Dennou Coil Wins Another Sci-Fi Award

If there's one 2007 anime that I should go commit seppuku in shame for not having seen it yet, that would have to be Dennou Coil. I'm a real sucker for good sci-fi stories (as opposed to mindless mecha pew-pew), and from the sound of it, this is precisely what the doctor - and various awarding committees - would order. Umm... yeah, this too.



Following a pretty impressive string of awards, including the rough Japanese equivalent of a Hugo Award (namely the Seiun Award from the 46th Japan SF Convention), this week Dennou Coil claimed another resounding victory - as the co-winner of the 29th Nihon SF Taishou Awards, from the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of Japan (website). And if you're still not impressed, ANN lists even more previous awards.

If this show won't strike me as "made of win", I don't know what will.
