| Well after the death flag they set at the end of episode 4 and how things went since then this outcome was obvious but I'm salty af that David died. I really hoped to see David and Lucy together at the end. |

| His death was inevitable, the point is that getting big in Night City, to become "a legend" is a stupid lie. David was kicked by the system, by everything and everyone and practically killed himself by going over the edge. A lot of the deaths feel pointless, because the city's locked in a spiral of violence and abuse and the people themselves aren't able to break it. It's following the setting's themes to the letter. I'm salty too (basically all of the girls are waifus in this show lmao) but it's fitting |
| Tomboy Mommy GF and other amenities |
| And, here I was thinking that maybe they can stay together but nope we were here for the pain train. That was such a good journey. I had a lot of fun with this show even tho it was just 10 episodes. It did everything it needed to for me personally. He protected Lucy but not everyone. RIP David. You were a great character as well. I knew it was coming from the start but somewhere deep inside, I had hope that it can go right but nope. I was sad to see Lucy being there on the moon alone all by herself. RIP to all the members of Cyberpunk EdgeRunners. You were all nice. I had a lot of fun with these characters are this show. Thanks, Trigger, CD Projekt Red and all the staff members involved with this show. |

| Great anime, from the start it was set, that Lucy will survive (like every other waifu). Just was sad to see Lucy being there on the moon alone all by herself, and when his illusion pops out, that was really emotional scene. For me first season definitely 9/10. |
| Finished all the episodes in one sitting, unexpectedly a good show. real sad best girl rebecca died. |
| The end was very predictable, I saw it coming from a mile away. I quess this was just a "stand-alone" serie without plans for a second season. But the thing is, you don't really see Adam Smasher killing David. Soon when he pulls the trigger, the screen goes red. You don't see David being hit nor being killed. I assume that he is being killed but that you don't see any aftermath wonders me if Arasaka didn't let him live. He lost his lower body, but the rest seems kinda intact. Rebecca on the other hand looks very mutilated to a point where she can't be fixed. Her chest is open and she lost part of her head. In short, I can say that Rebecca is killed but about David, I doubt. I kinda wish that Rebecca survived though. |

Csource said: I knew they had to give a sad ending but the way they killed off the other crew members is still bitter imo. Damn im still salty about becca's death lol Yes, I couldn't agree more. It feels a bit bitter how they killed Rebecca. David was predictable but i'm not sure if he is really death or not. See my statement above. But I don't really feel bad about him maybe because I don't have any confirmation if he is really death or not. But I feel more bad about Rebecca, that she died. Lucy did survived, but she has mentally issue's but she is a very strong character. I felt that she had the most emotions in the entire serie. Not only do I feel bad about Rebecca, I also feel bad that we don't see more of Lucy. She was for me the strongest character in the serie. |

| It was inevitable. I was lowkey spoiled when I played the 1.6 update for Cyberpunk2077 lol It was an amazing ONA for me, but saying that as a Cyberpunk2077 fan since 2020. A lot of details they've put in the game, even the Sandevistan animation was pretty cool.

David went out in a blaze of glory, as he also has a drink in The Afterlife. His jacket is also an item you can wear in the game :) |

The game had many performances issues on release. Couldn't get a stable FPS. It runs better now after many patches. But I've decided last week that I want to wait a little bit longer or when I have a new GPU. So I still miss all these details. I did found Rebecca's weapon though, I saw it in a video and wanted to check it out. Her weapon has now more meaning after she died. I haven't seen David jacket yet. |

YumYumBeans said: There are no happy endings in Night City. My thoughts exactly after watching the episode. As many have stated I too was sad Lucy and David didn't get a happy ending but I guess they got it as good as one could in Night City. Overall superb show, great soundtrack as expected from something attached to this franchise, 9/10 from me. |

| Honestly, this had me crying a lot more than I expected, more than any other anime, show, game, or movie I have seen. I knew it was coming but man, it was hard to watch without the tears rolling down my face. Course the music definitely sets the mood for that too, and that is one area I always had to give credit to CDPR for, the music in the series is top notch and very memorable. It has that thing where when you hear it, it makes you want to play the game again. Also, why kill best girl Rebecca? Dang it! XD, I have a whole new reason to want to kill Adam Smasher in the game now. With all that said, David is a much better character than V, in my opinion. And watching this, I do kind of wish the game was more similar to this anime, where you get to run with a crew as fun as these characters before things go sour. The game often just feels like things go sour right away, and then you are just fighting against it all the way till your dead. It almost feels pointless to make connections during that point in the game because you are dying, but it's also the only real point in the game where you can make those connections. But I suppose I shouldn't rant about the game here. The anime was awesome, and I have to say I am going to give it a 10/10. |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| This was a pretty good hentai. 😊 |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Excuse me but how can I rate it 2077/10? Shit, they screwed up with the game but anime was... No words. Sad af tho but I enjoyed those 3-4 hours to the fullest |
| sad ending since only Falco and Lucy survives David is beyond saving anyway he is going crazy or CyberPsycho in the end that Adam Smasher guy is something else this reminds me of Akudama Drive anime too that is also a CyberPunk genre |
| Finished this show just now, and I'm glad it's over. I wasn't trying to keep my expectations high since Trigger's disappointed me for the past few years but knowing that Imaishi was directing this, I did have a hint of optimism. But overall, this show was too rushed, so chaotic and messy to the point of just being fully bored of it so quickly, and having that only get worse and worse till the final episode. This is one of the worst shows of the year for me, a show that oozed style early on but with how tired I was of the story, characters and pacing of this show, the less I could give a shit about the visuals side of things (and even that wasn't as great as I was hoping for). Even the music while having its good moments, were a mess in other moments and how it was used with scenes in an obnoxious fashion. Not a single character I found to be likable or interesting either, not like the pacing did justice to the characters unlike some other Trigger/Gainax series in the past like a Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, Gurren Lagann, etc. Best things about the show was the ending song/visuals and the opening being done by Franz Ferdinand. That was nice. The rest of this show I would probably forget about in a day or two and move on. The show might look good but the action scenes didn't really capture my interest either, was expecting way more on that front but left underwhelmed in the end. This show and Darling in the FranXX are probably my lowest rated Trigger works together. Such a shame but there weren't many moments where I felt optimistic or positive about the show while watching it, and the final few episodes and the ending did nothing to change my opinion there. Haven't played the game myself by the way so I don't know if that would play some kind of part in this, but this was just a lame show overall. Kind of a depressing day watching this show, right after the Spurs loss to Sporting and a hectic day of uni lol. Would even say this show is one of the weakest shows of the year given how there isn't many redeemable elements to it considering some level of expectations there, even if I was trying to not go too high with it. |

I'm mad because i agree every one of your words. This is currently by the far most overrated anime of the year. |
