Although klutzy Yui Kasuga, the heroine of this 1999 TV series set in "2000-something," lacks computer skills, she inadvertently makes contact with IR, one of the eight "Corrector" programs scattered through the cyber world of Comnet. The Correctors protect the global system from the evil and cognizant super computer, Grosser, and his four hench-programs: Virus, Jaggy, Freeze, and War Wolf. Although she'd rather moon over Shun, the handsome college boy next door, Yui repeatedly travels into cyberspace to defeat Grosser's schemes, which range from turning e-mail messages into strings of insults to altering the advice from an online romance advisor. Corrector Yui plays like a cross between Sailor Moon and Tron, with costumes and accessories borrowed from Cardcaptor Sakura. A heavy-handed lecture about ecological awareness is incongruously set inside a virtual forest. (Unrated: suitable for ages 8 and older: minor violence, brief nudity) --Charles Solomon
