Synopsis:

Dennou Coil is set in the fictional Japanese town of Daikoku, the testing ground for an Augmented Reality project that involves crafting a cyberspace that overlaps the entire town. By using specific glasses, people are able to interact with this overlapping cyberspace, allowing them to carry on with their normal lives in addition to being permanently connected to the internet through their glasses, essentially concentrating all modern portable media devices (phones, MP3 players, Laptops) into one set of non-intrusive glasses. With the appearance of 'glitches' in this augmented reality, a thriving hacker culture soon emerges amongst the children of the city. Dennou Coil tells the story of Yasako, a girl who moves to Daikoku together with her mother and little sister Kyoko with her virtual pet Densuke (an augmented reality dog that only people with glasses can see). Upon arriving in the town, she finds herself intergrated into the glasses community of the local children, and discovers that her shrewd grandmother has become a focal point for a major club of these children, called the Coil Cyberinvestigation Agency. This leads to later encounters with the enigmatic Isako, a girl with abnormally powerful hacking skills who seems to be hunting for computer viruses in the system known as 'illegals'. Dennou Coil could be described as 'Ghost In The Shell' meets Hayao Miyazaki; an extremely charming, high quality story about children, for children, in a sci-fi setting designed to display the effects of this new technology that still manages to keep some fantasy elements.

Imagine if the internet was projected over the living world and you interacted with it using a portable device glasses and visors which connect you to an augmented reality. In 2026, this technology becomes reality... Yuko Okonogi moves with her family to Daikoku, home of an ever expanding tech network which makes up the interactive virtual world. Her grandmother runs an agency to investigate missing children who appear to have vanished from the real world and entered the citys Dennou literally meaning electric brain a term used to differentiate between the virtual and real. A hacker culture is emerging amongst the children of the city Yasako is soon introduced to Isako, whose powers for hunting computer viruses known as illegals belie an agenda that might have sinister motives.

Dennou Coil (aka: Coil - A Circle of Children) is an Anime First sci-fi series animated by studio Madhouse and made it's original run on Japanese television in 2007.
