it's edging time
>>17493And then David edged all over Lucy
>>17580Escapism was a mistake.
>>17589Twitter is full of extremely puritanical tumblr refugees.
>>17589it's neo-puritanism mate.
>>17590It's not a tumblr problem.
>>17589New wave puritanism going mad at anything not wholesome or out of standard.
>>17154> where people live longer and have access to far better techThis is just false.
Even in game its brought up that it’s rare that people who aren’t corpos die of old age in Night City. The technology is just lipgloss.
>>17479Yeah, the anime was cool, but Rebecca is overrated
>>17638I honestly think Rebecca was the worst part about it. Her only purpose is to have a crush on the protagonist and die.
>>17650I didn't get the hype about her…She's too old to be a Loli, she's not precisely hot, and her character looks like a Cyborg version of Harley Quinn
>>17667Oh and him not even putting a scratch on Adam, don't think I've ever seen that trope lol. Usually the good guy manages to take out the bad guy through self sacrifice like Bebop or The Professional. He just died for absolutely nothing. They could've even stopped the shuttle with Lucy from getting to Arisaka. Weird staging in that regard.
>>17668One aspect that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me was that the reason that Arasaka wanted David in the first place was to get test data information on this cyber skeleton, and that it was intended for Adam, right? Yet when Smasher goes up against David with the skeleton, he treats the skeleton with disdain and it basically seems inferior to Smasher's current setup anyway.
Aside from that, I think David might have had a very slim chance if he wasn't in the grip of multiple cyber psychosis incidents at once. The deck was really stacked against him though, not just because of CP, but because he's also like a 17-18 year old kid, and Smasher has decades of experience and lots more top of the line corptech at his fingertips.
>>17683Yeah I'm not saying it didn't make sense Smasher would win. Just saying it was a strange ending I can't recall ever seeing before.
>Final showdown>Good guy gets killed immediately What really didn't make sense to me is like I said:
>He managed to get to the ship lucy was on before it got to Arisaka HQ, so he could've avoided even going there.They should've just had Lucy and fixer man get there first
>Why was Arisaka mad at fixer man and saying he fucked up?Didn't get it at all. Seems like he did everything right. The problem was their extraction crew never made it to the battlefield. Also I didn't understand why the Arisaka units didn't make it there.
Then on a lesser note, the 3D CGI car physics were all fucked up and their car seemed insanely OP for no explainable reason. Especially after they showed us the Miltech vehicles being so powerful. Also didn't understand what the point of clotheslining the truck headed for the canyon. It ended up crashing into the canyon anyways, what was the point of that? Also Lucy waking up in the car ride with fixer man and then she kills the two henchmen, and doesn't kill fixer man. Typical "gotta let the bad guy live, because we need him for later in the story" trope. Could've staged it better.
>>17685>No cyber psychosisActually I take that back. There is but it's not as straight forward as in edgerunners. They say that you only really lose touch with reality if you're using your neural upgrades for purely mental tasks all the time. That you become trapped in your own head.
>>17685Thanks for the rec anon
>>17684>Then on a lesser note, the 3D CGI car physics were all fucked up and their car seemed insanely OP for no explainable reasonFalco whole job is to be a getway driver for cyberpunks (and a highly sought one), Im not surprised his car is a tank and he is a god of driving, even if it was over the top, everything is anyway
>The problem was their extraction crew never made it to the battlefield>Seems like he did everything rightsending david to arasaka tower in rampage mode was what they had issues with, which is why arasaka had to chase him through the city rather than just pick him up after the battle
>>17685nice gonna add it to the pile
It was pretty mediocre, I should have just watched Dead Leaves again.
>>18007You’re type is the kind that’s not real?
Now that the gamers are gone, can we admit that this anime sucked?
>>18456the anime is a lot better than the game tho
>>18456It wasn’t necessarily bad especially not in comparison to the average anime today but I wouldn’t cal it good. Just meh tier
>>18456it was good actually
>>18456nice /v/ template post faggot
Edgerunners had me hoping for a good cyberpunk anime but I was frankly disappointed in all aspects. It's not that it's bad, it's just mediocre in terms of characters, plot direction and themes. All in all boring/10 for me. If (you) liked it, I guess you found something to enjoy in it that I did not
>>18456It’s the most “just ok” anime I’ve seen in a while, but I haven’t liked Studio Trigger since Gurren Lagann
>>21059NTA but
>muh /v/erminHave you been unbanned again? Please go and stay go.
>>21061what the fuck are you talking about schizo
>>17353>>17362Anyone know what the videos were?
Glad I didn’t watch Edgepoop financed by fascist Poopland.
>>18456 >can we admit that this anime sucked?Yes. Boring story with an annoying protagonist; like the actual game, it failed to deliver its hype.
edgerunners season 2 was better than season 1
>>30704And by a wide margin, it mogged season 1 so mercilessly it was insane
i finished cyberpunk edgerunners 2.
i really like the art direction, character designs, the cinematography and composition of shots. as usual studio trigger is very creative and has many styles that are completely iconic of them. their work is a pleasure to look at. the music is mostly good. the voice acting (i watched in english) is mostly good. every now and then i'd cringe at some line but really it's mostly the fault of the writing.
the main problem i had with it was that at around the halfway point of the series i couldn't stop asking myself why these characters are attached to each other. why did talia fixate on roman? why did roman fixate on D? why did capri abandon D for talia but then return to D?
in summary it was good but i like the first one better. edgerunners 1's plot made more sense
>>30707>why did talia fixate on roman? Because he was seemingly the first person ever to see her the way she wanted someone to see her, as she discovered thru his camera.
>why did roman fixate on D? Because he's a cool brody dude that saved his life and Roman is 12. I had an older cousin when I was a kid who I thought was cool as hell because he reminded me of Sasuke.
>why did capri abandon D for talia if I'm not mistaken Talia was among the people that were compatible with her, she likely wanted a body she could take over completely (which she does get later)
>but then return to DThat never happened. D is the one that removed the Capri chip from Talia's body because he wanted to be with Capri.
