Surprisingly good
"Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" is a Netflix Original Anime Series set in the Cyberpunk 2077 game universe. Under uneasy circumstances, the main character David has to suddenly drop out of his corpo school to become an edgerunner. The story vaguely rings back to the game story. Also main characters follow the archetypes of game characters albeit not very close. Same locations like Afterlife, the Mox club, Embers. So yeah.. Cyberpunk, Netflix... These two are no strangers to disappoint their fans. However I found the series suprisingly good. First of all its the visual. MY GOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. The colors are bizzare, glitchy, sometimes even absurd to the point when you pause and spend few seconds trying to understand what are you looking at. I'm serious - hats off, I'm bowing before the art director, designers, the people who actually drew it, all the crew. Y'all freaking nailed it! The atmosphere on point, exactly the way I imagined Night City would feel. The characters are also bizzare yet inviting and develop really well that you instantly care for them. So yeah against all odds the show was epic, I loved it. Well done.
