Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl

Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl filters adolescent loneliness through offbeat domestic comedy about a boy who scores his youth and a futon-wrapped self-described alien.

Synopsis
The Anime Lad

Makoto Niwa moves to the city to live with his aunt and begins tracking whether each experience improves his imagined adolescent life. He then discovers her daughter Erio, who wraps herself in a futon and claims to be an alien. His scoring system was not designed for this household.

Super Eyepatch Fox

With his parents working overseas, Makoto moves in with his aunt. He hopes to collect the experiences of an ideal adolescence and records gains or losses as points. Meeting Erio, his aunt’s futon-wrapped daughter who claims an extraterrestrial identity, changes the calculation immediately.

Gigguku

Makoto wants a measurable and perfectly ordinary adolescence, so naturally he moves into the least measurable house possible. His aunt has hidden the existence of her daughter, and Erio appears wrapped in a futon while claiming to be an alien. The normal teenage plan is finished!

Father's Basement

Makoto’s point system could become a tiresome narration trick, and the household proudly resists normal conversation. The setup works when those quirks collide. He wants an ideal adolescence he can calculate, while Erio’s futon and alien claim make every ordinary expectation impossible to score.
