Dennou Coil became so much more than I initially thought. I always welcome the nifty technological advances and quirks - they're so, very neat. I bet techy nerds, especially hackers, would absolutely love watching things unfold in this anime. They go through a lot of "internet talk". It was definitely fun.
Gadgets and events I really enjoyed:
The "beard" episode where they were able to view the societies growing at a super speedy rate. It reminded me of that Simpsons episode where Lisa grows a world from her cavity submerged in cola. Interpersonal warfare!
When they talk to each other by cellphones, they simply do the telephone hand gesture.
Then there was the time where Fumie had to utilize the old, dial-type phone. That was quite hilarious.
Of course: Cyberpets. Mojo and Dennsuke were extremely cute, and it was always cool to see that they weren't seen with the naked eye; they're only seen when you have the cyberglasses on.
Megabaa! She was always chuckle-worthy. She displayed the typical comic-relief "grandma" role in that she's forgetful, and has frequent back problems. However, she was super cool in that she's able to materialize a lot of programs and had answers to every cybernet problem. And there's so much more! Such as the combination of delicious sound effects + animation of the formatting devices (Satchi, 2.0). Yuko Amasawa (Isako) also had her cool encoding moments and projecting accuracy. Blah! I can't stop listing the fun things in this anime.
I think the main word I'd have to use to describe Dennou Coil is "cool". This word isn't to be overlooked, especially since it's not a word I use often. There's so much adventure here, with added mystery throughout (though the mysterious 'feel' didn't predominate until later episodes).
No character stood out, really, but it's the character relationships that keep the ball rolling. Music seemed to be used sparingly. I found that some melodies playing during certain scenes was unfitting. The OP and ED song was very nice though. Spectacular art and animation here, except the lack of detailed facial features; but this provided a more... "non-cartoony" approach which I favoured.
Dennou Coil definitely gives you that Studio Ghibli or Hayao Miyazaki "feel". The adventure is enticing and things end fulfillyingly (that's not even a word!). | |
