Boy Modifies His Body And Becomes A Cyberpunk Edgerunner

A young man named David Martinez tries to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an edgerunner.
Anime Name: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

[@Zetsumari]

I feel like the doc lowkey cared about David not wanting to see him go psycho. Their last interaction was pretty sad

[@HitlerLovesAnime]

Why? Please reply to me!

[@Mediados]

I mean he watched David grow up essentially. Of course he cared about the money as well, but he did everything he could to help David.

That really is a bittersweet ending. Lucy achieved her dream but it paled to the memory of her time with David on the virtual moon. Her basking in the rays was reliving that moment with him. Also... Rebecca whhyyy

Really sad too that she finally achieved her ultimate goal in life but she realized in the journey to achieve her dream she lost the one thing she cared for the most and that is David. Broke my heart for a while watching him tearing himself apart just to make sure she's safe

[@Voltaic_Fire]

It's Cyberpunk, nobody deserves what they get, there's no such thing as a happy ending really. That's what makes it tragically beautiful.

You gotta respect how this anime is so good because there is no such thing as plot armor and straight up killed the main character, sometimes it makes the anime ass sometimes it makes it great, in this case it was absolutely well executed.

Apparently David's player was one of the few that realized that EMP is not a dump stat. You'd be surprised how often that happens in Night City.

This is why I customize my stats instead of doing the templates or cookie cutter builds. To pump up EMP to max 8.

Thank you for making this recap as accurate as possible. I cried inside for a whole day after finishing this anime and I'm still sad about it, it's THE best show/anime I have ever watched and I loved every second of it. Honestly the thing I liked the most about this anime is watching how Lucy and David grow into each other to the point where they are dependent on each other and by episode 10 David sacrificing himself to save Lucy and let her achieve her dream. It's also the saddest thing too because by the time David is knowingly about to die him and Lucy just know all they really care about is to be with each other and that was just harsh to see.

[@jessemartinez730]

I like to see These type of anime as prequels to another where the protagonist meets a serious badass chick (which in this case would be Lucy) and falls in love with her but faces the challenge of making her fall since the only one she ever loved (David) died a long time ago thus no longer trusts love.

After watching edgerunner and playing cyberpunk, I feel empty especially with how little npcs there are in the game followed by how the locations within the edgerunner anime felt empty as well in the game. Only reason to play is to kill Adam Smasher and t-bag him till his body explode. Really want a better crossover between edgerunner and CP to fill this void with reassurance

[@C.5.]

Only mistake with this anime was that it was not long enough, I definitely feel like the content the writers wanted to cover would've fit perfectly into 12 or maybe 14 episodes. But I guess this is partially to fit the idea that Night City is a fast paced city to live in. Do watch this as the experience is better than any possible recap(no offense, it's just that good). As much as I want a season 2, I think it's better writing wise that one doesn't happen as it fits with the writing and setting better that no happy ending does exist.

[@plsdontbanmeagainyoulibtards]

I feel like a hipocrite for saying this because I watch so many recapped movies and anime, but fr go watch the full anime now. If you haven't started this video yet do yourself a favor and watch it. It's very short unlike a lot of other anime, you can finish it in a day binge or a few days watching just an hour or so at a time. There are NO dull moments. In fact, the anime was already shortened way more than it should've been, so this is almost like watching a recap of a recap. Unless you really hate the entire premise of it, it WILL keep your attention. Even if you already finished this video, if you're more interested than you expected you should still watch the entire thing. Since the show is so condensed you will still miss a whole lot in this recap. Also, let me just say I have no issue with these recaps I think they're great. I just think this is the perfect anime for people who don't want to invest a lot of time into a show, and/or have a short attention span.
