Virtual Station is a laboratory with the purpose of gathering and researching DNA. With the information gained through combining old DNA elements, the ancient world was virtually reconstructed. Yui is one of the Gene Divers. She enters the virtual ancient world to collect the DNA of animals that are extinct in reality.
But then an incident happens. Yui tries to leave the virtual world during a maintenance cycle, but instead of being returned to reality she is transferred to a new virtual present. In this new world, generated by the now uncontrollable system, an intelligent species evolved from rodents, called puglaistig exists. They consider the existence of humankind a serious threat and try to stop human evolution by all means.

Where it came from
Gene Diver was produced by NHK and aired in 1994, emerging during a period when Japanese animation was increasingly exploring the intersection of virtual reality, digital consciousness, and high-stakes adventure. The series follows a group of young protagonists who inhabit a digital world to rescue corrupted data, reflecting the burgeoning public fascination with the early internet and the potential for immersive computing at the time.
The series design and aesthetic draw heavily from the technological optimism of the mid-1990s, utilizing a visual language that blends science fiction tropes with youth-oriented adventure motifs. Produced as a narrative-driven educational and entertainment project, the show sought to make complex concepts of data integrity and network safety accessible to younger audiences, ultimately occupying a niche space in the landscape of mid-decade NHK experimental programming.
