TL;DR:
- Directed by Kai Ikarashi (responsible for episode 6 of season one)
- Standalone story
- 10 episodes
- “A raw chronicle of redemption and revenge”
- “I wasn’t satisfied with the sadness… so I want you to be even more sad now.” - Bartosz Sztybor (writer/producer of both seasons)
- Key art
Oh no, I don’t mean Edgerunners was my entry. I mean that Cyberpunk 2077 led me to further cyberpunk content, which led me to explore cyberpunk anime after a lifetime of being an ignorant anime hater. I can see why it looked like I meant Edgerunners was my entry though!
That said, I don’t hate Edgerunners by any means, I just didn’t feel the emotional connection people felt to the characters and story. I enjoyed seeing Night City in anime, and I think there was a lot of talent on display but yeah, I just didn’t feel much compared to what others seem to have felt.
