Just remembered another anime that also shows AR as a daily life thing, The Orbital Children:

That one has a less fleshed out / "natural" use of AR compared to Dennou Coil, but it's still pretty good.

It's only 6 episodes, and should be available on Netflix in most countries already. Not sure if Dennou Coil is.

With both series written and directed by Mitsuo Iso, who also contributed to storyboards, key animation, and digital effects. Iso had a remarkable career and notable animation style even well before Dennou Coil. It's only unfortunate that there's such massive gap between productions of his own original works.

Thanks. Been always looking for something similar to Dennou Coil, and now this arrives, and by the same author! A very nice surprise
