Trivia / Den-noh Coil

• Bad Export for You: The series was available for download (with English subtitles) worldwide via an iPhone app, but each episode costs $2.99 and the quality was mediocre. Said service has since been discontinued. Until Sentai Filmworks picked up the license, the only way the series was available in English was on subtitled DVDs from Siren Visual in Region 4 (Australia). As of February 2022, the show is now available on Netflix along with creator Mitsuo Iso's next project, The Orbital Children.
• Defictionalization:
  • Fans of the show got some serious déjà vu upon the announcement of project Google Glass.
  • Google Glass didn't become as influential as people initially thought it would be, but Dennou Coil fans will find Pokémon GO to be hauntingly familiar....
  • And now, there's Microsoft HoloLens, which is a lot closer to how the glasses work in the show.
• Genius Bonus: Dennou is the archaic Japanese term for Computer that has long fallen out of use. It literally means "electronic brain". A similar word is still used in Chinese (Diànnǎo).
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: Australia has subtitled DVDs, and it's coming out on Blu-Ray in Japan which may be an acceptable option if you've memorized the English dialog by heart and only want to see the anime again, since Japan and the US shares the same region code for Blu-Ray.
• No Export for You: This was the case from when the iPhone app got discontinued up until Sentai Filmworks picked up the series for their Maiden Japan line. Unlike Siren Visual's release, the latter version was dubbed into English.
