Cyberpunk: Mercenários

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!

Like the title of my review states, I am not a big anime guy. I loved Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in a Shell during my teen years but never really found anything after that that grabbed my attention. Until a friend told me to watch AoT (Attack on Titan) which becane one of my favorite shows of all time.

I was one of the few people that genuinely enjoyed my time in Night City when Cyberpunk 2077 released. That being said I am sure it helped that I had a PC with the capability to play the game on all of its highest settings.

This show is a wild ride through Night City that never let's up from episode 1 all the way to the final moments of episode 10. I knew that the show was in development but was presently surprised when I turned on Netflix today (my day off) wondering what I was going to watch and it was just waiting there for me. I watched it from begging to end with a small break to cook food somewhere in the middle of the show. I found the story and the characters to be fun and intriguing. I also found it to be a breath of fresh air when it became apparent (very quickly) that this show wasn't going to play it safe or pull its punches.

After finishing my hope is that we will get to go back to Night City and see some more action. Very fun, will watch it again and I hope we get a renewal.

P. S. Yes it's animated, no it's not for kids. It's TV MA and it takes every advantage of that.

This Series is absolutely Phenomenal, I would put this as one of the very best Animated Series on Netflix, at least at par with "Arcane".

Personally I didn't like the Animation that much, I thought it was too dark and too chaotic at times. However, everything else is great, from the Characterizations, Storylines and Storytelling.

This is truly very Hard Core Science Fiction, they created a World which is beautiful and yet very strange, but also very familiar. You can appreciate the Technology they are using as they are similar to what we have now, but so much more advanced, especially in the field of the Cyberworld.

But I don't think it is for everyone, though. The Action Scenes are great, but they are also a bit too gruesome at times, I think some People will find it that.

Plus the Theme itself is pretty dark, with Crimes, Betrayals, Murders, etc. But if you get past that then you will have one of the most rewarding Series I have ever seen, despite its Bittersweet Ending.

This is one of the Must-See Series for me, if anything it will definitely be a Cult Classic. Yes, another one of those ...

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.

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.
