Episode 14 is a good dividing line. The whimsical preview music got replaced with a cascading motif that drives toward a conclusion. They meant business. But I don't know if it should be considered a kid's show, at least I never thought of it as such. Episode 14 again, where Akira has sentiments that seem a little strange for a fourth grader. Or have times just changed that much? I second that, although the story was always kind of there in the background, even behind the scenes as the others went off discovering things leading up to 14.

But I don’t know if it should be considered a kid’s show, at least I never thought of it as such. Episode 14 again, where Akira has sentiments that seem a little strange for a fourth grader. Or have times just changed that much?

It familiarizes you with the situations that the kids of Dennou Coil has to face, and allows the viewer to fully appreciate it. Shows that are slightly ambiguous at times, none more so than "Serial Experiment Lain" are an acquired taste. Dennou Coil clearly falls in this category because it seems so much like a kid's show, when it gets deeper as you move in.
