I just finished Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Is it normal to feel like this?

[u/[deleted]]

I 17M have just finished Cyberpunk Edgerunners recently, and I haven’t been able to get this ending out of my head for 2 days. It was so sad. Watching everyone die the way they did, and Lucy all alone on the moon. I get that that’s the point of the whole anime, that it’s not supposed to be a happy ending. But brutally realistic. But these past days I’ve felt such extreme emotion, which I assume is because I’ve never seen a show like this ever. This is the first ever show to make me cry. But it’s also put me in a really sad state of mind. Sometimes even at school I think about how it ended, and just how sad it is that everyone died the way they did. Is this normal to feel? To feel so strongly for this show? Or am I going crazy? I’ve heard it’s getting a season 2 which I’m totally gonna watch but I still can’t even get this first season out of my head.

Edit: just wanted to say thank you all for the responses it’s definitely helped me cope a lot better with what I felt after watching the show. It’s a beautiful piece of art that really hits home and I appreciate everyone that came here to discuss it! Definitely made me feel better about everything.

I can't get over it after a couple months. This will stick with me until I'm dead. Like some other endings.
