Heaven knows how I manage to come across this, or why I'm even speaking about it, but this post just proves that one could make an anime out of anything these days. Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko is such an example, and honestly, I thought it was just a mere doujinshi series, but it turns out that this was made from a light novel, only being turned into an anime earlier this year.
The character of focus is Makoto Niwa, a disbeliever in anything supernatural (much like Kyon from Haruhi Suzumiya series) Sadly, much like Kyon, he is forced to deal with such ideals, thanks to a rather eccentric girl who was initially wrapped in a futon (a freakin' futon!), revealed to be his first cousin Erio Towa. Introducing her to him is her mother and Makoto's aunt, Meme Towa. It's early when he learns about her eccentricity, with claims from Erio herself that she's an extraterrestrial lifeform. This just adds to her weirdness, aside from having no memories from half a year ago. Between his crazy aunt, hanging around Erio, and dealing with unique people, he is going to have quite the life in this new town as a transfer student.
I'll put it like this: if you weren't that much of a fan of Haruhi Suzumiya, chances are you won't find this eyecatching either. As I said before, the anime is quite young, being created April of this year. It premiered on the TBS network in Japan, so with those two facts, it's obvious that this has yet to see licensing for the US, which means it's too early to find English voices. It's 12 episodes long, and it's run is pretty much concluded. Chances are, like with others of the sort, the manga takes another turn.
The music is okay, but honestly... I'm at a loss as to how I feel about this anime. Not that it's bad, just... odd. I still give Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko a pretty decent 7.0 of 10, despite its short length and weirdness.
