of FLCL might be a bit scewed, 
but I found it one of the funniest shows that I've ever seen. I'm a 
huge fan of the whole random humor thing, and Furi Kuri has that is 
spades. Plus, it does have some of the best music that I've heard in 
any show. Again, most of Gainax's stuff is either you love it or hate 
it. I know people who spit when ever they hear the word 'Eva', and some 
people who base their lives on it, its all about your personal taste
