Cyber Adventure Record Webdiver) is a Japanese mecha anime series produced by Radix and Nihon Ad Systems, in conjunction with toy maker Takara.

The series is directed by Hiroshi Negishi and Naoyuki Tatsuwa and written by Mayori Sekijima.

In the year 2100, children have become Web divers and uploaded their consciousness onto global computer networks.

One day, a mysterious computer virus appears and begins to destroy the Magical Gate.

For the anime's 20th anniversary, series director Hiroshi Negishi, general director Shin Matsuo, animator Hideyuki Kachi and MODEROID development manager at Good Smile Company Yoshihiro Takagi shared their thoughts on the development of the series.

"[3] Hideyuki Kachi also learned about the idea for the series and explained that "At the time, Takara was selling e-kara, a karaoke microphone that you can connect directly to a TV and play with, and there was a trend to release various toys that applied that system.

I had been working on an anime project that used the Internet as a theme, so I guess the starting point was to combine that with that."

In addition, Dragwon and Ditalion are also products with that specification, but toys have a big sales season in spring, summer, and winter, so in the spring we have the hero robot Gladion, in the summer we have Dragwon, and in the winter we have Ditalion for Christmas.

That's why Magical Gate is divided into three layers, with Ditalion at the farthest back and Dragwon in front of it.

First of all, for Aoi, we have a rule within ourselves that says, "The heroine's name that starts with 'A' will make a hit" (laughs).

Yuuki comes from "courage", so when compared to his younger brothers, it's easy to say and don't overlap, Kento and Kaito.

Jean is the only child who lives overseas, so I gave it a slightly different sound.

If we had a lot of animators draw in small cut units to reduce the burden, it would be difficult to standardize the details."

In the beginning, there were parts where I couldn't keep up with the work, but as the number of episodes increased, the range of movement gradually expanded.

"[3] Dennō Bōkenki Webdiver first premiered on TV Tokyo and other affiliate stations in Japan beginning April 6, 2001, until March 29, 2002, with a combined run of 52 episodes.

R.A.M, a group formed by Hideaki Takatori alongside Akihiko Hirama and Sister MAYO performed both the show's opening themes: "DIVER#2100" and "SO DIVE!"

Frontier Works released a 20th Anniversary Blu-ray Box Set on December 22, 2021, containing two discs with all 52 episodes, a limited edition Drama CD "The Return of the Web Knight", a special Soundtrack CD, illustrations and concept art for the show.

The box set also includes the exclusive weapon parts "Holy Sword Granslayer" to be used for MODEROID Gladion.

Each toy has a special functionality to connect to the TV to replicate the "Plug-it" feature seen in the anime to play games.

For the anime's 20th anniversary, Good Smile Company announced that several of the mechs from the series will be added in the MODEROID line of plastic models, with Gladion and Dark Gladion released in December 2021[6] and Wyverion in March 2023.
