NIS America (NISA), the American subsidiary of the Nippon Ichi Software game company, announced at its New York Comic Con panel on Sunday that it will release the Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko television anime series under the name Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl .

The anime adapts Hitoma Iruma's light novels of the same name. The story revolves around an ordinary high school boy named Makoto Niwa and his cousin, a mysterious girl named Erio Tōwa.

Akiyuki Shinbo (And Yet the Town Moves, Madoka Magica) served as chief director for the series, and Yukihiro Miyamoto (Maria Holic, Arakawa Under the Bridge, Madoka Magica) served as series director at studio SHAFT. The 13-episode series stars Asuka Ōgame as Erio and Miyu Irino as Makoto, as well as Emiri Kato as Ryuko Mifune, Mai Fuchigami as Maekawa-san, and Ai Nonaka as Meme Towa.
