Minor spoilers I went into this show expecting good animation and entertaining fights and what I got was exactly that but also a decent story and characters I could actually sympathize with. I want to start off by saying that this show was clearly made for people who played Cyberpunk 2077. Im sure you could still enjoy it without having played it but they really dont bother introducing all the tech stuff slang etc. at all so just keep that in mind. Dont wanna write a whole plotsummary here but Ill just get it out of the way Edgerunners is about a student named David who just lost his mother in a car crash quit school and is trying to make money. Because its Night City the easiest way to do that is mercenary work and from here the story escalates into lots of fights characters dying and David becoming increasingly more OP using the Sandevistan he picked up from a Cyberpsycho... Thats about what youre getting into. The story in Edgerunners definitely shares some similarities with the game and here and there youll even hear them talk about or see some of the characters from the game but there are enough differences so it doesnt feel like a remake or anything. 420https://assetsprd.igns.com/2022/08/30/cyberpunkedgerunnersseason1episode2001830211661882631726.jpg The main reason I started watching this show was as I said the fights and animation which I had high expectations for because its made by Trigger and they really didnt disappoint. Theres some kind of fight or shootout in basically every episode but theyre always unique enough to not get boring and they definitely didnt shy away from showing blood or gore which I really like. I think most people can agree that if Cyberpunk 2077 got one thing right its the characters and atmosphere of the city and Edgerunners does these two things just as well if not better. The city looks great and they stayed so faithful to the game that no matter where they are youll most likely be able to recognize the place if youve played the game. The characters even though the show is only 10 episodes long really started to grow on me towards the end. Most action focused anime either fail completely to make me care about the characters or it takes way too long and by the time I do the show is almost over already so this was a nice surprise especially considering how I only started watching this for the action. 420https://i0.wp.com/www.digitaltrends.com/wpcontent/uploads/2022/08/CyberpunkEdgerunners3e1659392122259.jpg Lastly the sound design in this show is absolutely phenomenal. Again if youve played the game you will hear a lot of familiar sounds in this show and they also use some of the radio music from the game which really benefits the atmosphere and vibe. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who even remotely enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 or is interested in the genre but also to anyone looking for a refreshing action anime that focuses heavily on the action. 9/10 would recommend
