9.3/10 This is a true masterpiece. The animation alone is stunning, another spectacular work by Trigger. The amazing writing of both characters and plot in such a short amount of episodes is inspiring. I had never played a Cyberpunk game when I watched it, yet I was able to follow everything. (There was one part in the very beginning that was a little jarring to comprehend but I soon understood) The show managed to captivate me, get me engaged with the world, and attached to all of the characters. Again, I would like to state I knew nothing of Cyberpunk beforehand. The emotional moments really hit hard and deep for me, which was a surprise. Somehow, despite the immense pressure of the previous episodes, it managed to deliver an incredible and satisfying ending to the show. Overall, my only complaint is the OP and ED feel lazy considering how high the show soared; however, even then, the OP and ED are decent.

9.3/10 Absolutely stunning animation, characters, and opening. The ED is also very nice. The story is fresh and interesting; I'm not the bingeing type at all, yet I was able to for this. Nazuna (love interest) is amazing and Ko (the protag) is a great pair for her. My only real issues with the show are clichés. It falls into a few of them (one notable is a huge age gap which I don't care for). But again, it manages to stay fresh and stands out as itself. The colors are beautiful, and they really put effort into the background. Now, for the plot. Very entertaining, easy enough to follow, yet not too simplistic. I'm actually interested in the world building and wish to see more of the series. In short, I am truly happy with this show.
