| Seriously given how poor the reception for the game was and how much of a disaster it was at launch as well as Cd Projekt Red’s piss poor attempts at trying to damage control it, it’s kind of long due for a successful animated series. And I’m glad to see it ended up being a success. Not to mention given Netflix’s poor track record with anime (seriously wtf was up with Spriggan), it’s about time we get an actual good anime from them. |

| never played the game but yep this anime is great |
| I hated this show with a passion personally but it's good seeing Netflix do well with this series and an adaptation based off a game with the general audience. I personally just couldn't enjoy anything genuinely about it barring the ending song/visuals and the opening. |
Skylight810 said: It's a cool show, but the fact that it somehow currently has a higher MAL score than Akira AND Ghost in the Shell is a bit absurd. Like those two are the seminal cyberpunk anime that defined the genre score will go down eventually thats always the case here on MyAnimeList recency bias just up the score a lot then it will gradually decrease in time |

What a wonderfull world... Akira and GITS play on a way higher league than Edgerunner, in my honest opinion (Dont forget Patlabor too) sure but personally i enjoyed this show more since its fast pace, wacky and never boring |
| But Arcane is 100x better than this. If Cyberpunk is 3/10 then Arcane is 300/10. That's how much difference between quality. |

Katzenjunge said: Ghost in the Shell/Akira are more like Dragonball, I mean they were influential back then and are still classics but they in no way are the best of their class. People have build upon them improving a lot. Fast paced action fits cyberpunk settings a lot. You see all the crazy cyberpunk mods/weapons etc. GiTS is very slow in comparison. I don't really agree with this. Cyberpunk is more then just "action". The philosophy behind Cyberpunk goes way deeper. It's in my eyes one of the most realistic perspective of our future. And no, I'm not saying that we will have a world like we see in Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell. But the subjects that comes with Cyberpunk are very realistic. The power companies can wield, self conscious of humans, where do we stand between humans and machines, the possible danger of our own technology, the gap between poor and rich, manipulation, how weak we become for cyber terrorism/hackers and many more subjects that make Cyberpunk a unique genre. It's for me more then just voilence and action. I can also see many aspects coming bCk in Cyberpunk Edgerunners. It was for me maybe a bit to much at the end with "action" but this series show some interesting stuff, when you look deeper in to it. |

It's for me then just violent and action. I can agree with you, too but still Cyberpunk needs its Punk part and while it does not always means physical violence, it still requires brutals, drastrics rebeliouss messages and almost always, actions. But yeah fast paced and gun fire doesnt inherantly equal cyberpunk. Agree, and this is where the part (high tech, low life) comes from. The gap between poor and rich is very big in Cyberpunk. The "poor" people become the punks and try to make money withever they can, and the rich are the people with power, in this case the "copro" people. You can also show this without a lot of violence. Afcrouse, Cyberpunk genre needs violence and action, but to say that it needs fast paced actions? No, not really. Maybe for a younger audience, but people like me? No, and I enjoyed Cyberpunk Edgerunners a lot, don't get me wrong but the end was for me a bit to much unrealistic action. But overall I really enjoyed the serie. |

I meant in the sense that it’s a well received show based on a franchise that’s not so well received. Dota dragon blood also falls under this too. Netflix needs to crank out more shows like this, Arcane, Dragons Blood, and Castlevania. They've proven they're the only streaming service now that has good video game adaptations. They just need to make less Resident Evils and less Dragons Dogmas. |

| I'm happy to see that Edgerunners wasn't that much affected by problems that Cyberpunk 2077 had after its premiere. If they affected Edgerunners anyhow, then I couldn't notice anything that would be influenced by them while watching the show. It's simply a feast to one's eyes. |
