About Red Data Girl

Meet Red Data Girl (RDG レッドデータガール), a drama, romance and supernatural anime by P.A.WORKS (2013). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: Shy 15-year-old Izumiko has a hard time making personal connections. Oddly, she can’t use computers or cell phones, either—they mysteriously crash when she touches them.

As things develop, when her childhood bully Miyuki shows up at the shrine where she was raised, their lives become involuntarily entwined. Izumiko learns she is the last vessel of a goddess—and Miyuki has to serve as her dutiful guardian. (Source: Crunchyroll) Note: A modern fantasy based on Japanese Shinto legends.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Izumiko Suzuhara (Saori Hayami) and Miyuki Sagara (Kouki Uchiyama) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
