WTF did I just watch, I mean I don't even know how to describe this, its weird in a good way but man each episode hits hard.
Each episode is unique in its main story objective while still flowing nicely between the two with a nice chunk of character development so the characters really don't feel shallow at all even with a runtime of only around an hour.
The art style is not as sharp with some weird face proportions but overall doesn't affect that much.
I really recommend everyone to watch this though its written extremely good with amazing plot twists and just seller progression, and the quotes man, just OMG.
" Not many people believe in divine retribution.
That's because God is a lazy fellow.
However,he does a good job every once in a while. "
Oh my fucking god ....

It's by-the-book genre fiction, the definition of pulp, but let me be clear and say you should watch this, as, matter of fact, it is a rare instance of a detective drama done well in anime. Very exciting, thrilling, beautifully rendered in a style that is so precisely needed, a very glossy, metallic sheen to it all. I only wish there were more, but a part of me also knows that the visual quality is likely to only be so assured by the limited amount of episodes.
There is little more to say, though I believe that even if you dislike it, you will still derive some enjoyment from the pulpier elements. It's one of a select number of anime worth showing to someone unfamiliar with the genre, and it's especially refreshing as a break from it's overarching, tedious focus on character tropes, as it…

Nothing to say much because of length .
Synopsis is pretty demmn interseting and eye catching sepcially for crime thriller lover .
I started with 0 expectations but it met my all needs at end nothing much to complain . It has everything that must supposed to be in a crime thriller like mystery bgm , dark vibes and unsetting enviornment and characters . There is a hidden message too like light wins over darkness in end , Mc representing light here and other as dark aura which are a result of despair because they got betrayed by society .
There are 3 volumes exactly .... these 2 ep or 80 + min anime only covers 1 and 3rd volume , 2nd volume has more unsetting and spooky plot so, not adapted by studio . Feeling sad that author left this novle in midway due to some reasons .

Unlike most anime this one at least tries to be a bit shocking rather than holding itself back trying not to ruffle any feathers.
It reminds me of the game Rule of Rose and early Higurashi seasons.
The main issue is that it's merely a 2 episode introduction each covering a different little murder mystery involving the main character duo of overdone schoolkids, so there's only the start of a story here of bizarre denpa derangement that doesn't have a chance to actually go anywhere for an overarching story, and without that it's mostly just schlock horror. So really it's LN/manga-bait.
The English title is a bit confusing because really denpa should've been left untranslated as denpa is more widely known as a genre meaning 'mental derangement horror' based on modern urban legend conspiracies…

tl;dr: A couple of decent enough mysteries, but a really underdeveloped cast of characters.
This is a pair of two OVAs based on a three volume novel series of the same name. It only adopts two of it’s volumes however, with the first OVA adapting the first volume and the second OVA mainly adapting the third with some minor stuff taken from the second. As one would expect, since each OVA is only 42 minutes and it straight up skips adapting the second volume, that the adaptation has to diverge considerably from the novels with major cuts to the story and a lot of restructuring of events.
Each OVA involves a mystery with a psychological horror vibe being dealt with by the two main characters, Juu and Ame. As the title of the series suggests, there is some degree of denpa to it as well, thoug…

Electromagnetic Girlfriend is an eccentric little gem of an anime, absolutely packed with suspense, mystery, and adventure from start to finish. I went into this with the weirdest expectations because of the title, but not even 10 minutes in those expectations were flipped on their head, and I was hooked. Beginning with the story, it really pulls its weight considering just how short the show is with a scant 2 episode run. Without giving anything away, the setup is very out-there but soon builds itself up into this engaging, even surprising story, backed up by some great writing. The mysteries are so unique and detailed and take these turns that are just impossible to see coming. This aspect alone is incredibly impressive, and this anime's strongest point.
The art is very solid overall,…

In general, it's an edgy anime. It has a high school setting and plot, the only difference being that it has psychotic and edgy teenagers. I've not seen School Days (and I swear I never will, no matter what), but I've seen the ending of School Days, and I can say that if you take the edginess of the ending of School Days, and made it into two 40 min episodes, you'll get Electromagnetic Girlfriend. The only reason I personally gave it an 8 is because the first episode was legitimately good. The second episode was trash and edgy. Why have I mentioned the word "edgy" multiple times? To emphasize how edgy it actually is. I don't want to invalidate others' opinions, but whoever said that it has a dark atmosphere to it, they're totally wrong and I've seen better anime with a more eerie atmospher…

Everyone's insane, so long as you push them hard enough.
That was the phrase going through my mind while watching this anime; all of them--victims of despair. Uneventful occurrences happened in their lives that eventually pushed them to do the things that they did. The anime didn't attempt to humanize them--instead, the anime tried to portray what events can influence a person enough to think that murder is a justifiable thing to do because everyone should be as miserable as they are. That was the connection shared between those two episodes; the madness that resides within resurfaces just because of a certain chain of events. I don't empathize with the killers, of course. What they did was truly unforgivable--but with what they went through, one can't help but wonder if they were as much…

This show caught my attention because of the cover picture looks so mysterious and just well interesting. I mean come on the umbrella is red!!
"The quickest way to achieve happiness is to avoid looking at reality." Very true. It's the quickest, and easiest way. But it's not the only way. I now know that one can have a reasonably happy life even in the bleakness of reality. Not that I have all the answers, or that there's one simple answer. For me, it's about allowing myself to feel good and being ok with letting myself enjoy things. Simple things even. Maybe things we take for granted in many cases. It's ok to be a little selfish. You have to be, because nobody but you is really going to be able to make you happy. Of course, it's also possible to be happy by staying in delusion. Many peop…

This was weird but fun to watch at the same time. Denpa-teki na Kanojo has 2 movies which are around 42 minutes long per movie. The story of the movie revolves around a blonde-haired boy who was dragged into unnatural events - This led to him having to solve mysteries because why not!
This anime explores the danger of individuals who have "lost it" ( e.g. maniacs, psychos ) and the reason of why they are acting like one. With the MCs working as a ( technical ) rectifier for the situations.
This anime in short : My life's not normal anymore. Well. Guess I'll just have to go along with it.
Good story ( approved by Mr. Edgy ), Satisfactory art, Good sound, Good characters. Overall a very enjoyable movie that can kill time. Recommended to those who want to watch some quick mystery thrille…

Easiest way to explain this should would be if expection bar was low as it possible could be , like its on the fucking ground , Denpa-teki na Kanojo sees this, gives a smirky look and proceeds to start digging tunnel underneath the bar.
Denpa-teki na Kanojo is one of hollowest work of anime i have ever watched to the point that i was pretty sure this was a troll show made deliberately to be absolute trash and i feel like idiot for falling for low level bait.
moving on , this show is listed as mystery thriller, school although it should say "complete dumpster trash".
Listen show then cast consists of 4 characters and 2 are protagonists and one is killed, its doesnt take collective deducing power of L, Sherlock and every detective in existence to guess who murder might fucking be.

okeh first of all let me tell you,this isn't the quite review you were hoping for. (edit:if you want to know if you are to try this anime, i would say you should. and this review doesn't include any spoilers so you can red them them even if you havent watched it yet)
im just sharing my thoughts after watching this 2 episodes ova's .
if the game of life we all have met/felt pain ,some of our friends/relatives have faces greater tragedy/pain than ours.at that moment of pain/loneliness they need somebody they could relay on.they need some one who would say to them "Are you okay ?" and that's all they dont know or dont want to know if he/she could help help them or not .but they feel relived ,they find someone to share their story .
these were the feelings that i felt (now im talking about the…

*My first review ever*
Story:
the story was quite entertaining and refreshing, but it had only two episodes so, not much I can say about.
It only covered two stories in both of them they had very satisfactory endings, so, overall enjoyment will be pretty good.
Music:
Nothing much can I say about it. Both ending songs are decent and there is one theme which is also pretty good.
Characters: I think this might be the weakest aspect of it, cause it has only two episodes. Characters are decent but you can't expect any character development which is not a bad thing at all. Art:
What I most enjoyed in this anime was background art style and the still shots of different characters and places. Colors were really beautiful and the lighting was done just right. The art style of anime was the rea…

Story (3/10) - poor
"Denpa-Teki Na Kanojo" is about crazy girls, crazy girls that don't make any sense.
Obviously, the main reason for their poor development is the small number of episodes. But, if they made a movie instead of an OVA, maybe they could develop something more believable. If you decide to add reason behind a Yandere character's actions, at least make them sound somewhat believable, otherwise just stick to their pure craziness and don't try to create empathy for those characters.
The psycho-girls in this Anime, as I already said, make no sense. They're focusing too much on shocking and graphic scenes - obviously, the only way to portray a messed up characters - and then, from nowhere, they begin to show how those psychos actually victims while sticking to the shock facto…

"The fastest way to happiness is to avoid looking at reality,"
I’m completely amazed by this anime. I have no idea why I haven’t heard of it earlier. I came watching this with absolutely no expectations, and after reading the reviews praising its greatness, I was surely expecting to be disappointed, or at least unsatisfied. Despite my worries, Denpa teki na Kanojo proved me wrong.
A majority of the anime delves on the psychological state of individuals who were unfortunately succumbed to traumatic experiences. Because of this, much of the “antagonists” are made to believe that happiness can only be gained through taking other people’s happiness away. This is just a safe explanation as the events that occur during the climaxes of each episode will surely shock you. The build-up towards t…

At this point Studio Brain’s Base (Baccano) has made an impact on the industry enough to start making a good name for themselves. This lead to the studio taking on a small adaptation of The Radio Wave-Like Girlfriend, which is an adaptation of a short three (3) volume light novel series. Standing at only adapting two of the three stories, how good could this anime possible be? A good choice was getting the director of the hit show Elfen Lied in Mamoru Kanbe. The man and the studio as of 2009 had experience in creating a deeper story and going beyond what was expected.
This show focuses around two intriguing characters: Juuzawa whom is a tall blond with a lone wolf type of attitude and Ochibana whom is probably suffering from fantasy prone schizophrenia by believing her and Juuzawa shared…

Denpa-teki is a good show with the main draw being that this anime holds a unique MC combo of the large and street tough Juu Juuzawa paired with the small and reclusive Ame Ochibana who follows Juu believing she is his knight. The second most important thing about this anime is it's stories, Juu and Ame are tossed into mysterious and brutal crimes that are committed around them and from there the pair set about to bring justice and put a stop to these acts. I found the stories to be quite compelling and attention holding and very unique. I recommend watching this show if you like thrillers, murder mayhem, and a bit of mystery. I would also recommend watching this show if you enjoy unique MC pairings as this show has just that, however be warned since this show has about an hour and a half…

This OvA, has so much potential for a broader and wider aspect of its story.
It's a full on thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat begging for more of the story but avast ends in only the few episodes.
Which is the issue with the characters not being fully developed and not understanding the reasons why the characters act each way, you do learn some back story, but it's not enough to learn more on their motives and personality.
I highly reccomend this for any anime fans who like thrillers, horror/psychological and drama. It will be a anime you probably will never forget about. Finally, there is a light novel for this so check it out as there is way more to the story.

Welcome to LA's 5th Annual Halloween Special this 2016.....and because last year LA took on Ghost Stories (DUBBED) and before that Corpse Party, LA thought to take on a more "thriller" mystery than the more "bloody" ones LA took on previously, this time looking at Denpa-teki na Kanojo annnnnndddd...yes it's quite obvious that Denpa-teki na Kanojo doesn't fit the Halloween theming for this "special", as its more "thriller mystery", than any actual horror elements involved but work with LA here...though blood will be spilled...
*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 o…

I liked the art. it is pretty.
I liked the ending theme. is a beautiful melody that complements and magnifies the intensity of themes presented.
I liked the characters and they stand out.
I liked the camera changes to Ochibana Ame standing alone in various backgrounds that added a psychological tone to her words.
I liked the approach of the events unravelling, not unlike a mystery animé.
I liked the score cues during tense scenes.
I liked how each character had something going on.
I liked that character had depth. We only found out what we need to know for the story to progress when we need to know it.
Right off the bat we are shown a disturbing scene. For a few moments it looks like we are about to witness a rape and then nothing. The atmosphere changes to a normal typical school ani…
