Don't you think this Anime would be great... Like REALLY great if they did 25 episodes instead of 10?

I felt like the anime was rushed. It was 10 episodes and it could've easily been 25 episodes, It would be way better in my opinion. We would have time to get to know with characters better and we would get attached to them more, also people would see how things work in 2077, not everyone has played Cyberpunk 2077 (I have beat the game twice but even I found it difficult to follow sometimes). Right now I didn't know characters well enough to feel sad for them or to feel anything at all. Adding episodes would add more side characters as well which would make the anime way more interesting.

What do you think? It can be just me... idk

That's the classic problem with ONAs, they're often higher quality animation and production but they trade off it with story and runtime. Personally though I thought the overall runtime for Cyberpunk was fine, maybe 12 to 14 episodes max.

Even 14 would do it in my opinion but 10 really felt like it was not enough for everything. They could use those 4 episodes to show characters' backstories, how stuff works in that time and etc... Would be more complete.

honestly 25 seems way too long for a story like this. It would have many parts that dragged on. I would say 12 max. also the more episodes the lower the animation goes so I am happy with what it was

Not really, tbh. I preferred that it was shorter, made it a lot more fast paced and fun for me.

I guess it could’ve maybe benefited from having 12 episodes, but I also don’t really care that it didn’t, since I absolutely loved it the way it is.

That’s just how I feel about it, of course.

I don’t think this show had nearly enough story to tell to justify a 25 episode series, and I imagine the animation quality would take a hit as a result. The pacing is lightning-fast, almost too fast at times, but I prefer that breakneck pace matching the chaotic nature of the show’s content over the show slowing to a snail’s pace and overstaying its welcome.

Not 25, but at least 15 or so and devote the extra runtime to fleshing out the world and the side characters a bit more.

Yes maybe 25 is too much but like even 15 would do the job. You're right.

I couldn’t handle that much Sex,nudity and punky stuff so i think 10 was more than enough.

The problem is that people don't know what they want and will always be dissatisfied, if this anime had 25 it would have a similar post saying it's too long that it should have 10 or something like that. lol

Well, not for me and I'm only talking about myself. I know what I want and I've clearly written it up there. Just feel like a couple more episodes would fill the gaps and would let us get to know characters and the world better. It's not like I'm hating on the anime or something.

Yep they rushed everything what we got? A garbage.

I learned only character CD Projekt Red didn't touched is Rebecca (which studio insisted) and turns out only likeable character in entire series.

2-4 extra episodes would likely have been enough to flesh out these characters and the story to a good point.

If it went out longer I think they'd need to add some more story elements or I'd get bored.

Yep, I agree with you.

It's still a good anime, but that's pretty much it. It's a shame that they wasted the potential as I can easily see it being really great if they added a couple more episodes, so we would be attached to characters little bit more. Now it feels like we don't really know much about many of them.

I doubt collaborations are this black and white. Never been a massive Trigger fan, so I haven't watched many works, just Kill La Kill and Brand New Animal. Edgerunners I'd still say is a decent amount better than both. No reason to speculate about CDPR ruining the show in this department, they've never even had amazing characters if you ask me. If CDPR let Trigger do whatever with the characters the show quality wouldn't necessarily be better.

THIS

I loved it so much I watched it so quickly, 10 episdoes is just not enough imo, it would've done better with more episodes, tho I really hope there is gonna be some kind of a sequel in the future.

25 episodes would drag out the series dry and long. Preferably have the series an extra 3 or 4 episode as the progression of the story is really fast, especially the 2nd half of the series. I would say 1-7 is the 1st part and 8-14 is the 2nd part of the series to fill in the gaps. Still, Edgerunners is a really solid show and its really sad to waste such opportunity to elevate it even further beyond.

I said a similar thing in the last episode discussion too. 15-16 episodes would have been perfect. 10 were too rushed for the story and 25 would've been too much. I gave it 7/10. Though music is 10/10.
It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult.

I think maybe 1 or a maximum 2 more eps would be ok, although I like the way it is now. One reason I like this anime is because of it's fast pacing, and if it gets longer, I feel like this will be a problem.

The pacing was the ONLY thing i had issue with it’d genuinely be a 10/10 with a bit longer runtime but its still a 9/10 for me so i’m not complaining

This anime really lacks episodes. It is very good to compare it with Akamе ga kill (not in terms of plot, but in terms of the ending and the emptiness that this anime leaves behind).
And even a very decent anime. I think 8/10. But a very fast narration and not revealing the backstory of the characters is the only, but very gigantic, minus for this anime.
