Dennō Coil (電脳コイル, Dennō Koiru?, lit. Computer Coil), Coil - A Circle of Children, is a Japanese animation science fiction series depicting a near future where Augmented Reality (AR) technology has just begun to enter the mainstream. The series takes place in the fictional Daikoku City, a hotbed of AR development. It follows a group of children as they use illegal AR visors to unravel the mysteries of their half real, half Internet environment. The world displayed in the AR visors contains games, virtual pets, and also internet viruses. The children collaboratively interact with and reshape the digital landscape using software tools.

seem good. i like the drawing/animation style. it remind me of Zettai Shounen somehow (the story). will go try d/l it. dunno got time to watch it or not. already filter alot of anime that i thought im goin to watch due to no time.
one thing to take note is that the animation and colours aren't supposed to look top notch. But the meshing of digital and cyberspace with real life is a selling point for me.
it's only the first episode but already a lot of cool things take place. like how you hide from the Search sphere (Kyuu-chan) by drawing a chalk(?) circle and standing inside it
like how the inventory bag resembles the ones in digital MMORPGs , the fishing rod being pulled out of a pouch
the burning question now is this:

Well, i watched it. Wat i can say is thier animation and colours are great, atleast better than crappy Sola n most low-middle budget anime. (I wonder why u say it doesnt suppose to look top notch though). goin to drop few anime for this one.

Very interesting anime indeed. Something new and I love the grandma.. Never seen any grandma as high tech as that granma. Good animation will make me follow the whole series. lol
Currently Ureshii is just subbing it till ep7, so its not till ep8 yet. But i really love the animation of this anime. The story aint too bad either, just get a bit confusing with all the buggy terms
