I heard the dvds + bds for Denpa aren't selling that well

It's either Denpa isn't that popular in Japan or everyone spent their money on Madoka

I get the feeling that it is both.

Madoka dominated the charts for like a month even with the earthquake

Well, it was a paradigm breaking series. "Denpa Onna" just does not have that kind of weight behind it. It reminds me of a more active version of "Zettai Shounen."

OT, but what is 'charming' in Modoka?

It pretends to be another one of those happy mahou shoujo shows then slaps you in the face and steals your lover

It's different from the norm and that makes it refreshing. Oh, and there's actually a catch to getting magic powers

BOT, why is Erio referred to a "denpa onna?" She does not exactly get into the whole "wave" thing.

Because 電波 can also mean crazy. (Thanks, Lareth)

She does not seem so "crazy" to me as she does as being "off-keel."

it can also mean Electro magnetic wave.

I know that much. It is more that she is slightly eccentric over any of those meanings. It is enough to make her socially dysfunctional, but I think the society around her is partly to blame as well.

Ainsoph, if one day, b0mb rolls himself in a blanket, knocks at your door and say "I'm an alien!", wouldn't you be annoyed? In my case, I would beat him up (because it's b0mb).

I make a HUGE difference between b0mb3r and Touwa Erio. It is the difference between night and day as far as I am concerned. Erio does not spam and do random things (for the most part) for one.
