| Okay, I'm interested. Count me in! |

| Quite far away but from what the synopsis says this definitely seems interesting. Probably a show to look forward to in the future :) |
 |
| I remember when this was annonced two years ago. I thought the project died. It's nice that we finally got news on it again, but it's still another two years out. |
 |
| Iso's first directorial work - Dennou Coil, is truly a treasure. Great expectation of this project! |
| The teaser picture kinda gives off mekakucity actors vibes. |
| Finally some news about this. Have been looking forward to it since it was announced. Space anime is always more than welcome. |
| Definitely something to keep our eyes on! I'm glad this project wasn't abandoned. Also love Kenichi Yoshida's character designs, so that's definitely a big plus. |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Hope that after it airs more people learn about Dennou Coil. Shame that such a masterpiece is nearly forgotten nowadays. |
