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…

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.

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…

If you are a fan of things like deeper character development, rational thinking, realistic characters and mystery watch something else. Denpa Teki na Kanojo tries to be a showcase of crazy people, but achieves barely anything else
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cons
*Denpa Teki na Kanojo tries very hard to make it's characters seem insane, but doesn't give them a proper buildup which leads to their condition feeling forced.
*It is filled with spontaneous plot developments that ruin the atmosphere (i.e. pulling information out of seemingly thin air or conveniently running into a corpse.)
*The characters are often plagued with a lack of common sense abnormal even for the horror genera. * The mystery was weak, it was too predictable at times and too unpredictable at other…

Denpa Teki is one of those shows where you finish and realize that you really want more. It's a two-episode action/thriller/mystery OVA with a hint of comedy but lots of dramatism (think Kara no Kyoukai-esque murders only without the magical powers/abilities). By the same author as Kurenai, this OVA covers novels 1 and 3 (out of a meager total of 3) of the light novel. The story is about a blonde punk (my first impression) who happens to gain an inseparable sidekick (think mysterious master/servant) in the form of a girl who can somehow sense when Juu is in danger (hense Denpa), and who pledges to serve him unquestioningly.
This was a very enjoyable, if not overly brief, endeavor and I would highly recommend giving it a try.

This OVA belongs to the psychological anime genre, and is a good series to start with this genre and later watch other series more complex. Despite the fact that is really simple, it doesn't make it worse. The realistic tone, along the anime stereotypes like the past lives or the alien secret conspiracy, just exist in the head of the characters, but the aftermath is real, with real people being murdered. A series that show us, without showing more fantasy than people's delusion, that the fantasy can affect reality in dangerous ways. The visual aspects of the story are just ok enough, but the screenplay and the characters are what makes the series so appealing, specially the mean duo, Juu and Ame, a problematic but kind-hearted boy with the feet on the ground and a sinester-looking but ador…

Throw some nice ambient, some great op/ed themes, very nice art, an interesting and somewhat original story, mix them together...
It usually doesn't always end up well. Because integrity is needed.
Well, this anime, two episodes OVA, has very nice sounds and ambiance music, touching ed themes, an art that is catchy (even by today's standards) and a story that is very, very intriguing.
Firstly, it is not a shounen where high school kids go for their so-called romance. It is not an 'bleeding-edge' science-fiction either. It is something that can, though unlikely, happen in daily life. This makes it better, because characters are not so deep with some great resolve or aim, which would make them shallow otherwise. However, they fit in, they feel real. Therefore, it has integrity.

Since the show only has 2 double episodes i really thought that pacing would be bad here, it was sooo not! Edge of the seat story that will have you guessing. This is a really good thriller.
Art-8
Doesn't really have that gloss of a high budget anime. It looks almost great but just lacking in areas, still very good art work and animation is superb.
Sound-9 Cant complain. Sets the tone very nicely for the atmosphere of this anime.
Character-10
I loved the characters, the main characters have enough depth and comedic moments, they are such opposites so they have unique reasons as to why they are great.
Enjoyment-10
I love murder mystery's and thrillers. And this anime is all about that.

I came into this after reading all the good reviews and high MAL score so i thought this would be a good anime to watch with my friends.
I was right but so wrong and we had some of the best laughs yet.
Character motivations are ambiguous at best with our two protagonists putting themselves on the line in unrealistic and unreasonable circumstances. We get to know next to nothing about out generic yandere clingy female and ambitiousless male lead. We get to feel nothing for the charecters who are lost in the hopless edgyness of this anime.
Now, there is no problem with edginess. Elfen Lied, Higurashi or Shingeki do it well, but this is because they set up a convincing scenario where the gore is justifiable to the message. Denpa Teki makes it just seem so crass and immature. This is in par…

Denpa Teki na Kanojo is based on the first and third light novels written by Kentarō Katayama. The novels were adapted into a short two episode OVA.
Story - 7
With only two episodes, the number of clarification fails to meet the number of questions aroused. This makes up for a complex, and hard-to-follow series. However, this does not mean Denpa teki na Kanojo was a failure as a whole. In the two episodes they have released, they introduced a number of mysteries and of course, a solution towards them. Some concepts were, for the most part, compulsive. The idea of destroying others' happiness for the sake of your own was neat and made sense with the events that occurred.
Art - 9
Considering Brains Base were the producers of this OVA, it is no surprise that the artwork of Denpa Teki na Kan…

Story: 10/10 The story is outstanding for a two episode OVA. The storyline and the *SPOILERideaofhappypointsSPOILER* are original. The pacing was great, the plot wasn't given away too much at the beginning nor the end. Information and the plot were given away bit by bit along the two episodes. I especially liked the effects in the anime. For example, when the image of the very same statue pops up at regular intervals. Another example is when only words, letters and maybe a character or two shows up against a black background behind them. But it's not just the words, letters and characters on the black backgrounds, it's also the CONTENT in the words, letters and backgrounds. As I'm terrible at explaining, I'll just have to do with another example. "It has reached him..." So WHAT has reached…

This review is mostly going to explain some of the importance of the psychology in this production, because you can already read usual reviews of this show, just in case this will not suffice as a review, I will make a small one at the bottom.
I hope this review will not spoil the surprises found in this OVA, I will not mention any characters or events, but the psychology of the series, if you do not want to read it, please skip to "--- Psychology END ---" at the bottom.
--- Psychology ---
Denpa teki na Kanojo does an amazing job in my opinion on creating characters that can be psychologically manipulated (Namely, the antagonists.)
The character that does the manipulating- it's questionable how she does it, but with that aside - is very good at what she does, the writing is very smart.…

Have you ever thought about perception and what other's worlds and what they see really look like? Well Denpa teki na kanojo is an anime that offers you a look into other's realities, or their perception of reality in a very gruesome way.
The story takes place with the typical guy meets girl in highschool type of setting, but takes a turn for the strange when she relays why they met. As much as he doesn't want to believe her reality he gets sucked in with mysterious and dramatic events. These events bring them closer together while also throwing them into the perceptions and deceptions of others worlds.
The art is decent and I enjoyed that they made it seem kind of dark and gloomy.
The characters were great, there was a level for each character and they played a role in some aspect or…

I just happen to have stumbled upon this beautiful 2 episode OVA to waste a well deserved 2.5 hrs, I'm glad I found this! First off let me say this isn't your typical anime show and should have been a series or at least I hope they do so in the near future. I like how the story started, then meeting this freakish dark aura looking girl who happens to follow the protagonist around saying he and she are bonded for generations in the previous life(weirdo right?) oh did I mention their insane killings, murders, character change, huge unexpected turns? Wait!! wait!!! you'll have to watch it for yourself. I'm sure you'll enjoy it ... Just my two cents

Although the beginning was a bit confusing, I really got to like it after I watched it a bit. At first I was worried that it would quickly turn into one of those boring, fantasy, typical anime- nuh uh. Not with this anime.
The story, in my opinion, was great. The plot was actually unique for once, like, REALLY unique. It merges horror+tragedy with highschool and romance well, but it has a bit of comedy too. Not sure how it all fits, but they work dat stuff like no other. I think if you liked anything like Mirai Nikki, you'll love this.
The art could be a little better. . . The characters DO do what they should do, but they don't like .. .have enough force in it sometimes.And when I watch anime or read manga, I like to have it drawn a certain way. . . all I can say is I don't like the d…

Even though it makes a bold entrance suggesting a rough ride, it manages to come of a light thriller with a nice selection of interesting characters. The pace is good and the story is presented with very good timings. The plot turns at moments where its "just right" which makes watching this OVA very entertaining.
I don't want to downplay the mature content and it may leave scars to younger viewers but i found it not as dark as it could have gotten, and being aimed at a mature audience the plot seemed a little bit too easy. If you are a seasoned thriller/crime viewer you will know what i mean.
But then we have the overall good presentation and sound, a nice atmosphere and just 2 hours to wrap things up. I would say it has been pulled off alright. The only thing i didn't understand was…

Well I didn't really had my hopes up at start. And after 3 minutes of watching I decided to end it. I recently watched ecchi anime so it is hard to concentrate with this depressing psychological anime. But I checked the rating for this and it had a 8.14 so I gave it another shot.
And hell I was surprised this anime is amazing.
Story:
There are 2 episodes, with two different stories who stand aside from each other (except for the characters). The first episode is about a serial killer, I have to say that it is pretty obvious who the killer is, but there is a amazing twist halfway the series. A deep emotional plot that goes back to the beginning of the anime. It is simply amazing how you can feel hatred pity and some weird enjoyment over the passing events. The first episode leaves us with…

As it was stated in another review; this Anime/Ova showed me why I originally loved to watch Anime/Ova's. The most common Anime you will watch is usually a different story with a cliche ending, although I still enjoy these Anime's; it feels as if I am watching the same Anime with different characters.
Denpa Teki Na Kanojo gives you that thrill you would want in an Anime; once you think you've figured out the ending, there will be a twist that you didn't expect.

One of the characters in this out-of-the-ordinary masterpiece describes this anime very well.
For those of you familiar with the term "tsundere", prepare for yet another stereotypical storyline where the spiky hardshelled teen has a difficult love life, learns the meaning of happiness, and solves crimes with his generic emo friend.
But the difference here is, that the walls that usually separate what is acceptable in a program and what is not don't exist. So the psycho rapist WILL have his way with his sister, people who deserve it WILL die and not come back again, and your heartstrings WILL be pulled at watching it.
The bottom line is, although the setup and plotlines are at times extremely predictable, it's a deeply engrossing experience. Fans of "School Days" will love this.

Let me start off by first saying this OVA should've been a full series, Watching this anime made me realize why I first started watching anime in the first place. Maybe it's just me but the ever repeating cycle of School based animes with boring leads and stereotypical archetype females became quite dull; that being said Denpa Teki na Kanojo is a breath of fresh air that left me hungering for more.
In my eyes their are several reasons why i will watch an anime through and through -A. Well written story with no plot holes, B. Great Cast of characters that you really like and C. Great Director and Staff who have proven themselves before. This anime has all 3, but the biggest reason I believe this anime succeeds is the characters.
Juuzawa made this anime for me, I loved his character (then…
