| I kinda agree with you. I thought many character decisions were stupid and thus I didn't even feel sad at the end. Production wise there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, but the nudity felt out of place and like the producers just wanted to show "Look what we get away with". |

What's next, making a show about serial killers and justifying their killing habits? All i wanna say is that I wholeheartedly agree with what that doctor guy said when giving David his last medicine "Go be a legend or whatever the fuck you people do" This show reminded of a much better show named bungou stray dogs, character in that show had the same circumstances but they weren't bad and selfish people, they helped each other out and became people unlike David and his friends and the end the conclusion show gave us was so mediocre, Lucy went to the moon as a bloody tourist, David gave his life so Lucy could get a vacation how dumb is that🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyway this show was done amazing but it had no logic behind it and the only character with a bit of a brain was Lucy but she was always naked Which is so annoying and distracting (and incredibly sexy ofc) So well m giving it 7 just bcz of how well done it was but I hope they don't keep making these kinda shows, it'll Ruin the anime as a medium I agree and not agree at the same time. If you think it was pointless, and all the things you mentioned I agree,but than why are you rating it 7 ?? 😅 |

Just like Arcane, it was suppose to advertise Cyberpunk 2077( the game) and thus they make a contract with Netflix to produce smth. As a producer, Netflix chose Studio Trigger. I want to make a point here that the story was a canon and had taken place before Cyberpunk 2077 actual original story. Cyberpunk Edgerunners main purpose was to get more ppl into the game. And it does like ppl like me started playing it (cause I want to kill Adam Smasher every way possible). Secondly, the story wasn't completely pointless. The show actually predicts the next age future. Not how ppl will replace their organic parts with machines, but present the fact of hierarchical structure. It shows the extent of how cold and rock hard humans are going to be in contemporary world. For e.g Third, heard you saying how people are so bad and gangsta here and it's bad for us to pity such scums who don't think about lives of killing people, if i correctly interpreted your opinion. In response I would say that it's what anime want viewers to reach. There are many anime where you would have to justify what's correct and what's wrong and thus create a ironic situation (mostly happens in psychological anime). Most common example would be Attack On Titan. I am not defending cyberpunk and all cyborgs, but it's was their job to carry out client's job and to do that they had to kill people's and got money in return. This perticular feature makes the anime a seinen and makes apart from shonen. It shows hard bitter reality. Even David later felt guilty of killing so many people. It's like from anyone perspective killing people is bad, but if anyone grow in cold emotionless world like in which David grow, it would be hard to tell if mercy cease to exist in anyone. In such world (like underworld in our case) killing ppl is usually to common. Many ppl die without anyone caring. Fourth, he love between David and Lucy shows even in such a cruel world love cease to exist till humanity exist. There would be someone in this world who would make warmth in this cold accursed world. This gives us hope and hope to remain in track of human. Dream plays a very important part of plot catalyst of love theme of the show. Cyberpunk was an 10/10 anime if they haven't got loose at ep 6-7. Though what it makes different from other anime is how they don't drag into complex ideals giving out to viewers but showing reality. That's what Wester is good at. They, even with unrealistic plot, some how makes story much real. And accompanied with such goated soundtrack osts and so vibrant colour pallet, it might have the chance to take the W of the year. Depends upon Chainsaw Man though. Well I am concluding now. Last thing i want to say is don't dare talk shits about Lucy or I will Kill you 🔫. And yes I am a simp proudly |

| I mean, you ain't gotta root for those guys. In real life experience you can always be idiotic when you feel panic. I've experienced panic attack when I'm in "bad" situation. But I can see what did you mean, well, for me.. I enjoyed the show. |
 This's my profile This's my anime list This's my reviews 🌸Would you be my friend?. I'd love to have an online friend.🌸 |
| thats what realistic about it "to err is human" or science finds that we humans are irrational by default just because of the huge amount of cognitive biases that we have and mental shortcuts that we do since we are not omniscient beings also this is just hindsight bias at work |
| Only the MC was painfully dumb enough for the sake of character development. Sure, he redeemed himself in the end, but they were on a killing spree so most of the crew deserved what they got. Only Falco and Lucy were the more peaceful ones, so for them to live in the end was fine. Also, Bungrou Straydogs is as weeb as it gets lol. |
| It's as if storytelling is meant to portray not promote... Nothing in storytelling is supposed to be justified, it's only supposed to be shown in a realistic manner. But I can't blame you, all that woke western content has fried your brain with all that political promotion, now you can't even tell the difference between fiction and reality. |
_Mawr_ said: Mathi786 said: I get your point but think about it for second, a wise and logical person could just migrate from night city and find somewhere else to live, now admittedly I don't know if in this universe night city is the only place in the world so I won't press further on that point, but there are still other ways, he could be an engineer or a brick layer or a hairdresser or million other professions that are necessary for human civilization to exist, he could do any of them and still lived, I mean than you wouldn't have a story to tell but at least it's logical, Night city surroundings are only deserts with some nomads living there and America is after reunification war and corporations war and is still rebuldint after them, nature on the planet is destroyed and there are still visable effects of atomic explosions i think. (Cyberpunk world compendium) I think then the world everywere have some similarities to night city, maybe there are some better place (if i remember it well V migrate to one in usa) but not everybody know were are they and how looks outside world (new internet is chaotic and full of hackers as far as i know), and to mograte crucial is money, you need to pay for transport and to buy some accommodation before you find a job dont you? (I am sure after wars and other things there are many unemplayed people who would like to work) Its the world of the future so people dont need hairdresser bc they just download code and do it themselfs, also modern machines and robots do most of the work so a few humans are needed (for modern robots its easy to build a house i think), i think thats the cause of high unemplayment rate. Buts its only my percepion of the cyberpunk world and I understand your point of view. clown ass bait. dystopian capitalism forces ppl into bad decisions, just take the L and accept it |

Mathi786 said: MrElias said: I would have agreed to the title if aot wasn’t a thing. I think if I remember correctly I also made a thread where I said Eren was an idiot but mids locked it for some reason Tbh I think Armin is the person that made the dumbest choices in AOT S4, They set him up as someone intelligent and then throw that away in the last season. Whereas in cyberpunk noone was treated "smarter" than others. They were all just human beings making dumb choices. Everything David did was to protect the others, since he saw the deaths of his friends and didn't want to relive that. I mean you could say it's dumb and selfless, but that's just how he was introduced, since his mom died. And he giving his life to Lucy's dream is actually the best ending this anime could have had, although it would have been better if it was a bit longer than 10 episodes. What you say about the story is actually not wrong, it's as simple as that, but with the simpleness that it has, it also shows a lot of somewhat darker scenes. |

| I personally don't need characters to make smart decisions every single step of a story, because that is in no way realistic. People are going to make mistakes, or go with decisions maybe they know subconsciously aren't the best for them but that have an emotional impact for them. ie Also in my mind, this is kinda one of the main points of Edgerunners, with the people of Night City leaning too hard into cybernetic implants. Cyberpunk as a genre does a great job of juxtaposing futuristic hyper advanced technology, with a grungy, disgusting, semi post-cataclysmic world, and CDPR definitely delivers on that front with Night City. You see numerous examples in the game and the show of Cyber Psychosis, or even just other negative effects from chroming up too much. However, the people of Night City, including our characters, continue to pursue these body enhancements solely for the advantages they provide while ignoring the massive dangers. So David making stupid decisions in part because of his trauma and his massive overconfidence work perfectly fine for me in the story, he's just a guy trying to figure out where he fits in this crazy world, and makes a ton of human slip-ups as a result. I will say though, that I do also kinda agree with the ripperdoc, but also once again I think that's kinda the point. That was actually one of my favorite scenes, and it sorta blind sided me by how hard it hit me seeing how one dimensional his character had been up to that point in the story. |

| It's Cyberpunk night city + anime. All logic is thrown out the window. It's a chaotic place to live in. |
