young girls into hacking
Maybe Dennou Coil doesn't have battles like Noein, but it has a similar feel to it. Both have kids, high tech devices and mysteries
In both these series, the ultimate conflict involves an emotionally damaged girl having to come to terms with her past trauma through the help and friendship of another girl. The latter parts of both series have a similar mood.
Most users will blame me to compare the masterpiece Akira to Denno Coil, but actually they are similar in some points.

Both storylines are focused in young characters (teenagers Tetsuo/Kaneda in Akira; kids Yasako/Isako in Denno Coil) that have a very unusual behavior in their society. They are "rebels", yougsters that goes against the rules of society to acquire more knowledge about a phenomenon (Akira in Akira; Illegals in Denno Coil) and in both animes they surpass a lot of obstacles to decipher the mysteries hidden in their world.

Another highlight on these animes is the drama: The mix of love/jealousy/betrayal/friendship that develops between the characters is well-build and fascinating. Well, enough babbling and watch Denno Coil and Akira, two great sci-fi anime!
In both anime, the world has gone computerized and virtual; and children spend their time in the virtual world. Additionally, the kids are being attacked by a thing that is supposed to protect them: in Dennou Coil, it's Sacchi; and in Dennou Boukenki, it's the Web Knights.
The more i watched dennou coil and eureka seven, the more it reminded me of eachother. the illegals and Coralians seemed so similar. there are even human like ones in dennou coil and eureka seven. Also, the Scub Coral reminded me of the coil domain. i think if you liked dennou coil, you might like eureka seven.
Kids who run around town while getting into lots of adventure and whose actions then affect the wider world? Seems like Dennou Coil and Chocolate Underground have something in common.

Dennou Coil, though, is a very developed story about kids with high tech gizmos getting caught up in a technological "war" while in Chocolate Underground, the kids try to make war with the tyrannical leader of the country.

tech - kids - intelligent conversations - good humor
Zettai Shounen and Dennou Coil involve children investigating unusual events related to rumors and urban myths/folktales of their respective locales. What is regarded as "real" is questioned in both stories, and the key to solving the mysteries is locked in the protagonist's murky past.
Denno Coil and Kakurenbo focus on a group of children and their efforts to unravel the truth behind urban legends. Both take place in worlds filled with bizarre events with the idea of playing a game being present. Denno Coil has plenty of light hearted moments, though, while Kakurenbo is considerably darker, stranger, and downward tragic.
High quality sci-fis. There aren`t much similarities except the most important thing:the unique atmosphere is present in both.

The Ghost in the Shell series, specifically the 'Stand Alone Complex', and Denno Coil feature worlds where the internet has been heavily integrated into society. Each anime shares this feature; however, both take drastically different perspectives. Ghost in the Shell is what some would call a 'hard' science fiction, whereas, under the same scrutiny, Denno Coil would be considered a 'soft' science fiction. I think the adjectives 'hard' and 'soft' to a lot to describe the differences between the anime in terms of art, sound, story, and animation. For example, Ghost in the Shell takes the perspective of agents of the government who have cybernetic implants which they use to kill the bad guys. Denno Coil takes the perspective of children who frequently play games, and solve puzzles. In both cases connecting to the network causes an entire meta-world to open up for the characters to explore. People who enjoyed either of these anime should be able to find some enjoyment in the other for the above mentioned reasons.
Both series are about cyberspace in the near future.
Magical Slice of Life Adventure. Plus both are excellent quality in terms of animation and story!
Very much the same premise, a bunch of kids find glitches in a program that is connected to the real world.

In .hack,the virtual world is an MMORPG,in denno coil,the virtual world is accessed by wearing cyber glasses,both worlds have big mysteries and urban legends concerning their creations that the characters try to figure out,that's just the start,there's more similarities but i don't want to spoil the show,i'll let you discover them.
Denno coil has more action and comedy (the comedy is very present in the first half of the show,it almost completely disapears in the second half) while .hack has a slower pace.
Brave Story and Denno Coil both deal with a "normal" child thrust into a world that is half real, half make-believe -- but which nevertheless is dangerous. Themes of alienation, fear, a personal sense of failure, responsibility and the essential fragility of a seemingly strong individual are all present in both anime.
The "encodes" used in Dennou Coil are very reminiscent of the enigmatic style of alchemy seen in Fullmetal Alchemist. Interestingly the symbols and patterns, despite being apparently pretty much just magic, are justified as "science" and technology in both series. Like Fullmetal Alchemist, Dennou Coil is also very much a "coming of age" story that has somewhat darker tones occasionally, especially towards the end. I would recommend that fans of Fullmetal Alchemist watch an episode or two to see if they enjoy it.
Other than similar twin ponytail hair styles, Re-1 Mayer seems like a future Amasawa Yuko when she gets older...in another world...of course.
