External reviews from AniList users — not Anime Guider reviews.
A great show about a person who wants to grant the dreams of others in a dystopian world that tells you its impossible.
~~~ CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS is an anime that was able to set up an incredibly overpowering atmosphere from just the first episode. For those that are unaware, this is an anime based within the world of a video game called Cyberpunk 2077 released in 2020. However, there is a tabletop role-playing game…

It started off bad and it got even worse.
I haven't played the game, so let this be a considered as either a source of bias or a source of impartiality, however you see fit. I'm guessing that having played the game could help you enjoy it more, since you get to see characters you liked in the game…
Read full review on AniList →an incredibly accurate depiction of the Cyberpunk universe coupled with Studio Triggers breathtaking visuals
Cyberpunk and, to some extent, Steampunk have been two themes, who are criminally underused in our current Pop-culture. Especially Cyberpunk, depicting a dystopian future of the digitalization currently taking place, was bound to be a major success, if a company decided to create a new IP based arou…

Dreams don't always come true. A tragic story of a "special" boy who risks everything for the girl he loves.

I must be honest, when I started this anime I did not have high expectations, I started it almost out of boredom.
I was never really interested in the Cyberpunk video game and my fear was that I wouldn't be able to understand anything about its 'world'. But I was wrong, and how wrong I was!

Read full review on AniList →Progressively disintegrates into dogshit. A stupidly written clusterfuck of cliches.
Take any successful dystopian sci fi venture, one of the major parts of writing such stories is building the world properly.
First, you teleport your audience into a different world, and then you get started with the plot proceedings. This show, however, doesn't tell the story in this traditional w…

Read full review on AniList →Very well done show, however it unfortunately had so much more potential which was limited by its short runtime
Edgerunners was really good and did everything super well, however, the short runtime (while making it easy to watch due to each episode being packed with plot development) meant that they neglected giving the story "downtime". In my opinion stories have three general modes they can be in at any one…

*SPOILERS*
This show was the ultimate bait and switch-- making me believe David was more than a cis-het-male self-insert and that Lucy's *Manic Pixie Dream Girl* archetype might have actually been badass. David *is* a self-insert, gets buff and ugly, doesn't learn from Maine's cyberpsychosis, and p…

For me, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is Studio Trigger's magnum opus. It's one of the most breathtaking anime I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Even if this show were purely action spectacle, which it's not, it would still be worth watching for the visuals alone. It's so vibrant & visually alluring,…
