****I'm going to clean up this summary cause it needs work.


well, I've only seen the first 2 episodes, (well some of the 3rd on a 
fansub a year ago but that was a poor copy and I dont count it)  but 
I'll see if I can tackle this. the story-- near as I can tell- like in 
Eva, the robots are just eye candy. the real story seems to be about 
Naota and Mamimi.

INCORRECT

The appearance of Robots are from the wound that Haruko. (Pink haired crazy 
alien girl) When she hit him with her Vespa. After he was hit there was a 
large horn in the area. The emergence of the robots are tied into Naota's 
emotional state. Like for instance when he saw Mamimi kiss Canti (the 
Robot/TV headguy) the horn on his head grew to another killer robot. 


And honestly the series is truely about Naota the main character and his 
ascendance into Adulthood. How can I verify that? Well watching the whole 
series helps. Plus you don't find out what the whole series is really about 
till you see the last episode. And even then you probably won't understand 
it.

she's depressed for lots of reasons- kids picking on 
her, her boyfriend ran off to america and she misses him, she has no 
real friends... etc.

This is slightly true and slightly incorrect. Alot of her problems tie in 
with True her boyfriend leaving..but she just replaces him with Naota. And 
then later with the Ta-Kun..(The Cat) Mamimi for the most part is probably 
one of the most engimatic people. From what i can tell from the whole series 
is that she has problems with her home there for the reason why she wonders 
the street and asked Naota's dad for some bread ears. It also is the reason 
why she has a little pyromanic problem. The show never really gets into what 
happen to Mamimi to make act as such...or maybe I haven't watched it enough 
times to get the hints.


Honestly I advise anyone that watches Furi Kuri you may have to watch the 
bugger a few times before you can start to understand anything that's going 
on. I think that's the reason why so many people don't like it. There is alot 
of things they throw at you at once and it's up to you to really grasp some 
of the meanings.
