Anime Review:Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Yawn* Currently 3:45 A.M here and I'm writing a review(screw sleeping) Anyway I've been watching DOTSO(Read the title carefully) and i gotta say this anime is quite good,*CLAP* Well let's get this review over then!
Information On This Anime:
Title: Electromagnetic Wave Woman and Adolescent Man
Type: TV, Episodes 12
Year: 2011
Status: Complete
Summary:
The story revolves around a highschool boy named Niwa Makoto. He lives with his aunt’s family since his parents are away on business. It is there where he meets his mysterious cousin of the same age Touwa Erio — who happens to tie a futon mattress around her upper body and is a self-proclaimed alien. Her staple food is pizza. Erio had been missing for half a year and was found floating in the sea. She doesn’t remember anything about what happened during that period of time, but she began to think that it was the act of an alien and wanders the neighbourhood wrapped in the futon.

Genres: Comedy, Science fiction,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Few Words:
Damn,this anime made me look back at those days when i was watching TMOHS.Having a weird cast of characters and a normal main character.And also the uniqueness of the anime is awesome.

Although the characters are unique and awesome,The ending was quite b-a-d.Well it this anime didn't really have a LINEAR STORY,and the only change in the characters that i can see is Touwa Erio's change in episode 3,And from that point on the COMEDY begins.

Also the words Alien and Espers are back,but the alien part is from a self-proclaimed 16-year-old girl.And the esper part is from a kid who wears a freaking space suit,why you ask me? Well her reason was this
uhm...No i can't remember somewhere along the lines of this "My powers are being put in this suit" Damn,maybe that was wrong.Correct me if I'm wrong.Oh,by the way be sure of the massive MOE in this series,one episode made me "HNNNGGG" to my hearts content,SO BE READY!

Comments/Thoughts On This Anime:
1.Touwa Meme,Age 39 Looks like:A 20 year old.
-Also acts like a 6-year-old,and resembles a character from Toradora (Guess who it is)

2.I remember
-Boku wa tomodachi ga sakunai,The artwork heavily resembles that anime.I know i know,these two series were made by the same animators,Chillax i know that.

3.Touwa Erio (Episode 1)
-How do you use your head to hit exactly one button on a freaking remote?!

4.Remember how unique TMOHS was? (Which i stated earlier)
-I think we found a competitor to TMOHS

5.That main character (Episode 2)
-For a good long time,i wished for a main character to give a good enough answer when they are conversing about freaking ALIENS,And stuff that is beyond the real and the norm.And how the f*ck does he not get interested about that topic?!

6.You know that popular line? "Umi Da!" (Episode 2)
-who the hell gets excited about the sea?! unless you have a fetish for it or if you are a 8-year-old below or if you are going to a beach with awesome things to be seen.

7.Ryuu"KO" A.K.A Ryuu"SHI"
-That has got to be,the weirdest intro for a character ever.And also when she says youth i f*cking remember "Gai-sensei" from naruto.

8.Touwa Meme (Episode 3)
-Nosebleed?....no *holding my nose up* no not really! I'm fine.

9.That Cosplaying girl (Episode 4)
-(Somewhat Spoiling whats happening) How the hell did you get in the hospital with that eggplant suit on?!

10.Suddenly spouting an english sentence whilst in danger
-"I CAN'T FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!" *puts on fake moustache* Sir,you have won the "Priceless-line Award"

11.That space suit character (Episode 10)
-Well,her face was shown right off,but it would have been fun to guess it.But the face was already in the OP from the very start of the series,SO SCREW IT.

12.Shouting like that? (Episode 11)
-isn't that a little bit awkward to do in a gym court full of people? And now they are staring at you,only at YOU.

13.Maekawa's costume (Episode 10)
-Hey it's an alien! (NOTE:the alien from alien vs pred is what I'm talking about)

14.That smile at the beginning (Episode 5)
-Remember always enjoy the small things in life. (Although,sometimes i don't sometimes i do)

15.iPod Spotted (Episode 1)
-iT lOOKS lIKE tHE fIRST vERSION oF tHE iPOD (tHE fAT oNE)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ratings On This Anime:
1.Story 7/10 - Eerr,Did this anime really tell any story? oh it did.At the first half of the anime it did some background on the past of Touwa Erio as to why she is like that now.And then new characters come in,And then the "Slice Of Life-ish" style of story telling comes in,which means no story is being told.Now i feel obligated to slap wikipedia and myanimelist in the face for telling me that this is not a SOL genre anime.
(Just jokin,oh also I'm not saying that this anime is a SOL anime)

2.Artwork 9.6/10 - Well proportioned bodies,The colors,The Backgrounds,The ETC things in the background,The characters,somewhat they don't have that slight shadow they put on their noses when they face front.(another artwork uniqueness +1)

3.OP Song 10/10 - I really like this one,i know the vocals are not good but that is the point! really perfect theme for a series that is weird,unique, and wacky at the same time
   ED Song 10/10 - You know when i said that I'm not good with slow songs? well this ED song defied that the instant that this song played at the 1st episode,I instantly downloaded this thing throw it on my iPod then there you have it a song to listen to when you're bored.

4.Animation 9/10 - Another normal animation that you will expect for an anime.Smooth movements, and such.

5.Concept 9.9/10 - Well i did say it's unique right? Now that's all you need to know here.

6.Comedy in it 8.5/10 - It did make me laugh,but the comedies were on and off like my "LIFE" the jokes were too far apart to keep me laughing on and on

7.Fanservice 2/10 - A little bit of skin here and there is somewhat a fanservice right?.....

OP Song

ED Song
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So this anime?
Pass , Average , Fail
In terms of telling a straight line story the anime did not do well (I didn't even feel a story)
More like the anime was trying to be a SOL genre anime but without telling the people that.So that only left to expect a linear story from this one.
But like what i said the anime is funny,wacky,unique i give it that.Also this anime's ending was...i don't know was it a cliffhanger for the season 2? Anyway the ending wasn't that good.But I'm willing to throw those bad things off the table because you know what? at the end of the day the question is still this "Did the anime entertain you in any way?"

Yes,Yes it did.And that's what really matters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advised to:
1.People who love cuteness
2.People who want to have a laugh
3.People who want to get started in the anime world
4.People who love a good OP and ED (but is that really a reason to watch an anime?)
5.People who love beliefs in Aliens and Espers
6.People who love a plain somewhat plot-less anime
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What this anime has taught me:

I guess this anime definitely taught me how to feel the STORY of something.Because it felt like i was in a dark room with a flashlight the size of a pencil trying to search for the so called "STORY" which is non-existent. 

Also this anime taught me that even if the OP and ED songs has vocals that aren't good,It can still be good because of the word "APPROPRIATE" since it really fits in that hole made by that anime for the OP and ED
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some Pictures:















 Save the fanservice for last (O.o)
No wonder many people became otaku's
