(L) Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko

[Kaoru Chujo]

Now that we have a couple more characters, I have made a characters/seiyuus page for this show, with pics of the characters and their seiyuus, and some info about each seiyuu.

Iguchi Yuka (Index) has not shown up yet, but we already have Nonaka Ai (Kafuka, Fuuka, Iriya) playing Meme and the wonderful Katou Emiri as Ryuuko. Emirin (Kagami, Hideyoshi, Kyuube, etc.) really seems to be hitting her stride as a seiyuu.

[Texas84]

Love this. The girls are super cute and super insane. Nice change of pace after Madoka Magica and Ano Hi Mita Hana episode 2.

[DragoZERO]

Oh man, that was an awesome second episode. I think I 'hhnngghhh' so much I almost died.

And there is no denying the ET reference anymore, lol.

And thanks to someone spoiling me, I am seeing through some of the metaphors in Erio's lingo already. Kind of a shame.

[Shimapan]

Second episode was interesting. First Niwa has a lolwtf discussion with Erio, then he meets some girls - first safety helmet girl, then sandwich suit girl, both of which are a little denpa themselves
Curious to see whow his relationshipt with the girls will develop.
Then there's an excursion at night to the sea, during which Erio almost drowns, but Niwa saves her. Finally we get to know Erio's sad background.

That's a good question to which I really would like the answer myself
I just found the pic on the interweb, without any indication where it's from, not even the girl's name

No, that's only if a fansub has been picked up by Crunchytroll, or has been licensed, neither of which is the case here.

Unbelievable.

He had a carry-over of -10 from last week, so -4 is already an improvement over that.

I still think Niwa is quite a bland main lead.

I means he's OK for a normal harem series, but the cuter the girls are, the more awesome the guy have to be, to avoid backslash. And so far he's quite average

For my part I totally disagree with that. I find him to be one of the more interesting male leads of late. He has an interestingly skewed and odd way of looking at things, and his reactions to the weirdness around him have generally been both entertaining and sensible. It's Erio who really isn't working for me so far.

Yeah, the E.T. references are beyond obvious, so should we wait for any finger touching moment any time soon? Also, there's the fact that Erio Touwa's initial is also E.T...

[Pocari_Sweat]

Is it just me, or was there quite a few innuendos in ep2. Nude "head", "pedal slow/fast" etc. Or do I just have perverted mind?

EDIT: After watching the full ep, it seemed like I was watching a more juvenile, "cute" version of Bakemonogatari. The camera shots, the dialogue, the sexual jokes, the fanservice, the weirdness... it all gave me a similar vibe.

Damn you, now I can't see that scene as anything but verbal foreplay!!!

[Marcus H.]

I suspect that Makoto was stimulated by the genki girl.

You just have a perverted mind. But now i'm curious on what is going on in your head when you mentioned those

[Itlandm]

OK, we've seen Erio roll herself into the futon. But if there are no aliens, who ties the strings and knots?

Good point, didn’t notice that until now. I guess her doing them with her legs is out of the question?

[brocko]

Things like telepathy is trivial business for Erio. Erio's obviously capable of extraterrestrial powers beyond our wildest of imaginations so common tasks such as tieing herself up in a futon must be even more trivival. Of course she can only unlock these powers when no one else is present, the only sole drawback of such powerful abilities

But onto less joking matters, i assume she starts the process around her waist/lower body leaving her arms and hands free to tie the string. After that it's just a simple matter of sliding it up to cover her upper body or her sliding into it lower, however way you may want to look at it lol. Either that or she may have another set of invisible arms much like some other mis-treated yet violent alien race that we might know of

I'm inclined to agree with risingstar here. The potential pervertedness flew way over my head until i stuck my neck up in this thread

I thought her mother did it every morning.

I didn't quite catch it either. I think I was in too much shock from moe overload. But there are a ton of double entendres here, my bet is that was one too.

[felix]

Technically it should be possible to wrap the futon, then tie it up, and then get in it.

[broken270]

Spoiler:

It is hard trying to interact seriously when your cousin thinks she is an alien sent to monitor the earth and uses a futon to hide herself from other aliens. Even more so, she spouts up random information that you have no interest in/about whatsoever. Keep figuring her out, Makoto. Talking sense does not seem to be working, but it just might work.

Makoto meets two girls who are quite oddballs themselves. One is Ryuuko, a genki kind of person. Her hands are busy with holding the bike, so decides to use her mouth to read his map. She wans to be a tropical girl, so she eats fruits instead of other things? Apparently, Erio was the one who called her Ryuushi, and people started to stick with that. That was before she disappeared. Why do I have a feeling she is not in the drama club or the basketball club?The other girl is Maekawa, a tall one who apparently cannot last ten seconds if her hands were above her head. Apparently, she sometimes wears costumes at night for the fun of it. So not know much about that.

Does Erio not like being out or what? That was the second time she was cleaned, yet she still wishes to be in the futon. Darn it, she needs to be out more. She has such a cute face and beautiful body, but it is wasted by her thinking. Well, at least the two of them went to the sea, something that Makoto has not experienced yet. Well, it was only for a few seconds, since she almost drowned herself there. So, she has been missing for the past six months and was found floating in the ocean. I cannot hep but feel slightly sorry for her now. Having been missing for that long, and then coming back saying she is an alien, something pretty traumatic must have happened to her that made her want to forget all of that and come to that conclusion about herself. A few more episodes are needed to confirm this.

[Sackett]

Now we have met some of his classmates I have come to the following conclusion:

They are all aliens.

Everyone is an alien.

[Deconstructor]

Episode 2 loses some of the instantaneous appeal of episode 1, but still delivers funny situations with our dear Erio. The opening scene between Erio and Makoto is kind of cute. I also picked up upon the various sexual hints dropped by our horny main character Makoto... and I wish I hadn't. Interestingly, the girls are the ones blushing. Makoto seems to enjoy their company, but has little romantic interest in his female classmates and his interstellar cousin. For some reason, I enjoy whenever Erio and Makoto talk to each other. They're slowly developing the one true pairing bond.

Sandwich girl is awesome. The randomly included butt shots were pure Shaft. Why she even wears that outfit is a question best left unanswered... the viewers should simply conclude the entire town is full of weirdos. Of course, none weirder than beautiful Erio.

Internally I'm having a conflict between believing whether Erio actually got abducted by aliens or not. The viewers have little evidence to support Erio's own story; no one else believes her, and Erio can't really fly as she claims. Logically, Erio seems to be a shell-shocked kidnappee who uses her own childhood dreams to cope with the half a year away from town. Yet despite all the overwhelming realism, I'm inclined to go fantasy. I'd like to believe Erio actually got turned into a half-alien. It's the only way I can find an explanation for Erio's sheer beauty...

[Kanon]

Huhu, this is Arakawa all over again. Logic dictates Erio is a human who wents nuts after undergoing a traumatic experience, and yet since this is anime, we can't throw the possiblity she's an alien out of the window. Furthermore, I think that deep down we want her to be an alien, as it would make her behavior plain funny rather than funny and sad.

Personally, after hearing Meme's story in episode 2, I'm convinced she's just a normal girl. Wait, that's not accurate. It think she's a very abnormal girl (her beauty alone is out of this world) that is still human nonetheless.
