FLCL Autograph Session Announced

Kazuya Tsurumaki, director of the cutting-edge FLCL (pronounced Fooly Cooly) anime OAV series from Gainax Studios, will be making an appearance at the OmochaBox retail store on October 27th from 2 PM to 3 PM to sign autographs. Priority tickets will be distributed to customers starting October 19th. Only the first fifty customers will be guaranteed an autograph.

FLCL is a psychedelic, surreal fantasy set in modern day Japan in a little town called Mabase where the life of pre-teen Naota is torn asunder by the outrageous alien Haruko and the flirtatious picture of innocence Mamimi. However, director Tsurumaki (Evangelion, Nadia of the Blue Water) tosses into this relatively innocuous premise large robots that spring forth from Naota’s head, secret agents that snoop around, lethal uzi battles, an even more lethal Vespa motorscooter, and a sophisticated satirical voice that ties everything together.

FLCL will be released on DVD in the US beginning in late January 2002. A co-production between Synch-Point and Production I.G USA, the highly anticipated first DVD will contain episodes 1 & 2 of the six part OVA series.
