A group known as the Dragon Calvary is dispatched through space and time, searching for the only thing that can stop the invasion: the Dragon's Torque.
In the present, twelve-year old Haruka and her friend Yuu, are contemplating running away from home when they meet a member of the Dragon Calvary named Karasu (Crow). He believes that Haruka possesses the Dragon's Torque and claims to be Yuu from fifteen years in the future...

Both anime involve kids and are Sci-Fi.
Denno Coil is more of a Slice of Life, while Noein has action
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
Denno Coil and Noein tell rather unconventional stories in which children must deal with extraordinary circumstances such as a cybernetic world that mingles with reality in the first case and time travel in the second case. In both cases, a different dimension threatens to bring about destruction and the possibilities that arise from the existence of different worlds is handled in an intelligent and highly original way. For a fresh take on sci-fi themes with out of the ordinary character designs and very fluid animation these titles are a must see.
Both have similar feels to eachother, and have a sci-fi element, and also involve a bunch of kids.

Both deal with time travelling in a way and both are very excellent on their own :)

Dec 24, 200724 of 24 episodes seen 19 of 21 people found this review helpful Overall, I thought this anime was really good. It's fairly hard (for me anyway) to find an anime I really like, to where I start watching the first ep, and before I know it the suns rising and I just finished the last ep. This anime was one of the few. It's very hard to try and review this anime and not spill out any spoilers, but I will.
Story - 8
I found the story in Noein to be very entertaining, maybe thats because I just love the concept of separate dimensions,... different futures with time, and quantum theories in general. This anime revolves a lot around that, and it does it quite well.
Art - 7
The art style is fairly nice, at first its kind of like "man, this stuff looks quite sloppy" but once you learn the purpose of the drawing style you will understand. I found some of the house models to be a bit too FMVish at times, but they did blend in really well.
Sound - 9
The soundtrack of Noein is really good. The music goes in well with whats going on screen, and it blends into the anime really well. Sound effects weren't bad, and voices weren't too low, just right.
Character - 10
Character development in Noein is really good, in order not to spoil a single thing, thats all I can really say.
Enjoyment - 10
Noein really had me sucked in the entire series, and I really feel bad for the people who watched this anime weekly. If you're a sci-fi lover who likes different time-space dimensions chances are you'll love Noein. If you're someone who likes good action with a good storyline to support it, chances are you'll love Noein. If you're someone who likes character growth and watching characters change due to the storyline, chances are you'll like Noein.
Overall I slap a 9 onto this anime. It has its moments, and its definitely worth a look into if you fit into any of the categories above. read more

Jun 27, 200824 of 24 episodes seen 5 of 6 people found this review helpful After completing Noein, I was left with the sensation you rarely get after finishing a series or movie where you personally think almost every little thing was done just right. There's very little else to say to try and express my tremendous respect and appreciation for this series. I personally believe it was orchestrated magnificently and its message carried across powerfully.
Most of all, what I truly respected in this series was its character-driven a...ction, as opposed to plot-driven action. The characters were so fleshed out and their relationships and backgrounds so completely delved into, I had grown to feel like they were real people I knew. This was further effective in the juxtaposition that was utilized between future and present selves of these characters (which I will refrain from spoiling further about). The development of relationships between and of the numerous characters in this series, Yuu most of all, was unimaginably compelling and convincing, giving the series an overall true feeling of completion and purpose.
Haruka, most of all, pulled me into the series more and more with the further displays of her distinctive features. Having the ferocity and absolute concern of Hermione from Harry Potter, and the curiosity and strength of Lyra of The Golden Compass, the pleasant down-to-earth character of Haruka was one that you would simply be honored to be friends with. Despite her rough upbringing, her inner strength and selflessness were clear and well-presented in a realistic manner. Yuu, too, was a realistic character suffering from a harsh upbringing and from the effects of strained familial relationships. The relationship found between Yuu and Haruka, and their development, is what I truly believe to be the defining point of this series.
The story, too, gives this series what I believe its distinctness and genius. Carrying across a story filled with Quantum Mechanics, and a great deal of everyday storytelling in a little town in this mix, I believe that the timespaces and parallel universes shown in this series to be an absolutely interesting and entertaining interpretation of Quantum Physics and many of its theories. The unique settings and conflicts only help to improve upon this story.
The only problem I had with the story was the sometimes slow pace of it in the middle of the series. Whereas a lot of information and details given were important, I believed that if I wasn't motivated enough to finish the series, I might have stopped just because of that slowness.
In terms of art and sound, I believe that Noein also delivers. The art was particularly special (even though there were some parts I believe the CGI to be sort of distracting) with its mix of CGI and line art, and the classical music used was clearly appropriate.
Overall, this was one of the most enjoyable, if not the most, anime series I've ever watched. If given the opportunity to watch this series, I suggest and strongly recommend to not let it pass.

Story - 10/10
From Kazuki Akane, the guy who brought you Heat Guy J and other series. From Satelight, the studio who brought you Sousei no Aquarion, Shugo Chara and Macross Frontier comes...
Noein ~ to your other self
Airing in Japan in the Fall 2005 season and is currently fully available on DVD in the United States, among other media such as XBox Live and on the Manga Entertainment website.
Noein's story... and concept is very unique and personally, hard to explain without giving full-on spoilers. The series summary provided to you is the best I can do, since I'm sure nobody wants to be spoiled into how freakin' amazing this series is. WATCH IT AND BE AMAZED.
Art - 9/10
Satelight puts out one of the best animes they'd ever done. Its gorgeous, lush CGI and animation. It's clear of the high-budget the series had. The character designs might turn you off, but stick with the series. In the end, it will pay off in spades.
Sound - 8/10
eufonius sings the Opening song, which is a beautiful piece of music as I've come to expect from the artist. the Ending song, sung by Solua is also interesting, but skippable. The BGM is very solid for the most part and enhance the overall experience of Noein.
Character - 9/10
If you can get past Yuu and his constant teen angstyness and Yuu's mom being a total b... you will survive the series. All or most characters are pretty likable throughout. You shouldn't have any problems with any other characters besides Yuu and Yuu's Mom.
Enjoyment - 10/10
I really, truly enjoyed the series. I'm usually not one for all the scientific mumbo jumbo, CGI or angsty characters, but Noein was an interesting case. I think the character interactions really made Noein great. The action scenses were really well done, needless to say. The music and BGM were solid, which added further enjoyment. It was a great experience and I urge all to take the plunge and watch it.
Overall - 9/10
An anime that's intelligent and genius, rises past my expectations. I'm hoping you'll watch it. You'll be surprised! read more
