Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko

When I first read through the preview image of the anime titles airing in Spring 2011, Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko did not catch my attention. Its storyline revolves around Niwa Makoto, who meets his female cousin, Touwa Erio, a self-proclaimed alien who ties a futon around herself (at least at the start of the series). How will life for Niwa Makoto change as he gets to know more about his cousin and that of aliens?

It was the beautiful artwork of a poster found within the latest issue of Megami magazine which made me curious about Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko. Personally, I have never been a fan of the science-fiction genre, but the beautiful artwork and animation could possibly change my mind.

Here are some images I managed to obtain from other sites, with the first image being the poster I mentioned earlier:



An interesting PV:



Not forgetting the official anime website:

Scheduled for airing on 14 Apr 2011, has Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko piqued the curiosity of anyone else?

I'm a SHAFT studio fanboy, so the chances are pretty much 100% that I will be watching this.

A trailer with animated footage has emerged:

(Click on the picture and then a video window will open)

After seeing that, I'm even more excited.

I am excited after watching Madoka Magica...but I don't think this series will be as dark. Still looking forward :)

Stop saying that "SHAFT = Dark stories."

the Main story of Madoka was made by Gen Urobuchi, creator of SAya no Uta, and Fate/Zero.

Bakemonogatari by Nisiosin, creator of Manga Medaka Box.

Zetzubo Sensei by Koiji Kumeta.

NEGIMA?! by Ken Akamatsu Who did Love Hina.

While Denpa Onna was created by Hitoma Iruma.

SHAFT is only responsible for the adaptation. Seriously people need to stop glorifying SHAFT for the story.

Praise them for their good animation. Not the Story.

Let's celebrate the fact that there's only a week or so until the first episode broadcast with some (really badly taken pictures of) head tilting.


This is already looking to be a great show.

First episode out and waiting. Darn, have to watch it tomorrow after classes. And like Kai stated, not all SHAFT productions are "dark" or "dark theme". They are just the animator studio for the stories, not the writers of the original work. They also do more light-hearted series with nearly the same style per animation. Check out Hidamari Sketch if you don't believe me...

First episode was pretty good and strange.

Yeah, I agree.

Very enjoyable, but I'll be completely honest and say that it was weird.

Oh god the OP made me laugh so freaking hard xD I seriously can't tell if it's a joke or not.

As people have mentioned before, this was very strange. I don't know if I want to see the next episode ._.

Can't stop listening to it.


IMO this , and Nichijou's OPs are the best i've seen.

^ This. I'm not sure, but I can tell I'm already going to like this anime. I hope, lol. Well, at least I got my laugh for today. :D

Oh fuck, why are the women so adorable and stunning. The aunt is 39 damn it, her looks are criminal! Then we have our futon dazzling blue haired alien, with a huge overdose of her thighs and feet, TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE!

God damn I really liked this, I was a bit on the fence about the premise but the character's really pulled me in and like a lot of SHAFT's shows they will probably be it's driving force (not that it's a bad thing.)

Not sure if they're going for romance or comedy or maybe a mixture. Either way I really enjoyed it and can't wait for some more crazy Touwa Erio. I MEAN LOOK AT THOSE FUCKING LEGS

Indeed. Shaft is like Kyoani, known for their adaptations, while anything they write in-house gets completely ignored (for good reason, I think).

Episode 1:

AGREE!
2 things that make me HHHHNNNGGGHHH!!!!!:
-DAT DEM LEGS!
-MEME!!!!!(especially when she's blinking because it makes me got instant overdose of HHHHNNNNGGGG!!!!!).

Great animation, very interesting characters, interesting plot, and funny. I shall continue to watch...

yeah pretty much what i said...I shall keep watching as well
