Line 6:
All that comes to a screeching halt the moment he steps into Meme's home to find a young girl -- Meme's hitherto unknown daughter and his cousin, Erio -- wrapped in a futon lying on the front step. Worse than that, she [[Techno Babble|speaks strangely]]. And thinks [[Strange Girl|she's an alien]].
'''''Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl''''' (Japanese: 電波女と青春男, Hepburn: ''Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko'', literally "Electrowave Girl and Youthful Boy") is a series of light novels written by Hitoma Imura, which follow Makoto as he finds out more about his confused cousin and her strange beliefs about how their entire lives are nothing but a huge alien experiment.
An anime adaptation by [[Studio Shaft]] began airing in April 2011.
Line 58:
** As of episode 4, Erio seems to have started reciprocating Makoto's interest in her, and in episode 5 she outright tells him that she ''likes'' him. Once again, it's currently ambiguous as to whether this is a romantic attraction or just a friendly one.
* [[Lies to Children]]: Makoto comes to realize that ruining Erio's dreams of aliens is not much better than ruining a child's dreams of Santa Claus. {{spoiler|He even (unintentionally) made Erio cry.}}
* [[Light Novel]]
* [[Likes Older Women]]: [[Zig Zagged]] in several different directions with Makoto. On one hand, he seems to be attracted to both girls his own age as well as Meme, who is 23 years his senior. On the other hand, he tends to ping-pong between attraction and repulsion towards Meme.
* [[Magic Skirt]]: Considering how often the camera follows a low angle [[Male Gaze]] around her, Erio is lucky for this. There was a pretty unavoidable [[Panty Shot]] in the first episode, but it was censored with a flying saucer.
Line 87 ⟶ 88:
** Even after she comes to grips with reality, she still finds being wrapped in one very calming.
** {{spoiler|Meme also uses the futon, even as she tries to come to grips with the harsh truth that she just turned forty.}}
* [[Seinen]]
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Gender-flipped -- Ryuuko's teammates constantly tease her about Makoto being her boyfriend, which she vehemently denies. Interestingly, he doesn't seem to be entirely against the idea...
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Erio comes off as one once she ditches her futon. Meme's teasing doesn't help.
