“You know, I’m all for giving the animators enough chance to catch up and all, but I’m beginning to get really pissed off when there hasn’t been any Saiunkoku Monogatari or Dennou Coil for FOUR SUCCESSIVE WEEKS! Because yes, this week is yet another recap. This time, told in the perspective of Akira.
Seriously, I’m getting Wolf’s Rain flashbacks here. Thank god the beginning of this episode had at least a bit of new footage.”
At least, that was what I was going to write, until the end of the episode started showing some more new footage. First of all, Fumie discovers that Akira has been spying on her all along. While this was nice and fun, the next scene was what really surprised me: remember the reporter-like guy? He finally shows a bit more of himself when he talks to Haraken.
He really knows a lot about both Illegals and Haraken himself. He also tells him something very interesting: if Haraken continues his research, he’ll end up just like Kanna. The name “Dennou Coil” also has been chosen for a reason, it seems. This seems to be the event, item or phenomena that everything centres around.
We also see a new cyber-pet introduced in this episode: another cat with hands as ears. The question remains: who is her owner? Some heavy hints are pointed to the reporter-like guy, but it can be anyone at this point.
Let’s hope the next episode will be a real one.]]>
Dennou Coil – A Circle of Children – 14
Wait… doesn’t the cat w/ ears belong to Akira?
Yes it does. I was referring to a second cat with ears, a pink one.
I think the female cat belongs to the reporter.
Looking forward to the next episode. ^_^ Yasako looks like she’s to get cornered by three guys, more stuff on her past, and that little boy looks almost like Haraken!? O.o
The breaks were planned way in advance. If you even bothered looking at the credits you can clearly tell this show is NOT stuck in production problems in the least bit. Tell me, honestly, if a show that doesn’t outsource a single bit of its production to another studio has production problems.
It’s called “The Reality of Baseball”.
God, the animators and everyone put in the fucking finest effort I’ve seen this side of anime for a kid’s TV series and when the *TV station* throws in a break and forces them to have a recap (the non-episode), people don’t even bother looking up anything and blame the goddamn animators. -_-
