Mixed Feelings
Red Data Girl? More like Red Filler Girl, because that's what the entire anime is about -- fillers, and tons of them, that has nothing to do with the main core of the anime.

Izumuki Suzahara is a foruteen years-old teenager who, ever since she could remember, has been living in a rather secluded woods area, away from most people's sight. She is called the Red Data Girl, or like the opening explains it, "A girl in danger of going inextinct." She is apparently carrying some sort of goddess with her, whom appears at random times when she wishes to say or do something important. Otherwise, Izumuki is a girl secluded from the world in order to keep herself safe from people that would want to hurt her and use her powers for the bad. Along her joins Miyuki, a teenager of the same age that was chosen to manservice the goddess for the rest of his life.

RDG is mostly based upon Japanese culture and folklore, history and symbols which might be confusing to one person, but the main issues that lies within the anime isn't the heavy lean towards cultural characteristics, but the really bad storytelling done throughout the entire anime. There are many issues discussed, that -- to the the very last episode -- you wouldn't understand, and couldn't pick on on your own. Even if you tried, you'd still have no idea what was going.

Characters are likeable, though no very important, and sometimes just really shady and odd. They would act very friendly and the next episode, go crazy and dramatically serious for no reason. This confused me more often than not, and honestly brought me to avoid liking ANY of them.

Art is extremely good, scenery looks great and I personally also really liked the ending songs. Synthetically, this anime is perfect to anyone that likes pretty faces.

Overall, I kept watching since I was excited about Miyuki-kun, considering that he was the only hot character there, and in a sense -- the voice of reason. Otherwise, I wouldn't actually recommend this to anyone. It's sad to see so many resources go to waste on a really weak anime.
