Not enough boobs to make it over here. Luckily Siren Visual over in Australia has provided an affordable English language release.

Region 4.
Luckily region free DVD players (or ones where you can input a sequence of button presses to change it to region free) are quite cheap. And even easier, there is free legal media software that bypasses any of the region checking to play a DVD on the computer. |

I think this was once discussed on ANNcast.
With very few exceptions, the license-holder will only license for broadcast. The Australian release is an exception --- basically, the owner of the company went and camped out on their front-door until they agreed to license it to him. |

Why am I constantly being teased about this show. It isn't fair. This has to be a cool event and inspirational for future developers. I got a question would Denno Coil be the first show covering AR? I was reading Animation magazine and they mentioned a show that got picked up from some country and they stated it was the first AR show. Of course I'm like, NO WAY 'Denno Coil' was. Hell, before Google glasses and stuff Denno Coil had that field covered before we got there. Help me out here.
Funny and we just got some news on a guide book for spots that appear in anime that are real. |

They were kids playing games that were essentially a form of augmented reality way back in Lain.

Denno Coil is one of the very few masterpieces of the 2000s.
LOL,. not like it was super appreciated by the Japanese, no moe and no fanservice = no watch no sale. If there is something the west love is complex stories, Dennoi Coil is one of them, much of its appreciation back then came and comes from western fans actually. |

Aide from Madoka, Dennou Coil is the other anime that really impacted me on storytelling in anime. Seeing it become relevant again brings tears to my eyes... ;w;

This makes me feel so good knowing this anime still has an influence. Hopefully we get a release in the States sometime.

I take it you mean licensing outside of Japan? Along with the original 2007 DVD release, there was a Blu-ray re-release in 2011? I suspect it has less to do with the predilections of the rights holder than with the lack of sufficient audience overseas to make the costs of marketing and the like worthwhile. Shows about children, no matter how good they may be, have little appeal to the audience that buys discs in R1. Notice how other excellent shows like Kemono no Sou-ja Erin were never licensed for a disc release here either. Meanwhile a substantial number of ecchi comedies do seem get licensed every season.
Absolutely. It pains me that Iso worked so many years to get his script produced then vanished from the industry. I give Madhouse a lot of credit for choosing to invest in his vision. I'm sure it cost them quite a bit of money to produce Coil, and I suspect even with sales averaging about 2,500 discs per release, they probably were lucky if they made much of a profit. The BD box sold a bit under 2,000 copies. |

Sorry, but this myth, usually hiding some nationalistic or culture or aesthetic bashing agenda, needs needs to be struck down whenever it's brought up. Moe or fanservice don't guarantee video sales at all, where they include some of the worst sellers every year, and there are always best selling shows that defy this criterion. The correct formula is: moe, fanservice, mecha, sports, fighting, action, drama, romance, etc, etc = buy manga and DVR and watch, no sale Last edited by configspace on Sat Jan 18, 2014 10:15 am; edited 1 time in total |

I agree 100% for the first half. The second half stays so heavy for so long that it kind of wears out its welcome for me -- not a matter of storytelling so much as of tone. Maybe if they'd found room for just one more lighthearted episode before the end... |
