Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Netflix Anime Chips In on 13th September

you lost me at anime , but then i decided to still watch so , what exactly is an anime ? Is it just cartoons that has a more realistic aesthetic to it instead of caricature or what . this doesn’t look like anime to me , just a semi-realistic cartoon.

@nomither6 anime is short for animation, or more specifically it's referring to animation created in Japan. It's a wide genre in terms of themes and intended audiences. This anime is created by Studio Trigger, who are well-known for their other works. It's very obviously styled as 'anime' as you can get.

Looks great 😁 definitely more mature on the gore front.

It's a Studio Trigger anime with a cyberpunk setting. That's all I could have asked for, so I'm pretty excited for this.

@nomither6 Anime is basically just any Japanese animation. So there's a huge variety of anime, ranging from family-friendly shows such as Sailor Moon or Studio Ghibli movies, all the way to the more graphic things such as this show.

I've had mixed feelings on Studio Trigger over the years, as I feel like they're a disappointing successor to Studio Gainax overall, but Hiroyuki Imaishi is directing this, and his work is almost always incredibly solid.

Anyway, this looks edgy and absurd in the right ways. Even if the game itself turned out to disappoint, at least this seems like it's shaping up nicely.

@nomither6 Anime is just Japanese animation. That's it. It encompasses a wide variety of genres, art styles, subject matter, etc. While some art-styles might be more prevalent in Japanese animated media (just as a lot of modern American cartoons have that thin-line animation style, aka CalArts style, to them), anime isn't limited to a single look or aesthetic.

This looks pretty good. Generally Netflix has been doing well with these animated adaptions. Arcane, Castlevania (partially), Cuphead and the just released Tekken series were all really solid offerings.

Really liked Ragnarok, Castlevania and Tekken so bring it on.

@crimsontadpoles @Gloamin thanks

Studio Trigger will do more justice with the IP than CDPR did with the game.

I think this anime is more nfsw than the game. The story looks great and it's made by studio trigger, can't wait to watch it 😃

Funny how this series looks and actually feels more "cyberpunk-y" then the actual game its based on, lol.

@Mylo
It's a pretty good game right now especially with the PS5 version, which is night and day better than PS4. It's story and writing are generally pretty good and the combat feels good with the driving passable.
