Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Dennou Coil (電脳コイル, Cyber Coil in English), also known as Coil — A Circle of Children, is an Anime First sci-fi series animated by Madhouse and made its original run on NHK in 2007.Dennou Coil is set 20 Minutes into the Future (in 2026, to be exact) in the fictional Japanese town of Daikoku, which is the testing ground for an Augmented Reality project that involves crafting a cyberspace that overlaps the entire town. By using special glasses, people are able to interact with this overlapping cyberspace, allowing them to carry on 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, laptop) into one set of non-intrusive glasses. With the appearances of 'glitches' in this augmented reality, a thriving hacker culture soon emerges amongst the children of the city.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The anime tells the story of Yuko Okonogi (nicknamed "Yasako"), a girl who moves into Daikoku together with her mother, little sister Kyoko and her virtual pet Densuke (an augmented reality dog that only people with glasses can see) when her father gets a job transfer there. Upon arriving in the town, she finds herself integrated 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 Cyber Detective Agency. This leads to later encounters with the enigmatic Yuko Amasawa (nicknamed "Isako"), a girl with abnormally powerful hacking skills who seems to be hunting for computer viruses in the system known as "illegals" for her own unknown ends, and discoveries tying the various characters' pasts with the truths behind the city's cyber-network...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Dennou Coil could be described as "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex meets Hayao Miyazaki"; an extremely charming, high-quality story of children, for children, in a sci-fi setting designed to display the effects of this new technology that still manages to keep some 'magical' aspects. Despite winning several prizes, reaching cult hit status and being critically considered to be one of the best anime of 2007, the series was only licensed in 2011 by Tokuma Shoten for use in an iPhone app (since discontinued) and (after much negotiation) for DVD release in Australia. It finally got a North American release in 2016 (under the title Den-noh Coil) by Sentai Filmworks under its Maiden Japan label. | |

Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl | |
| Dennou Coil / int_10dffb47 | comment |
Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: One explanation of what "Miss Michiko" is entails an onryo-ish death and onryo-ish behavior, but as the story is told, a pure black figure is used to represent her ghost instead of typical onryo garb and appearance, probably to liken her to an Illegal. | |

Beard of Evil: Illegal beards show up halfway through the show. It's infectious. And sentient. Then the kids find them building their own civilizations. The different characters' beards eventually start digi-nuclear warfare with each other using Inter-Facial Ballistic Missiles. We couldn't make this up if we tried. They eventually perform a collective Heel–Face Turn after the ensuing holocaust. | |

Mohs Scale of Sci-Fi Hardness: While the theory behind the glasses themselves is very plausible (an accidental engineering discovery led to more efficient electrical and data transmission, allowing for the creation of a widespread augmented virtual reality), the fantasy elements present in the net are certainly not. The manga version however is a lot softer in this regard. | |

Wise Beyond Their Years: Isako. While it appears to be played straight through out most of the series, the more you learn about Isako, Yasako, and "4423", and how they all relate to one another the more it becomes clear that Isako is really just a very lonely and angry girl. By the end of the series though, each of the three main protagonists (including Haraken) could be said to qualify, especially Yasako. | |

Central Theme | |
| Dennou Coil / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: The biggest one is the emotional distance between people. Be it lying, masking your feelings, lack of communication, or overuse of the glasses dulling your sense of reality, these paths between us shape how we interact with others, but there's a chance to cross that gap and reestablish emotional bonds if we're willing to try. The dead still influence the living, even if they're gone. Remembering them gives us a connection with the departed, but it must not be your only connection, and if it grows too strong or is twisted, it will cause nothing but suffering until they learn to move on. | |

Instant Runes | |
| Dennou Coil / int_63d8e17d | comment |
Instant Runes: The metatags seem to function a lot like this, even though the setting is non-magical. Subverted with Isako who actually draws patterns that perform all kinds of functions, like dealing with Searchies. Manifested later on with Imago. | |

Win to Exit: If you go deep enough into Obsolete Space to notice A Glitch in the Matrix, you really shouldn't take your glasses off before you walk out, or your mind will end up trapped there. And the authorities will not only do everything they can to keep anyone from even attempting to rescue you, but are engaged in an ongoing effort to destroy those spaces knowing that will kill everyone trapped inside, deeming them acceptable losses. | |

VillainDecay | |
| Dennou Coil / int_7bb844ec | comment |
Villain Decay: the Searchies start out as the most terrifying thing the children face, being disastrously dumb and constantly out to get them because the kids carry modified or otherwise unauthorized items. But upon the reveal that Haraken's aunt Tamako is authorized to control 3 searchies and even Haraken himself is able to having limited command over them, they become slightly less of a nuisance. And then by the time the Searchies 2.0 get released, which have even more capabilities than the first iteration, all we see of the original searchies anymore are the ones Tamako controls that help the main heroes. | |

Dangerous Forbidden Technique | |
| Dennou Coil / int_8f0dc93c | comment |
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Imago, which enhances the already-awesome capabilities of the glasses with a Technopathic Unusual User Interface - you can manipulate Space with exponentially greater effect and without performing any outward physical actions. Price tag: getting hit with metatags or a Searchie formatting beam normally just wrecks your personal data. Imago users suffer brain damage and heart disease. The developers actually sealed Imago like an unwanted application for this very reason, and even Isako explicitly warns Yasako not to overuse it, or else risk death. | |

| Dennou Coil / int_c313d43a | comment |
True Companions: At the end of the series, Isako tells Yasako what basically amounts to "We may have had too many differences to be 'friends,' but we'll always be Nakama." | |

Shout-Out | |
| Dennou Coil / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Most everyone (even Searchieat the end!) uses Mikuru beams, even if they call them megane-beams. Obsolete Space seems to resemble the strange, otherworldly dimension in the Twilight Zone episode "Little Girl Lost" (or the Other Side in the movie Poltergeist.) It's even said that the souls of the dead wind up in Obsolete Space, making it seem a lot like a realm between death and life). Kyoko's kidnapping and Yasako's having to rescue her with the help of the family dog even resembles the rescue scene from "Little Girl Lost." | |

Ridiculous Future Inflation: Parodied in Mega-baa's store. 10 seconds of Megane-beam supposedly costs three million yen (roughly 30,000 US dollars.) Fumie pays with pocket change.It turns out Mega-baa is just being weird by multiplying all the numbers she says by ten thousand. She asks for a total of 6.2 million yen, but the register actually says the total is 620 yen (about five dollars), and Fumie pays with recognizable Japanese coins that add up to that amount. | |
