First and foremost, I would like to emphasize that I started watching this anime because of its promising plot concept and the tremendous potential it seemed to offer. The first two episodes served to establish the world and the backstory, and in my opinion, they did this task quite decently.

However, I must say that from the third episode onwards, I noticed a significant decline in the storyline. The main character, Haruto, was the reason I started the anime in the first place, and it's unfortunate to see how he has developed. Even after his rebirth with incredible abilities and the highest magician level in this ... world, his character has changed very little. His initial lack of ambition and unchanged behavior after rebirth are hard for me to understand. I would have expected him to evolve throughout the storyline or at least find an incentive to grow for himself and achieve something significant.

If someone is mainly watching the anime because of an overpowered main character and expecting them to conquer the world or something similar, then I would advise against it. This anime places a greater emphasis on interpersonal relationships, which is commendable but personally disappointing for me as I had higher expectations.

The world and atmosphere of Cyberpunk Edgerunners is its strongest point. The grimy, drug and crime-filled streets of Night City are incredibly well-realized and deeply unsettling.

The characters, while not the most well-written or deep, are still likable and fit well into the world. David, the main character, goes through the most development and is ultimately the most interesting character in the show.

The art, animation, and sound design are all top-notch, and the action scenes are particularly well-done.

Overall, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a great anime worth watching. It's dark, unique, and has a fully realized world that is both fascinating and horrifying.
