I'm not saying it was aliens... But it was aliens. That is quite possibly the best description I can come up with when trying to explain this anime in once sentence. Shaft have a habit of either making an anime with many eyebrow raising points or one with cute but crude humor. In this they found a nice blend point that make you question what the hell did they make.

Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko has a story around the daily adolescent life of one boy and his high school life in a city well knows for alien encounters. It seems a typical slice of life story with an added harem for amusement purposes. Playing through, it seems to have two arcs. The first arc being the confrontation with the cousin Erio and the second arc being the mystery of a self proclaimed esper alien.

Art is very pleasing to the eye but occasionally over done with sparkle effects and wind motion effects that are entirely un-needed. The colour of every thing is very similar apart from some scenery items that that tend to stand out in large amount of detail.

Sounds for standing objects and doors, etc. are fairly good with even muffled thump sounds for a futon hitting the floor. It's really thought out well. As for background music most of it sound like it is a slightly altered version of music from famous Nintendo titles. It raises the questions as to what did they use for their musical inspiration as there seems like very little there.

Character development is quite amazingly welled played out as from start to finish it so clear as to how the characters change and their feelings for each other change over time. It would have been better if more characters within the school had some development with the main characters as outside of the main group, next to no character progression is had.

The enjoyment factor is quite high for the first 8 or so episodes while the last 5 episodes are somewhat dull and just drag on the average school day life with added mentally unstable side character. However the ending seems very well played out as after all the denying the main character does with the existence of illogical things, it really did come as a mind melting surprise.
