Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Everything just went too fast in my opinion.

Normally with a show I would say 3 seasons could have fitted into 1 season. But with this show it's the opposite.

The characters didn't get any time to develop before they were killed off.

When they die you wanted to be sad about it because it felt like it was a big moment. But because it all happened too fast and you barely knew the character you just don't feel anything, which is a shame.

Don't get me wrong it's a fantastic anime. The world building is awesome and overall is just a great watch.

I was just left not longing for more story but having the story spread out more, giving the show a chance to really shine.

Missed opportunity but still a great watch.

I went into this show expecting a cool sci-fi experience! Instead i got a rollercoaster ride that i wont soon forget! They really did a great job of creating a vibe and atmosphere that you wont get anywhere else!

Oh and NO.. YOU dont need to be familiar with the game to enjoy or understand this show! I knew zero about the game and i love this show! A shame we only got 10 episodes, because you never want this show to end!

Animation and visuals in particular was the highlights, but so was the story and characters! Even soundtrack was strangely good! Gonna listen to some of the songs!

At this point i see a show that has yet to get the attention it deserves!

If you are familiar with the game Cyberpunk 2077 you will feel right at home as soon as episode one plays. The show nails the atmosphere of Cyberpunk very well which is hard to do. For newcomers however you might feel a bit confused from time to time with: phrases and some old character cameos popping in and out however do not let that deter you from watching this show. The story and pacing is great especially for a show with ONLY 10 EPISODES. Sure there could have been better character development and some more explanation for newcomers but, keep in mind the show length and for me personally they do a great job with what there given and able to work with. OVERALL this show impressed me from the moment I hit play. If your a fan of the game watch it , if your a fan of Ghost in the shell & Blade Runner type science fiction watch it . The dub also is good and the sound effects are also "the chefs kiss". Overall give this show a watch Trigger did a fantastic job not only bringing Cyberpunk to life but, a believable science fiction world that only makes you wish that the show was longer.......9/10.

I hear this is based on a game?

Well anyways, I've never played it. It was probably one of the best short run animes I've ever seen. No random useless episodes or scenes, but the character development was off the charts. I can hardly remember names of people, places, or things, but this show had me emotionally invested in every character to the point that if someone wasn't In a scene, I'd wonder what the hell happened to them. I actually signed up for imbd just to write this.

I binged it in a day and I had so many important things I had to do. I don't know if the storyline is finished, but if it isn't, I'll be on my toes waiting for any news of a continuation. At least I finished the show today, I'll be extra busy tomorrow. I wish more shows could be like this. Most shows nowadays have several main but forgettable characters.

Just finished watching this one on a binge. I gotta say, this brought back times when I first saw Ghost In the Shell. The anime it self really hits all the tones that I love about the genre. The over the top action and brutality, but this time it is packed with a gripping story. While the gory parts remind me of Hellsing (the Anime series), the action is definitely something unique from Studio Trigger.

What I also find interesting about this anime, is the attention to detail and how well it gives you back the visuals of Cyberpunk 2077 and the feeling of being in Night City. It makes the locations and characters very familiar. When you watch the anime and play the game, you can catch locations of interest and bonus items in game. It was a really interesting experience visiting these locations in game especially after finishing all 10 episodes.

The characters don't feel alien to this genre except for Rebecca's character, I my self said: "meh whatever.." she's there for the comedy element which you sometimes really need in the midst of action and drama that the series throws at its viewers.

I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys sci-fi anime.
