Anime/Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko

It just, I don't know. I should hate it but I find it oddly likeable.

Why should you hate it? I find it rather likable, if appropriately odd.

I like a comment I read on one posting of the OP: "I love how the first thing everyone tells you when you mention liking this song is that they hate it. And that they can't stop listening to it."

Because of the somewhat annoying voice doing the singing?

But yeah, even though I'm supposed to dislike it as well, I find it strangely likeable.

Episode 4

Broken arm!

A breakdown of the Adolescence Points, and how they are awarded. He's put too much thought into this. Also it annoys me that Meme events are negatives. WTF man?!

Anyway, he got hospital visits from Meme, Ryuushi and Maekawa, and all were quite amusing.

But it all paled before his reunion with Erio after he was discharged, which was absolutely perfect. Fantastic scene. And you can really tell that Erio is Meme's daughter, especially when Erio smiles.

They're adolescence points. The more...mature the event he experiences/performs the more he "grows up," and thus loses points.

Meh.

I agree.

^I'm not sure that's it. The adolescence points are there to keep track of how enjoyable your adolescence was, not how close it is to ending, after all. It's more like... yeah, Meme's an attractive woman, but she's also his aunt. Kissing Cousins is fine in Japan; a relationship with one's aunt, not so much.

Might be both, he loses a point every day in addition to the above afterall.

^If he wants to have twenty by the end of high school, the rate of decline can't be that fast... though I guess two-point events don't happen very often and one-point events are fairly common things, so that makes sense.

...Incidentally, now we're putting too much thought into it. But it's fun.

Any further developments on the UW-Commie/Mazui debate in this episode, you think?

Denpa's on my watch ASAP list, so its generally just whoever releases first.

Hey if it ain't worth arguing over, it just ain't worth it

I'm not sure which sub I'm watching, though whomever it is they are doing a good job.

Wow that episode went by fast. I thought it was about halfway and then it ended. That's usually a good sign.

I'm still kind of wondering why Ryuushi latched onto him though.

I guess because Makoto's a fairly charming guy?

I meant before that. She's gone out of her way to hang out with him as much as possible immediately after meeting him. Before she had the chance to get to know him. By contrast Maekawa met with him coincidentally a few times leading to chats. That feels much more natural to me. Not that there's anything wrong with unnatural, I just feel like she must have some kind of deeper reason to want to be instant friends with a transfer student.

She might've just found him interesting, or thought he looked like a cool guy and wanted to get to know him. I really don't think Maekawa should be used as a standard for normalcy, by the way. =)

Eh, I just think such an action says something about her that we may or may not see more of in the future.

That was an incredibly cute and fun episode. I loved the moment where Makoto decides to close the fridge door on his aunt.

I really like this whole show. It seems to have found a perfect balance that makes me tolerate the over-the-top cuteness that seems so annoyingly prevailing in other shows. Despite everything being so completely out there, it still retains a certain subtlety that is really hard to put in word but makes the show just that damm good.

Dammit, SHAFT. Release a few DVD's over here and take my money!

GD wanted to grab the new ep but Tokyo tosho is down Bah.

Now why didn't I think of adolescence points when I was in high school? Though I'd have lots of +5 just because I watched a load of good anime.

fuck you makoto

Wow this CG looks so obvious◊ I wish it was the page image for Conspicuous CG.

I've seen much worse

With the animated part being obvious in the same image?

Yes. Honestly, the main thing that makes the car stick out in that image is that the composition draws the eye to it. They did a pretty good job with the colours and lighting
