the pace is fast (it is explained by the total number of episodes) but one of the best presentation of the world depicted I have ever seen.

Really good, they went all out with the first episode. The only downside is the subtitles so far.

Not bad at first glance, a bit too flashy for my taste lol. cool music too
But I didn't understand how did he get that military equipment or whatever. Like, he found it in his mom's trashbag? Or a random trashbag? Or what was that I didn't really get that Ah apparently he found it in his mom's things from the hospital while searching for the rent money

Fair start. Appears to have gotten exposition out of the way.

Clear that what's to come is the real showing.

HOOOLLLYYYY!

This was exactly what I was hoping for. Good animation, seemingly good story, everything perfect so far.

It represents capitalist America so well.

Not a bad start. A little quick, but overall good. This did a really good job setting up the world of Cyberpunk, a dystopian hellhole of death, sex, drugs, and poverty. It also did a great job establishing how cruel and uncaring this world is. David's Mom was a kind, caring, and decent person, and they treated her like complete trash simply because she didn't have a lot of money. The doctor handing David a tablet with funeral options while not giving a remote shit was brutal. Not to mention a cremation service that's like a vending machine. That was crushing to see.

I like how they used the actual gun sound effects found in the game too, that's a nice touch.

Never a fan of gratuitous gore, because it just comes off as obnoxious. Hopefully it isn't too prevalent in this.

Looking forward to seeing more, as everyone seems to be hyping this up like crazy. But I have a feeling it won't be as amazing as many make it out to be.

This first episode was much better than I expected, and I already finished watcing the third episode, just wanted to comment on this, it felt really fucked up to see what happened to him, and I couldnt believe how everyone else was treating it, but also odd how he reacted, I was expecting him to go mad crazy way sooner, like right way, wtf...

hfs that's a fucked up society. An emergency service that won't tend to you because you are not their customer (not so fun fact, some fire services used to be like that in the Victorian era). David's mother was an emergency responder herself, so that makes Katsuo's message about karma even more painful.

I remember this show had no following when I added it

Turns out it blew up!!

I didn't play Cyberpunk yet so I don't have hype from that perspective

First episode looks promising, I love the overall vibe and the soundtrack

damn were they not kidding when they said it could affect photosensitive viewers; speaking from someone who has a history with epilepsy, the first few scenes were barely watchable for me with how much flashing lights there were asdkl but regardless, i really like the cyber vibes/aspects of such world and am kinda intrigued as to what it entails :D

Hey MC that have the same name as me...

Holy Shit that beginning Action Scene was Insane.

lmao the sex scene caught me off guard.

also Ripperdoc was voice by Kenjiro Tsuda... One of my favorite Seiyuu.

Damn what a tragic first episode.. Mom already gone..
Love the vibes already, this is really promising!!

Studio Trigger doing it once again!!

Phenomenal.
It's rare to see a show that goes hard the entire time. It ties into the game world, it's emotional, full of impactful unique characters, and it's overflowing with action and suspense. Overall, I have to say it's a rare treat to have a show that delivers on so many levels without over-promising.

I did have some gripes about story direction, but after everything, they've faded.

It doesn't end on a cliffhanger, despite wrapping everything up, it leaves room for a second season with new stories of other "Legends" of Night City. It really excites me that this could so easily blow up expanding heavily on the lore of the CyberPunk world.

Nothing better to hook you into the cyberpunk universe than an all-out cyberpsychotic battle of guts and blood in the first 5 minutes of the story before being introduced to the main character of this story.

Even then, for this particular day, David's life got pretty messy real quick, from getting caught in the cross-fire, a car crash that caused his mom's death, with no money and no family members left alive and even no social friends to rely on, he's all alone. If it wasn't for the sandevistan that his mom snatched from that crazy ass dude at the start of the episode, I'm pretty sure David would've committed a school shooting of some kind back in the Arasaka Academy. This is America

I'll always watch subs, but for Edgerunner, imma pass that. I'll watch this in English DUB. Liking the vibe of the show a lot so far...

This...was surprisingly mediocre, considerung the absurd amount of praise this show gets. Well, it's only episode one, let's assume it gets better.
