cyberpunk: edgerunners was sad but i think that’s what makes the cyberpunk genre what it is. not so much a cautionary tale but a truth telling about our soon to be relationship with tech and capitalism. A great highlight of what anime can be in its current iteration outside of its 90s golden years can be. i think it’s obvious it has the usual anime tropes but it’s not lacking in depth, i find it of the most important of what the anime is portraying of what CyberPunk is: it’s not “shitty people will be shitty” but capitalism will continue to force shitty situations on the lower class, The main character isn’t white (or the most pale person in the show), The Main character isn’t the chosen one, and THE most important is the portrayal of addiction is a result of trauma. i had unfortunately seen a person well versed in tech and tech expressionisms overlook these elements (possible due to a cultural difference) and i also believe you can’t blame people for only taking in the shallow things if you out it in your media but the underlying things listed about is what made the show special for me.

The plot, characters and dialogue are all so hackneyed. There is also so much inconsistency or arbitrariness in how action sequences play out.
