Dennou Coil= Hayoa Miyazaki at his Computer

Hope no one minds if I create this topic, but I just saw the first three episodes of this anime yesterday and I freaking love it. It is just, WOW. The animation is awesome, the characters are awesome, the storyline is awesome, the music is...relatively interesting, everything is just amazing about it. Dennou Coil is highly recommendable!

I should really get around to watching this one.

I've seen it—it's good.

I found that the plot kind of fell apart towards the end, but it's not bad.

Sounds interesting. I'll watch it when I get the chance.

The local university's anime club showed this, most people liked it...without getting into spoilers, new viewers should be aware that there are some drastic tone shifts, so the first few episodes may not be entirely representative.

Yeah, I was kind of guessing that the later episodes would get more episodic as the series continued. Without revealing too much, it is a matter of Darker and Edgier or Cerebus Syndrome?

Cerebus Syndrome is closer. The serious elements are actually present from the start, but it takes a while for them to show just how serious they really are.

It doesn't become Darker and Edgier in the way we usually use the trope, but it does introduce some rather eerie elements later on.

GIVE ME... GIVE ME...

For anyone who's interested in watching the anime it's available here [1]. Like I said, its highly worth checking out.

So I just finished episode 13 and I'm pretty sure that's when the Cerebus Syndrome started to kick in. It's starting to get a bit darker but it's still pretty much the same thing with Miyazaki's films. I think it fits nicely alongside Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away.

What...the...fuck?

To bring up a long dead thread for an obscure anime for just a sec, I saw the beard episode.

Nothing has any right to be as mind-bogglingly silly and yet, heartwarming? How the I don't even.

That aside, it's been a great series so far with some interesting mystery. It's crazy how much the kids have grown on me. It helps they actually act a lot more like kids than most anime out there. It's not overly cloying, but it's still cute without falling into the pitfalls of Moe either.

The simple premise yields a surprising amount of thoughtfulness on how this whole system works, and some obviously fantasy-ish and soft science aside, it's not terribly implausible and heck managed to predict Pokemon Go 9 years early.

I guess it's much more than the sum of its parts.

Necroing to remind people this show went up on Netflix to promote Orbital Children.

I remember watching bits of this in the Philippines many moons ago. I think it was in AXN Philippines.

Huh, I didn't know it showed on cable there, and I'm from there... The more you know!

With regards to the anime, I watched it recently, and I liked the OP, the ED, and Yasako and Isako's dynamic.
