A Street Kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an Edgerunner, a Mercenary outlaw also known as a Cyberpunk.
Watchseries; We aren't usually anime fans, but my wife and I binged this in 2 days. Fantastic art and direction that successfully blended western and japanese sensibilities. I don't want to spoil anything, but it doesn't play out like you'd predict. If you like comic book universes yet are sick of the goofy whiny tone of recent Marvel offerings, give this a chance. It's not quite the masterpiece that Arcane was, but still one of the best reasons to keep your Netflix subscription. Hopefully everyone watches the heck out of it so we get another season, but regardless Season 1 already has a satisfying conclusion.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners watchseries. The storyline is actually good. I expected a real stinker considering where its coming from, but they actually did a good job on this one. The anime is colorful and in a style that make me think of the old anime Cowboy Bebop. They really tried to capture the Night City, and took a lot of Qs from the Cyberpunk 2077 game, and ran with it. The apartments, slums, dialog, everything screams Cyberpunk 2077 and its awesome. If you liked the game
Cyberpunk 2077 then this is totally up your alley. Its defiantly one of there better anime and worth a watch. This is so much better than some of the more expensive TV offerings curranty available.

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.

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.

This show was absolutely amazing with edge of your seat moments, great characters, and no plot armor for any of the characters. It had great pacing outside two or so episodes, but even those episodes didn't feel like a waste of time. Episodes 6 and 10 are easy 10/10s in my book.
Although the original language is Japanese, I watched the English dub and wow, they did a great job with it. Never noticed any dips regarding lip syncing, dialogue, or voice acting. In fact, they seemed to have planned the English dub cast with thought as they have Matthew Mercer and Giancarlo Esposito among others.
Even if you aren't a big anime person, watch this show. The typical anime tropes aren't there and it really feels like an anime for everyone.

This adaptation is amazing truly a work of masterpiece! And true to the original game Cyberpunk 2077. A well receive reimagining of night city and its chooms! It deserve the intention that we need to get back and play the latest patch and made me want to replay the game again! Job well done CD projeckt red!
The character and story pacing is done so well. With the game mechanic realistically in the anime! Really does bring you the vibe as playing the game itself. As for David the main character in this story. He is truly a loveable main char! And Lucy as well! Hope that they renew this anime for a second season! Heck trilogy if you must.
