Dennō Coil ( Jap. 電脳コイル , Denno Koiru , dt "cyber. Coil ") is a science fiction - Anime television series , also called light novel and manga has been implemented.
Daikoku is an imaginary Japanese city that has an extensive virtual infrastructure. Augmented Reality (AR) has become part of the main actors' daily life. The elementary school children use their AR glasses and hacking skills to track down the city's secrets: They look for valuable metabugs , investigate unexplained traffic accidents and hunt down illegals who are rumored to be the key to another world.
action
In 2026, eleven years after the introduction of wireless Internet-connected AR glasses, Yūko Okonogi, known as Yasako, moves to Daikoku with her family. The city is a technology center and there are virtual beings and spaces everywhere. Yūko joins Coil , a detective agency run by her grandmother. The members are children who use virtual tools and pets to search for other missing cyber pets. She meets the same name Yūko Amasawa, called Isako. This is a mysterious hacker who appears to have unique skills. Isako looks for the so-called “illegals”, computer viruses that can only survive in outdated virtual spaces. Rumor has it that the illegals are made up of kirabugs , with whose help one can summon the powerful cyberist Michiko , who fulfills wishes and demands victims.
title
Dennō is a prefix used to distinguish the virtual world from the real one; a "Dennō cat" is therefore not a real cat, but a program that appears as a cat for those who wear AR glasses. The virtual world can also be heard by the children, but not perceptible. Dennō literally means "electronic brain " and as a prefix "computer, cyber".
