*ahem* that aside, the plot is essentially a 2 isolated murder mysteries in which a couple of highschool students try to figure out who the murderer or mastermind are. The main characters, Juu Juuzawa voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya a delinquent with a VERY strong sense of justice, but he's a pretty unique character outright, always wanting to do the right thing, but not the point of just him wanting to do it all and accepts other people's help, Ame Ochibana voiced by Ryou Hirohashi a shy yet pseudo-chunni who sees Juu as her Highness and her herself a knight to protect Juu, not to mention Ame is one of those "they clean up nicely when they do" kind of archtype, together they make a pretty great pair and even better chemistry when the mystery is involved, as much as they are polar opposite personalities, they really do have the chemistry once Juu starts opening to Ame to make both their relationship as well as the mysteries brought upon them that much more interesting. As for the villains or "mastermind/murderers" in these two episodes, well the first episode's villain just falls onto the main duo's lap, but the sudden plot twist character to the first episode is rather coincidental to say the least and THAT plot twist character just spews exposition and backstory and all LA wanted to say was "just knock h** unconscious already!"..another words, as much as the first episode was just to get the main duo together. The final episode however is MUCH different with a rather GREAT villain with great motivations and although this villain has subtle and more or less predictable hints who this villain is, it's merely because of the villain's psychotic plan as WELL as this villain voice actor, LA has to praise this villain as heavy compensation for the first episode's villain. Although both villains have hardly any sympathy to LA even with their motivations, it's actually quite unique that we do get into some insight into them no matter how psychotic they are and with their theming to their murders or plans, their not sympathetic, just deviously developed for villains.
The other supporting characters do get screentime, however the majority of the supporting characters don't arrive til the final episode, the focus of the characters are to Juu, Ame and the murderer/mastermind of the episode and LA doesn't mind it as Juu and Ame were pretty great as a duo. As for LA's favourite character, it goes to Ame Ochibana as the mysterious chunni, maniac pixie character, LA's favourite supporting character?...well let's just say it's a tie between Ichiko Ayase voiced by Ami Koshimizu and Kaori Shiraishi voiced by Kana Ueda, why?...well HUGE SPOILERS but you'll easily know why if you've watched Denpa-teki na Kanojo, but let's just say it's because of their character development and for LA's personal preference, it's also due to their voice actors (for both main and supporting characters).
The plot twists and how the "mysteries" unravel is well slightly predictable for both mysteries, but LA didn't think that Denpa-teki na Kanojo was about it's "plot twists" more about the murderer/mastermind and their theming to what they believe in.
In terms of voice acting, the voice acting were actually exceptional, from Yoshimasa Hosoya, Ryou Hirohashi and Ami Koshimizu (as Juu Juuzawa, Ame Ochibana and Ichiko Ayase respectively) and seriously with a stella voice cast from Mai Nakahara, Eri Kitamura, Kana Ueda and Yuu Kobayashi, what can LA say but La just loved this voice cast and La will say special mention again to Ami Koshimizu and Ryou Hirohashi. IF there was one little annoyance LA had with this voice cast however, it goes to Kozue Yoshizumi as Hikaru Ochibana, Ame's younger sister, she quite easily goes into squeaky little sister range, as much as Kozue's vocals is an annoyance, it wasn't both the character or the voice actors fault AT ALL.
In terms of animation done by Brains Base, well the animation overall was pretty decent and seeing the pretty gruesome murders goes into Corpse Party levels of gore, just censored mostly...just blood. The character designs were also pretty polished and distinct, LA kinda had to say this as besides Juu, Ame and Hikaru, the other characters are almost always on their school uniforms.
Denpa-teki na Kanojo has it's problems especially with it's first episode to say the least with villain and how coincidental it all is, but it thankfully compensated for the final episode, but where Denpa-teki na Kanojo's biggest fault is that this anime OVA should have been a full 12/24 episode series, as Denpa-teki na Kanojo's simultaneous development of it's mastermind/murderer (along with their plans, motivations and theming to the villains episode) as well as the pseudo-romantic-chunni-justice relationship of Juu and Ame, Denpa-teki na Kanojo could have been a great thriller murder mystery anime with it's stellar voice cast and it's decently polished animation, LA isn't gonna say Denpa-teki na Kanojo is wasted potential because it's second episode alone has LOTS of potential it showed, but wanting see how things might pan out in this kind of anime...LA would actually want to carry on watching it if it got more episodes.
Denpa-teki na Kanojo might not have been Halloween-based, but it's villains and those gruesome deaths and murders are a close substitute. Nonetheless Denpa-teki na Kanojo's faults and it's impressive character strengths does still make this anime something to watch, LA just wished it could have done more with this premise with more episodes.
