Abstract is: Coil - A Circle of Children, known in Japan as Den-noh Coil (電脳コイル, Dennō Koiru, lit. Cyber Coil) is a Japanese science fiction anime television series created, directed and written by Mitsuo Iso and produced by Madhouse. It aired 26 episodes from May to December 2007 on NHK Educational TV. It is a pioneering work that depicts daily life in a world where AR (augmented reality) technology, in which layers created by computer networks are superimposed on the real world, and MR (mixed reality) technology, in which high-resolution holograms are projected onto the real world and can be manipulated. It has received high praise among Japanese science fiction anime for its fusion of old-fashioned Japanese scenery and urban legends, a modern version of the Japanese folklore Kaidan, with a futuristic worldview, and for its story of children playing in an augmented reality world using a device called "Den-noh Megane" (cyber glasses), as if anticipating the subsequent emergence of smart glasses. Den-noh Coil has won several awards, including the Grand Prize of the 29th Nihon SF Taisho Award, the 39th Seiun Award in 2008 and the Excellence Prize for animation in the 11th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2007.
