Nice design
 ... Although I prefer the red Ta-kun one (Not Naota... I mean the cute black kitty that's in my actual avatar)

Very nicely designed (simple, and not overly flashy). It'll definently become a seller, maybe even to those unfamiliar to FLCL.

I like it, although I think it could have been improved on. I might pick one up if I see one in a store somewhere.
Heh, that's funny, because I'm wearing that shirt right now. |

I'd buy one, except my wife probably wouldn't appreciate me wearing a girl in a bunny outfit.
Well that, and I despise hot topic. |

Am I the only one who doesn't like it? I mean the picture's cool, but I hate shirts that just have a square picture on it. Looks like a cheap iron-on thing, or the crud ADV was trying to pass off on their online clothes store when it first opened. I like the pictures on shirts to flood or encompass the whole shirt, not be limited to just a square.

The point of the design is that it is a parody of an existing work (fitting for a series like FLCL). The picture is set up like the movie poster/dvd box art for the gangster classic "Scarface". I agree that the "limited" square shirts are pretty lame, but when the point is parody, and the original had that style, its only fitting. Otherwise, such a parody would horribly fail. |

i agree. it has a very cheesy feel to it. seriously lacking in originality. |

Scarface Haruko? Now that's original.

If it were any other series, I'd agree that this shirt is just tasteless. But FLCL somehow worked tasteless things into it's humor to add flavor. It's like when the scene cuts to a bad South Park impression right in the middle the Earth almost being destroyed. The impression itself isn't really that good or original, but the absurdity of it popping up in a scene that should be all tense and serious is what makes it funny. The shirt won't win any awards for originality or visual splendor, but it feels very FLCL to me. |

OMG my Haruko-cosplaying friend will love this shirt. o.o I must inform her husband that this would make a wonderful gift for her.
I like it, regardless of other criticism. |
