Synopsis

Dreams are doomed to die in Night City, a futuristic Californian metropolis. As a teenager living in the city's slums, David Martinez is trying to fulfill his mother's lifelong wish for him to reach the top of Arasaka, the world's leading security corporation. To this end, he attends the prestigious Arasaka Academy while his mother works tirelessly to keep their family afloat.

When an incident with a street gang leaves David's life in tatters, he stumbles upon Sandevistan cyberware—a prosthetic that grants its wearer superhuman speed. Fueled by rage, David implants the device in his back, using it to exact revenge on one of his tormentors. This gets him expelled from the academy, shattering his hopes of ever making his mother proud.

After witnessing David's newfound abilities, the beautiful data thief Lucyna "Lucy" Kushinada offers to team up with him, handing him a ticket to salvation. However, associating with Lucy introduces David to the world of Edgerunners—cyborg criminals who will break any law for money. Edgerunners often lose their lives, if the cyberware does not break their minds first; but in his fight for survival inside a corrupt system, David is ready to risk it all.

This is one of those shows that is a bit too overrated purely because it's got catchy animation and bgm.

But story? It's cliched and boring. Brings nothing new to the table. Characters are easily forgettable too, and have literally no character development whatsoever.

Now maybe, if you're new to anime, you might think this is amazing, but if you're someone like me who has watched more than enough anime with the same kinda characters, patterns, and tropes, you'll know this is nothing special.

Comparing to other actually good and unique cyberpunk anime like Dorohedoro and No Guns Life, this anime is way too generic and mediocre.

For what ...

Bro... I ain't even know where to begin with this absolute atrocity, I never thought anything could have topped the disaster that was the games launch but the surprise this caused me was MASSIVE, Watching this dropped me to a new all time LOW that it almost caused me to FADE out of existence.

Don't even get me started on the writing, a bit of moldy bread could write a better story, the character development just straight up doesn't exist, David Martinez is NOT the goat and the fact that he won't be in the second season actually brings me a sense of relief. man Lucy, ...
