'''''BASToF Lemon''''' ({{Korean|hangul=사이버 영혼 바스토프 레몬}})  is a South Korean animated series, which ran for 26 episodes in 2001. "BASToF" stands for "'''B'''e '''A''' '''S'''tranger '''To''' '''F'''ear."

The show was formerly licensed by [[A.D. Vision|ADV Films]] who dubbed and released the show as '''''BASToF Syndrome''''' on six DVD volumes from May to November 2004, holding on to the license until its shutdown in 2009. It is currently unlicensed.

==Plot==
The setting of the story is the year 2097AD, the place the city of '''Xenon'''. An ultimate cyber game, where players fight as biomech cyber robots, has been developed. However, there's something wrong: the game's cyberspace and the real world are linked, thus the damage done in the game's cyberspace creates ''real'' destruction in the city of Xenon. This all started when players heard a painful scream, saw a ghostly face, and a powerful scent of lemon overcame them. To solve this mystery, the creator of the game assembles a "Dream Team," which is the top three gamers in all of Xenon. The team is composed of rebellious and arrogant teens, who have to overcome their attitudes and fears to find the answers, answers to the mystery that is much bigger than just the game.

This animation parodies the [[MMORPG]] or '''M'''assively '''M'''ultiplayer '''O'''nline '''R'''ole-'''P'''laying '''G'''ame.
