Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko - Ryuuko, I will miss you! Erio too!

by feal871. July 2011 01:05

Hello everyone,

Here we are for the last post about this wonderful series named Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko that finally today after a two weeks wait completed its run this evening!

The final two episode run (all in the same day after skipping last week) were a wonderful experience with great moments with all the characters having an equal share of the time of the episodes showing both cute moments, moè moments, serious moments and emotional moments.

Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko

From the build up 11th episode I especially loved the Yashiro's talk that while a little far fetched in the usage of the words, it was really straight to the point and shown point of views that I can really relate with. Thanks to that talk she convinced Makoto at encouraging Ryuuko with her practice match to show his own "superpowers" and making her win.

Somehow the Ryuuko's personality of trying hard at playing basketball, but failing was so lonely to see and I liked the way they decided to end it...

She truly is the best character in the end of this adaptation and she really got a jump up in my rankings thanks to that practice game. I feel Ryuuko is the best girl to end up with Makoto as they looks like the most cute and intimate together as with the other girls Makoto just act as a tsukkomi man with no real deep feelings.

Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko

The last episode is mostly dedicated to the final baseball match to decide the festival location and it was a nice way to end the series all based on the "running away because you're scared of failing" that took away Makoto from the soccer way.

The show didn't forget to alternate emotional moments with comedy points (like Meme appearance in that really hot baseball outfit) giving us in the very end the understanding (even if its not clearly said) that Yashiro has real powers and that helped Makoto win by creating the wind from nothing to make the homerun to happen.

The series is ended in a very open-end way giving us plenty of opportunities to see a future second season especially knowing there is still plenty of material to cover in the original light novel. (hoping the DVD/Blu ray sales will be good so that may act as an incentive to the producers)

I have to say "Great job Shaft" on this series. The production was incredibly of high quality for the whole adaptation with no particular problems of animation and with great graphical design / personality / voice-over for all the characters.

Let's hope they will keep up the same quality in the summer season series they'll be producing!

Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko

I'll miss all the characters of this series (Ryuuko!!!) and I seriously hope for a second anime adaptation soon. I'll also probably pick all the manga/LNs that will ever come out for this series as soon as possible. Laughing

Before concluding the post, let's review for the last time my rankings!

Ryuuko : +61 points (+20 points)

Erio : +56 points (+16 points)

Yashiro : +36 points (+13 points)

Maekawa : +35 points (+8 points )

Meme : +28 points (+10 points) 

Ryuuko WINS, but maybe it was too obvious.

See you soon,

And that's another series (Almost) done. Due to the quake, the actual final episode, 13, will be released with the BDs. So you get to wait another 6 months for us to finish. Again.
Found that on the Mazui page for the (current) last episode listing.  I hope for sake of the series it does proper justice as an OVA.

Oh Thanks for the news, I noticed that the ending was too abrupt, but 6 month is...a...lot.
Well, I'll take it as a nice reason to watch again the whole series.

Because of the quake, I completely forgot about the series, till I saw this blog post, then went digging, and found that nifty contribution.

Honestly, I've only seen Ep 1 so far, but with this news, I'm wondering if I should watch what I can now, or if I should wait till I can grab the BDs.

Well, if you're still at the first episode maybe its better to just wait as the summer season is starting soon...

If you watch the Hidan no Aria post Alex posted a link containing info from the directors that if there are enough sales we'll see a new Denpa Onna and Hidan no Aria seasons.

I think that's how business goes. I have yet to watch Aria so I haven't really read the article but afaik, the success of a second season depends on sales. it's what funds that season after all. but I do hope they get to continue denpa onna. it's such a good anime in terms of content, characters, and fanservice

Definitely agreed. It seems that anyway the sales for the first dvd are not bad to be honest. something like 6K units in the first week.

6K * 6000 yen = 36 million yen = 310K euro that is not a shabby result for two episodes...

Just finished watching this show and I really like the feel good ending. This is the kind of show that will make you expect that something extraordinary or supernatural is going to happen, but in the end you'll realize that the extra-ordinariness is just within you all along. Like what you said, great job Shaft!

Yeah, now let's see if they'll decide to do a second season for real. It would be a great thing, especially now that we have a solid base of character and story to focus on.

Watched it as soon as I got home. Loved the series and the ending as well. Shaft studios really did a good with the execution and animation detail. Hopefully, the directors can make use of the source material by the original writer for a second season, if they choose to do something like that.

Yeah there is plenty of material for new episodes, but well, we still have also a OAV to watch. Let's focus on it!

Meme is my heroine and always will be the 2nd greatest cougar of all time next to Delia Ketchum.

Erio was too much jail bait for me to like her as much as others seem to.

Maekawa was the cool girl character.

And now, unsurprisingly the character I liked the least of all...Ryuushi. I don't hate her, I just like her very little compared to the others. Heck even Yashiro's more awesome.

That's a really magnificent thing. That means one less enemy in my stairs to conquer Ryuuko's heart.


Meme was fine, but she really didn't looked like a 40 year old woman. (max 25-30 year from looks alone)

Who cares? Point is she's an oh so sexy mom and that's what counts.

As far as I'm concerned, you can have Ryuushi. I just liked her when she was wearing the fedora.

If I wanted to see 100% attractive adult women, I would play EVE Burst Error.

Oh, you sure pull out a classic with "EVE Burst Error", but still I'm more in the cute side so its not really my genre as woman after all...

I personally prefer women who are at least over 5 feet and have a developed body over shrimps or girls who look like little kids.

In short, I like my women with more "meat" in their bodies. and no I'm not talking about chest size because I really like Nadie from El Cazador.

Oh Nadie, I do liked her body style to be honest. She's actually my type of girl as well. (even if the story wasn't the best, have to review that series as well...oh much to work to do...
)

...but still my heart can't say no to a Ryuuko/Erio combination. (Yashiro is instead too childlike even if very beautiful)

I was still more entertained by Yashiro's sharp tongue and continuation of the epic alien lingo that they stopped doing with Erio (Stupid move but for character development, it had to be done).

although I dig Nadie, she belongs to Ellis so I won't do anything to break them apart.

Ryuushi tries WAY too hard to be funny in my opinion. She does have her moments though.

Yashiro's final talk with Makoto was really good, but she got too little screen-time in this season, that's why we need another season!!!

I'll be honest, I'm not really sure about why I do like this much Ryuuko compared to the other girls, but I think her voice (Emiri Katou, that is also the seiyuu voicing Kyubey) is a major factor in my decision.
