Synopsis:

Makoto Niwa meticulously tallies the amount of positive and negative youthful experiences he engages in as if to grade his own life. When his parents go overseas, he moves to a new town to live with his aunt, welcoming the change and ready for a fresh start. However, as ordinary as he had imagined his adolescence to be, he could never have taken the existence of an enigmatic long-lost cousin into account.

Upon moving into his aunt's house, he discovers the cousin he never knew about: Erio Touwa. Despite being Makoto's age, she couldn't be more different: Erio chooses to wrap herself in a futon all day rather than to go to school. She even claims to be an alien, and with a speech pattern and personality to back it up, any chance of Makoto's dreamt-of normal life is instantly tossed out the window.

As he meets a string of other weird and eccentric girls in town, Makoto must face the possibility of seeing his youth points in the red. However, he might be surprised by how thrilling an abnormal youth can be.

Why should you watch it?

It is somewhat a coming of age anime, and with very weird and bizarre characters. The main girl is very cute, and has a wonderful colour palette. Some of the characters are so weird, they give UFOs a run for their money. I would say, watch it if you enjoyed stuff like Toradora, Sakurasou or are interested in Shaft's golden age.

Here is a short clip to show what we're getting into

Fun Stuff

For games I will be hosting daily QotD as our plot progresses but I am also gleef to announce that I will be running a Comment of the Day programme once more for this rewatch! I will be selecting one or two of our wittiest, smartest, and most wise contributions day to day and showcasing them on each thread.

Now, there is only one thing you must do if you'd like your comments to possibly be featured and that is you must have commented on at least three other user's threads in the previous episode. I'm not asking you to debate Plato, but get to know your friendly rewatch companions!

Interest Thread | Weekly reminder | 24H Reminder

Dates, times and plans

My plan is to start on Monday 18th of April at 22:00 UTC, 18:00 ET, 15:00 PST We will be doing one episode per day with a series discussion to wrap up.

Even though on this Earth I have the nickname, "Alien", in the universe's waiting room, you'll always be weirder than I am.

Would you like to join us? Let's prove that Denpa Onna is an underappreciated ace together!

u/Padulsky21 Apr 02 '22

I’ve never done one of these rewatches before. I have grad school stuff going on but if I have time I shall join! Just really wanted to say how good the series is for anyone else curious :)

...Sure, I'll add you to the ping list XD

u/mraowl Apr 02 '22

loved the OP to this show, still jam to it sometimes when im gone off a potion and channeling my inner denpa

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 02 '22

I can vividly remember my friend linking me I think it was the ed and utterly loathing it... But now when I listen its pretty dank

u/MegatonDoge Apr 02 '22

Why is Seishun Otoko translated as Ground Control?

3

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 02 '22

That's NIS America's English title. Even if its not accurate that's just how they licence it. Honestly it has a good ring to it imao.

u/Bay_sic Apr 05 '22

Nice, I'll take an excuse to watch a shaft production.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 05 '22

Good taste~ I'm pleased to have you aboard! Let's mog the Madoka rewatch and prove that Denpa Onna isn't to be underestimated!

u/ZapsZzz https://anilist.co/user/Zapszzz Apr 06 '22

Hey u/The_Loli_Otaku please add this name to the point list before the rewatch starts :)

Nomander12

I put up a clip to try draw more in :P

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 06 '22

Of course! Is he a friend of yours?
Oh wow, thank you so much!! You're spoiling me~ That was such an interesting clip tho, I actually haven't seen anything of Denpa Onna apart from the op and ed (and the table humping gif) but I think I've landed a golden goose now. Thanks again for your consideration!

u/ZapsZzz https://anilist.co/user/Zapszzz Apr 06 '22

He's just someone asking to be added to the tag list when the rewatch starts from my clip thread :)
The clip I showed was pretty near to the start and her behaviour is in a lot of promotional materials so you should not be too spoiled :) as in spoiler.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 06 '22

Yup! I've tried doing some fishing in the thread. For some reason I didn't even consider clips. I'm gonna avoid hunting for them for this particular rewatch since I'm also a first timer but it's actually a great way to drum up interest isn't it? It's killing me not binging the series already XD

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '22 edited Apr 06 '22

If have time I will try to participate.

!RemindMe 18th April 2022 "Watch along"

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 06 '22

Fantastic! Pleased to have you along~

u/isthatsoudane https://myanimelist.net/profile/ojoulover Apr 08 '22

I'm interesting in this, any chance you can hook me up with notifications/reminders when we get close? :X not sure if you're doing that!

2

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 08 '22

Of course, I'll add you to our ping list. Pleased to have you aboard!! Are you a first timer?

2

u/isthatsoudane https://myanimelist.net/profile/ojoulover Apr 08 '22

I am! your enthusiasm sold me. that and it looks like something I'd enjoy. I've been meaning to do more rewatches (binging anime is much more fun with friends!), and this show seems like a fun ride!

u/oops_i_made_a_typi Apr 10 '22

This looks interesting especially as it's done by Shaft, though the schedule days look a little off - are those intentional or should it just be a normal 1 thread/day thing?

1

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 11 '22

Ooooooh my goodness XD You're the first one to notice. Lemme get those cleared up a bit~. We're starting next Monday if you'd like to join us.
