Naota Nanbada is a boring young boy who leads a boring life in a boring town. His older brother has left for America, and the closest he comes to any excitement is when his deadbeat dad has too much sake. But things change one day when a bizarre girl zooms up to him on a scooter and smacks him in the face with her guitar. What's more, once Naoto returns home he discovers that this strange woman has arrived ahead of him and moved in! Not only does she constantly engage in perverted activities with Naota's father and flirt with the young man himself, but she also claims to be an alien who is searching for the ‘Pirate King.' Now, Naota must learn to live with this new intruder, deal with an odd government agent who sports exceptionally large eyebrows and the mysterious Medical Mechanica, and come to terms with the fact that there are a variety of robots and weapons emerging out of his head - amongst other things. Perhaps boring wasn't so bad after all...
These are similar in their fast pacing, crazy action scenes and animation style.
FLCL is by far superiour to Dead Leaves. The latter will often use shock value for the sake of shock value but the action scenes alone are enough to warrant a look.
Both Dead Leaves and FLCL are incredibly crazy series. The art style differs greatly but they are both are fast paced and some times confusing. They also have that same sort of humor, if you liked one check out the other.
Craziness runs rampent as space outlaws run wild. Both these anime are wild, silly, and just a bit promiscurous. Each has a large amount of laughs as well as some great fights. They both even have, yes it's true, TV-headed sidekicks.
Both have a weird funky feel and wacky story line. There is an odd spacy edge to each of these. FLCL has a slight more seriousness then Dead Leaves which tries more to be crazzy. If you liked one, in my opinion you should check out the other.
OH THE INSANITY!!!!
These are the most random anime I have ever seen. The stedaly moving plot twists have you thinking 'WTF?!' Dead Leaves and FLCL have original music that matches the scenes perfectly. They are not that long; so if you don't have much time before bed it's perfect. I know if you love random Mindf**k animes you'll love these two.
Both are extreamly weird, have a quite unusual/unique animation style, and have lots of randomness at every turn. If you liked one you should like the other. Leave your brain turned off.
FLCL and Dead Leaves are similar in animation and the exaggerated story and fast paced action that it holds. They both also use alot of humor, but one thing that is different from FLCL and Dead Leaves is the depth in story since FLCL is spread across 6 eps. while Dead Leaves is just one OVA.
Obviously if you enjoy either of these fantastically random enigmas, you have a thing for nonsense, and i'm sure you're wondering where to go more. If that's the case, you'll love both of these shows.
Crazy. Maddness. Random. Those are things these two have in common. You won't truly understand what's going on until the near end and even then you still don't truly understand. They both have great scenes that'll make you ask yourself, what?
I didn't think I'd find something as intensely nuts as FLCL until I watched Dead Leaves. Both have over-the-top, cartoonish, crude violence sprinkled with vulgar innuendo with a basic framework of a story to keep it all together.
same fast story line and style, dead leaves is even more wicked than FLCL
there also both from the same Director Imaishi Hiroyuki
Dead Leaves is FLCL with 3/4ths the plot, every character is Haruko on crack and it's at twice the speed. Still really fun to watch and if you like the zaniness of FLCL you'll really like Dead Leaves and vice versa.
From the mind of Koji Morimoto, assistant animator of Akira and director of Magnetic Rose, comes Noiseman Sound Insect, a short and very abstract 15 minute OVA. In the town of Cahmphon, an experiment of Dr. Franken's goes terribly wrong, creating a monster called Noiseman. Under heavy oppression, a group of young people rebel against this creation, to save the town, and the sound from being literally vacuumed away.
Both Noiseman Sound Insect and Dead Leaves may differ at first glance but they are actually similar. They are both short titles which have an extremely fast pace, a unique art style, and almost non-stop action.

Mifune Densuke wasn’t anything special in the prestigious Zashono Academy. That is, until he was selected to be a member of club Eiken – a group with the most overly-voluptuous female members of the school. Instantly falling for the charming, intelligent and curvaceous Chiharu, Mifune frequently finds himself in embarrassingly compromising situations with the object of his affections. As an innocent school competition commences, the club find themselves swimsuit bungee jumping, riding a yogurt slide and performing fellatio on some bananas – all in the good name of Eiken!
The weireness never lets up. They never stop the story to let you rest. Both are grear for multiple veiws they never get old
The Chrono Trigger OVA is a 16 minute promotional clip, which was never released on any sort of video -- rather, it was played in select anime cons. The clip focuses on monsters of the CT world enjoying the Millenial Fair. Fans of CT will enjoy the inside jokes and music ported from the game.
Chrono Trigger and Dead Leaves have many things in common. One thing is that they are funny in a crazy way. Another thing is that they are both very short. If you have a small amount of time on your hands and you like comedy, you should see them both.
