Cyberpunk 2077 might be a bit too controversial as a game, but the anime, is something else entirely...
Edgerunners is a collaboration between CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 and Studio Trigger. And I tell you now, the anime is clearly a passion-driven project. The result between the two is an anime oozing with style and personality, not just from Trigger's explosive approach to storytelling and stylistic flair, but also adding in Cyberpunk's amazing dystopian-esque high-tech low-life world, fully reimagined in anime! I might add this might be the potential that Cyberpunk 2077 wished to achieve. And, as an outsider to the game, this anime singlehandedly redeems the former's hiccups, so to speak. But, what was supposedly the surprise collaboration didn't do much until...the anime also proved itself as such...A F*CKING BANGER OF ALL BANGING SURPRISES!!!
With only 10 episodes in its runtime, Edgerunners is filled to the brim with Trigger's signature animation, memorable characters (both in design and heart, yes!), great story direction, and an OST (mostly coming from the game) that competes for the top spot of 'having the most diverse music genres in one show'!
If you're still reading till this point, WHAT ARE YOU DOING! Watch the show now! You won't be disappointed.
