Without spoiling anything, I can confidently attest to the fact that this anime enhances the game in a very positive way. It depicts the rise of a mercenary in a way that resembles the game protagonist, but the story nonetheless is compelling and unique. The anime illustrates the highs and lows of Night City, showcasing the luxuries and carnage that arise from being a mercenary.
And, the cast of characters is very loveable, and even the antagonists, while cartoonish, are compelling and convincing. Coupled with the characters, the animation, music, and overall atmosphere are done very well.
Now, with all this praise, I want to emphasize that I did not give this anime a 10/10 because the story is paced in a bit wonky way. A little nitpick, but it nonetheless impacted my enjoyment, but only slightly.
As a whole, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a fun show.
