| It was pretty obvious most if not all of them were going to die. Honestly, Lucy dying would've been better but David was such a martyr for her. It was still an enjoyable anime, some parts were boring and I almost fell asleep and Rebecca's death makes me want to be petty and give it a 0/10 because how dare they kill off best girl? |

| Did I enjoy this? Yes. Is it well animated? Yes. Is it overrated and overhyped? Yes. Is it the best show of the year? No, not even close. For all the hype and how well-received it turned out to be, I just found it somewhat above average. It's violent and it relies a lot on it to be as engaging as it can. Plus the amount of nudity is a little redundant, like why was there so much throughout the series? It's a shame because I am a fan of cyberpunk with how gritty and dystopian it feels. This show is a prime example of how overhyping something will inevitably bring about it's own downfall. Lucy and Rebecca were the only decent characters. No-one was truly well written or had much in the way of development. Like can anyone explain to me why and how David and Lucy became lovers? There was no justification for it. The ending was bittersweet and does stay to true to that there is no happy ending for anyone of Night City. The series was just disappointing to me, especially with how overhyped and overrated it ended up being. I'm a fan of Trigger's works, but it feels like the anime should've been adapted from a studio that don't make their anime as flashy as possible. Could've easily been a mid 9/10 if it worked harder with its characters and world-building, not to mention having a better payoff at the end. It's a 7/10 for me, at best. It's good, but it is by no means AOTY caliber. |

| I remember David once called the moon a prison. A while later Lucy said the same thing about Night City, that it looked like a prison. Since the beginning, it felt like these two were always trying to run away from something. The ending really reminded me of David and Lucy's conversations about their dreams though. David didn't feel like he belonged in the corpo world. Yet he didn't seem to fit in as a cyberpunk either -- he struggled a lot whenever he had to pull the trigger. Lucy saw right through David. He kept clutching onto his mom's dreams for him. Then also chased after Maine's. But David, what about you? What was your own dream? If you were looking to find a place for yourself, then you could've left these worlds behind and flown to the moon together with Lucy like you promised. You promised, David. |
| Honestly I’m a bit torn between really good and kind of ok, David’s death was expected from the get go as it was for most of the other characters. I just feel it was rushed there was almost no character development except for David and Lucy and even for them was just a bit it’s hard to care if u don’t know much about them and they are not fleshed out. And again some stuff didn’t make any sense like why after seeing what too much tech is doing to u David would go to such extreme and at the start he wasn’t really interested in upgrades it felt unnecessary and unneeded and honest can’t wrap my head around it, Lucy was hiding that she was trying to protect Devid but she hid it from him and even thou she was seeing that he was killing himself and she didn’t try talking with him till the end. I guess there was no other way for Trigger to end it in space I mean at this point if a show doesn’t end up in space it’s not Trigger. |

| Eh, this honestly felt like an early draft of a bigger story. Despite having a lot of interesting ideas, themes and characters, I didn't really feel any of them got much of a focus in the end. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| So, everyone except Lucy dies, the end ? Talk about a downer ending... I can't say that wasn't to be expected though. Good thing I wasn't THAT attached to the characters or I would be a waterfall right now. Overall that was a good show, with a great art direction, "rather" depressing but interesting themes handled in a way I liked, and in the end I felt more invested in the story than I thought I would. I can tell it's not a show I'll easily forget. But the one thing that prevented me from enjoying it as much as I wanted, other than the small amount of episodes leading for the show to barely take any time to breath, was that as I said, I wasn't THAT attached to the characters. The only ones I even cared about were David, Lucy, Rebecca and Maine, and even for them, it wasn't anything deep. So for a show that really wants you to connect with the characters and to feel the emotions deep within, it is a real shame if I have a hard time forming a real bound with said characters. The lack of episodes is probably to blame here too, the characters were really lacking screentime aside from David and he underwent his development so quickly, I didn't feel like I really knew him. So in the end I felt bad when tragedy occured, but that's about it. I wanted to feel more (the only episode that really made me feel very sad was Maine's death episode and it was mainly due to the music that played again in this episode during Kiwi's death, because that's one great but depressing music-don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I no longer consider Maine's episode to be a great one). But as I said, that was still a good show and definitely better than a majority of anime that are produced, so 7/10. |

| I was prepared for worst but wanted at least Rebecca to survive. T-T |
| Rebecca was a real one. Damn that's sad. |
| Damn that was tragic. Really well done. The way Lucy was standing on the empty moon really made it clear this was not worth it at all. Her dream is fullfilled but its a hollow victory. Just really, really well done. Felt bad for Becca, she was killed like swatting a fly. The crazy murder loli has been through so many dangerous situations I kinda assumed she would be safe.. Adam Smasher really is build different. The show in general though.. could have been better. The first half was generic af, leaving all the good bits of the story for only the other 5 eps. With such a strong second half I can still call the show amazing though, definitely better to start weak and end strong than the other way around. I just whished there was more. The setting is amazing after all. And the characters deserve to be explored more too. A full 12/13ep season could atleast have given the characters more backstory, Becca, Falco, Kiwi.. none of them got much and while that feels fitting for the tranquility of night city I still feel like I missed out. I was really not expecting much from this, Netflix, Trigger, CDPR.. all past their glory days. Or so it would seem. Im glad Trigger can still deliver like this, they kinda fizzled out over the years, or rather they straight up just havent done much and what little they did was kinda lame for me. But this shows they have still big potential. While CDPR fucked up big time with the game Im really excited to get more of this setting now. Animation was ok-good, atleast no shitty CGI show. The music was definitely the strongest part. Story and characters had a lot of issues, but given how short it is (essentially just 5 eps of real story) and how high octane the action parts feel I think its easy to look past them. You can definitely pick this apart, or you just embrace it for what it is and have fun. 8/10 I really want more of this setting now |

| Damn it's crazy watching an Anime with MC who have the same name as myself and die in the end. I knew it was coming but still hits me hard. But best girl Rebecca too? Come on... At least Lucy Dream comes true though π I know majority of people watching the dub, but I'm sticking with the sun just because I'm more familiar with the Japanese VA. Also it's Anime, of course I'm watching in Japanese. I don't mind being the minority here, what most important is I'm really enjoying it as well. As a person who never played the game, it really made me want to dive into the game and experience it myself. Just leave it to Studio Trigger and they will make it happen. 8/10. It just felt rush with just 10 episodes, i wish there is more episodes to fleshed out the character development. |

| No way this was gonna end with an happy end, but tbh I expected David to at least go down with Adam Smasher, still he gone out with a bang... in a way I felt more for Rebbeca death right near the end, I kinda grown out of David character after the timeskip, which is where I felt the series going down a bit for, to the point I was holding on watching these last few episodes for a few weeks. I m glad I binge-watched these last episodes, made it for the better, it certainly was a strong ending, and depressing, more so if you watch everything close together and see David becoming like this. What fucked me the most outside Rebbeca's death, was how hollow it felt to see Lucy at the end, she achieved her dream but it was clear that was not her dream anylonger, or at least was not a dream worth pursuing without David with her, those final moments of hers, MAN... Most series have their ups and downs, the highests for this show were really peak quality and some of the best from Trigger and overall a really memorable show that probably outdid it self, I dont think CD Projected expected something like this, it took a long while to release, but this promotional material sure did its job, plain amazing. David is dead, but I would like to see Lucy again, and getting a better resolution than she did here, but if we get more material, only to see her destroying herserlf further and then dying like David did, no more please! 9.2/10 = 9 Watching this really tells me I will love at least the setting of 2077, which I got months ago, because the concept of modifying your body and slowly losing your humanity was really well handled, and when you think about it, it is really scary but also has tons of potential left to be explored. Borgar_ said: Rebecca was a real one. Damn that's sad. Yes she was, at least her death was quickly and she didnt seem to suffer much. Also, she has tons of favorites on MAL, far surpassing David, definitly deserves them, even though I dont feel any characters out did themselves to the point of deserving a favorite, Lucy and Rebbeca were clearly top tier choices. If the anime was double as long with even more development, I might given one of the girls a fav. |
