I can't even be sad for David. You saw what happened to Maine. You are clearly loosing it. Like literally smarten up a little bit and you'd probably be fine.

This show isn't really going where I hoped it would. I thought Lucy would betray David, but timeskip threw that off completely. The timeskip threw a lot of stuff off honestly, mostly development. I think Maine and Dorio needed to die for the plot, but I don't think timeskip right after was the best move. I wanted to see how David coped with the loss of his mentor figure, of a big part of his crew. I guess they show the repercussions of how he coped, because now he's a chrome-head, but I think a timeskip like that threw off the pacing. The ed made me think Lucy was going to be a really important character, wit her crying, or walking in a sort of hollow way, or looking at the moon. I thought she would have some sort of plan, or interesting goal of her own, or development. Instead she just hangs around David and watches as he slowly kills himself, while she has some sort of shady business with netrunning stuff. I'm interested to see where that goes, but I don't predict it'll go where I was hoping. I think David might die at this rate, and lowkey that wasn't where I hoped the show would go. They've got a lot to wrap in the next 2 episodes, is all I'm saying.

Lol David is a selfish fool for thinking he's special. Way to throw away everything to make the same mistake Maine did.

David's going on the same path as Maine. Shit's getting worse every time and he's freezing the shit outta himself every single time. Shit ain't going good with Lucy either because she's way too deep into the data which she can't talk about for some reason. Must be something big that will create a huge problem. Kiwi betraying her is the worst though, they recently called each other, but seems like money and a ticket to Arasaka is way better.

You thought things are going fine considering how far David has took the role of leader upon himself, but as Lucy described him, he was still chasing after someone else's dream...

Now his life is numbered, his ambition and drive will never allow himself to let go of all the metal on him, his mental state is in shambles, and he's wrong for blowing that woman's face. It has come full circle now, he's the murderer of someone else's mother. Finally, to top it all off, Lucy's persistent worries for him lead to them having a fight only for Lucy to be lured by none other than Gustavo Fring lol.

Damn, David has become so fucking cold. He killed that poor innocent lady. She was just an employee.

I thought Faraday was the top dog in Militech. It seems like he also has to answer someone. I believe he has changed teams now. Now he's working with the Arasaka's.

Rebecca is such a sweetheart deep down. She genuinely cares for David. I wonder if she sees David as a replacement for her dead brother.

Damn, David is also showing signs of cyber psychosis. I really hope he doesn't die by the end of the series in this way.

He also feels guilty about killing that poor lady. He sees his mom in her.

Bro wtf? Kiwi teamed up with Faraday to capture Lucy and get into Arasaka's ranks.

I wonder what's the big reveal that Lucy saw back in the Old Net.

You would think David would've learned from Maine's psychosis but I guess not because he's "special" :/
I have a terrible feeling the anime is going towards the majority of the crew ending up dead at the end.

Well, Kiwi did tell Lucy literally this episode to never trust a soul in Night City. Way to prove her point I guess. Both Lucy and David are running into problems both by being stubborn idiots, unless there's a stronger reason Lucy is being so secretive with David about what she's been doing.  Regardless, the stuff of seeing David descend into cyberpsychosis has been interesting. I thought the walk with Rebecca was a pretty well-written scene, the best of the episode. But seeing his reactions with the doctor was interesting too, same with Lucy to a lesser extent. I can't say I care about the plot beyond that though, but I imagine the main focus won't deviate too far off of David's problems, but we'll see.

Well, I did not think this anime would go down this route, but it did. There are no good people in this anime. There is no one you want to root for and maybe that's fine. It definitely a breath of fresh air from always getting goody two shoes MC with plot armor.

No one in this anime deserves a happy ending. Eventually, all the squad members should die to show how brutal it is in NC. There is no going back for David. He made the same damn mistakes Maine did, he forgot what his Mom was trying to accomplish for him and tarnished her memory. It's hilarious how he thinks he is different or special or "built different".

Also, Lucy's actions are pretty dumb. She is one of the reasons I think is pushing David towards making these decisions. The moment she dropped out of the crew, David took on way too much responsibility. She is partly to blame for his downfall imo

I wonder why David won't scale down his wares. He can accomplish his mom & Maine's wishes if he is of sound mind. But yeah, I'm sure being in those upgrades must be highly addictive, especially once you've felt all that power. There's no turning back. I know I wouldn't.
I didn't expect Kiwi, of all people, to become a traitor.

Damn, I didn't think Kiwi would betray Lucy like that especially after saying she can't trust anyone in NC. Such bullshit. David is slow slipping into cyberpsychosis which isn't a fun sight to see. He's being selfish and using his mom and Maine as an excuse for his poor decisions. Does he not remember what happened to Maine when he wouldn't downgrade his cyberware? I hope Lucy doesn't die, we don't know a lot about her but I really liked her character. I can't help to think that maybe another reason why David is acting the way he is, is due to Lucy just dropping out and not giving any information as to why she doesn't want to rejoin the crew. I wish we got to see more of Becca, she's a fun character

David’s being so annoying bruh

I don’t like when MCs do this “i’m tough i can handle it” or “i’m cool so i don’t talk about my feelings” act

Like, you’ve seen what happens so many times to people who get too many implants..

Is this what your mum would have wanted??

Another good episode. Animation was a little below from what I expected but the scenery was way better. David thinking of the people he killed and his mom was really good, David and Rebecca talking was really sweet, David and Lucy talking was sad, seeing David in a downwards spiral is really sad, and the ending had me pretty shocked. Really excited but really not excited for what’s to come, cus I feel like it’s gonna be bad. Also watched Hazbin Hotel for this one and it was really cool.

We finally get some strong character moments where we see the relationships shine. Lucy getting the tip to find the blackweb runner was kinda random, but this was probably the best episode so far.

Finally, some engaging storytelling that was missing from the previous episodes where it felt like each of the episodes were moreso self-contained stories that didn't really lead to the next one.

God, this episode left me speechless at so many points. They're highlighting David's descent in a perfect way, and the woman he killed representing his mother, having him repeat the cycle of crime is such a palpable message.

Honestly, this show just feels all over the place. I mean it started with some cohesion but honestly where is it going ? What does it want to do ?

I mean look at David. After his mom died, he didn't really have much to look forward to, so he joins the Edgerunners. Then Maine goes psycho and fucks everything up because of his chrome addiction and then David does... the exact same thing and refuses to take any measure to mitigate or even prevent the fate he knows is going to happen.

In this episode he talks about Maine's and his mom's dreams but... he ruined his mom's dream (not 100% his fault but still) and why exactly did he wanted to carry on Maine's dream ? What was Maine's dream ? To be Faraday's lap dog ? I mean it's not like they have some lofty goal like getting out of Night City and getting a better life or whatever.

So many things in this show are just soo rushed. I mean its clearly been at least a year or two since Maine and Dorio died but David's and Lucy's relationship still feels like they barely know each other.

This show looks flashy and some great animation but the story and its execution is letting it down.

At this point I guess it was inevitable, he's already gone. And Luce's next, in another trap. sigh
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
