| 12:44am | A circle of children goes round and round, round and round | | | | Owen has seen through Dennou Coil as one would read and comprehend a research paper. The verdict: rejected for not making a significant contribution to the exploration of those who would sooner run from their demons than exorcise them. There is no scale for fear, but much like a scale it is used to... | | |
| 1:04am | Owen on Dennou Coil |  | | | After reading what Owen wrote about Dennou Coil today, I feel inclined to agree, but his specific arguments seem lacking. When I say that [Dennou Coil] bears similarity to [Haibane Renmei], I’m talking about how the conflict between the characters in the main arc are depicted. Isako’s determination... | | |
| 3:30pm | 2007’s #5: Dennou Coil — Retreading Old (Home) territory |  | | | I’ve always found honesty to be the best policy, which is why I’m going to state upfront that I found Dennou Coil to be horribly overrated. Not in the “this is bad, what were you thinking” sense, but the “this is good, but there were other infinitely superior shows this... | | |

| 1:00pm | Dennou Coil finished. |  | | | Right when I finished the first episode, I made a promise to myself to write about Dennou Coil when I finished it, even if it was not to my liking. I’m glad to have not to evoke that promise to myself. Thus ends my massive Dennou Coil marathon, lasting over 2 days. Quite a lot of people felt... | | |
| 5:15am | Dennou Coil ep. 9 |  | | | [ Episode 9: Miss Michiko From the Other Side ]Damn this episode was sizzling! I didn’t know what to expect from this duel but I was blown away. Firstly, the ghost stories about Michiko were awesome. Haraken’s in particular was especially good and those wraith faces were freaky as well (I... | | |
| 2:29pm | Playing Civilization with your beard. |  | | | Imagine playing nuke war on your own cheek. I’m starting to fall in love with Dennou Coil more and more. There’s one episode where everyone actually plays Civilization with some weird living beard virus they all caught and it even progresses to nuclear and interplanetary wars. God, imagine... | | |
| 5:01am | Dennou Coil ep. 8 |  | | | [ Episode 8: The Summer Festival and the Duel ]For the most part, this episode was pretty cute. With a festival going on we got to see Yasako, Fumie, and Isako in their kimonos and I must say they all looked very cute. Though Isako’s look was more beautiful than cute. The other parts of | | |
| 8:30pm | Isako rocks. |  | | | Wow, she’s freaking awesome. I can understand now why 0rion awarded her the “Best Use of Portals” award. So yeah, I’m a bit late to jump on the Dennou Coil bandwagon, but so far, I’m finding it real awesome. The creativity in applying the concept is definitely inspiring.... | | |
| 6:53pm | The best anime of 2007 | | | | Now that 2007 is over and 2008 is just beginning I think that I’ll add my two cents into the mix. Overall, I felt that 2007 was a pretty good year for anime, the trend of Moe centered anime continues, and the popularity of Maho Shojo anime in Japan seems to be slightly increasing. While I try... | | |
