Spoiler-free reviewAfter finishing Edgerunners 2, I was left with a complex mix of feelings. On the one hand, I thoroughly enjoyed the story of this installment and will rewatch it several times for that reason. On the other hand, as a lore enthusiast, the overly unrestrained artistic expression in Edgerunners 2 dealt an almost devastating blow to the established setting. Perhaps because there are too many characters and an overwhelming amount of information involved, the pacing of this season is extremely fast. Therefore, I do not recommend getting distracted while watching, as it is very easy to miss certain important plot points or details. However, despite the fast pacing, Studio Trigger handled it quite well, and it basically does not affect the viewing experience. In terms of character development, Edgerunners 2 indisputably surpasses its predecessor, having put considerable effort into depicting the characters and the relationships between them. You can feel the unique connections between each character, whether it be family, friendship, or uniquely ambiguous relationships. Every character has sufficient justification for their motives. Particularly on a second viewing, you will notice many small, noteworthy details, as well as many impressive frames in how character dialogue is composed. By the way, I highly recommend a second viewing of this anime. As I mentioned earlier, the pacing of this anime is very fast. During your first watch, you will miss many details, and these details will significantly impact your understanding of the subsequent plot. Seriously, I highly, highly, highly recommend a second watch.
>>291717496Having mentioned so many merits, here are the flaws that left me rather dissatisfied. Although the visuals remain top-tier and the tension is maxed out, Studio Trigger clearly let themselves go a bit too much this time. By the almost exaggerated performances in the later episodes, I completely couldn't recognize this as the Cyberpunk world. Honestly, as such a fanatic lore fan, after seeing such outrageous depictions, I even briefly considered relegating this work to non-canon status rather than a continuation of the realistic 2020 world-building. Moreover, the volume of this anime is visibly massive; even though the final episode added a few extra minutes of runtime, it was inevitable that some settings and visuals were rushed. This results in first-time viewers missing out on events and details they were supposed to know all over the place. Additionally, perhaps due to budget issues, a climactic moment at the end of the final episode was glossed over, leaving me confused for a few seconds before I realized what had happened. So, I categorize this under the flaws. Overall, my personal rating is an 8.6. The story is fantastic, the visuals are highly dynamic, and the composition has great depth. However, the overly unrestrained approach to the lore is a point deduction for me. To briefly summarize at the end: currently, the anime has very distinct characteristics. I highly recommend it to casual viewers as well as fans of the previous work. As for fans of the game, you will also be able to find familiar elements within the animation. But if you are a hardcore fan of the tabletop game's lore, I advise you to watch with caution.
D is literally me
>>291713727They will all gonna die anyway
>>291717526Slight spoilerish answers to popular questions. >Is there a romantic storyline between Talia and Roman?I can only say that if they were dating, it would just constitute puppy love, as both are kids—one is 15 and the other is 12. But unfortunately, this question doesn't even hold up in the anime because their relationship remains in an ambiguous state from beginning to end. At the very least, I don't think they've crossed that line. >Does it have ties to the game or Edgerunners 1?I believe the connection between Edgerunners 2 and Edgerunners 1 is stronger than its connection to the game. After all, the previous question already touched upon the ambiguity of the film's timeframe, but it definitively takes place after Edgerunners 1. Additionally, no familiar characters from the game appear in this anime, so if that's what you're coming for, you might be disappointed. >How is the music?Similarly, this installment of Edgerunners doesn't lose to its predecessor in emotional resonance. Especially with the enhancement of the music during certain climactic sequences, the score gave me full-body goosebumps. In short, the music is so good, even a devil may cry. >Is the song "A Rusty Dream" in the anime?Yes, and its role is somewhat similar to the famous "I Really Want to Stay at Your House" from the previous work. >How strong is D exactly?The power scaling community is about to experience a massive upheaval. I won't say much about the specifics; I'll leave the shock for you. >How strong is the emotional aftermath?Speaking from personal experience, the aftermath of a second watch is the strongest. When you watch it again after understanding everything and picking up those details once more, you truly get a different feeling. Finally, I want to repeat a quote from the writer: "Sometimes, happiness can give people more strength than tragedy." I believe Edgerunners 2 genuinely achieved this.
>>291717558>The power scaling community is about to experience a massive upheavalGood, I'm sick of seeing "SONGBIRD IS LE STRONGEST SCARIEST PERSON IN CYBERPUNK!!" videos
>reviewers are saying plot is weaker than in Edgerunners 1>Edgerunners 1>PlotI don't feel so good
LET ME SEE YOUR 1 MORE DAY FACEhttps://youtu.be/G63iPGvgGYs?si=I-VfTfMmvdBrppxr
>>291717584The main complaint is that the new season is trying to do much with various running storylines compared to how S1 was tightly focused on David's rise as an Edgerunner in Night City.I was worried about that as well when the premise of the season two was revealed.
>>291717584What reviews? Everywhere I see is that it's much better than S1
>>291716296it takes place in the same universe, with the exact same mercenary drug dealers shitso yes it's season 2
>>291715850 implications is enough for people. I expect there will be art at least
me tomorrow
>>291718006Do people really play games in that position? That looks nauseous
>>291713727
>>291717698Nice, that sounds exactly like my kind of story. I love ADD stories with multiple plotlines where a lot of things are left a bit vague.
>>291713727They all look overdesigned except for the child. Last season had much better looking characters.
>>291718264This, with the exception of Rebecca, I could easily picture what their in-game models would like if the S1 cast appeared in 2077 but here they look more anime-fied in a sense.
>>291718264I mean yea but going a bit over the top in this setting seems fine to me.
>>291714352This but unironically.
>>291717496>>291717526Ai generated review lmao
>>291713727no Beccano deal
>>291718742>summarize this threads opinions into a rewiew ah prompt
>>291718819Roman is not going to cause a shit stir with Western roasties and their simps online, SAD, won't be able to make fun of them
>>291718819She's a pancake now, anon. She found a way to become even flatter.
So, what are you guys expectation? Something as tragic as S1, or something on a more hopeful note?
>>291718953this setting doesn't deserve any hopeonly suffering
>>291718006It looks autistic as fuck.
>D is the true David of the sequel and he goes down in a blaze of glory together with his AI waifu
>>291718953The CDPR guy who wrote the season along with Trigger said it was supposed to be more fucked up than S1.
>>291718953Deliver on the scene where D / Kapri brings the apocalypse on Night City (which I'm guessing will be the equivalent of Maine's death for the tone of the story) and I'll be happy desuJust a full episode of the city going into complete chaos
Are there any pure humans left in the setting? being a cyborg looks like a nightmare in Cyberpunk.
>>291717526Pity about the lore abuse and a similarly sped-up later episode problem. The major problem with the predecessor was character development, so glad that is better
>>291719161Morgan Blackhand's entire thing id that he can go toe to toe with anyone despite having no cybernetic enchancements.
>>291719192Really? Seems like the rushed character development is even worse this time around.
>>291719231Blackhand has chrome.
>>291714939>literally made by triggerIrrelevant. Anime is not just an art style, it´s the stories and themes themselves, and perhaps more importantly, how those stories are conveyed. Commissioned work over which a studio doesn´t have full creative control are just anime looking cartoons. Things like this or suicide squad isekai are merely western producers saying they want the anime market. That said one can hardly blame trigger for selling out seeing how dismal the quality of the actually japanese productions is this season. Securing a budget large enough to be able to keep a quality standard and experiment a little with style is no small thing these days. The market is what it is and things are probably going to get worse.
>trusting corporate reviews of a anti-corporate animeTrust the plan.
>>291719365Retard
>>291713727What's Sumika doing here?
>>291719231>despite having no cybernetic enchancements.Why do you think they call him blackhand.Hint: it isn't because he's black.He just wasn't as borged out compared to the average booster or full body replacement ogres like smasher.
>>291719161There was one ripperdoc V can interact with that has a buff frame and no visible cyberware. V compares it to being like a dentist with no teeth before he explains that even the most basic cyberware implants can cause a lag in reaction time due to the data transfer bottleneck in the brain-computer interface.
>>291718052i do it w/o any back support. it makes my shoulders hurt. after playing ck2 for ten hours for prlly the hundredth time i just decided to uninstall steam. fuck my macos choom life. sry for o-t
When will it be uploaded? Midnight Japan time?
>>291718006I will never understand why Japanese women love to play that garbage non-game. If this is animal crossing. Not sure, I hate that cutesy shit.
>>291713727Both seasons are normalfag shit. cyberpunk 2077 is a awful game and rebecca should have been used for a better trigger anime instead of this shit.
>>291721969Calm down, jeet.
>>291715850Based.
>>291716592She always seemed late 20's, going by the way she was written. Of course that just makes it even more based.
What's Roman's fate?
>>291717584>reviewers are sayinggod what a dog shit format to release your show like this, really kills all hype, discussion and interest in it just for the short-lived burst of attention
