Re-watching FLCL

[kawaiiii4]

SPOILER

I never realized how in-depth this series was until returning to it after a few years.

For instance, all threads between Naota, Haruko, Tasuku and Kanti: Naota admires and dwells on his older brother Tasuku until Atomsk bursts from his head, leaving room for him to consider Haruko, who immediately reminds him of his brother - Haruko reminds Naota of Tasuku just as she's bringing her bass down onto Atomsk's head, causing him to turn into the weak and blue Kanti. Naota wears only blue through the bulk of the series. The only time Tasuku is seen, he is wearing a red t-shirt. Both Kanti AND Haruko are obnoxiously superior at 'baseball', just as his brother Tasuku was before leaving to become a proplayer in America. Haruko appears as a random alien just as his brother has departed for an alien nation. When Mamimi is in danger - (a girl who Naota has been competing against his brother for, in essence) - he shouts 'Tasuku!', and is swallowed by Kanti; Kanti then becomes the red, powerful Atomsk and regards Mamimi protectively as his brother did when he saved her from the school's fire years earlier. Naota loves Haruko, but Haruko loves Atomsk - but Kanti is Atomsk and Naota is the source of Kanti. Etc,

Symbolically,
" Haruko = Tasuku = Atomsk = Kanti = Naota "

It's like they could all fuse into a single character at any second.


What did anyone else pick up from a second viewing?
