About Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl (電波女と青春男) deserves a look (2011). The setup goes like this. In short: Makoto Niwa just moved to the city to live with his aunt Meme after his parents were reassigned to work overseas. He is perfectly fine with that, saying it will give him the chance to live the dream life of an adolescent boy.

Along the way, he keeps track of the things he does by assigning "points" to them—positive or negative—and adds them up on a regular basis to grade his adolescent life. Then he learns Meme has a hidden daughter (and self-proclaimed alien) named Erio. He stumbles on her rolling around by the front door of Meme's house wrapped up in a futon.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Erio Touwa (Asuka Oogame) and Makoto Niwa (Miyu Irino) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
