Concept: one of those transhuman anime shows where the girl ascends to become an unfathomable god of the digital realm, except that’s not the final episode – it’s the backstory.
The twist is that she didn’t pull the bullshit copout those shows typically go for and erase everyone’s memories of her mortal life, so all of her human relationships are still around, and the actual show is a slice-of-life domestic comedy where the family’s teenager daughter just happens to be this incomprehensible living meme complex who influences the physical world by manipulating wifi-enabled technology. This is played completely straight.
Every so often the show lightly touches on the world-shaking exploits she’s getting up to off camera, but then her mom scolds her for talking business at the dinner table (never mind that she’s not physically present and doesn’t eat), and the audience never gets the particulars.
Her little brother looks like a perfectly human ten-year-old, but is actually an Inspector Gadget style full conversion cyborg. His upgrades are only ever used for stupid pranks, and how he got that way is never addressed beyond occasional allusions to “the Accident”.
