fannish love from a flower of sin
Why do some of the best anime have practically non-existent fandoms? Like Noein and Denno Coil. And Le Chevalier D’eon. Can I tempt anyone into watching a supernatural mystery/thriller set in pre-revolutionary France where folks wield Psalms like spells? Can I lure anyone with the info that one of the protagonists is a woman’s spirit channeled through her brother’s body? Can I sway you with the crossdressing? The bishounen? The bishoujo? The witty turns of phrase? This anime is perfect for a fandom, guys. It’s getting depressing that there isn’t one.
From the lament to a clip:

Tumble Down
Noein was amazing (I own the series and watched the whole thing in about two days) and is so underrated it’s ridiculous. I’ve never heard of Denno Coil.
To be honest, I tried watching Le Chevalier D’oen a few years ago but I couldn’t get into it (imo, it had pacing from hell). The concept was interesting enough to get me through the first two or three episodes. I might give it another try.
Hmmm, I might attempt writing a Noein fic.
It’s nuts that there’s no fandom for Noein. I can’t even put my finger on why. You should write something if you get a chance. I wrote a little Atori-centric ficlet for it once. I should probably try something for it again.
Denno Coil was an interesting sci-fi anime that involved the internet world being integrated with the real world using special glasses and visors. It centers around a group of kids who are hackers trying to figure out a strange computer virus that emerged in one of the virtual spaces. It was really entertaining. If you like sci-fi, you should check it out.
Heh, yeah the pacing was a bit of an issue with me, too, but I can’t help but love D’eon. Probably because it was different from a lot of anime I had seen at the time. I’m doing a bit of a rewatch, so I’ve been fangirling the show all over again.
