Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Starts of confidently with an audiovisual presentation that is full of spunk and atmosphere, befitting the genre mix of cyberpunk and anime. The pace is swift, but still manages to introduce the characters and the world. Things start to get a little wobbly once the story opens up in the later half and loses some of its' charms. Would have much preferred if this kept being low-key and just about surviving in this hellscape. Appreciated the character work despite the plot progression.

A good story albeit somewhat predictable. I had a good time with it overall although I bounced off the show several times before finishing it.

It felt a bit rushed at times and I wanted to see David's journey in more detail, but otherwise this is a fun little action series set within the Cyberpunk world. Less Trigger-y than Trigger's other works, for better or for worse.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022) — ★★★★½ (9.2/10) This is what an anime adaptation of a video game should look like — instead of trying to compete with the game's scale, it grabs the smallest possible unit of that world (one kid trying to survive Night City) and builds a complete human tragedy around him. David isn't some legendary hero rewriting the rules of the city; he's just a teenager trying to find a place for himself in a world that doesn't let the weak stay standing. That's the core of good

S1: 100 - S2: 80

Overall disappointing with a few higher moments. Both quality and tone whiplash wildly from scene to scene throughout the whole series and make it hard to place the narrative theme or take anything seriously, and an almost dogmatic insistence on recreating the locations and styles from the CP2077 game is ruined by not also matching the games level of realism. - Full Review

Pretty good. I liked how it went and ended especially. extreme. that's what it's about. going to the very edge. not your typical plot.

No happy endings in Night City

Amazing atmosphere with action plus romance combo, gets me very invested. The only drawback is the fast pace but the studio did great with that amount of story in just 10 eps. 10/10 ending.
