Why Netflix’s Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime series sucks.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a 2022 Japanese cyberpunk anime television series produced by Studio Trigger and based off the video game Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt. It premiered on Netflix in September 2022.

24.09.2022Honestly, anyone who regularly watches anime I will assume has never held hands with a girl before.

24.09.2022LMAO, only seen a single episode. This is the only boring one out of the rest of the 9 which are absolutely fantastic.

24.09.2022I have not played Cyberpunk 2077, I have not watched any gameplay of it, nor have I listened to videoessays about it, and yet, I had absolutely no problems understanding motifs used in the series, like none.
You can completely divorce edgerunners from the game, and outside of some easter eggs and like 10 minutes of foreshadowing an obvious plot point once (or so I've heard), nothing is lost.
All I needed to enjoy the series' worldbuilding plot and characters aspects was some knowledge of the cyberpunk genre (in my case some genre starting books and GitS movie).

24.09.2022I remember what Johnny Silverhand said to V in the game: "Ladies and Gentleman, a critic! Chill choomba, it ain't half bad".

23.09.2022I didn't like it either because it's too depressing and just has an overall doomed vibe to it

23.09.2022Swear all the guys that use the term “woke” or “feminist” are the same, appearance & personality wise. At a certain age you have to look at yourself and reevaluate something. You’re fishing for views with negativity. Don’t review something after watching one episode. Thought that was a no brainer. Congrats on what may be your most popular video on your channel, sadly it’ll also probably be the most disliked one too. Our review on this review is trash. 1 star for you.

23.09.2022“God awful video game Cyberpunk2077” you really missed the mark on that one right off the bat. It had a disappointing launch, pass that the game is a gem

23.09.2022No, it's fine compared to The Halo TV Series and other crap.

23.09.2022Dunno this feels like another of those videos that want to get trending because it's hating on something popular.

23.09.2022I just finished the show and its mediocre all the way through, it doesn't help that its one of those anime that ends with a giant boring fight scene that lasts 2 episodes and that all the characters have the depth of a puddle

23.09.2022Imagine thinking one episode is enough to judge an entire series.
What do is you do, watch opening credits of a movie, walk out and declare it sucks?
Yikes.

23.09.2022I thought this show was sick, disturbing and modifying to watch. The animation was amazing but the story was sick. David was a teenager who watched his friend lose his mind and what does he do after Main dies? Adds the same parts onto himself after seeing what his friend went thru… I felt like the show was trying to condition me into to feeling like getting dangerous robotic parts added despite the fact that it can kill you is cool. I felt like throwing up when the show was over I didn’t even feel bad for David because he was warned all throughout the show not to add all of those parts and his only excuse was that he was special with little to no proof of that. The story honestly didn’t make sense to me… He had literally no reason to keep adding parts idc what anyone says it was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Dude just wouldn’t stop adding parts and he knew how Lucy felt about the parts and he really felt like she’d tell him to hop into a suit that could possibly kill him? 🤦🏾♀️ And I get online like dang are there any ppl who can clearly see what this story is trying to do and everybody’s just going crazy over how amazing the show is and I’m the only one who’s like this show needs to be burned with fire.

23.09.2022I'm not familiar with the Cyberpunk universe but I have to agree that the 1st episode isn't that good. It spends entirely too much time trying to make you feel bad for the main character and showing how shitty and messed up his life is(which gets pretty annoying) instead of setting up any kind of plot. The main protagonist for the most part is pretty boring and they don't do a good job setting up other characters as there only purpose is to further highlight how shitty his life is. I'm gonna continue to watch but I can tell by the writing in the 1st episode that this show is not going to be as good as most people on here are claiming it to be.

20.09.2022He’s right the animation is mid music is mid and the story is mid I would know I’ve seen a couple minutes of it reminds me of when I watched Bladerunner I only got 10 minutes in to boring not enough dialogue
wakeup
20.09.2022Bro comparing it to tekken like it’s not a completely different setting I turned this shit off so quick.

20.09.2022just started watching it with high hopes and its just awful, every episode so far (only watch upto episode 4) is completely nonsense with an interesting cliffhanger that makes you say huh i wonder what will happen, and then it leads into nothing with another boring episode with another exciting cliffhanger. episode 4 is almost 20 mins of compilations and flashbacks. i dont even know if i can be bothered to continue watching because its such a slog and feels like it takes energy to pay attention to whats going on because its so boring. nevermind the terrible audio mix by netflix the music is also bad throughout, with annoying ghetto music or whatever you call that shit playing at ridiculous times. so far rate 3/10.
squwiid p
20.09.2022u compare it to tekken as if netflix has any say on the production side

20.09.2022Well if you think it's garbage then I guess you just have a shitty taste no need to argue further.

20.09.2022dude baited for views but at least that 20:1 dislike to like ratio don't lie lmao
also, guy, if you want a good story you should genuinely give the game a try. the main story is phenomenal, practically all the game breaking bugs are gone (I only experienced a few visual bugs during my playthroughs) and its overall an amazing experience, just make sure to play on next gen or pc lol

17.09.2022One big flaw with the show is second half. First half they know where the story goes and then in second half, they know how it leads to the end and the ending. Problem is that because I guess 10 episodes were a requirement, it felt like they started putting stuff in just to fill up episodes. Other than that show is very good.

17.09.2022First off let me say this: The first episode must be good bait for better or worse. First impressions are all there is and if you can't make a good one in this overwhelming ocean of online media then everyone has all rights to drop off. The "oh keep watching it gets better" is nonsense. It should never be the case.
Edgerunners is a load of safe bets and safe writing, I don't care what the intentions were or what went into it. This is Netflix and they could've gotten a better job done and more episodes. Yes it was short, so shrink the cast and tell a more concise story that's interesting. Watching this unlikable main character who's too much of a bland self insert for me to care amble his way around into the final boss fight felt ridiculous. He's a hollow shell with no motivations of his own.
And besides the 'love at first sight' nonsense which it probably was, he and Lucy had no reason to even remotely like one another. It was a poor choice of backbone with not enough time for me to even care about them being together.
I did like that all of the cybernetics look like shit, cyberpunk's shallow style over substance and superficial elements are a major turn off for me and I would've preferred if the game stayed moody instead of being extremely loud. On that same note, if you haven't played the game most of the jargon goes over your head, they are relying too much on people playing the game first to get the references and understand other lore about the world. That is a major mistake.
Comparing the absolutely abhorrent pieces of media to this and saying it's good is foolish in my opinion but opinions are opinions.
It was a nice picture book of a show, but I'm going to forget I ever watched it very soon. In my opinion you should drop it. I watched the entire series and I'm halfway through a bottle of Lagavulin for it. There is more I didn't write, I have a headache.

17.09.2022The ending is trash though. It's so generic. I hate producers who think that death = depth.

17.09.2022the first episode was AMAZING it got me so excited about the whole thing that it made me want to watch the whole show and I even stopped watching on the pirated website that i was initially watching it on and created a Netflix account just to watch it and even though I have some issues its a legit 10/10
