Ive always wondered if "anna senpai" is a play on "ono sendai" -- the infamous Cyberpunk EvilCorp deck...

I personally feel that it is. (maybe tis was already obvious to others - I just havent talked about it out oud to anyone prior...)

They said in an interview -- it's a .txt file linked somewhere on the krebs site, that AS is a villian in an anime
I think the pseudonym "Anna senpai" is in reference to the Japanese media trope of schoolchildren falling in love with their senpai.
