add recExtra and Jigen Loop are both wacky displays of randomness, produced by the always-awesome Studio 4C. If you liked the short, music-filled sci fi backdrop of one, you'd probably like the other.
Both Extra and Jigen Loop have a sort of surreal feeling matched with suiting music. Extra is more break-neck and exciting while Loop is more subtle and creepy, if you like one you'll probably like the other.
FLCL
Alt titles: Furi Kuri
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...

add recAlthough Jigen Loop is essentially a music video, compared with the longer episodes of FLCL, you will be left with a lingering sensation of "WTF?" after both of them.
Strange creatures and robots abound in both, the animation is excellent in both. If you enjoy FLCL, you should at least try Jigen Loop, if not the rest of the Studio 4C shorts as they all have the same mad-cap feel to them.
