Spoilers for the episode follow.
The slow burn stylings of FLCL: Alternative continue with “Freestyle Collection.” Following the blueprint laid out by the previous episode, Freestyle Collection takes a closer look at Mossan through the lens of Kana’s constant struggle with her future prospects.
The episode kicks off when Kana, having not turned in her college planning sheet, inquires about what Mossan wrote down for hers. Mossan tells her friends about her dream of being a fashion designer and reveals she has made it through the first round of a fashion design contest. Unlike Hijiri’s fling from the last episode, which felt a little par for her character, Mossan’s reveal was actually a surprise to me and had me interested from the start. Mossan’s reveal also provided a great opportunity to add to Kana’s maturity crisis which has become one of the show’s main threads.
