Both this and the game are almost narratively empty if one hasn't combed through the fricking TTRPG books already. Makes a lot more sense when you realize you're supposed to have learned the history of the past like 100 years of this world before stepping into these.
The fact that we're even having this conversation, hundreds of times, on a daily basis is proof that things need to be gatekept. Zoomers and election tourists have ruined this site.
I don’t even have to watch it to know it’s bad. Just look at the image you posted, my body as a reflex violently rejects everything that image conveys.
Edgerunner was good. Shit was sad, I liked seeing something that was just such a fricking downer in the end. I thought it portrayed night city better than the game (which is still not the rpg they promised and never will be).
Yeah I guess you can feel superior if you didn't get swept up at the end. I love cheesy shit man, that final bit with David flying and Stay At Your House blasting worked for me. Everyone is fricking dead and Lucy is traumatized and alone on the moon, it's great.
>I thought it portrayed night city better than the game (which is still not the rpg they promised and never will be).
it's because punk rock is dead and all we got is pop punk
I'm watching it now. And playing the game now too.
Edgerunners is alright, typical triggerslop.
Makes hacking seem way cooler than it appears in the game. Also makes braindances seem way cooler than they are in the game.
Combat system and skill trees are leagues better and the DLC story is actually written well unlike most of the base game. Still a ton of shortcomings everywhere else, though: beautiful city with nothing to do in it but kill guys, interesting characters you do two missions with and then toss aside, railroaded main narrative, etc. As someone who played it on launch and then again just recently, it is way more tolerable as a video game now. On the tail end of a second 100-hour playthrough just because I like the combat so much.
All Noir is based on early 20th century Los Angeles because there was such a blatant abuse of power by a wealthy few that any real justice seemed impossible. Chinatown ends with a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top being exposed when the water baron shoots his daughter (the mother of his child) in the head and absconding with his daughter/granddaughter (the product of his own incest) as she screams in horror and our hero is stopped from doing anything about it “Forget it Jake it’s Chinatown” because there’s nothing he can do because the police are in the pocket of the baron.
Neo Noir like Blade Runner is the same but in the future. The final episode of Cyberpunk Edge Runners is very similar at least in theme. David has completely forfeited the last vestiges of his humanity in order to save the woman he loves from the evil corporation and even after he saves her, the corporation still wins. Anything he accomplished is more or less a Pyrrhic victory. He’ll be remembered by Lucy and his name will become a legend to those in the scene, but the bad guys won.
I enjoyed it, then I saw that r**dit was all over it and now I think it sucks because I don't want to share their taste in anime. That's why I'm watching chinese anime and not japanese now
the pacing is fricked
looking back, the hype about CP77/edgerunners was fricking moronic. cyberpunk red is probably the worst cyberpunk franchise to adapt.
It's disaffected maloidcore. David's deathwish framed as heroic sacrifice somehow speaks to moronic men who find him noble when he was actually pathetic, cultivating his own bad end at Lucy's expense.
Only high IQ post here. It's telling when men interpret self drstructing and causing as much anarchy as possible with no historical significance as Nietzschean. Same reason they admire Elliot Rodger
Tranime is incapable of saying anything other than platitudes. Insert some saccharine "character building moment" and the troons all go crazy. It's absurd.
The show is garbage but trannies like to pretend it's the only show.in existence where young lovers die a tragic death
Because mc simps for a literal prostitute and doesn't learn a thing from his dead mother
>literal prostitute
Are you sure you know what literal means
looks like that anon didn't learn about his mom either...

Game was millions times better Chang,
so? i did that in the 90s
If you can't explain yourself why its bad then it probably wasn't actually bad and you just have a preconceived le tranime bias because you're a sheep
It's anime which is always complete fricking trash destined for the dump.
maybe you shouldn't spend time on an anime website

>Zoomers and election tourists have ruined this site.
nah Cinemaphile was only ever good for one thing: pick the low-hanging fruit
It was way more tolerable here 09-13 and WAYYYYY more tolerable here 03-08.
I was just fishing for a couple (you)s to give me a boost for the rest of the day
Get good and watch 80s~90s anime
Because anime stopped being cool after the 90s. It’s just Imaishi rehashing his style with no innovation and studio Trigger can’t write for shit.
This
Everything is shit. I have the best taste.

I enjoyed it but it's pretty uneven
Maine's death episode was 10/10 tho, no cap
>named Maine
>is a coon
deepest lore
Edgerunner was good. Shit was sad, I liked seeing something that was just such a fricking downer in the end. I thought it portrayed night city better than the game (which is still not the rpg they promised and never will be).
>Shit was sad
Opinion Dropped
Yeah I guess you can feel superior if you didn't get swept up at the end. I love cheesy shit man, that final bit with David flying and Stay At Your House blasting worked for me. Everyone is fricking dead and Lucy is traumatized and alone on the moon, it's great.
I can't hear anything from Black person, sry
I don't understand what you're trying to say, it was in fact a sad ending.
>I thought it portrayed night city better than the game (which is still not the rpg they promised and never will be).
it's because punk rock is dead and all we got is pop punk
what is the Avril Lavigne of science fiction?
I'm watching it now. And playing the game now too.
Edgerunners is alright, typical triggerslop.
Makes hacking seem way cooler than it appears in the game. Also makes braindances seem way cooler than they are in the game.
falls off after maine dies and the pacing goes out of control
it filtered millions
Damn it was good
is the game good now?
its better but still not up to the standard they promised
Combat system and skill trees are leagues better and the DLC story is actually written well unlike most of the base game. Still a ton of shortcomings everywhere else, though: beautiful city with nothing to do in it but kill guys, interesting characters you do two missions with and then toss aside, railroaded main narrative, etc. As someone who played it on launch and then again just recently, it is way more tolerable as a video game now.

It is never going to live up to the insane promise it had, but taken on its own terms it's pretty good now.
Because it's a school shooter power fantasy. Bullied losers gets superpowers and goes on a killing spree, and gets rich while doing it.
Character design is good but it feels rushed
All Noir is based on early 20th century Los Angeles because there was such a blatant abuse of power by a wealthy few that any real justice seemed impossible.

All Noir just rips off French cinenma and it's just cynicism rather than based off anything real.
Film Noir is private dicks in Los Angeles
>Film Noir is private dicks
Noooo. How dare they keep their dicks private. This is an outrage!
I enjoyed it, then I saw that r**dit was all over it and now I think it sucks because I don't want to share their taste in anime. That's why I'm watching chinese anime and not japanese now
I know your pain
Western cartoon designed for homosexuals, like everything else studio trigger has ever made
>Western cartoon designed for homosexuals
>Mainplot is a heterosexual romance
It's a homosexual-coded heterosexual romance. Enjoy your gay propaganda you big homosexual.
>homosexual-coded heterosexual romance
In english doc
>homosexual-coded heterosexual romance
this is why I come to this godforsaken site
When will Netflix and Disney create something original?
the pacing is fricked
looking back, the hype about CP77/edgerunners was fricking moronic. cyberpunk red is probably the worst cyberpunk franchise to adapt.
It's a very straightforward anime. what part exactly filtered you?
It's disaffected maloidcore. David's deathwish framed as heroic sacrifice somehow speaks to moronic men who find him noble when he was actually pathetic, cultivating his own bad end at Lucy's expense.
>David's deathwish framed as heroic sacrifice
You are literally the only one to interpret it this way

>Trannies trannies trannie AAAAAAAARRRGH TRANNIES IN MY HEAD RENT FREE!
Holy shit actual brainrot
is literally kino, go watch it
I'm just not gonna watch a show with a beaner as the MC.

We need more dead e-girls in anime dying in gruesome ways
