If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

For currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net

I've heard it used to refer to radio wave(s), and to refer to insane people who hear voices or speak nonsense. The slang usages referring to craziness all use the same kanji as the radio wave usage. The kanji den and pa literally mean electric and wave.

The explanation I've heard is that people think that the waves from cellphones and stuff drive young people to do crazy things. Hence why Denpateki na Kanojo is Electromagnetic Girlfriend in English. But Ecael/Southlight can probably give you a better explanation.

When Southlight or I have time I think one of us will translate a fair amount of this. I can't get to it for a bit though.

I'll do something quick I guess.

アダルトゲームである『雫』が狂気を誘発する源として「毒電波」と表現したことはこれらの影響、特に大槻ケンヂの影響を受けたものであるが、ヒロインの「電波届いた?」という印象的なセリフと共に著名となり、「電波系」をさらに広めることになった。その後、主にオタク系・サブカル系の妄想に対しても用いられるようになった。

In the adult game Shizuku (By leaf), which expressed the trigger of madness as "Dokudenpa" is influenced heavily by the above (omitted), particularly by Ootsuki Kenji (a musician who used the word "denpa" in such context in lyrics and titles), the impressionistic line by the heroine in "Did you get that [denpa]?" and the game both became famous, and the concept of 'denpa kei' has became even more widespread in usage. After that, it has also became used in otaku and sub-culture type kind of delusions.

Light novel of Denpateki na Kanojo?

/edit: Ah, lol. I should pay attention to the discussion before I write something.

What Spazer said is the most correct in that the term became more widely used in the 80s, which is when the effects of electromagnetic waves on the human brain and behavior came to more public attention. I'll probably just translate that whole wiki entry later or have southlight do it.

Incidentally that's why I tried to get him to stream Kizuato, which I liked a bit more than I did Shizuku. Though the latter is kind of the origin of the otaku usage of the term.

I'm not usually a person who re-watches anime, but i recently torrented the blu-ray version of E7, and i swear i'm getting chills.

Also are some anime unaffected by the tsunami? it seems that Zombie and Onii-Chan weren't delayed by much.

Generally only the area the tsunami struck were impacted significantly. Unfortunately the majority of studios (IIRC) are in the Tokyo area, hence were more impacted than others. Places like Eushully's studio up in Hokkaido (wherein they got some quakes and shakes but their "fragile" headquarter "managed to keep the water out" have been unaffected excepted by the sudden drop in food, water, gasoline, and scheduled power outages :p

It airs weekly starting on the 8th.

Edit: Just read this tidbit about [C]:

"Vermillion"
A beautiful young lady who Kimimaro meets in the financial district. Known as an "Asset", she fights alongside him during his "deals" (battles).

What the fuck. I'm starting to have misgivings about this show. =/

Take Pokemon, replace monster training with economics and there you go.

Heh, I just think anime tends to strike for the goldmine more often than not, because of what sells (merchandise, ie. figures and dvd/blurays). Unfortunately this mostly means girls. So what's a good way to make money? Make a show with a lot of girls, as many as possible, and eventually one will strike a chord. Hence Strike Witches and now Infinite Stratos, two shows no one in their right minds would say was "good" but they're money-making goldmines. Even Ecael gives it his thumbs up "because he likes one girl" which is both hilarious and telling at the same time.

There's also, IMO, a dearth of good writing in the type of stuff anime tends to take nowadays. You see a lot of the drab LNs being animated, instead of more challenging and tricky LNs like Zaregoto/Ningen, Ahead, and so on and so forth. The better LNs, no offense, tend to be short, ranging from 1 vols to like 7 vols, which often are crazy hard to animate because most anime only go like 3-5 volumes, which means you have to storyboard/write like mad to try to fit it into a season... you get the idea. Unfortunately this also is why stuff like Steins;Gate/Chaos;Head/Umineko/etc. (good writes/reads) are tough to animate, and thus usually fall apart in anime form. Good writing does not a good anime make - astonishing I know, but they're different mediums.

So what you end up is an industry where the method for making money doesn't necessarily correlate to a "good watch" when comparing it to novels/western TV shows/etc. It's also why anime movies (regardless of genre!) tend to be absolutely phenomenal - when they invest the money and effort to do it, it's usually incredible.

I read back to this post and the note on Ecael's opinion of IS is certainly funny =P, I was like of all people Ecael?
