The post at OGIUE MAXIAX is an old news, but I meant to mark it as a perfect example of what a trained critic sees in Dennou Coil. Myself, I suddenly suspended it at ep.08, right after giving it accolades. Then, the watchings quietly continued at a rate of one episode in three months and crawled [...]

Relevant documentation indeed. Although, ANN must have made a translation error. If Dennou Coil was based on a novel, that would be both surprising and awesome. I mean, if this were true, this would have been common knowledge. If you believe Wikipedia, then that novel series began one month before the anime first [...]

Dennou Coil was really one of those shows were I just kicked back and enjoyed it for the spectacle.

So I’m taking iknight’s advice and actually looking at who is directing these shows because all my snarky comments aside, I probably should be. Tower of Druaga: I’ll be fair about this one.
