Amazing. It's mostly about friendship but there are some darker moments. I mean, you've probably already watched at least one mahou shoujo anime, so you get the basic idea.
Flip Flappers is incredibly cute, the atmosphere just sucks you in from the first episode to the last. It's a bit like an enchantment.

bizarre, artsy, nonsensical, amazing?
a surreal experience, go into it with an open mind and it's worth the watch.
great artwork and animation.
the plot leaves something to be desired. writing certainly came secondary to the atmosphere and creative aspects of the show.
somewhat fanservicy at times, but is fairly mild and doesn't feel overly gratuitous.
still manages to be strangely captivating despite its flaws.

Mix of "Alice in Wonderland" and mahou shoujo with hints of Miyazaki's "Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä". Fan service for male audience is subtly mixed in and shown as something natural, during some simple things/actions. Has some similarities with "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". Was funny to hear again voice of Jun Fukushima (Kazuma from "Konosuba"). Art of ending is great.

This show is visually fantastic. The content is incredibly vapid, made it difficult to go on.

As others have stated, this is an Alice in Wonderland-type story; a surreal fantasy world. The artwork is really good, almost in a modern sort of picture-book style. The action scenes are cool, too. Age-wise, I'd say the plot and 'exploring friendship' concept is geared toward early teens girls, but as with a lot of anime, the quality of the show makes it appropriate for people of any gender or age. This show is an excellent one to introduce someone to the wide world of anime without scaring them off. While watching this, I felt the show was truly immersive with just enough vagueness to the plot (and the world in particular) to make me want to know more about what the creators were plotting. Even with a template plot, the story is pretty well told... and really not over the top.

Wow I never enjoyed being so confused and bombarded with so many weird unexplained magic! Its wonderful!
It started off by throwing you down the Alice's rabbit hole and next thing you know; you are like a little child bright eyes at a glittering carnival wonderland.
FliFla is confusing, strange, weird but surprisingly easy to follow; that's how good the plot is. The plot also enjoys a few good twist with good pacing in unfolding clues and events. And the major characters are all very well like and linked. I really enjoyed its art and animation as well - its like the animators just went wild each week with diff themes and color palettes. The art is so good because its so surreal. Like seriously the art is good! It's a world weave frm imagination.
All in, FliFla gave me "a kid at a carnival wonderland with bright glittering eyes" vibe. Its magical girl, parallel world, twisty plots adventure. MUST WATCH. And I dare say best anime for 2016! Favorited and 10/10!

female, , brown eyesThe character has brown eyes., hair clipA small metal or plastic clip used to keep the hair in a certain style, or sometimes just for style., loliLoli is a short form of the word Lolita, describing sexually precocious young girls. The related fetish for this is called Lolicon (Lolita Complex)., scarf tieA scarf tie is an item that would ordinarily be a scarf, but which is being used to tie a collar, typically a low-cut collar, well below the neck line, or attached in a similar way. Scarf ties are a common part of the sailor uniform frequently seen worn by Japanese schoolgirls. A scarf tie is not to be confused with a regular scarf; they should be treated separately. It is also not a ribbon tie; in fact, despite the name, a scarf tie is not a type of tie at all., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair., small breastsSmall breasts (flat chested) are breasts that would be considered below the average size for real life medium breasts., thighhighsThighhighs or stockings are a close-fitting, variously elastic hosiery piece that fully cover and extend above the knees, or partly cover the knees, leaving only the thigh area exposed. Generally, "thighhighs" refers to stockings that stay up by the use of built-in elastic. In contrast, "stockings" is the general term and/or refers to the kind of stockings that need a suspender belt / garter belt. Hosiery that rise up to, but not including, the knee, or slightly thereunder, are knee highs., wristwatchA wristwatch is a timepiece that is made to be worn on a person, attached to the wrist with a strap or bracelet. In addition to the time, modern watches often display the day, date, month and year, and electronic watches may have many other functions.

They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., simple-mindedThis character exhibits a `special` sort of intelligence. Be it the inability to comprehend even the most simple of situations, or the lack of common sense found in even a preschooler, the character never ceases to amaze both the show`s cast and audience with their idiocy.

These shoes make the wearer taller, accentuating the calf muscle and the length of the leg overall. There are many types of high heels, which come in different styles, colours, and materials, and can be found all over the world. They have significant cultural and fashionable meanings attached to them, which have been largely shaped by historical contexts over the past thousand years., magical girlMagical girls (also known both in Japan and in the West as mahou shoujo, and in Japan as majokko) are young girls with superhuman abilities of magical nature. In the early years, magical girls usually used magic to solve everyday problems and often transformed into idols; nowadays, however, the term is most often used to refer to with girls who fight evil using magical powers, and, although transformations are still common, they tend to be more along the lines of a change of costume., pink eyesThis character has pink eyes., shieldA shield is a type of personal armor, meant to intercept attacks, either by stopping projectiles such as arrows or redirecting a hit from a sword, mace or battle axe to the side of the shield-bearer.

male, , Coke-bottle glassesCoke-bottle glasses are glasses with extremely thick lenses. As their name implies, they are reminiscent of the lens-like bottom portions of Coca-Cola glass bottles. In fiction, they are heavily associated with "nerdy" characters, and are generally displayed through one or more of the following characteristics: be entirely opaque, greatly reduce the size of the character`s eyes when seen through the glasses, or have a swirl pattern.

female, glassesGlasses (also called eyeglasses or spectacles) are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction, eye protection, or for protection from UV rays.

However, a character who wears prescription glasses with dark lenses or who wears both eyewear types should take both tags., wheelchairA wheelchair is a chair with wheels, designed to be a replacement for walking.

Hair ribbons are often tied into bows. They may also be present as part of a hairband.

, robotA robot is an automatically guided machine, able to do tasks on its own. Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own.
Not to be confused with android (human-like robot)., robot helperIn a science fiction setting, the robot helper is, in a comedic sense, pretty much equivalent to what the "cute comic relief animal sidekick" is in a fantasy setting. The usually small machine has artificial intelligence, enabling it to support their owner / master with advice or help with menial tasks.
Androids should not be considered robot helpers since these are far more complex; use the android tag instead.
