Lucky D.
fuck off D self inserters
>>291839603Yupi's long legs locked around my waistNow!
>>291839649but he's literally me
honest thoughts on this character?
>>291839603Thoughts?
i just want them to be happy man :(
>>291839669Would she let me have in-brain VR steaming hot sex if I asked nicely?
>>291839603Yeah, fuck off Roman self-inserters
>>291839649get off the Internet Omi, Grok is just better than you. That's no fault of D's.
>>291839669She cute
How does a dad as sweet as him exist in a horrible place like Night City?
>>291839672accurate s2 was very mid
Any corrections?>>291839669Her relationship with D was very similar to David and Lucy's, she starts off as the manic pixie dream girl to D but I felt like they swapped near the end.
>>291839696Hairdressers get an exception to Gang Violence. Everyone needs Haircuts
fuck you I like her
>>291839674THEY WILL BE HAPPY
POST GROTESQUE TALIA MOUTHPLATES
>>291839714>D was the real manic pixie girl

>>291839742dont you think so? it felt like at the end he is the one to "save her" and give her what she was looking for. Even if just briefly.
>>291839672Makes sense.Reminder, that RT scores are not the score out of 100%. It's how many people think it's roughly good vs bad.Also, only 16, and 9 reviews? Seems weird, but I guess it's an anime.
>>291839734not a gremlin but a full blown goblin
BEAT OMI!
>>291839734I hate her because apparently half the animation frames from the season went to this scene (until half way, and then it slideshowed as well)
>>291839761power couple
>>291839669I like her mouth
>>291839769Why don't real girls look like her?
>>291839774super secret nazi sigil
>>291839734She had like 7 fake out deaths during the entire season
>ROMAAAAAAN>MY AI GF WON'T TALK TO ME>WE NEED TO FILM MORE SNUFF, ROMAN
>CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS 2' staff explained how the sequel draws inspiration from '90s anime>The character designs and art direction intentionally differ from Season 1, aiming for a '90s anime aesthetic that conveys a stronger sense of struggle for the characters>Ikarashi also designed Talia Yang with a late '90s look after president Masahiko Otsuka told him to design her however he liked most. They settled on a "feline" design with a braided, cat-like tail for her hair>For the soundtrack, Ikarashi chose Tsuneo Imahori (composer for TRIGUN) to capture a "late afternoon '90s vibe.">via Studio TRIGGER 2026 Panel @ Anime Expo
Now i feel like re watching s1 but at the same time I'd rather not be upset
>>291839776What kind of face plate does she have?It looks Arasaka, maybe she was trying to piss off her dad by not getting kang tao stuff.
I love roman so muchwhat a fucking goob
>>291839815This guy had a big set of brass balls on him for a corpo.He did not gaf about dying and was talking shit the whole time
If Omi really loved D, why didn't she use her superior gorilla strength to pin him down and correct him?
>>291839603>body destroyed>slaved to an amalgamated sprite cobbled from the deadShould have stayed with the shota and made heist vids for a living
>>291839669She reminds me of Peridot
>>291839845she didn't
>>291839838yeah its wild he kept antagonizing D
>>291839838you gotta have Ice in your Veins to be a Night City Corpo. They're real psychos
>>2918397406 children,maybe more
>rmt found nothing>3 anti virus softwares found nothingGuess last thread's malware worries were false or I'm dumb
>>291839881Imagine
>>291839881so surely one of them will be white with red hair
>>291839845Shes a nice young lady that was raised right.
>>291839881She won't live to even have one
>>291839790That would require them to put in the work to get fit and shit lmaoWomen hate work lmao>>291839805Yeah I think it was pretty obvious that they were going for a more 90s look for the anime.
>>291839904WRONG
You could rape Roman right now and there's absolutely nothing Talia can do about it
>>291839892are you seriously freaking out over litterbox links
yupi's pussy getting sopping wet as she watches D kill people
>>291839881I dont think she has ovaries anymore
>>291839911King convinced the entire world she will LIVE
>>291839916What do you think Omi's been doing every morning
Sasuke kun............
>>291839672It’s too short. It could be AOTY if it was 16 or even 24 episodes. But it’s Netflix so it can only be 10 episodes at most, which doesn’t give it enough time to develop unfortunately
>>291839911King should put in every corner of the roman x talia fan art to show support
I really am slow. I'm just now realizing that the satellite Capri sees in episode 3, which makes her smile as she resolves to catch up to it, is the red light that appears in the final episode. In the end, did they make it?
>>291839669worst part of the season
>>291839917I am very stupid so yeahHope you understand and don't make too much fun of me
>>291839920Anon ovaries are in the belly not the legs
This really needed to be weekly, but what's done is done.
>>291839669i identify with her most out of all of the characters on the slate this series
>>291839672????
>>291839943she must have. they wouldn't have included it otherwise
>DCaprihorrible AIs from beyond the BlackwallYupiKyokoOmi (rejected)Roman (against his will)>RomanTaliaJessieOmi (Rebound)>Kingthat hippo from Madagascar
>>291839922Because King has been SO RIGHT before, amirite?That bitch was dead a month later
>>291839795kyoko... had a hard life.
>>291839937I can't unsee it eitherBut I do like seeing a Sasuke design in a better written characterBut he really needed to have an undercut
>>291839989you will not speak ill of KingSHE WILL LIVE
>>291839937>It ain't gonna suck itself, Roman
>>291839795Her forehead chrome saved her from death
>>291839922He absolutely did not convince me of that.
>>291839989King has literally been right about everything, and I have fact checked this in a peer reviewed study.
>>291839938I don't think it's a Netlix issue. Otherwise, their Netflix Original anime would all be 10 instead of 12-24. The Polish and Trigger simply feel 10 is good enough
Have to say i enjoyed Cyberpunk S2 much more than Panty S2. Now, what's next for Trigger?
why does kyoko look like that
>B-cups boob hatGIWTWM
talia eating roman whole with her maelstrom-ass articulating spider limb pussy
They made it.
>>291840016And I have had it confirmed by real night city patriots
why did they make this scene so erotic
>>291839740No, it is so over. They let both Roman and Talia live through their stories as a cruel joke. Roman will never see her again and Talia will at any second offscreen. The irony of David and Lucy being separated by death is that at least they had some time living and fucking together before it all went south.
>>291840069oh shut up faggot
S2 would've been 10x better if Roman was a girlThoughts?
>>291839649Yeah, I self insert my D into sexy AI bitches, how could you tell?
>>291840062>Chromed out girl ogling shota's organic bodyIt just feels right
>>29184002810 seasons of inferno cop

>>291839672I feel like people rated S2 lower than S1 solely because it wasn't a tragic love story. That sappy shit hooks normies like cocaine.
>>291840126I could have saved her
>>291840135i know broi know
>>291840077Your waifu is dead meat no chrome, accept it
>>291840145not my waifu I just hate doomer faggots
>>291839714>Any corrections?Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, where shota?
pokeranger omicould you imagine a feature film where she's partnering up with ash to save the world or some shit???
>>291840085>D as a girl>Tallia as a boy>King as a simp old hag>Valia as a loser old manCould work
>>291840164>Valiawho?
>>291839714where is roman???
>>291839968You're looking at the score of the whole series, anon.The average of season 1 + season 2.
>>291840122>it wasn't a tragic love storyIt technically was a tragic first love story, but it might not click with the masses as much as David and Lucy did since Roman is just a kid, an observer most of the time, who couldn't directly save Talia like David did with Lucy, and Talia's plot only had Roman as a fond memory, her ordeal was family drama in the end.In short, Roman and Talia is a first love thing that wasn't the focus, while David and Lucy was a fully realized love story where their relationship was very much a main plot point.
>>291840095>10 season of kino>Inferno cop 2do it trigger
>>291839666Yupi sex>Manic crazed riding turning into leg locked energetic missionary with nails across the back and numerous love bites>Depressed cold fish blankly staring out the window until its time to finish you off with a half hearted hand jobDepends on what mood you get her.
Omi owes me beating me half to death with her gorilla arms
Yupi was actually pretty cool. I like how she wasn't a coward, she was down to fight Arasaka to the very end.
>>291840159>>291840170Talia please, think of the consequences...
Capri controlled Talia is so fucking hot
>>291840156First time with Night City, hero?
>>291839669She looks like she was pulled straight out of Panty & Stocking, which always make me laugh.
>>291840207put his hairless pink bussy in there or I'm hooking your nervous system up to a rogue AI
All these Yupi-likers getting a bit uppity in here...
Roman and D both chose the best girls btw
I'm not into constructs or shotas, or shitty sasuke for that matter. Where are the cute girls in night city?
>>291839740Princess carry the Shota!
>>291839697
>>291840223I forgot to check while watching, but did she tear her tits off?
>>291840243They were each others' best girl. Such a waste.
>The satellite Crapi is pointing out is actually the Cristal Palace>The light goes out.>It's the moment when the security goes out in the ending where V is about to infiltrate the place months later.
>>291839769one of the last memories that D made with omi is beating her ouch
>>291840230not at all choom
>>291839672S2's premise was already a trainwreck that nobody could stop, none of what the characters did mattered so it didn't feel impactful. The giant scrap mecha at the end felt like somebody's obsession being shoehorned in and it also hardly mattered. Weak season.
>>291840231She's basically a Trigger design in its purist form, just pure, undiluted zaniness, jagged shapes, contrasting colors, and style.
>>291840248funny, roman will do most of the carrying in their relationship given she's a cripple
>>291840296so fuarking KINO
>>291840230>She dies because it's Night City and, well, there are no happy endings in Night City okayYeah, shut up faggot she lives
>>291840271Then you should know that after the flare fades, doom is the only menu item
>>291840230They left Night City.
>>291840279>The giant scrap mecha at the end felt like somebody's obsession being shoehorned inAkira.
Why so nervous?
>>291840296I thought I would cringe more at Roman's early uncertainty at Talia's advances but it was quite well handled, he is just 12 years old and that's most likely his first romance, he was more open about wanting Talia by his side at fhe end, but they had to go their separate ways.
>>291840321now you know that's not true pal
>>291840330They brought enough with them to never escape
>>291840334He is a piece of shit, but that is meant to imply he cared about Talia as a daughter deep inside, but Krill choose his career in the end.
>>291840341If Johnny gets to escape in a stolen body, so do they.
>>2918396724 or 5 was the last episode I enjoyed, then it became a drag
I didn't read anything or watch any trailers after I saw Ikarashi was directing and I just finished I'm so happy I don't know what the reception is but I couldn't have asked for more
>>291840352The Corp is mother, the Corp is father
>>291840334Because he's killing his own daughter for his career aspirations. Even he can recognize how fucked up it is.
>>291840355Johnny didn't run, there is no escape make your timeha ha ha
I feel sorry for Puni's mother
>>291840335He realizes his feelings over the course of the series, its subtle. He's shocked initially when Talia declares him her boyfriend, thinking she's just joking / using him as leverage for something. Then by the date he actually realizes she likes him but he's not sure if he likes her because he feels he might not be good enough. Then by the time he has a conversation about love with Omi he realizes he might likes her, I think.
>>291839666Apart from Capri (even she was kinda a letdown), Yupi might have been the only character I gave a shit about in this season.Wish this was more about her instead of these other fucking dumb clowns.My god, what a trainwreck of a season. It had a decent ending, but the logic of the characters, aside from Yupi, was so baffling I was actually fucking mad.Yupi was the only one that made sense:>fuck Arasaka and night city at all costsWhy tolerate something that enslaves them? Are these directors fucking insane?I mean I can see what they were going for, which is just a repeat of season 1 less well executed, but for some reason this season's characters infuriated me.Poor Yupi. She deserved a better story.
>>291839669More logical than the humans in this show.But kinda a waste.The relationship with D doesn't feel that earned. He ogles her for a bit and that's enough?
goats need to milked
>>291840405She deserved a dog's death, so she received one
>>291840418she will be milked by me after I breed her
what was kiril problem?pent up resentment from the suspicion of not being the real father?
>>291840255no, just grabbed them for a bit, Capri is not used to big tits.
>>291840431She's gonna be doing the milking I think.
>>291839674Roman is one of the most annoying child characters I've seen in a show.>that time when a 12 yr old just knew that arasaka agent was alive and that it tripped an alarm somewhere>not explained howwtf.That is inexcusable. Why the fuck would he know this shit?Isn't he meant to be just a kid out to record random shit? Why would he know this shit?
>>291840433Corporate life is just like that
>>291840433His problem ?Being mixed race,kiril yang = russo chinese Also picrel being better dad than he was
>>291840449we can both do it
>>291840439Well... relatable.>>291840433Typical corpo. Approximately 20% less bad than your average real corpo.The thing I don't understand is why the fuck he married the fridge. Their marriage makes no sense to me.
I just wanna call youuu...
>>291840420Corpo bugman spotted
>>291839911swiss army wife
>>291840459based
>>291840452Agent was breathing and alarm was built into him via heart rate monitor that sent data to trauma teamWe forgive your retardation,not your fault you are a brown retard
>>291840223>big chrome titsshe was insecure too lol
>>291840433It was a bit weird that he was always calm and then he had a sudden melty when weak said he was the father
>>291840473I swear,last time I saw this image she didnt have the rtx sticker
>>291840473All of this is good except for the speakers in the hair vents. The hair vents, if anything, should be actual air vents.
>>291840452I'm gonna piss in your 'ports, mano
>Cyberpunk 2 comes out>Cyberpunk 2087>Sidequest chain having to do some daredevil shit for a vid>Dialogue about how sinces its for a film and not a BD you have to get it right in one go since the film is expensive>An older Roman is your camera man>Sill mostly ganic, but now has a pretty good rep in Night City >Of course, some gangs show up to ruin the film >Roman stays behind you in the thick of it recording you>you clear the bad guys>"how about that, Roman? Perfect shot" >Roman laughs and replies "almost perfect, but I'll make it work"
>>291840433He got tired of Avida's retardation
>>291839672Deserved. Season 2 is up there with Cross Ange for me for trainwrecks and payoff that doesn't ever deserved.Everything between like ep 4 and 8 is just... god awful nonsense and the animation was not even close to as good as season 1.There's no shots of the city life like season 1 did, so you just have long drawn out shots of essentially nothing at times. I feel like they ran out of time and budget. That's my theory. It reeks of it.Is this dude the dumbest character in anime?I feel like I got stupider trying to understand him. I felt like it was chess or something with his decisions.>no he's just very very stupid
>>291840452>when a 12 yr old just knew that arasaka agent was alive and that it tripped an alarm somewhere>Kid lives in night city>Assuming he doesn't know what trauma team isNigga you are dumb
Fuck Lucy
>>291840492its simple, he was putting a facade of calm cool corpo but couldn't handle the truth that the KING is the true father of talia regardless of biology
>>291840534I will.
>>291840509More likely we'll get references like some Gonk saying they watched a Roman Carax flick last weekend during a cutscene
>>291840544Love this old fart like you wouldnt beliveRoman and Talia better give him 10 grandkids to spoil and squeal about
>>291840475
>>291840439They're not very big imo but they're perfect
>>291840452>Why the fuck would he know this shit?Everyone knows what Trauma Team is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDNrZrPCQZkIf they harm him enough they'll be alerted.
>>291840565what in the fuck made someone create this image
>>291840564Talia would probably get nervous about passing on her congenital disease to her kids so I doubt they would have more than one or two
>>291839740Not if arasaka exists.Yupi was the only good character and the only one that made any sense (yet made none, she was going out with a bang and postal because that's all you have left when corporations like Arasaka take everything).She didn't try to justify anything with morality or logic. She was just a straight up choom trying to become part of a Night City Legend while letting out her hate. Probably the only cast member that felt like a real human and not a human drone.
>>291840280Yeah, that's why I love their visual identity.
>>291840565Now put bill clinton in roman outfit
>>291840544>regardless of biologyTroon nonsense is unwelcome here
>>291840452They established what Trauma Team does in the very first episode
>>291840581If kid might die why not give him a big loving family with brothers and sistersTheres a reason people had 10 kids back in the day
>>291840531Why would he know anything about that?The alarm wasn't trauma team, it was Arasaka's alarm. Why is Roman even there? >a kid in Arasaka's main building>just recordingThis is so stupid.
I liked roman at first, but as time went on he started to remind me more and more of armin
>>291839672Kinda fair review. Season 1 was flashier and had a more dramatic story. We saw David's rise and fall, the lengths he went to for Lucy, the tragedy of being a nova-tier edgerunner and ultimately his stubborness in the face of authority. Tragic opening, tragic ending, lots of emotional whiplashSeason 2 was spread out between 4 characters with overlapping arcs. Like I genunely think that the friendship between Roman and D was one of the BEST friendships I've ever seen developed in a show. Like the shift into them being sorta friends to big brother/little brother coded was done so well and made their final goodbye so tragic.
>>291840612did you watch the show with your eyes closed and ears plugged nigga?
>>291840612>S1 schizo having a meltyMany such cases
>>291840467STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!
>>291839672this season doesn't even have a protagonist or good action. it's just some avant garde neo noir shit
>>291840612Not knowing Trauma Team is like not knowing what an ambulance or hospitals are.
>>291840620Yeah roman and d being retarded together was fun as fuckWould gladly remove kyoko scenes if it meant they could be bros for longer
Everything abour Weak Kingsley feels like he was somebodies table top character. Down to him cheesing a forced death scenarion by going "NOPE NOPE NOPE I HAVE A PLATINUM TRAUMA TEAM PACKAGE FUCK YOU"
>>291840573So does everyone have a trauma team in built chip?I don't think he was referring to that anyway.That's not the only problem with him.>knows all about night city (apparently)>goes into areas full of maelstrom, just to take vids>saw what Arasaka was doing behind the scenes>still tries to stop D from taking them onAt that point I would be "oh they're using us as experiments, they kinda dangerous to me if left unharmed".Then again, he does have "he's a child" plot armour.
>>291840658Anon are you even fucking watching the show
>>291840653Ive heard somewhere he was supposed to represent what would happen if david survived and continued being a merc
>>291840653>NOOOOO>Don't have a character in your anime based on a tabletop game have a character be like a tabletop character!
Which corpo would you work for?
>>291840658you're trolling or literally don't interact with any cyberpunk content at all
>>291840666>So retarded satan appears Impressive
>>291839603I was blindsided by Talia's role in the story. I casually watched the trailers before release but I didn't dive deep into every bit of info, so my impression was she was going to be some kind of Hit-Girl (from Kick-Ass) style tiny killer. Her attitude, her crazy amount of cyber. It would've made sense. Instead she's the littlest cancer patient and does basically nothing by herself. Weird.
>>291840596again, you're implying that this is specifically what he's referring to here.How do you know?The person is alive, so why would there be guaranteed trauma team? Someone would have to call right?So Arasaka has an alarm on him then. That's what he's referring to. And let's not get started on this dumb nigger.How does she know it will work or anything? This whole plot is retarded.
>>291840688NeoNETShadowrun > Cyberpunk
>>291840658>So does everyone have a trauma team in built chip?All relevant corpo rats have trauma team coverage from their company. It's basically medical insurance.>knows all about night city (apparently)>goes into areas full of maelstrom, just to take vidsKids do stupid stuff and overestimate themselves all the time. >saw what Arasaka was doing behind the scenes>still tries to stop D from taking them onThere is zero chance of D accomplishing anything against them. It's just a complicated form of suicide, which is what D was specifically doing. He did it all so he could die and the people around him recognize that in some way or other.
>>291840634>King starts off episode 1 at rock bottom >Over the course of the show, fails in every endeavor>Gets his ass beat, fails to protect Alvida, realizes Alvida was using him, Gets his gun destroyed by Krille, his peashooter jams when he tries to spare Talia killing him, Loses his jacket >In the end he never gave up hope and finds a new lease on life I could get into it with the others but the message of the season was that its harder to hold on to hope than to just go out in a blaze of glory. Talia, D and Weak all had to grapple with finding something to live for. And they all got it in the end. Yes I believe that Capri and D managed to evolve past the chips limits and make it to the satellite
Expanding Roman's rectum
>>291840710Neopets?
>>291840467
>>291840653>Down to him cheesing a forced death scenarion by going "NOPE NOPE NOPE I HAVE A PLATINUM TRAUMA TEAM PACKAGE FUCK YOU"that's literally what trauma team is there for
>>291840688Yaiba or QuadraWorst case scenario you gotta cover up shit like your car spying on you or it exploding if you hit the rear fast enoughBoth of those happened,gm is in court for selling data gained via satnav and infotainment and ford pintoOtherwise you just make sure cars stay in the budget
Did Weak's pistol really jam out of nowhere, or did Capri had something to do with that?
I swear to God this one anon has to be baiting or he is fucking retarded
>>291839669>>291840415She should've stayed with D the whole time. Lamest arc of the show is when she split her consciousness so her actual personality was with Talia (zero chemistry btw) while D's version was a lobotomized puppet. Awful, awful storytelling decision.
>>291840620>Like I genunely think that the friendship between Roman and D was one of the BEST friendships I've ever seen developed in a show.Bullshit, it was so hamfisted. It was ok for like 2 eps before D becomes a catatonic nonse, then it becomes a trainwreck more and more. I honestly wonder what the point of Roman is in this show at all.Oh wait I know. Forced SS bullshit. Yeah nice.
>>291840738Lexingtons are dogshitThey are like chink copies of tec 9sYou either get a lexington for full autoUnity for reliability Or literal jeet revolverThose are your option for cheap handgun
>>291840738It was his backup pistol. Krille broke his custom one. It jamming was just another failure of in his long list.
>>291840666>>291840689So what is it?Is that why?Explain.Explain like I haven't played the game too, because many viewers might not have played it.
>>291840758>I honestly wonder what the point of Roman is in this show at all.He's the self insert for the audience
>>291840738The Lexington is a dumb pistol, so Capri shouldn't have been able to do anything to it.
>>291840758Roman had more of a point than Talia.
>>291840712>All relevant corpo rats have trauma team coverage from their company. It's basically medical insurance.And so... they get triggered how?Alarm?Phone call?D was a clown because he should have deduced who the old bag was and should have immediately killed her in revenge.>they give her a decent endingMy god... why? She's scum. She doesn't deserve catharsis.
RIP this dude.
>>291840758>>291840789>Roman starts off the show explaining that film is important because it encourages the viewer to step beyond the screen into who they are watching >His films capture Talia's attention because seeing herself though his lens made her feel beautiful (she rewatched it dozens of times)
>>291840797Capri can just do standard wizard shit. There's like one lip service throwaway line that she only affects smart weapons then they immediately drop the act and just have her throw around limitless telekinesis and laser blasts.
>>291840811ContinueEmbarras yourself furtherI havent pointed at my monitor in disbelief just yetGo ahead,nobody thinks you are retarded,we are enjoying your trollGo ahead nigga
>>291840815Maybe he shouldn'ta dun did that?
>>291840789Yeah he's a very very boring character. David M was way way better.D was very simple and dumb too. So was Weak (the most disappointing) who I thought was going to be smarter than he was in the end. I thought he was going to restrain Talia more, but no he's not even her Dad and he's just an idiot, which was kinda satisfying seeing his heart get crushed like that.
>>291840822MagnetsHow do they work ?
>>291840758>>291840658it's actually amazing how someone can watch a show and not understand it at all and be this retarded
>people angry at S2 because it didn't have a friendship montage episode. oh grow up.
>>291840822They kinda explain it as her being able to manipulate Talia's magnetic emitters. She got so powerful that shes able to shake off peoples aims and make them miss. Arasaka lady no doubt has some high tier chrome on her as a high ranking counter intel bitch that Capri was able to overload it to the point it incinerated her. Also, artistic license. It was cooler that way.
>>291840811>And so... they get triggered how?Your cyberware monitors your vital signs and sends an automatic message to them if you're sufficiently hurt.
>>291840738I'm obsessed with her eyes. They're mesmerizing
>>291840834My new theory is that Weak and Avida never fucked. But then how would he ever believe Talia could possibly be his daughter, then? Well that question answers itself. He's such a loser virgin that he probably thinks babies come from storks. Talia being China Man's kid ironically places it in doubt whether Weak even fucked Avida, or anyone else in his life, at all. Think about it.
>>291840875Is she a cat?
>>291840620>I genunely think that the friendship between Roman and D was one of the BEST friendships I've ever seen developed in a showthe bar is actually so fucking low nowadays to think Sasuke2.0 without Itachi can even be classified as a friendship are you a fucking bot lmao. bringing up Sasuke even him and Naruto had a better friendship off the top of my head
>>291840878my new theory is that you're a fucking retard
>>291839603I hate this guys art style
why was roman filming her saggers
>>291839649No. I don't think I will.
Talia
So does Night city rely entirely on the goodwill of private corporate armies whenever a threat bigger than a small time gang or a single cyberpsycho show up? What would they do if some large force from the outside invaded the city?
>>291840897Ive peer revieved it and yes you are correct>>291840878 is a retard because by the time weak was born storks were extinct

>>291839633Hey where’s Roman? Regardless of the shotafags, no butthole chart is complete without all the main characters. Just because he’s 12 doesn’t mean he gets a pass.
>>291840805Well at least he has:>I want to film shitBut that's it.Talia at least has>I need to break out of this body and away from a psychopathic drone fatherI didn't like how she liked her mother, her mother was a fuckstick. God I fucking hated her. The show wants you to sympathise, but she doesn't even make sense from her point of view. It didn't feel believable that she would do what she did. She had too little sense, yet somehow enough to make her spectacular mistake.>random Jazz lady trophy girl for the dumb corpo exec>they just let her do whatever>Kiril didn't intervene the moment he knew she did something, just let her die and probably triggered a rogue engram to go postal with Kang Tao, all to keikaku for Arasaka (now THAT would have been an amazing twist at the end to make all the nonsense make some sense at least, you could suggest they were all pawns hypnotised into Arasaka's game of chess or something)This show might be up there with Franxx for Trigger dropping the ball, honestly. It felt like a modern anime with shit clusterfuck writing. Season 1 was simple, but it was effective. Season 2 was nothing but bizarre decisions I think.I mean don't get me wrong, repeating season 1 was never the right choice, but this feels like it's trying to be LOLDEEP and there was only 1 moment and scene where that felt deserved... for a side character. By far the best character in the show and I feel like they passed it on to a junior writer or something so it's way better.She's dumb, but believably dumb and sympathetic because of it. She's also lost. Kinda wish the story was about her kafka tragedy instead.
>super fucking hot>doesn't like being filmedwhat a waste
>>291840828So you don't know and I'm right.
>>291841025Ok how you know ?
you know what this show needed?more side-tragedies like yupi.Yes we had Avida's demise but I felt nothing for that hoe.

I swear D's hair is half Gon reference and half shitpost on the stereotypical Sasuke/edgy character haircut
>>291841081I'm a firm believer that gorilla arms are just a bitch to clean and she'd rather not deal with it
>>291841079>>291841094>>291841115Nomads are like tight knit neighberhoodThere are families and if parents die the larger group takes care of the kidsYou elect a leader or group to lead but it can be diffrent per nomad nationIirc nomad V's clan was led by an old lady but it fell apart when she died,nobody was adequate leader and they joined and dissolved into snake nation
>>291841161did you watch it with your eyes closed
>>291841136Nomads travel around the wastelands that is most of the US. The lack of resources means that they form pretty tight clans/families and engage in customs that don't make sense to city dwellers. They are also feared by people becasue they are like locust. They will scavenge and loot anything that isn't nailed down. This means that they find a lot of weird shit and more importantly, they can operate outside the cities in ways that corps can't. Places will just give the nomads food and supplies as a diplomatic way to tell them to gtfo.
>>291840815I liked that dude too.Man, the side characters were better than the fucking main cast.>the Maelstrom dudes>the lackeys for Weak>that one Kang Tao merc that told Roman to "move kid" even>that nurse having to struggle with a teen going postal and mad on chrome/engram juiceOmi seemed kinda stupid initially... kinda.That one shot with her staring at the cam smoking made me go "ok now her autism with D makes a bit more sense" because it felt like she knew D was never going to achieve his goals "for some reason" (we don't know why btw. We know nothing about her. Nothing about what she knows and I have so many fucking questions because she did sorta let D be an ass in the end).We know fuck all about most of the main cast 2bh. But that's probably because they weren't fleshed out at all that well. They're very streamlined. Omi is, distinctively lacking any background other than her nomad shit.Oh and the whole "cinema" with Roman only to have less action shots than season 1 and rather lazy CGI was a bit ironic. I don't mind Trigger """soul""", but that CGI looks like fucking ass.How many critiques of every series you do do I have to make of you Trigger? kekThere are reasons why you frustrate me and it's because every time I see potential and just parts just not clicking right. Season 1 was not that. Neither was Promare which was pretty solid too. I will say though, much much better than any Gainax fucking end, because that was the only part that was actually very good other than the start. The middle is a fucking mess. It just gets lost and I think it's obvious it's trying to fit it in the 10 eps. For some reason s1 felt perfect. This felt right off with pacing and shot work and plot and all sorts in the middle. I smell edits at the end cooking this season. I bet CDPR might have fucked them >can't have that noooo!Middle feels like a different show to the ends. Started so well too.
>>291841161This season is for fujos
anyone else have the urge to have a daughter after watching this show

How long do you think Talia was cool and fast for? Was she basically only like that for like a couple of weeks prior to the show after being bedridden for most of her life, chroming up, had fun jumping around for a couple of weeks, and then died?
Okay guys, writefag here. I'm SINCERELY considering writing an Omi X Roman post-canon fanfic, but I don't know where to start. I'm currently deliberating whether I want it to become smutty/sexy or for it to become a found-family kind of story.
How did their clan lose to Maelstrom? I thought Snake Nation were supposed to be a big deal.
Can't blame Talia. Roman is too cute and molestable for his own good. He's practically begging for it with that choker.

They should make the guy the groomer towards a younger girl in season 3 for a change.
>Lost her braidtragic. Thank god the hair vents are all natural or I would have been mad.
>>291840878>My new theory is that Weak and Avida never fucked.I wanted that twist too. It would have been perfect.>he never actually met her, it was all in his headI thought the start implied that.But he's still kinda off anyway.And the end feels like he's just completely mad.I can't tell if they really were implying that he was a chess move or not. I thought this part implied that.It's never clarified if he did know her. Just that he didn't have a kid. Which implies he was manipulated, but that could have been because Avida did know him well and merely used that past experience to manipulate him or because she was trying desperately to escape the claws of her husband. Those claws didn't seem as strong as you would think though. She seemed pretty free to do whatever in the corporation.>>291840913For the PLOT of his masterpiece.>loved this bit>IMAGINEI will say, this show is 99x better than most anime today (because my god it's unbearable now), but I still feel Trigger could have cooked better. I do tend to favour them for giving ex-gainax a chance after what happened with Gainax (now THAT would be an interesting "cyberpunk" anime jesus christ). It is remarkable this studio and Khara exists at all.
the next protagonist for Season 3 should be a transwoman
>>291841251Their clan was a part of snake nationAldecaldos we meet in game arent the whole clan,whole clan is tens of thousands strongPlus not everyone in a clan is a warrior,you need your chefs and doctors too,before there was enough of a force to try and fight the mercs there was atleast 5 dead

>>291839669Interesting concept in terms of origin/abilities but not fleshed out enough. Both season 1 & 2 would have been improved if they were two episodes longer.
>>291841304don't associate the major with your low-quality posts
It occurred to me earlier today that David and Roman are both media nerds who initially run side hustles selling their respective media (Roman selling his tapes and David selling bootleg BDs). David even gets into a bit of a discussion about it with the one BD maker guy.Imagine the two of them having an autistic spergout over films vs BDs.

Why do people still decide to have children in this world? They are as good as dead
I agree with other anons that s1 had harder needle drop moments but man s2's ost is puts me in such a chill vibe.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptZPKfP92YQThis is still the best track between both seasons desu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d_u63GHVPg
It's not talked enough about how tremendously depressing Talia calling Roman pretending it's her boyfriend is.
Can someone who knows the setting well explain what nomads are? Is most of the world outside cities Mad Max or something?

>>291839672Don't care really
>>291841401My KING
>>291841379Outside the cities you have either small towns that are on verge of being absorbed or abandoned or ghost townsNomads are big groups of traveling workers who are highly educated in all things engineering from cars to architectureWilderness took over abandoned places,lots of deserts due to corporate fuckeryYou have safer routes with some civilisation along the way till you go to cities and you have places where raffen shiv (evil cast out nomads) will give you full chainsaw massacre expierience for fun
>>291841371Roman is so cute.
>>291841115They are; most of them do freelance jobs for corporations or do smuggling. There is even one nomad nation that is a corporation with a floating island/carrier.
>>291841395While the thing about goat eyes is true, it doesn't really work with a human skull, because in order to truly increase the FoV, you'd need to push out your eyes in front of or to the side of your skull, which goats and most herd/herbivore mammals actually do have.

Kiril probably loves his daughter, but he loves the corpo more
>>291841379Most of America outside the cities at least.The US basically got hit with an end-of-the-USSR societal breakdown on steroids along with environmental collapse and mass plague.While America has by 2077 mostly stitched itself back together, it’s become way more authoritarian and corpo-dominated. Nomads are people who survive in the wasteland and refuse to assimilate into the new society, or people running away from it.

>>291840122It lacked focus and had way too much shit going on compared to S1. IMO it should have been two seasons, one starring Roman and D, and the other following Talia and King.
>>291841508>Yes they were made by humanity>He doesn't know
>>291841493I headcannon that the guy he was selling footage too has people keep an eye out on him cause no way a boy looking like that lasts as long as he has on his own in Night City.
>I'm baitYou certainly were Roman. Almost a Mcguffin even. Almost, not quite there because even Rosebud had more detailing than you. I still know absolutely nothing about why you exist or what made your family the way you are or whether you are merely a shell for bait for something (my initial theory).>>291840951If he did have legit feelings for her and blind trust, he might have been that dumb.That stupidity actually felt a little right. A little.I would have liked it being clear if he was completely disorientated by things at this point. We don't have necessary scenes like:>his cronies telling him to wake the fuck upSo there was nothing left to make it clear to the audience what his state of mind was. At time he feels completely lucid when infiltrating places so I just assumed he was completely lucid (enough) somehow. In reality, he probably wasn't and there was no cinematic method utilised to make that clear to the audience.Even D had regular "not-nge-instrumentality" scenes. I think Weak had some, but not many (and quite early on). So latter he doesn't feel as psychotic as he was earlier in the season. That was about the queue we had that he was losing his mind, but it felt like "he just got better" by the time he storms the facility with Avida. There's no other evidence of stupor or other headfuckery with him later that much. He just simply goes with the flow based on one dumb assumption (though his assumption felt like it was meant to be dumb, the others just were a bit far fetched even in that sense for me with other characters).
>>291839672Seems right.
>>291841502https://archiveofourown.org/works/95288091/chapters/254492351
>>291841513Especially not with the amount of cash BD guy was paying him for his footage, if any random ganger on the streets knew he had that kind of money, he'd have been dead meat a long time ago
I like how Capri considers Roman a baby.
>>291839672Season 2 isn't as liked because it has far less action and is more of a character-driven story than Season 1. It'll be like the Godfather Part 2 situation where critics eventually warm up to it and realize it's superior to its predecessor.
>>291841512Idk man,I would be scared of a malicious retarded grape ape more than some demonsYou just need to do escape from la and fry all electronics to off the ai but bonzi can run on a tire air sensor in a car
>>291841440we know talia
>>291841475I can make it a little worse.So America’s woes started in roughly the 90s, right?Ibetween the plagues, wars, and economic collapse, the US population fucking cratered. By 2020 it was down to like 150 Million, and by 2077 iirc it’s even further down to about 100 Million.Granted Idk how much of that population loss was death or simply emigration, we do know the birthrate has somehow kind of stabilized under a new paradigm of single parents raising unsupervised street rats.

I think S2 was on average better while S1 had higher highs (Maine episode, Latinx D going apeshit at the end)
>>291841390Well it was his fault in the first place for bumping so rudely into himGood ridance
normally i hate when kids are written like adults but for Roman its more believable considering night city forces you to grow up and he also has a job where he has to record a wide variety of people's experiencesbut there's still times when he acts like a kid, like when he gets confused by talia or when he complains about shit he has to do with D
>>291841556She makes me want to hate Corpos.
>>291841015that's actually a good filter, even nowadays
I didn't expect S2 to be better than S1, but it was. S3 when?
What was THE episode for S2
I really just want a full on unrepentant mass murderer as a main character They might be really fun outside of work, who knows?

Weak is a trainwreck of a clown by the end of the season.Talia ought to get away from him, but apparently she grew attached to this dude she barely had interaction with and was obsessed with her for no real reason (does she even know that he thought she was his daughter for a while there?)
>>291841579D pulling a Tetsuo in the rain with his horde, then getting shut down while MaxTac obliterates his followers

>>291841584Anyone can stop in a sidewalk and do whatever, Roman is not actively blocking the entire sidewalk.That cunt has no self awareness and bumped into him. Maybe that's why he didn't notice a car speeding into him too. He deserved to die
How did capri wake kyoko up like that
>>291841584Don't be a nigger, journalists get right of way
>>291841579I don't really think there was one. Some people were saying episode 8? But nothing compares to THE episode from S1 here.
>>291841583Smasher was/is supposedly an absolute party animal outside his gigs (even has an Elvis clone body specifically for that), but he still has his temper, so it's pretty likely that one moment you're jamming out and enjoying getting wasted at a private show, the other someone's head explodes and then an entire shootout starts, because a rando looked at him funny or bumped into him, or something like that
>>291841593
>>291841617He's not a journalist, he's the kid making youtube videos of random people against their consent.
>>291841601Silverhand crowd surfed a thousand Yupis when he raided that Arasaka facility Alt was kept in, got them all killed, and then screwed over Alt cause he was a gonk motherfucker
Should I actually play the game now?
>>291841599she was made of multiple constructsthats why there's more eyesdoes that make her an avatar of a hive mind?
>>291841115So basically a commune with guns?
>>291841635You can make max payne build with flying thru thru the air guns akimbo so yeahIts either now or not at all
>>291841513He sent him to get footage of maelstrom. No way was he looking out for him. The average person simply isn't a murderhobo, even in cyberpunk. Both King and D had gangs of guys beat the shit out of them. But neither of them got killed/scavenged. The streets of night city are anything but safe. But it's not so bad that a kid is going to get snatched the second they step outside.
>>291841629Hot>>291841631Independent press, bitch, best recognize
so starved for talia and roman that I'm gonna read a bunch of slop on AO3
>>291841637No they are productive
>>291841637more of a coop since they still believe in money
>>291841636>she was made of multiple constructs>thats why there's more eyesi understand the literal reason for the design choice, but things in stories are also often metaphorical and symbolic, and eyes are one of the most ancient and venerable symbols that exist - they carry a lot of meaning
I'm going to write Roman x Talia smut on AO3
>>291841218The protagonist of the next season should just be a 1:1 copy of Raiden's character. Would anyone even be mad?
>>291841635
There wasn't enough Talia before she became hospital bound :(
>>291841660Roman's two groomers now that Talia is out of town...
...
>>291839797i keked
>>291841661I need more cute moments like their drive in date, at least an episode...
Sex with Roman...
>>291841661Anon, she was already hospital bound (for years even) before that, her mother told Weak she literally escaped the hospital for the first time a few weeks ago and started hanging out with that Maelstrom group who chromed her out
I want to actually try out the new update but I have to wait for the download and setup all my QoL mods again after. Give it to me straight, is the new quest good?
>Check pixiv for Roman content>It's all gay shitShotagods keep winning
>>291841648>>291841654Y'all should fuck
>>291841678Jessie...
>>291840709>Someone would have to call right?Your implant automatically alerts Trauma once you become incapacitated.
>>291841678
>Alright Capri, I have one other request before you take over my body>After you kill my dad, I want you to find Roman and pop his Cherry. Ride that little film autist like a prize stallion. And try to act like me while you’re doing it. For his sake.
How did Talia end up so slim and lithe when her mom is a fucking fridge?
>>291841684only if the other anon is hot
>>291840709Literally 99.9% of implants in that universe are connected to a corpo's network and automatically tracked by them, at the very least for the purpose of tracking maintenance and payment/billing needs.If you have a good TT contract and literally ANY implant, TT has a 24/7/365 tracking GPS and system monitors on you
>>291841664well dont just stand there, say something!you're on televsion!
>>291841699she lost a ton of weight because her body was shutting down, remember the flashbacks where her muscles were atrophying?
>>291840452The internet never should have been expanded beyond North America, Europe, and Japan.
>>291841683
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6hOlik58gg
>>291841699She literally lost like 90% of her body to muscle atrophy at that point, and her cyberware replacements had to be ultra-lightweight for maximum acrobatic performance. She was also identifying with a useless insect at that time, so that's the kind of design she gravitated towards as well
>>291841037I don't know if we're meant to feel that way though on purpose though. I feel like it might be intentional. It's absurd if that is the case. These side characters actually stand out so much that it makes the main cast feel uncanny and like they don't fit in the Cyberpunk universe.The main cast feels like anime characters.Characters like Tupi, the bro helping Weak and the Tao soldiers felt way way more real.Granny was weird, she kinda fitted, but she's very very Gainex/Trigger anime foil character with a forced redemption that didn't feel like a redemption because she literally started everything and kinda ruins her character.Then again, Cyberpunk's main roles tend to feel like anime clown world in the anime too. The real gritty characters always are the ones on the side or the background. The ambience of the game really sells it the most. The main story is a bit... odd. Feels like a normal rpg game plot in the sense of writing quality because of meta issues with making it better. The ambient storytelling is sublime though. The details in the background. I got a sense of that in this anime too.This scene was kino. Wish the whole thing felt more like this. Instead of fucking Gurren Lagann and Panty and Stocking. kek. That playful look and tone did not fit the tone they were probably going for with the rest of the season. It needed to look like this and I would be fucking down for bleak noir like this more. This shot was like it was a completely different show and it was amazing.
>>291841694That sounds like she's okay with watching
>>291841693if boy, why drawn feminine?
How will Talia react when she finds out that Jessie has already taken Roman's virginity?
sex
>>291841693
>>291841773why
>>291841756I like that Roman is not a typical draw a girl, call it a boy, he's pretty boyish and still so sexy.
>>291841789?
>>291841736I like the original non-remix version more. The remix was only good in the trailer.
>>291841773Stinky nomad cock.
Not anime, but Yupi reminds me of this picture
>>291841133>I wish they had more time together, they were crazy cute togetherTalia was okish, needed more early action scenes, needed to do more stuff with Roman and D early on. Their worry about her just felt kinda forced. Roman was completely missed as an opportunity. There's literally I can say to elaborate because he's just there and that's it. I was expecting more coming of age bullshit with either of them Talia kinda has it, Romero has none of it and is just trying fruitlessly to stop older people from being older people without ever understanding them any more. He doesn't grow that much. He sorta stays the same. D, like Static X, is a manchild with autism.>WELL YOU PUSH ITHe gets some development, but it's kinda dumb and Omi makes him feel even stupider.He shouldn't be cool with Arasaka, nor should he feel the blame for shit. That part made me literally laugh out loud.>Arasaka profiling me, targeting me with a plot to kill me and replace my brain with an Engram, committing negligence by hiring murderous maelstrom goons was not the reason for everything - "I" was the reason for my chooms' deathsThis was a fucking disaster. What the fuck do you mean YOU were the cause for this? Buddy, they had you marked from the start and that's not your fault. That's theirs.>I SEE IT OOOOOO I NEED IT OOOOO
>>291841810i'll take it
>>291841741>It needed to look like this and I would be fucking down for bleak noir like this more.But that's NOT what (Pondsmith's) Cyberpunk is about, at all. It was always a more Rock 'n Roll version of Neuromancer. So this season is actually MORE fitting to the setting's premises/themes than the first one, even though that one still was portraying an aspect of the setting fairly well.
>>291841579I think episode 8 had the strongest direction. A lot of the webms in the thread are from 8 so I think others are on the same page
>>291840465Avida used to be a lot similar judging by Weak's memories. No idea why she went fridge mode.
>>291839724>Everyone needs HaircutsTell that to Smasher.
>>291840612Doesn't he literally say, "You'll alert Trauma"?
>>291839734World's best mom.
>>291841160Absolutely not, the way S1's characters were done was much much better treatment. You could infer things way better without them explicitly saying them.The power of CINEMA (cue not obvious shots of Roman with the camera). The irony. Sigh...I don't know what happened, but I was hooked with season 1 and not the way season 2 did. Season 2 hooked me for the wrong reasons. Like Cross Ange.
Is it weird that I hate all personality and everyone's will is an affront to mine? I could never see an anime character's personality within a real human - a real human is far too ugly and mercurial but not in the jovial way that anime comes off with for asshole types. There's always some kind of saving grace if only for their design. Humans are a big sack of shit, filled with disgusting organs and fat deposits hidden by a super thin layer of skin. If anyone acted like Rebecca out in the real world I would want to punch them in the face.
>>291841173No, it's Static X.Hence the electricity and shit and super edgelord stupidity "I'm gonna kill you all" without actually thinking about how to do it.
>>291841218I'd love a Film Noir David
>>291841218A Fixer whose crew does a job, then gets iced, leaving him the only loose end
>>291839734best VA
>>291841848Smasher has Elvis impersonation bodies on his off time.
>>291839953We already saw her crotch, she's a barbie doll down thereWhole torso is chrome
Old Avida
>>291841941would look better if she looked like Nubia or Storm
>>291840108Fucked up.
>>291841221They really were, but only because they were side characters and had limited opportunity.The others had way more times and opportunity and you feel like you know way way less than you should with that amount of time.With Yupi it's kinda short, sweet, perfect.You kinda don't need to know much more. She says more with her actions and her ability to gather people around because of her privileged (yet doomed) life. It's a bit like Kiwi from S1, though she got a bit more time I think. S1 had more main characters and yet felt like you knew them better than S2s. I think S1 felt long enough though. S2 doesn't long enough at all. It needs like 5 more eps to make the relationships with the main characters feel more fleshed and earned.S1 got that somehow without doing that, but it felt waaaaaay more pulpy and less serious drama at times at least initially. S2 goes noir and it just kinda feels shit noir at times. It needs more space in it to let that noir sorta drip over you. >heh drip drip dripS2 might have felt better if it was released 1 ep a week to let you think about things more and go over it. S1 is just action action action and great for it's format.
>>291841160S2 has better, less stereotypical characters. The only character of note in S1 aside from David and Lucy was Maine.
>>291840108Imagine not picking the fluffy tomboy.
>>291841832Too true Anon. Kingsley is a total washout but he saved his soul.
>>291841773>>291841804
>The heroine of the story is a half black/half Chinese disabled girlWoke trash.
>>291841224The blatant Akira reference was cringe for me too.I thought they were going to avoid that cliche to challenge expectations, instead it's just full>ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER with Talia near the end.D x Capri feels like a DBZ or Dandadan character (which works with DBZ and DDD, not CP77... well it kinda does but this one felt/looked stupid somehow).
>>291841218Rockerboy DAVID Bowie who in a perfect world would've been johnny silverhand in the game
>>291842007The aryan shota cancels it out.
>>291841251Get out of my head.I totally thought she looked like pokemon trainer too. AAAAAAAAA
>>291841682haven’t gotten to it yet but it’s worth it just for trying out a dual wield pistol build, it’s stupid fun
>>291842007Capri isn't any of those things.
>>291841983Well I can't agree with you. None of the S1 chars felt relatable to me, except maybe Rebecca. Same with the side characters in S2.
>>291841294This is me
David's mom in S1 also called him "Dee". That's a nice of way of hinting at D's true name if you remember that detail.
>>291842024There are at least 3 anons (I know because I'm one of them, and I'm not you, or that anon) who go on about her being a pokemon trainer.... which she is.
>>291841815Sweet, fifty bucks!
>>291842007>black woman gets shot stealing shit>asian chooses to be with waifu>white man and boy are moral core of group>race mixing lead to a disabled, confused, self hating child>japs and chinks still hating each otherYou just need a better perspective
>>291842007Omi is Alolan actually
>>291841371For drug money.To sell their bodies for drugs. Roman doesn't feel remotely realistic and people had complaints that David M was a bit clean for a Cyberpunk childhood.Honestly, his lifestyle is more ideal than the lifestyle of most children in my neighbourhood nowadays IRL. Cyberpunk shouldn't feel like a utopia.
>>291842052Okay what about best girl Kyoko
>>291842068The utopia is the trap and the lie
>>291841447Kiril might be the worst character in the show.What a complete fucking clown. Talia should have killed him sooner.I thought he was doing some 5D chess, but no he's just a fucking clown. There's so little fucking leverage on him and he acts this stupid.>an executive of a major night city corporationWell that kinda makes sense, CEOs are fucking retarded IRL and think AI is a super intelligence (which is a hive organism, not what they think it is).
>>291842068>that David M was a bit clean for a Cyberpunk childhood.His mother was abusing her decently paying job as an EMT to "work" scav jobs on the side, and pouring almost all the money she made into David to get him a better life than she had and has, yet he was squandering almost every ounce of it, and once shit actually hit the fan in his life and his mom dies, he immediately picks the worst possible opportunities to ruin his own life... I'd say that about tracks for the setting
>>291842068I mean it's either pretty crime or sweatshop labor, and it's kinda hard for those kind of characters to have the education or ideals to have aspirations beyond 'i want to leave this shithole'
Funny how people call Roman useless when D got nearly all of his ideas on how to progress on his revenge from him.
>>291841477Gridman fucking sucked wtf dude. It was worse than Franxx. Franxx at least tried to make something interesting. S2 also tried to make something interesting, but the wrong way when compared to how much action was in S1 and how earned the drama felt.
>>291842007sorry
>>291842110He was literally only there to just actually be Talia's dad.
>>291841480Capri was such a waste. I don't think her development felt realistic at all. She needed more screentime maybe.She feels like something out of Soul Eater.
>>291842077>jap>kamikaze at the end>modern woman>too abrasive to attract a man and too caught up girl bossing>she has to use mother feelings on the Construct to be sane
>>291842110He's a true corpo dog just like Kyoko said
This is the Kiznaiver of Cyberpunk
10:15 ON A SATURDAY NIGHT
>>291842068Children in your neighborhood sell videos of gun fights to shady porn editors who send them into the territory of psychotic gangs that try to dismember them? He almost got smashed by a car in the first 10 minutes of the show. And then he spends weeks following around and filming a terrorist. Cyberpunk does have the problem that some aspects of its dystopia have actually started to happen while none of the cool things have. So slices taken out of context can seem better than real life. But the aggregate is still worse than all but the worst shit holes irl.
>>291841583You mean on a rampage rollercoaster to hell like early S1 Lucy or late S1 David?I was half expecting:>Talia>then D>then CapriTo all do this and none of them came close to satisfying it like Lucy and David. Capri half did it near the end. D failed at it. And Talia is a cripple most of S2, so infuriating they baited her like that with promos to just do this.Then they try to say:>it's because of reveeeeeeeengeOnly to ruin that because Yupi actually half does it well on accident with way more cartharsis and no happy ending.
>>291842161There was nothing sane about Kyoko.
>>291841599My head canon was she was manipulating everything from the shadows.But then she started staring at the satelites, which made me think she knows something and never elaborates.The "mystery entity" manipulates even her and everything in the season.
Kyoko wifeYupi sex
>>291841617>they don't get the ropePlease go back.The lugenpresse deserve death after covid.
>>291842110>didn't abandon his disabled daughter to have another child>was willing to listen to his wife's advice>encouraged his daughter during her rehabilitation.>didn't use the high-pressure discipline typical of other Asian parents>bought his daughter a bunch of cool cyberware>allowed his daughter to stay overnight at friends' place without a curfew>always carried photos of his daughter with himKiril is considered a very good corpo father in Night CityHe spent money like water to save his daughter, and he wasn't using her as a guinea pig; he just wanted to cure her terminal illnessHe was very busy with work but still made time to play with his wife and childrenHe killed Avida to protect Talia, otherwise Kang Tao would have wiped out his entire familyIn the end, Kiril only chose to merge her daughter with Capri because she couldn't be saved
>>291842209Nah, like a corpo or max tac elite goon but having an actual life besides murdering and scheming
>>291841674They needed way way more.
>>291841683>>291841678
>>291841726Explain it, I'm listening.Or ya just gonna say this and never explain it like the other replies?
>>291842241didn't realize at time but you are onto somethingif Talia was Soul Killed into that bodyKang Tao would use her more than they use Kiriland god knows how much they'd experiment on herto receive new flesh, only to be strapped back on the tableshe'd really want to die thenIf he could even believe the construct was her
>>291842261
>>291841832>But that's NOT what (Pondsmith's) Cyberpunk is aboutThis ain't Pondsmith's, this is CP77.Pondsmith's is so whimsy it's boring. Stuck in the 80s more than the game's setting.You can't really do this without it being a mere comedic Hitchhiker's/Red Dwarf thing at this stage.It's gotta be a little more Bladerunner if you want the drama to feel more earned. But most of all it's punk, not rock. Though in a post techno world it's that too. Early 80s rockerboys ain't what followed and it did have to change otherwise it would be kinda lame. It can keep camp, but only in way Fallout sorta does with the 50s-esque setting. Like Fallout, it did need to appreciate change IRL tastes and ideas a little bit more to make the rhetoric and whatnot sound far less retarded. Fallout gets away with more though, being far more of a time piece universe. I just needed more Mad Max (and Cyberpunk should have done that too from the start).But I do agree that it sounds like it might be just turning into Neuromancer. Haven't seen too much of that though.
>>291842241corpo hands typed thisdo not trust
>>291841850Why does that matter? Who will call them? It has to be Arasaka right?What I'm worried about is how does he know it will trigger the "alarm".What is the alarm here?Is there a person watching them?Is there an alarm built into them?In the game you have to call them to pick somebody up. But why does he assume that's happened already?That makes no sense.
>>291842045>she literally has the CP77 equivalent of pokemon go running at all times
>>291842353Literally the first mission of the game Trauma Team gets an alert from that girl in the ice once she's not being jammedAnd once you're on a certain level of importance in a corp, they make sure you have somethingcan't tell if you're retarded or ragebaiting
>>291842143Worse, they seemed to hint at him being this corporate villain who somehow has a warped idea of what's best for Talia or something.It just doesn't work. It's so shit. He just comes off like... a real CEO intelligence wise. CP77's execs are not that. They're normally sophisticated technocrats bordering on Yakuza/Triads.
>>291842329>This ain't Pondsmith's, this is CP77.Indeed, which is part of why it got such a backlash, along with Cyberpunk RED. The people who like or liked the OG 2020 and it's updates prior to 2010's and post-vidya, naturally don't like it.I'm not saying one is objectively better than the other, just that what Trigger clearly prefers is closer to the OG material than the current "modern audience" version.
>>291842245Probably unrealistic.Yakuza/Triads/Corpos have "codes" to prevent this. If they go postal, they usually end up dead fast. It's just business. They don't have actual lives, it's hell.
>>291842322What did they mean by this?
>>291842386Don't bother arguing with or explaining shit to tertiaries who can't even be bothered to google a single question, they're more likely to call your explanation an ass-pull or bullshit, despite everything being clearly laid out and widely known for anyone who ever even glances into the setting's basics
>>291842386I got the impression that it was a call from V or Hunter Thompson's mexican friend, not a jammer signal.That being said, the show should have made that clear in that scene maybe. Even then, he is fucking 12. I don't know if he would understand these things this well. This isn't call 911.
>>291842419He's a cinephile, so probably quoting a romance movie one way or another. Though given that he lives in the shithole that is Night City, he may have seen and heard his share of "relationships" even at an early age like his, since it's literally everywhere on the streets too
>>291842393>It's so shit. He just comes off like... a real CEO intelligence wiseburn of incredible magnitude.
>>291842443the quest explicitly has you pull a shard out of the girl that is jamming the signal that would have alerted trauma team you fucking gonk
>>291842419Has Roman ever seen huge futa cyberware?
>>291842443>That being said, the show should have made that clear in that scene maybe. The show assumes you've seen Season 1 where it's been explained, same as it also assumes you've most likely played the video game, where it's also explained, since it's literally made as marketing/side piece to the game.>Even then, he is fucking 12. I don't know if he would understand these things this well. Given he's been going around the city filming criminals and gangs, as well as attending an actual school. Yeah, it's a given he'd know Trauma Team and how they work, which you can literally see on a daily basis there.>This isn't call 911.It literally is (an automated) 911 call.
>>291842431Then why wouldn't Trauma be alerted the moment he "sneezes"? He's somewhat embedded Arasaka personnel?Why would this be an issue when he says so and not much much earlier?It should be mentioned at the start what their expectation is at least. You'd think they would think about it before storming. I just don't understand where this alarm starts and it just seemed kinda jarring that Roman would know PRECISELY the moment when he wouldn't have a fucking clue. Especially because there are classes of coverage with Trauma and they don't know his coverage. >and you call me a tertiary
>>291842478just talia's
>>291842469Which brings up another issues entirely right?>why did they know specifically that moment it would trigger?If it's not jammed, the moment they zapped him would have triggered them. That's why I was so confused. It felt like suddenly they knew the precise moment and it didn't make any sense given previous conduct.
>>291842478How do you think he afforded that antique camera and the film/tapes/hard drive capacity?Through blackmail of course.That was such a wasted opportunity for his character.
>>291842499>Then why wouldn't Trauma be alerted the moment he "sneezes"? He's somewhat embedded Arasaka personnel?It's programmed for specific "system states" of the user's implants. At the very least when you experience persistent heart arrhythmia, or something like that. Definitely when your implants' monitoring signals drop off for too long of a time. Shit like that, it can be tuned individually in the package deal.>Why would this be an issue when he says so and not much much earlier?It should be mentioned at the start what their expectation is at least. You'd think they would think about it before storming. D is explicitly a moron, dumber than the 12 year old kid, who's a fucking KID. Neither of them is thinking very clearly.>I just don't understand where this alarm starts and it just seemed kinda jarring that Roman would know PRECISELY the moment when he wouldn't have a fucking clue. Especially because there are classes of coverage with Trauma and they don't know his coverage. The alert starting when someone knocks you out, or your implants IS a good standard baseline to worry about. The specifics aren't important. It is sufficient to know that you're dealing with a corpo dude involved in top secret projects in an Arasaka lab, there's 99% chance he will have at least a basic TT plan, if not Arasaka monitoring him as well.And yes I will still call you a tertiary, because you ask questions and are puzzled by shit a tertiary would be.
>>291842557>At the very least when you experience persistent heart arrhythmia, or something like that.This would be stupid. People often live with this genetically. In fact, I probably do given relatives and their genes. kek>having to know all of that shit to understand this sceneAgain, this is just bad writing or direction. It didn't even need this. You could have had Arasaka doing an alarm of something and it would have been less confusing than the technical procedure of an in game mechanic of a video game that the show assumes you have watched.Or even better just say:>Oh no, I think he might be fucked up to the point where it might trigger his Trauma jammerWhich is perfectly fine too. Why not mention the jammer? Would fix all of the confusion.It's not about being educated on the game. It's about getting the logic to the viewer assuming a common denominator.Someone might pick this up and legit have no idea what's going on.
>>291842506Talia only has oral tentacle implants for these things.
>>291842640I'm in awe at suction power of this lass.
>>291842609>>having to know all of that shit to understand this sceneAre you speed reading as well as speed watching?I already told you this is a SEQUEL to an anime series THAT ALREADY EXPLAINED THIS previously.It's the viewer's fault for watching SEASON FUCKING *TWO* of a series, and complaining they are missing information which was provided in the first one.So not just a tertiary, but a retard as well.
Have had the ED song on a loop since finishing the show.
>>291842668You don't even need to watch the first season to understand how trauma teams work. That anon is just retarded.
>>291840612He’s not a retard like David.
>>291841371Looking at it closely, that guy totally kicked Roman on purpose.
>>291842740Now that might be more acceptable of an explanation.He is fucking retarded.>duuuuuuuuuuude
>>291842668>It's the viewer's fault for watching SEASON FUCKING *TWO* of a seriesOk then.They also need to install all dlc and play every game up until now to understand this series too. Right.Anon, people don't have time to watch stupid tik toks let alone an anime season nowadays.Reality is much much worse than cyberpunk's world nowadays. Hence the far right reaction lately.
>>291842907Roman even calls him dumb and an idiot since the first episodes, right up until the end. D is canonically quite stupid, as evident by his actions, especially in his first encounters with Roman, despite being a netrunner (not that you need actual intelligence to be a software engineer nowadays either, etc.), so I thought this fact is very obvious in the show?
>>291842937>Anon, people don't have time to watch stupid tik toks let alone an anime season nowadays.>Reality is much much worse than cyberpunk's world nowadays.
