Dennou Coil (電脳コイル?) 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 called Dennou Mégané ("computer spectacles") 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.

Dennou Coil is the directional series debut of famed Japanese animator Mitsuo Iso, in development for over a decade. It is set to air on NHK Educational on May 12th, 2007. Due to the animators involved in its production and its unusually high-profile television broadcast time slot, Dennou Coil is highly anticipated by fans of animation production quality.
