in 2002 a flash animation
accidentally introduced
japanese internet culture
to the entire western web.

the trojan horse was a heartbreak story
about a cat in a box.

shii's song didn't just introduce
giko to the west.

it introduced the concept
of japanese anonymous internet culture
to an entirely new audience.

the board culture.
the ascii art.
the anonymous romance.
the characters with no creators.

all of it landed in 2002
on a flash animation website
that a generation of western internet users
called home.

4chan launched in 2003.

one year later.
built by someone
who had seen what came from japan.

the timing is not a coincidence.

[eye @eyedotfun]

the original animation
was eventually taken down.

not because of giko.
not because of shii.

because of the song.
wind's nocturne.
from a game series called lunar.
copyright claim. suspended.

an anonymous cat's love story
killed by a music license.

the internet has always been
at war with itself.
