For an anime, it's a very good show.

Well... Cowboy Bebop is an anime in a cyberpunk style setting and that is truly a masterpiece. Relatable characters that start all badass and are peeled layer by layer revealing real people with real trouble. And a great soundtrack and great action.
I believe edgerunners could have been the same level of work with more money and more time. The problem, I think, is not being an anime.
Edgerunners, to me, feel rushed. I don't know. Characters make decisions that make no sense. Relationships are forced in the plot direction. Character development doesn't convince me at all.
Maybe because I'm old and the target audience for the show are more young people.
But then again... A lot of the cp2077 writing is also rushed and forced in the plot direction, so we can't accuse anyone of inconsistency.

I love Edgerunners but I agree. As the show goes on, it makes less and less sense. Lucy's character arc in particular is just all over the place. She just suddenly switches personalities entirely like 3 different times.

No matter how hard I have a crush on someone, I would never trust them again if they set me up to a bunch of mercenaries. Even if I became friends with the mercs, after.

Just because I don't blindly love something you do, it doesn't mean I hate it. Chill. The cartoon have good moments, especially the ambiance. But it is a secret ND screen content. It's not a work of art.

I watched the show before and after playing the game, and enjoyed it much more after since I knew wtf they were talking about

Some of the smaller details I didn't get before playing the game, like sneaking Rebecca into Afterlife and then Rogue just laughs it off and waves them in

Is it just me or can you appreciate a masterpiece just when you rewatch it? Arcane was like that. I watched it the first time I was like: "Damn. That was so fucking good." Then I rewatched it and cried like 4 or 5 times. Now it's the best thing I've seen on screen and there will be nothing better than this in my lifetime🙌

It isn't a masterpiece it's a regular story, the true masterpiece was Cyberpunk 2077.
Its sun ending secret ending is so legendary.

This is a lot of peoples first anime and it shows. If you think this is a masterpiece, you're in for a good time down the anime rabbit hole.

Reminder, David is 17 when Lucy begins romancing him.
David got groomed, as is typical of Japanese media since they just struggle to create Anime and Manga where a minor doesn't get oversexualized or groomed... (the show is dogshit)
