Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes talk about Japanese anime!

Listen to Season 8: Episode 5 – Sexual Punchlines

We’re back with another wild episode of FLCL to discuss. In Episode 5, “Brittle Bullet,” things get a heck of a lot hornier, and there’s at least 200% more guns. And hands. It’s a weird episode. And that’s even by the standards of FLCL. Just one more episode to go in this season. Will we actually get some actual plot, or will this just be an experiment in frustration? Guess you’ll have to listen to this week’s episode to find out!
