Anime Article by L.B. Bryant
For me 2014 is the year for magical girls mania!

Red Data Girl
RDG レッドデータガール
Anime Review by Brian Cirulnick
I can never wear a watch. When I was in elementary school I tried for a while. The watch didn't even last a week before it was broken. In fact, anything that stays attached to my body eventually breaks because I'm quite the klutz and bang into stuff, which invariably breaks watches, phones, and anything that doesn't have the ability to grow back the way my skin does.
So, naturally I empathized with the main character of this series, who zaps any electronic item she touches.
Izumiko is a quiet, shy, mousey, ignorant, pathetic, sheltered hillbilly who has no idea of what's inside of her and what power it holds. She's grown up having everyone take care of her, so she's never done anything on her own. And this drives Miyuki, her newest protector, to teen-angst levels of frustration as he has to re-arrange his life to serve her. Of course, he doesn't know the whole story yet either.
