How it feels

This single-episode anime was made to celebrate a Japanese magazine about hacking and internet culture. It follows characters taken from an online community as they appear in a parody of virtual worlds, samurai stories, and other anime tropes.

What happens

Netrun-mon (ねとらん者; "Netrunner") is a single-episode Japanese original video animation which was created to celebrate the fifth anniversary of NetRunner magazine. NetRunner is a controversial publication since some articles promote hacking. Characters that are used to promote the magazine and are sold as merchandise have been taken directly from Hiroyuki's 2channel community. Hiroyuki himself is a character of Netrun-mon, one of the many references to Internet fandom in Japan that the anime is based upon. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
