Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl: Difference between revisions

* [[Baseball Episode]]: Not so much an episode, but Makoto and Erio join an amateur baseball team in later episodes.

* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: Elliot, Meme ''and'' Erio have glittering hair.

* [[Broken Bird]]: {{spoiler|Erio has shades of this. Just disappeared one day, showed up half a year later with nary a memory as to what happened during that time, retreated into her fond memories of space, tried to do an ET bike moment, broke her leg during that same moment, and retreated even deeper into her space fantasies, as well as a futon.}}

* [[Bumbling Dad|Bumbling Mom]]: Meme ''does'' love her little girl, and the only time she's ever been shown to be serious was when she's thinking about Erio. But that doesn't stop her from showing she has absolutely '''no''' idea on how to be a parent. At best, she's more like an emotionally stunted older sister. At worst, [[Abusive Mom|she's willing to fling her daughter around the house]].

** And Makoto's basically a [[Deadpan Snarker|snarkier]] version of [[Durarara|Mikado]].

* [[Foot Focus]]/[[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Erio often goes barefoot, and there's quite a bit of shots to Erio's bare feet, at least in the anime. Most of the time, we can only see her legs and feet anyway -- her upper body is hidden in a futon.

* [[Flying Saucer]]: A common motif of the series, and sightings are apparently common in Makoto's new hometown.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Makoto sees his move as an opportunity to pursue romance.

* [[Harem Genre]]: Makoto seems right on track to get a harem. [[Genre Savvy|After all, this is how he thinks his dream life in the city could become]].

* [[Hello Nurse]]: Inverted. Meme keeps trying to attract Makoto's attention, but it annoys him out more than anything else.

* [[Hot Mom]]: Meme Touwa.

* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]/[[Statuesque Stunner]]: Maekawa stands 179.9cm (around 6 feet). That's very tall for a woman in ''general'', more so for a Japanese girl.

** [[Yuka Iguchi]]: Yashiro Hoshimiya (It's [[To Aru Majutsu no Index|Index]]! Except in a spacesuit! And claims she's an esper!)

** [[Kana Hanazawa]]: [[The Danza|Hanazawa]] (heh... [[Sarcasm Mode|thank you]], [[The Nicknamer|Maekawa]])

* [[The Nicknamer]]: Maekawa seems to like giving people names that she's very comfortable with. To date, Ryuuko is "Ryuushi" {{spoiler|(courtesy of Erio)}}, Makoto is "[[New Transfer Student|Tenkousei]]" and that minor baseball player character is "[[Kana Hanazawa|Hana]][[The Danza|zawa]]".

* [[Not the Fall That Kills You]]: Erio fell off a bridge when attempting to recreate the famous "ET Flying Bike" scene, breaking her leg in the process. {{spoiler|Makoto broke his arm when they did the same thing together.}}

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Meme is 39 years old. She looks -- [[Adult Child|and acts]] -- like she's in her late teens.

** She turns 40 in episode 5. That's enough to make her copy Erio.

** At the end of volume 3, Yashiro [[Earthbound|tries PK Starstorm]] on Makoto. {{spoiler|The ensuing meteorite leaves quite a mark on him.}}

* [[Social Services Does Not Exist]]: If it did here, Erio would've been taken away a long time ago and given some psychiatric examinations.

* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Erio looks exactly like her mother except that her [[Curtains Match the Window|hair and eyes]] are light blue compared to her mother's dark blue.

* [[Super Deformed]]: Happens on a fairly regular basis.

** In the last couple of episodes, {{spoiler|Maekawa starts to take it up a notch. She invites Makoto to her house, cooks a meal for him, and they generally spend some quality time together. She invites him back, and he seems to appreciate it...}}

* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: A lot between Makoto and Ryuuko/[[My Name Is Not Durwood|Ryuushi]]

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have (Silvery) Blue Hair]]: Erio. Bonus points for it ''glittering.''

** Meme on the other hand just has a darker shade.
