Regarding Edgerunners: I didn't get it. Admittedly, my standards for watchable anime are extremely high; I've only watched more than one episode of maybe a dozen series ever. I thought this one was mediocre as hell.
Also, I have no idea why people pretended that Cyberpunk ever became a good game.
It’s “supposed” to be a sad story because there are no good stories in Night City.
Of course, that little tidbit is lost in the rest of the media franchise idealizing and celebrating the utter degeneration of all race and culture in the world.
I think people are just really enamored with the cyberpunk aesthetic and David was enough of a lovable punk for people to buy into his story. I think the show nailed the texture and glam of cyberpunk pretty well. The character designs are top notch. Studio Trigger is really good at creating instant chemistry between their characters and the audience as well.
Where they let the show down was the actual plot. It's sad, but I can't be that sad about characters that are knowingly steering themselves off a cliff.

Because people rationalized that they weren't idiots for hyping it up for years and pre-ordering it since it finally became "good". It's just cope.

Curious to hear what series managed to make the cut. Any unsung gems in there?
