1. Naota
's older brother and Haruko (girl 1) are left-handed, Naota (male lead) and Mimi (girl 2) are right-handed, but Mimi plays baseball with her left hand. The distinction about the dominant hand is because the supervisor Tsurumaki and Ya have longed for left-handed people, so the dominant hand of the characters in the play is distinguished.

2. Haruko's voice
Haruko's voice actress Shinya Mayumi has previously appeared in GAINAX's works and left a deep impression on Tsurumaki Kazuya. Staff uses Shinya Mayumi in order to create a deviant female character, and Haruko's personality and other settings are determined according to Shinya Mayumi's voice. To a certain extent, Haruko is tailor-made for Shinya Mayumi.

3. Sexual hints
The original work of Tsurumaki Kazuya does not deliberately add sexual hints. The sexual hints that are rampant in FLCL are all the result of script Yoji Entoto entraining private goods. At the same time, Tsurumaki said that Enokado really likes sexual hints.

4. Manga-style dialogue performance
This is an experiment done by Tsurumaki in order to avoid the dullness of large dialogues, but the photography department said, "Supervisor, do you know how difficult this is to do? Give it to us as soon as you slap your head like this. How can we survive the increased workload.”

5. The idea of ​​the cigarette book with the words "never know the best"
came from a postcard that Hejuan received. Hejuan thought the writing on the cigarette was cool, so he imitated it. He was not sure about the meaning of "never know the best". Paragraph text has no meaning.

6. The robot
in the film is like many elements in the film. The robot is also one of the personal hobbies of Tsurumaki Kazuya. The carrot element did not even appear in the first version of the script.

7.BGM The
BGM in the film is all from the pillows, the songs of this little-known underground band can be adopted by FLCL just because Tsurumaki Kazuya is their brain powder.

8. The motorcycle that appeared in ED
This motorcycle is the car of Kazuya Tsurumaki, but the quality is not very good, and it has to be repaired every once in a while.

9. Haruko hit Naota's head with a guitar
The alien "atomsk" that Haruko had been looking for had a connection with Naota's brain. She thought she could hit Naota's head with a guitar. Strange things (robot canti). So she decides to pester Naota until she finds atomsk.

10. Mimi arsonist
Maki Kazuya was inspired by the murder of American DND players, and wrote a plot where Mimi confused arson games and real life, and really went on fire.

11. Canti in
the red state of Canti represents a mature man like Nao Tai’s brother, while the green state is a submissive crap

12. Linen Luoyu (Uncle Seaweed Mei) In
the fourth episode, it was said that both Naotai and Linea Luoyu hate spicy flavors The bread, which means that they are the same kind of people, if Naota grows up like this, she will become the second Lin Luoyu.

13. In the fourth episode, Mimi's panties
Tsurumaki Kazuya said that the fact that Mimi's panties were pulled down by Naita was an improvisation by the original artist, and he did not give such instructions in the storyboard. (Who do you believe this?)

14. In the fourth episode of the rivalry between Naota and his father,
a series of shots here metaphorically suggest that Haruko has become the ideal woman in Naota's mind, but Naota suspects that Haruko is dating his despised father, and he feels that Haruko's The image is tarnished. The father who appears here is a robot, and Haruko is a delusion in Naota's head (Haruko is actually playing baseball outside). The design here is that Naota directly hits the robot father with a bat, but considering that this kind of plot will cause controversy, it was changed to indirect damage.

15. At the end of the fourth episode, Maimi's "Straight is too swinging"
Tsurumaki Kazuya: "Here is a contrast between "people who can swing" and "people who can't swing". Before that, although Naota carried a bat with him, he struck out without swinging once. Now, the excuse of 'as long as you don't swing, there is always the possibility of hitting a home run after swinging out' gives Naota a sense of security. For Mimi, she kept Naota because she couldn't swing the bat. Beside her, Naota, who can swing a bat, makes Mamimi feel a danger. Before that, she had been "so cute, so cute" with Naota, and Mamimi had been controlling the initiative in her interactions with Naota. , but if Naota becomes a mature man who can swing a bat, then the initiative will be taken away by him, which is bad for Mami, but it means growth for Naota."

16. Dove Tsurumaki at the beginning of episode
5 He Zai said that these pigeons are a tribute to John Woo, because there are always pigeons of unknown meaning in Director Wu's films, so he also imitated them in FLCL.

17.
The original painting of the shootout in the fifth episode was completed by one of Imaishi Hiro. (Imaishi is a dick)

18. The shot of the pistol fired in the fifth episode
shows that Naota's arrogance will break out to a certain extent.

19. The bracelet on Haruko's left hand
was originally set as part of the handcuffs. Haruko, a police officer, fell in love with the space pirate atomsk, so the staff decided to connect the two with handcuffs. But then the story deviates from the original setting, so the bracelet becomes a navigation device.

20. Canti and atomsk
Canti are part of the hand robot in the fifth episode. Only by using the power of atomsk can the hand robot be activated. At the same time, canti can only use the power of atomsk only when it is combined with Zhitai.

21. Atomsk's logo
is a graphic Chinese character "adult"

22. Haruko's "Because Naota, you are still a child" in the sixth episode
Haruko said this line twice. The first time was because Naota was obviously a child but pretended to be an adult. Haruko disagreed and said this sentence. The second time she faced Naota who was like a child, Haruko recognized it. That is Naota's growth - rather than pretending to be an adult, a child should have the appearance of a child, so that it is more mature.

23.
When selecting seiyuu staff, the quality of each voice is more important than skill, so most of the seiyuu in this film are amateurs and newcomers with zero experience. (This is the so-called Great Reading Dafa, right?)
