Just buy it/leech it/borrow it/whatever, get your hands on it and see it. It's what anime should be, not lame/gh3y stories about pretty and silent teenagers full of angst and dram4, but stylized, crazy, over-the-top shit.
I highly recommended it. Here are the covers from the american and japanese DVDs taken from amazon:

Erk, don't do it man, FLCL will make your sight go... Its like looking into the ARK of the Covenenant; only the crazies should do it.
EDIT: Ok, so maybe that was a bit impolitic, but seriously FLCL made me want to hurt things... and people. Mostly whoever made it and whatever equipment was used... and if Dead Leaves is on the same tangent, I'm out.

I haven't seen FLCL yet, but I have heard lots of recommedations for it and also some people trashing it. I guess you can either love it or hate it. I presume if you did enjoy FLCL, then Dead Leaves would be perfect for viewing, and vice versa.
Yeah, I checked the animenfo as well, the design/director of Dead Leaves is the same person responsible for the animation in FLCL. That could explain the same style and the similarities both anime share.

Well, I saw the first FLCL episode and, visually at least, Dead Leaves is so much more different. It uses strong blacks against flat colors and is much more simplistic and coherent IMO. FLCL looks like generic anime from what I saw and that was a turn-off for me. Dead Leaves is different and, even though it's limited animation (mostly keys with no animation in between and lots of cycles), it's very over-the-top and intense. There's some awesome character designs in there too. I mean, how can you not love a guy that has an old-school TV for a head and is called Retro?
Everyone should give it a try at least. If you don't like it, you can always come back to bitch at me for having bad taste.

As Eldo said, most of the people either say FLCL is great or they hate it. As FLCL is intense, it is hard to stay neutral. I liked the creativity & energy in the anime and the crazy character Haruko.
At the end, it's a matter of taste and I'm happy to find a somewhat similar anime. 10 more min and I'll be done with leeching

OGM is awesome. You get freakin' soft subtitles and different audio tracks in the same file for god's sake! I hope you didn't delete it Malvado...
Eldo: Yeah, I rarely venture into the Anime or Manga forums, but I think more people should know about this particular anime, so I conquered my fear and started a new thread here about it after seeing it last night.
I didn't get flamed either.

Which comes as a bit of a suprise, considering this statement;Femto wrote:I didn't get flamed either.
You don't, ever, nearly-bad-mouth FLCL. Never.Femto wrote:FLCL looks like generic anime from what I saw and that was a turn-off for me.
EDIT: Don't take this too seriously. But FLCL is not generic in any sense of the word. Judging from the DVD covers, Dead Leaves looks like some FLCL-wannabe that didn't dare go all the way. But I will save my definite verdict 'till I'm done leeching it...

Ok. I suppose. While the actual concepts may not be that far out, the animation often is... You'll see, and should have already.
Anyway, .ogm is the shit. Too bad they often come with an english track and not just soft subtitles- I often have to endure a couple of seconds of a relentlessly agonizing dub before I manage change it to japanese.

You basically just need codecs, I think. VobSub and FFDShow and the like. Try DivX-Digest or google it.
