The whole Elliot thing is most likely another "ET" reference, methinks.

quick question for those who may know but is the novel released out of chronological order? I was at kinokunia the other day and I saw the novels there. I opened up vol 8 and inside the colored images one of them showed of the MC and the girl going down hill from episode 3. This is kinda confusing ma and would like some clarification.

That was such a marvelous episode once again. DenpaOnna is definitely one of my favorite anime this season. This is the kind of comedy I love: a bit weird and full of moe girls (even Meme is moe! There, I said it).

Maekawa's coplay killed me. In one of his earlier delusions, Makoto imagined her cosplaying as a nurse, and that's exactly what she did.. in her twisted way
The fridge gag was also hilarious. Meme is so crazy. Her change isn't very noticeable, but I think she's gotten more cheerful now that Erio's back to normal (as normal as normal can be when you have a mother like this).

As always, Erio was stunningly beautiful. Oh my, that white one piece dress <33 (and those pink panties...). For some reason, the whole living with your hot (blue haired) single aunt and your cousin set-up reminds me of Kanon - the Akiko-san to Issho doujin series to be exact. I agree Makoto should just give in already!

It's a bit of an unconventional series, so it's not surprising it doesn't appeal to everybody.

An egg, maybe? By the way, the store owner was hot too. Even the minor characters are amazingly pretty in this series.

The delusions were funny. I was so sure that it was Erio under the blanket but it was Meme instead

Still wondering why Erio didn't went to visit him. Was it because she was a hikikomori or something else? Anyone?

Sakuga was quite bad in this episode. Godly character design + drawings were good enough to cover everything else, though. That's the sole reason for watching this.

This is the most pure, simple fun anime I've watched in a long time.

It's just so quirky, endearing, and moe, but it also flows in a captivating way that feels like a real story.

Not that these characters are realistic, but it just doesn't matter here.

SHAFT captures dreamy yet engaging surrealism better than any other anime studio out there right now, and hence if you want an anime that's enchantingly escapist entertainment, yet also intellectually stimulating (largely due to the excellent dialogue and narration), look no further than Denpa Onna.


Between this, and Madoka Magica, SHAFT is having a simply awesome 2011 so far.

Ah~ Meme. She puts the 'M' in both 'moe' and 'milf' at the same time. I really don't know how long I'd be able to resist her throwing herself at me constantly... I bet she's a black belt in judo, akkidio, shorinryu and shotokan karate. She's certainly energetic enough.

The Quality finally caught up with this series. Very painful to watch, thankfully characters save the show.

Spoiler for episode 4:


I disagree about giving in to Meme. Let her roast a bit more. Besides she most likely reverse to normal adult and tell Makoto to behave or she will be forced to make him leave the house.
I'm waiting my Summer Wars and Stoshi Kon movies references!

More moe overload. My brain can't process all of it!! But yeah, excellent stuff. Everything has been said.

I do have one question... why was he in the hospital for two weeks because of a simple broken arm? Is this a Japan or anime thing??

I see what you mean. But I just don't care. One of Shaft/Shinbou's secrets is that they know where to concentrate, where to skimp, and how to distract our attention from the skimping. Despite some inconsistent drawing, there was so much win in in the imagery that it just didn't matter at all to me. The characters were still themselves. I see a lot worse pretty well every season.

It can be an "ET" reference and still actually refer to Erio's father, of course.
