Denpa teki na Kanojo: Difference between revisions

'''''Denpa Teki Na Kanojo''''': Juuzawa Juu was just a normal delinquent teenage boy, spending his days getting into fights he would much rather avoid. One day, however, a strange girl named Ochibana Ame finds him and tells him that he was a king in his past life, and that she was his knight. She pledges fealty to him and swears to serve him as the knight she (at least believes) she once was. Originally, he wanted nothing to do with her, but when his classmate is murdered by a serial killer, he looks to her for help in solving the case.

 

----

* [[Above the Influence]]: Much to {{spoiler|Hikaru's}} chagrin at the time, Juu. She thanks him later for not taking advantage of her when she was distraught from {{spoiler|being rejected by her crush.}}

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Ayase's brother, ''in front of Kaori,'' because Kaori dumped him for another guy.}}

* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: Pretty much everyone in this show is at least a little bit crazy.

* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Absolutely averted pretty much every time (just as a warning).

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: {{spoiler|Ayase}} has one to give to anyone who listen.

* [[Insane Equals Violent]]: Played straight and subverted. Many characters in the series ''are'' violently insane, but some characters are mentally ill in a more traditional (and less destructive) way.

* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: When {{spoiler|Shiraishi}} pushes Juu out into traffic {{spoiler|to metaphysically "steal" his happiness}}, the car swerves out of the way and ends up hitting her instead. Yukihime even states afterward that karma worked out right for once.

* [[Overprotective Dad|Overprotective Sister]]: Ame's sister, Hikaru, is deeply suspicious of Juu, initially believing that he was encouraging Ame's strange behavior. She was quite relieved to find out that he was as freaked out by Ame's behaviour as she was.

* [[Path of Inspiration]]: Not exactly religious, per se, but the Happiness Club has a disturbing enough metaphysical outlook to qualify. {{spoiler|They believe that there is a limited amount of happiness in the world, so if they want to be happy they need to make someone else unhappy. Thus, they resort to various kinds of harassment, collecting "happiness points" as they do so, creating a sort of perverse [[Karma Meter]].}} Of course, the whole thing is a plot by {{spoiler|Ayase}} to gather everyone {{spoiler|in the Happiness Club}} together so {{spoiler|she can steal all of their happiness at once... ''by burning them all alive.''}} The intended result is {{spoiler|to gather enough Happiness Points to resurrect her dead mother. It doesn't work, of course.}}

* [[Psycho Lesbian]]: The lesbian bit is questionable; the psycho part is ''not.''

* [[Sacred First Kiss]]: Hikaru ends up giving hers to Juu to keep up the act that she is his girlfriend. She later berates him about it, though.

* [[Stockholm Syndrome]]: After being raped by the serial killer, {{spoiler|Miya becomes his accomplice, taking pictures of the victims just before they're killed and posting them on the internet. She even helps to finish the job when the severe beatings he gives the poor women don't quite work.}}

* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Ame seems to have a lot of trouble expressing her emotions, but she starts opening up more to Juu as time goes on.

* [[There Are No Therapists]]: And boy, howdy, could they use them. Look at a character, any character in this series. Are they (currently) alive? Then chances are they could use a few (hundred) sessions with a decent psychologist.

* [[Title Drop]]: You may not realize it, but the English name of the series is "Electromagnetic Girlfriend"

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: It's questionable how much the serial killer actually believes his insane ramblings, but if he does then he qualifies. If he doesn't, then he's [[Complete Monster|absolutely irredeemable.]] He gets into [[Moral Event Horizon|irredeemable territory]] anyway [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|when he rapes]] {{spoiler|Miya.}}
