Den-noh Coil deserves credit for crafting a genuinely unique cyberpunk setting with distinctive elements like glyphs and spatial distortions, and the complex plot threads are ultimately resolved satisfactorily in a final third that is significantly faster and more engaging than what precedes it. ...

Denno Coil reawakened my passion for anime through its flawless execution, distinctive character designs that feel genuinely lifelike, and a cast of imperfect, endearing humans and "ugly-cute" non-humans like Densuke who display remarkable loyalty and heart. My only minor gripes are that some hai...

This is one of the most acclaimed anime series released in the last decade and I’ve been looking forward to watching it for a LONG time so let’s dive right in and see how it holds up Storyline Set in the year 2026, Dennou Coil focuses on a group of young children who use a massively popular new t...

Dennou Coil is a rarity: it's a show driven by pre-teen characters and at a glance seems to be geared towards younger demographic, yet it possessed so much more maturity and depth than many other supposedly "grown-up" shows.No creepy pandering, no annoying stereotypes, and no excessive violence; ...

Dennou Coil presents a profound meditation on the internet as humanity's new frontier, exploring virtual spaces with Mushishi-like contemplation while treating grief and childhood independence with rare maturity and conceptual imagination. The character designs feel dry and lack the creativity fo...

I am willing to bet that most people have never heard of Dennou Coil, because it flew completely under the radar. A lot of really popular anime premiered or were airing in 2007, among them the popular noodle fest Code Geass, quirky Gurren Lagan, and engaging Baccano, and as a result this show did...

Dennou Coil delivers an excellent plot with well-integrated worldbuilding and character relationships, complemented by animation that sets the standard for the medium through seamless CGI and meticulous detail. While the first half feels somewhat drawn out and the second half sidelines certain ch...

"But actually, what is real? Does being able to touch things make them real? If something can't be touched, does that mean it isn't real? What things are really, truly here? What things are actually here for sure?" Technology has, historically, always belonged to the young generation. When a new ...

The plot is masterfully constructed with endless questions and foreshadowing that rewards rewatching, while the sound design and specific characters like Kyoko and Mega-baa bring infectious joy and life to the series. Though I found some characters unrealistically mature for their age—particularl...

This anime respects children's intelligence while delivering mature thematics that remain entertaining for adult audiences. It successfully avoids the repetitive storylines, plot holes, and stereotyped characters typical of children's programming, offering instead a worthwhile experience that sur...

WARNING, MAY CONTAIN MINOR SPOILERS! Dennou Coil Review By: John Fragglepuss Evans Dennou Coil gives an interesting idea of how technology changes the way we live. The line between reality and virtual reality is not clear. What makes something real? That is the big question that you find yourself...

Dennou Coil delivers an incredibly smart and complex script that masterfully explores weighty themes of loss, grief, obsession, and humanity while remaining accessible as a children's show, featuring relatable characters, soft animation reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki's work, and a well-balanced mu...

Dennou Coil: A Circle of Children was an unexpectedly great show, and definitely one of my favorites (if not the most favorite)! This is a story about kids with glasses that allow them to see a digital world mapped on top of reality, and trying to discover the truth behind a virus that emerges fr...

This is an amazing series, with a beautiful art style which stays faithful to the setting in Japan and gives a deep understanding of Japanese culture, weaving in the sci-fi plot around the ancient elements of shrines with torii and traditional architecture. The characterisations are vivid and pur...

Look, Denno Coil has a great story, good characters, a pretty nice soundtrack, and everything you'd expect from a great series. I have no criticisms to offer regarding this show. You should absolutely watch this series, but above all else, there is one absolute reason why: there is an episode whe...

I have seen more depth storytelling in this kid show than in some “Seinen” nowdays. Yes, is a kids show but with such a great story and complex characters that you forgot that is actually for that market. Story 8/10: the mayor problem in this show is the pacing, not even the plot, plot is great, ...

Yasako's voice is remarkably soothing and showcases impressive range from her voice actor, while the character designs remain distinct without resorting to unnatural hair colors like pink. Though the series never reaches the dramatic highs of some other anime and takes liberties with hacking real...

This anime it's a bit complicate to define, but I can just say that is very surprising. With a very deep plot as animes as Evangelion, give to the animation a very interesting point, the intrigue. The way the characters are expossed and how all of them have got their own worries, feelings.. What'...

電脳コイル – Dennou Coil is an excellent and unique science fiction anime that gives a glimpse of what a possible fusion of the real world with the digital world might look like in the near future. In 2007 it was futuristic, but today it seems to be available to everyone tomorrow. The show is credible...

An abnormally mature anime for its cast. I will start my review with what is in my opinion the main theme in this series. You have to pursue reality at all cost even if it is sometime quite harsh. The majority of the cast fall into the illusion of that virtual reality depicted in this series. I w...
