Conclusion: Nobody is normal in this series except Makoto and Meme.

Ryuuko is so cute and happy-go-lucky

I don't think that really explains why she has that mattress around her. She wanted to prove that she can fly, but it failed,so now she wraps a mattress around herself. Yea, I don't really get it.

More weird girls pop up. Ryuuko looks to be the most normal one of the three so far. At least Makoto's puberty meter is slowly going towards the positive side.

Heathen! That ED was/is amazing. I love the new animation for it, too. ET-centered FTW!

Erio giving directions was so freaking cute!
Left-o side-o! Re-right-o! Sunny side-o upu~!

Moe aside, I think this show might somehow turn more dramatic later on. I don't know, it just gives off a certain seriousness amidst all the randomness. And is this turning into a harem? So many girls and only one guy. If it does, this looks like it will be one of the few harems I won't hate. So far the only female character I don't completely adore os Ryuushi, but she's all right just the same. Erio is gorgeous, Maekawa is interesting, and the aunt is like watching Kyouko in another universe. I couldn't ask for more. (Or could I get away with that? Ahaha!)

Unique dialogue: +1
Likable characters: +1
Possibility of seriousness: +2
Male lead's fantasies: -1
Great ending song: +1
Freaking PIZZA: OVER NINE THOU- Okay, just +5 :P

It's called secluding one self aka building a wall around yourself. Well this is the literal representation of such.

I like how Erio seems to shine every screen time she gets it's like shes a fricken alien goddess

Mifune has a cute voice, but just rofl at that yellow helmet.

lol Chibi!

I like Maekawa's outfit. its like a big fat chocolate sandwhich bar thingy.

Wouldn't call her that. I think she was hurt at some point due to the fact that nobody seemed to believe her. That's why she went to the extremes of prooving that she could fly with the whole bike thing. Poor girl.

This is just ShafT-ing. But it sure is cool to see Bakemonogatari male main character and secondary female characters, Arakawa under the Bridge female main character and comedy and a little bit(more) of Mahou Shoujo Madoka visuals. Overall it feel great xD

So, Erio is not even alien. She is just a bit crazy. Not sure what the hack she did for half a year of disappearance. Nevertheless, this is one of the better shows that Shaft produced since Bakemonogatari Era.

Loving animations so far. Character design is just god damn cute! It overkills Hana-saku for me. Plus, ED animation changed, which was delicious.

You don't even need to listen to what she says. It's all useless babbling most of the time, anyway. Some bits are pretty funny, though.

Two words: Tatami Galaxy.

~~

Admittedly, I actually really like Makoto--probably because I see a lot of myself in him. Not to mention, despite the fact that nearly the entire cast is full of looneys, they're FAR too likable to pass-up~ >w<

Also, I couldn't help but get a kick out of whenever Makoto wiped Erio's face~ =u=

Hehe, he got to know two weird girls in addition to the one he's living with. This show is pretty random. Erio lost her memories and therefore makes up being an alien? We'll see how this turns out. xD

At one point I almost believed she was an alien. However, her trying to fly and having an accident was unexpected. She's secluding herself, and hopefully they'll reveal what happened to her during the time she was missing. Anyways Erio is really adorable and I really like it when they make her shine like that.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

I guess she feels protected with the futon in a way, maybe she does it unconsciously?
like Kiri, she covers herself with a futon all the time, so yeah..
anyways this episode was nice c:

I noticed that Shaft has some different styles, One of them have they used for example on Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Maria Holic. And Denpa Onna is more like the style used for Bakamonogatari, Arakawa Under the Bridge and a little bit on ef. I'm not just talking about animation, but also about the story and how the conversations are. Overall the conversations are much too complicated, but that's how Shaft has always been and will be.

That ET reference in the ending was pretty funny though. It's pretty weird that there are so many ET references this season. In Hen Zemi was a scene of a few seconds with the bike and the moon, and in Nichijou did Mio talk like ET, although I don't know if the last one was really a reference or not.

OI Erio watched too much E.T. XDD

Anyway, I still don't get what this show is all about though I sense some serious plot or whatsoever later on. I couldn't even say if this is supernatural or real. I believe that there are some extraterrestrial beings in there but at the same time I don't XDDD Well, I'll just wait to see more.

Dammit I'm officially a legs-con XDD DEM LEGS XDD

PS: The OP is stuck on my brain... My brain rejects it but I can't stop listening to this OTL
