Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko

[Kraco]

"Electromagnetic Wave Woman and Adolescent Man"



"* Based on a light novel series by Iruma Hitoma with illustrations by Buriki.

The story revolves around a highschool boy named Niwa Makoto. He lives with his aunt's family since his parents are away on business. It is there where he meets his mysterious cousin of the same age Touwa Erio — who happens to tie a futon mattress around her upper body and is a self-proclaimed alien. Her staple food is pizza. Erio had been missing for half a year and was found floating in the sea. She doesn't remember anything about what happened during that period of time, but she began to think that it was the act of an alien and wanders the neighbourhood wrapped in the futon." -AniDB

This show is pretty hard to judge based on a single episode. The first thing I noticed was that the main character dude (VA: Miyu Irino; Saji Crossroad of 00, Ryoushi Morino of Okami) wasn't completely passive, which is always a big plus. The rest of the characters shown so far were pretty goofy, especially the denpa girl (VA: Asuka Ougame; Mei-Shen Trinden of Regios, various roles in Sora no Otoshimono) and also the aunt (VA: Ai Nonaka; Kyouko Sakura of Madoka, Fuuko Ibuki of Clannad). I'll definitely watch at least the next ep. However, it's impossible to say how this will develop but I have my hopes up. At the very least this seems to have an atmosphere of its own.
