Synapse:
In this future, a mobile phone like technology has people wear special visors to superimpose coordinated, instant virtual images over the top of their everyday real world. This cyberspace layer, "space", interacts perfectly as you move about or touch things. It even allows children to have advanced Tamagotchi style cyberpets (very tidy!), or to make video calls using simple hand gestures alone.

However, something is happening in Daikoku which the adults have not yet noticed. Cyberpets go missing, dangerous spherical robots patrol the skies and a mysterious gigantic character named Satchii seems connected to it all.

When 6th grader Yasako moves to Daikoku to be with family, her beloved pet goes missing too, and she is drawn into the affairs of a `Cyberpet Recovery Agency` run by the local children.

Opinions:
This anime is more on the light-hearted side. A little boring at times; but if you're into computers, you might find it interesting. The whole thing of Space and World interactions gives way to a slight awe factor and thoughts of how far the internet and computer communication can go. Graphics are worthy of the producers: Very clean, and slightly off the normal type of animation.

I've seen the first ep and I don't like it. It's too vague, to weird and most of all, too grey. It looks as if it's always about to rain in this anime. Just don't like the style/atmosphere.

Maybe it's the effect of wearing visors to much ._.

Oh yeah, the characters also annoyed me. A lot.

Hahah. You should probably watch more than an episode before deciding against it, Angelic.

I've watched plenty of shows that I hated until the fifth or so episode, but I ended up loving them in the end.

It took me about three to actually find it interesting, so yeah.
