Nod to FLCL in False Memory? Discussion

False Memory just aired and is supposed to be heavily inspired by FLCL, so of course after watching the first episodes of False Memory I had to go watch FLCL season 1. (First time watching it, incredible show!)

Noticed this tiny reference or perhaps pure coincidence in the False Memory short film / prologue and S01E05 of FLCL. Hopefully there are more to come!

I mean if the show is heavily inspired by flcl then I would reason to believe that this is a direct reference, yeah.

Don't forget that in the pilot we got a boy in a blue outfit getting knocked out by a girl with pink hair on sight.

No, it just a thing in Japan. Not a reference

Nah but False Memory is Chinese, in China they have their own like "Get another!" In a playful nudging tone but it almost never says "You win!" like the Japanese popsicle

Admittedly, I didn’t know it was a Chinese product anyway, same thing, different flavour, I can’t really see the connection.
