Denpa teki na Kanojo

Although it sat around my HD forever, Denpa Teki is really a nice little anime. It's biggest fault is that it appears to be on the same release schedule as Hellsing Ultimate, that being "maybe every few months, if we feel like it." I commend Denpa Teki for taking head in a relativity niche genre, and doing so in a much more realistic way than it's predecessors.

Story; 8. While there remains little uncharted territory for the yandere/yangire niche of psychological thrillers, Denpa Teki reminds us that it is not always best to follow instinct. The plotting of this OVA series is properly paced, and most notable for it's M. Night Shyamalan twist at the end. And the end, on that note, is very good. Possibly one of my favorite endings in months. Although the remaining episode remains to be seen, as it stands now, I am very pleased with the story, my lone complaint being typical of a series this short anyways; characterization. While a few characters are developed well, the male lead needs to be fleshed out further.

Art; 8. The art style was unique, and not without it's faults. The landscapes are very well put together. There is a distinctly urban look, and especially in the night scenes, the landscapes are convincing and a genuine visual treat. The characters are drawn well, however I found that the style varied from character to character. There were a few shoddily done scenes, but they were quick and outside of this, mostly all other visual bases were covered. Character movement was also very fluid, which can be a huge problem in some series.

Sound; 8. Subtlety is key here, and Denpa Teki is a prime example of the advantages to sometimes having a very minimal soundtrack. The few instrumental pieces played thought are moody and fitting, and in scenes where one would expect a poorly placed, cheesy bgm reel, I am treated to sweet silence. Being able to focus on character dialogue was great, however I had to dock it a few points for the ending theme. Ack. Not good.

Character; 8. Given it's length, this isn't a very in depth area to review. The two main females are well done, and interesting. The male lead leaves a bit to be desired, however he is not terribly underdeveloped.

Enjoyment/overall; 8. For what it is, Denpa Teki is a standalone series in the realism of it's characters and setting. Though characterization becomes tricky due to it's length, the fun twist and bittersweet (though mainly sweet) ending make it something I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a solid, satisfying slice of mentally unstable girls. read more

This anime was good, it was interesting, it was enticing it was.... just brilliant. The story centres on a high school deliquent Juuzawa Juu, who is a lone wolf at his school. Who is then followed by Ochibana Ame who has claimed she was his most trusted knight or general in his previous life which he was her King.

The story then moves on from her following him day after day from school, but also begins to stalk him. Juuzawa finds her irritating and begins to try to get rid of her. But at the same time there have been mysterious and brutal executions of random civilians.

The story contains alot of psycological issues that people learn to face, or even break due to pressure or just sudden realisation.

The action in this anime is also rather decent, and is enjoyable to watch.

The voice acting is brilliant and the choice of actors aswell.

I enjoyed that alot and fine it interesting to watch.

I hope you do too. read more
