Is it real? Or is it Memorex?

I’ve been watching episodes of an anime called “Denno Coil” (which translates, I believe, as “Circle of Children”) which are set in a world where augmented reality (in this case, via digital overlays to human vision by means of special technoglasses) is commonplace and mainstream. The show is a about of group of kids who tinker with, game, and generally hack the AR system.

It’s a thousand kinds of awesome. I’m hugely into the AR concept, and the makers of this show clearly Get It.

Plus, the artwork and effects are top notch.

To clear the palate, I’ve also been watching Di Gi Charat episodes. The juxtaposition of these two shows is .. jarring, but fun.
