Okay read that post ages ago but apparently I skimmed though it too quickly and I didn’t see that TL note about denpateki.
Well, denpa doesn’t exactly mean electromagnetic, it means electromagnetic waves and the stuff related to that (you know, in some manga, some characters are able to send evil psychic waves, these are denpa too!). It’s also a way to say that someone’s quite crazy and behaves out of the norm. You can insult someone by telling him/her he/she’s a denpa, a freak kinda. But the word denpa is a bit more vast than that description. First it’s linked to somewhat a genre which is about odd events in today’s Japan including massive internet suicides, urban legends and techno-magic related oddities and when you think about it, quite a lot of stories include these themes. But it’s also a music genre mainly represented by MOSAIC.WAV and characterized by awful amounts of noise and hyper high-pitched modified voices. Also linked in a way to the 2000′s moé boom with Digi Charat and all that kind of stuff.
But to go back to Denpateki na Kanojo, the denpateki part is better left untranslated. I don’t even know how to write about denpa synthetically so translating denpa with one word would be really an achievement. Okay, that was all. Oh and I like this show too and kure-nai sucks.

I should try to read this wiki article http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9B%BB%E6%B3%A2%E7%B3%BB on denpakei when I have some free time and I promise you I’ll come back if I do!

You got me as soon as you showed me the Picture with the girl with the bloody baseball bat.
In fact one of my favorite female characters in a Videogame wields a bloody baseball bat: Bad Girl!
She has more balls than most guys and fucks you up good.

Ill definately check this show out.Thanks for the hint

After reading your Cromartie High School post and watching the anime, I dont think I could ever believe anything you say about hating robots with feelings. Or hating animals, for that matter.

Lies! Obviously you stole them from the real artist! I refuse to believe dinosaurs have such mastery over the arts!

You seem to have missed the part where she WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE IN HIDING. But I guess you weren’t really paying attention to the show.
