Ep 2. Fista (Fire Starter)

Fooly Cooly season 1 episode 2, titled "Fista (Fire Starter)," follows the continuing adventures of Naota, a young boy who becomes embroiled in a world of strange and surreal happenings when an alien creature emerges from his forehead. In this episode, Naota begins to suspect that his crush Mamimi has been cheating on him with his older brother, Tasuku. Meanwhile, tensions continue to mount in the town as more and more bizarre creatures begin to appear.

As the episode begins, Naota is sulking at home when Mamimi stops by to visit. Despite his suspicions, he can't bring himself to confront her about Tasuku, and they end up spending the day together. While wandering through town, Naota spots a strange figure in the distance - a woman with fiery red hair who seems to be setting things ablaze wherever she goes.

As he and Mamimi follow her, they encounter a trio of punks who are harassing a group of kids. Naota tries to intervene, but the leader of the punks - a girl named Kana - challenges him to a fight. In the midst of their brawl, the "fire starter" reappears, setting Kana's hair ablaze and sending her running in terror.

As the chaos continues to spread, Naota finds himself increasingly drawn to the strange woman, who seems to be the key to unraveling the mysteries of the town. With the help of his friend Haruko - a mysterious woman who appears to be both a nurse and a space alien - Naota sets out to learn more about her and the other strange occurrences that have been plaguing the town.

As with the first episode, "Fista (Fire Starter)" is full of surreal imagery, fast-paced action, and a healthy dose of humor. The show's unique blend of sci-fi, coming-of-age drama, and absurdist comedy make it a must-watch for fans of anime and offbeat storytelling. Whether you're a newcomer to the genre or a seasoned veteran, Fooly Cooly offers something truly special and unforgettable.
