Shotabros won bigly
>>292037141>boys' bare skin touching
>>292037172
>>292037141>Itshouldhavebeenme.gif
>>292037177Indeed
>>292037141They look tuff
>>292037295because they are
Riddle me this, how much of her can possibly be organic? Not her limbs, clearly, and is the skin on her front and back original? Did they cut away the skin from her sides to replace with the grey armor frame and leave real skin at the front and back? That would make a long flesh/metal seam that would need constant cleaning to prevent infection. It makes more sense if her torso is completely artificial with partial synthetic skin, same as the skin on the arms. Also for her head to have that giant empty mouth port they would have to replace most if not all of her skull with metal so the mouth socket could be properly anchored.In that case, what makes Smasher unique in the setting? Is it that Talia still has her internal organs while he's just a brain in a box?
>>292037324Same deal with David here. His "skin" is cracked open and there's no blood, just empty space with a metal socket for the eye. He coughs up blood so clearly there are some organs left in there but besides that what's the difference from Smasher? Same for Weak, his torso has a ton of seams suggesting it's artificial with synthskin layered over it, and his thick mechanical neck only makes sense if it's anchored to an equally mechanical body. If his head and torso are flesh any impact he absorbs (like from all the car crashes he got into) will have gruesome consequences.I don't see how full borgs are any more special in this setting than in GitS. It wrecks the power scaling and leaves you wondering why everyone doesn't go cyberpsycho if Smasher is supposed to be a once in a generation freak.
>>292037408Their cyberware is a lot more integrated and the most important, still looks human.You lose humanity when you start adding insect arms, bladed legs, anything that is more than human.
>>292037435Most of that stuff barely mattered when he had a bomb waiting to go off that replaced his spine.
>>292037324Talia is noted to have an exceptional tolerance for cyberware to be able to handle all of that. And she still has organic internal organs. And she still almost goes cyberpsycho. Most people couldn't handle all the chrome she has just like how the ripperdoc assumed David wouldn't be able to handle the military grade sandevistan that he uses to check the mail.But Adam Smasher isn't unique in not going cyberpsycho. He is a cyberpsycho. But he was already so insane and inhuman beforehand that it hardly makes a difference. And his job is slaughtering people for a megacorp that allows him to be above consequence for collateral damage. Rampages like Maine's and King's are what he is paid to do.
If this was a weekly release these threads would still be active.never forget what netflix took from you.
>>292037642People have to work on Monday.
>>292037642Netflix isn't the reason that even on 4chan nobody wants to talk to you
D(og)
I'm almost done the talia mask I'm making for a cosplay girl.Well, not really, since I still have to print out the final version and sand and paint them, but I'm done all the 3d parts and did some cool heat forming on a mesh panel to make it breathable and it's held on by magnets.Thank you for reading my blog.
What did they mean by this?
>>292037757The trash covering Roman's eyes was a metaphor for season 2.
Do you think roman is circumcised or uncircumcised?
>>292037779I don't think that would stick around for very long once cloned and synthetic tissue made it non-permanent. Especially in a place like Night City with a lot of Japanese influence. Roman is definitely intact.
>>292037276I wish it was me on top instead of Talia.
What do you think was up with D and Omi? I might have read too much into it but I thought they kind of had a bittersweet, never quite made it to lovers, relationship. Maybe I just read too much into it because they were opposite sex.
>>292037908im literally miguel but with out the muscle babe and no hair anymore
>>292037931anon no one on this board reads chinese
>>292037864Wait, you mean it's less dystopian than now?
>>292037908>No kit>No combat ware>Blames King when the only other armed guy diesMiguel was a bitch. If he wanted to protect the punisher he should have brought his own piece.
Edgerunner girls are just too good
>>292037485>guy so insane that he looked sane in his insanity is one of my favorite tropeI wish I had a good enough device to play cp2077.
>>292037931And a chin chong nip nong to you, sir.
>>292037141and that's a good thing
>>292038429Talia in this scene looks something more than she's actually is. Like she's actually Maelstorm or something.
>>292038491She's naked.
>>292038429I wish they emphasized the weirdness of her legs more. Whenever she had her jumpsuit on they just animated her like she only have one knee per leg. Shouldn't her gait look totally different? I guess the bagginess covered it, but it was probably just the animators being too lazy to figure out how it would really look
>>292038535>armor covering everywhere except the pilotthis really was a retarded design
>>292038587To be fair, it was meant for Adam Smasher, who's all chrome already. He IS the core of the system.
I miss Roman already
>>292038634No point in not armoring the core more still.
>>292038587It has electromagnetic shields that stop bullets, so it doesn't really matter. Adam smasher only beat him because he physically beat the shit out of him with his bare hands.
>>292037408speaking of weak's neck, what's it for?
>>292037642Choom, the threads are slow because /a/ is slow because 4chan is dying. Or have you not heard people bring it up constantly for two years? Or seen the 4stats graphs? Only a matter of time before Hiroyuki sells the site off or shuts it down.And by the way, the first Edgerunners had multiple active threads per day for a straight month.
>>292038811I'm not your choom, gonk.
>>292037908>Buff glasses girl>Dies 5 minutes inWhy does Trigger hate me so much?
>>292037779>slavic nameuncircumcised no doubt
>>292037926I got the vibes of trouble making siblings
>>292038930Don't worry, you have Avida if your thing is hulking she-men.
>>292038803I want to taste Omi's love.
This isn't about the anime itself, but holy fucking shit Coronation is a headshot death laser. Who the fuck allowed this gun to exist?
>>292037946Online translation was shit but the gist I got from it was that either his request for time off was denied or he was sending an email rejecting an employee's request for time off.
jesus christ what time do you people get up, have you even slept yet?
>>292037908>Miguel lost his buff thick thighed gfI'd be pissed at King too if that happened.
>>292038887>this was too psychologically disturbing for a Japanese audience to be animated
>>292039278>Our systems confirm you are Chinese>Chinese don't celebrate Halloween>Get back to work
>>292039278Kek
Interesting to to see this vlog from Trigger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IInN7q3p4vo
>>292037324A large part of cyberpsychois is your mind not being able to cope with your limbs being yours. Like you know your arm isnt supposed to split in half and turn into a mantis blade.Talia being sick and never really having a functioning body doesnt know what a normal body is supposed to be like. She can do crazy shit and her mind just accepts it as normal.A normal guy would freak out when he realizes hes a brain in a jar controlling a body that isnt his. That his body is gone. David is ok when he looks like himself even if hes mostly chrome but its over >>292038535When hes a torso theres no going back. Talias sickness means she never had that function ing body. She was always a brain unable to control her limbs. There other factors in play but the more extra features you have the less your mind can cope
>>292039627Talia had an actual case of body dysmorphia and not the gay tranny kind. She was always aware that her body was failing her, and looked to cybernetics to fill in the gaps to even be able to live something close to a normal life. Before she went to Maelstrom, the short flashback showed she had an interest in gymnastics, but requires having a body that isn't slowly destroying itself so naturally it was something she was never going to be able to do without chrome. After a while, she just started equating the metal to be her body more than the meat, so her panic attack isn't about her losing her connection to her body, but the fear of going back to being an invalid in a hospital bed, waiting for the end to come.
>>292039570its mostly highlighting how unglamorous working at trigger is
>>292037141hopefully s3 will have corpo v be groomed by a milf corpo
>>292039683I felt like talias cyberpsychois was less about too much chrome and more about her organics failing. Though adding more didnt help.she was borderline. Then capri chip pushed her way over
I hope s3 is about a complete corpo pos who spends like 4-5 eps making good freinds then sells them all out gets the majority killed and just goes with it. No bs feeling guilty or anything redeemable. Just a complete unrepentant asshole.And every watcher still likes her cause hot evil woman does no wrong.
>>292039710>>292039756It should have a fullborg farmer who denounces his body's combat capabilities but uses them in the climax to help out
Wait i got it. 3 valentinos a girl, her brother, and her boyfreind. The brother and boyfriend are best chooms.You see them coming up in the gang growing up etc. then the brother fucks up a hit cause he falls in love with the target. Who was a witness or stole something important. All the other Valentino s have brother marked as a kill on sight traitor. Boyfreind is trying to cover for him. Sacrifices himself so the brother can get away. Bro wants to meet up with the sister before he and his girl leave night city. Sister kills both of them steals the chip uses this to go up in standing in the gang while secretly pocketing the loot.
>>292038525I just assumed they fold into a human config for normal walking.
>>292038535>>292038587There was an interview where Trigger talked about how the design came about, and they concluded it was a jobber-looking design on purpose:https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/269290988/#q269291780
>>292039769"Whad to you mean I'm the strongest mercenary? I'm just a farmer!" kind of stuff? That would be actually funny.
I liked edgerunner 2 well enough but I don't understand how it seems to have managed to grab everyone's attention for so long after it aired. It's a very simple story will not much to discuss beyond "I want to bone X, Y and Z"
Seeing the military stuff at end was really cool.I wonder what's the strongest weapons militech can throw at people
>>292039278Fake. This nigga would not spend half an hour with his family.
>>292040180Yeah, he got out of edgerunning a long time ago and decided to take it easy. We'll call him Easy Pete.
>>292040282He comes out of retirement to save his grandson re pete offender whos about to get killed in a car chase by maxtac
>>292040329>re pete offender
>>292036239Wow, I wrote those summary posts, and surprisingly didn't save them. Now I have!Source was this Imaishi ilvedraw stream recording:https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1786013841
>>292038535D is as tall as super cyborg david lol
>>292041021>get so much surgery that you give up your dick and balls >still end up a manletRough
>>292038587It was a trap for David, and he fell right into it.
>>292039627It has to do with Humanity and Empathy, both of which David had in spades due to Gloria being an amazing mom.
>>292037141Just finished S2 and I have noone to talk to about the show so I figured I'd drop my 2cents here. I think the animation and the ambiance was 10/10, however I do think this season was markedly less good than the last one. There are certain plot points that don't really make much sense to me (D doing his terrorism campaign against Arasaka with 0 consequences for like 3 episodes for example). I also think that the characters didn't really have enough time for me to become attached to them beyond Romanchad and King. I really think the show would have benefitted from a few extra episodes to develop the characters more? Overall solid 8/10 was enjoyable
>>292041259Also the whole deal with greenhaired fangirl and her traphouse they were set up in. I get that Kira/Caro/Whatever the fuck the construct was named was blocking all interference but I was really expecting shit to hit the fan once they started inviting anybody with a pulse to the base. Seemed like an obvious setup/chekovs gun with no payoff. Also they should have added a sexo scene or implied it between D and fangirl imo
>>292040915Nice to see another Anon from back then.
>>292041293Capri.
the most realistic part was D stopping caring about women after discovering AI chatbots
>>292041318Thanks bro
>>292041212Also meeting his found family barely a week after his mom died too. That helped immensely, even tho it wasnt the nicest introduction, with processing the grief. Of course that slowly started to backfire as they all started dying.
>>292041456It also backfired because Maine was a retard. If he backed off the chrome when he started getting the shakes it would have set a good example for David.
>>292041690My heroes and jobber
>>292041639>ywn pick up RomanWe live in hell.
>>292038535Deibido and Talia are nuggets buddies!
>>292038587It was a prototype meant to be stolen. They just wanted to test whether it worked with a pilot, not make it an unstoppable killing machine with not weak points.
>>292041639>double DNo fair!
>>292038587That version yes, it was designed to be used then tossed away once they got data. It was originally also for Smasher who had a heavily armored torso already.Im curious about Capri. We know she was made of a bunch of engrams that were soulkilled and engrams can remember their past before getting converted. We also know Capri felt nostalgic when seeing that soda machine, so how much of her previous lives does she remember or would any memories that spark individuality from the engrams have been wiped?
>>292041639She loves princess carrying her boyfriend.
>>292037771*season 1
>>292042065If she survives and comes back would she try to persuade Roman to get a smaller cyberbody so it would be the way it was before? Or would she be ok with him having grown?
>>292041690I like how they look like brothers.Martinez is the youngest, D is middle and V is the oldest.
>>292042450If he get bigger, then that means it’s his time to return the favor by carrying her around.
>>292042450I think Roman would grow up to be very cute.
Lucy on the moon!
what's with Gainax/Trigger obsession with older woman?
>>292042805Isn't Talia like 16 or 18?
>>29204300716 at most
>>292043007and Roman is 12. But since Talia spent most of her life in the hospital shes emotionally like 13 and Roman is emotionally 18 because he grew up on the streets.
>>292040226You're just describing Edgerunners 1
>>292041259>>292041293Another shitty take from someone who watched it while glued to their phone
youtu.be/H0gax5gjFIk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8vjJ43bCVYWatson is about Weak and Avida
>>292043177>>292043281Well, that certainly explains why she went to him when Talia went awol.
>>292043281Why is she so wide?
>>292043509some people are just wide. Look at King.
>>292039722Her psychosis was about Capri taking over her body, i.e. completely losing control of herself. Her chroming out was a teenage rebellion act against her hopeless life situation, but then once Capri started trying to take control of her chromed out body, she instantly realized that chroming out will never save her from her fate and that she was just coping, hence her mentally shutting down crying in a fetal position.People need to understand that the "cyber" part of cyberpsychosis is almost completely irrelevant to the "psychosis" part in 99.9% of cases. It's literally just ANY case of ANY mental breakdown of a person, why the "cyber" part matters, is the fact that heavily chromed out people tend to have very dangerous capabilities, so once they lose control and freak out, it tends to cause a lot of collateral damage.Otherwise, almost every single person (in-universe) at some point in their life goes cyberpsycho for at least a moment, for one reason or another, but the vast majority of them will not have any or enough 'ware that would allow them to perform a XBD level gore-fest in the span of a few minutes. That's literally it.
what do you think their favorite fast food restaurant would be>Roman>D>Talia>Weak
>>292042805The quote seemed off from how Talia's character ended up, so I hunted it down just to check the context:https://bsky.app/profile/evanminto.com/post/3mptxghfnhk24>Ikarashi: For Talia I went with a very feline-like design. Her braided hair is like a cat's tail.>Waka: It's one of our most popular characters on social media. A lot of fan art.>Otsuka: When I asked the director to come up with a design idea he liked most I said "this is what the director likes?" But when I saw her move I said I was wrong in my first impression.>Ikarashi: In the late 90s and early 2000s female leads who are violent and frequently hit the main character were popular so that's what I went for.>Waka: I assume that's the director's kink.There's also this from another convention later that month:https://bsky.app/profile/evanminto.com/post/3mrxsm4fyzk27>Waka: Kai Ikarashi likes very strong girls which may be why he's projecting that onto the character of Talia.>Kanno: She has an edgy personality. Wanted to reflect that in the design. Sharp hair, sharp clothes, sharp shoes.
>>292043509She ate a whole fridge. Like not what's inside it, but the actual fridge itself.
>>29204300716 or 17.
>>292043281I'M IN TREMENDOUS PAINI'M IN TREMENDOUS PAINHELP ME HELP ME HELP ME
>>292044001She just really likes Roblox
>>292043281It’s about Weak and Avida, but also Roman and Talia.
>>292043665
>>292043665Women molesting little boys is kinda goofy innitWhat would they get out of it?
>>292044239pre-order husband
>>292044083Both, honestly. But it does give us more background on King and Avida. Clearly love at first sight.
>>292044239Boys are really cute.
Large vents ensure optimal air flow and prevent overheating
>>292044265>new medical-grade faceplate with a mouth>faceplate outline still visiblethat feature feels so incredibly important for her whole design.
>>292044325w-what's she doing?
>>292044311After he apparently killed her other boyfriend, or someone who was a fan.
>>292044355Venting heat, obviously. Those implants build up a lot of heat when actively being used.
>>292044355She’s incredibly aroused and heating up so much that she needs to get rid of the excess steam through her hair vents.
>>292044392I thought that was just part of a scene transition. Like someone at the venue was announcing Avida since it moved to there like immediately.
>>292044520It was clearly the guy that got shot saying Avida’s name. It’s why he had flowers too.
>>292044743
>>292044615Yeah he was, but could be something different. Could be involved in a plot to steal money from Militech, and when they come knocking on the door its time to fucking leave.
>>292043281>>292044311>>292044392Neat, but kind of hard for me to figure out the plot, particularly toward the end.
>>292044763
>>292044763Why is Zoro there?
>>292044782>>292044788He got lost.
>Check sadpanda>Still no roman x talia doujins

>>292044833Gonna have to wait til Comiket, choom.
>>292044930yeah, she can even see Johnny too.
>>292044806>Smasher not dressed up ElvisMissed opportunity. Still nice though.
What the fuck was the point of Roman's camera autism?How the fuck is AI too powerful and hard to contain but a bunch of human souls is somehow better?
>>292044944When's that?Next week?
>>292044968>How the fuck is AI too powerful and hard to contain but a bunch of human souls is somehow better?What do you mean, AI's are contained, they cant breach the blackwall. Then theres all the new AIs with good shackles created on the corpo networks. Also Capri required to be installed in a human to really function on the level of an old net AI.
>>292044835Where was the cup cup posted before again?
i wish Rebecca's manga had more content so they would at least consider an adaptation

>>292042587yeah.. V is the oldest... at 23...
>>292045736That's a rough 23
>>292045758in all three life paths, there are no comfy pasts for Veither being on NC streets, having to worry about bad nomads, or being a saka college/corpo in general.
>>292045576Petite Queensley
>>292045576>>292045588>>292045626She's a known coalburner lads, don't do it.
>>292045710This should’ve been an extra episode. As it stands in the series itself, there’s no reason to care about Avida since we know nothing about their relationship at all. This could’ve actually made her death hit harder, along with her ashes flying away and Weak leaving his jacket behind.
>>292045838imagine this anime was released weekly, and we'd be around eps 4-5 by now
>>292045838>there’s no reason to care about Avida since we know nothing about their relationship at all.What the fuck more do you need to know more other than she's her ex and Talia's mother? All you retards are asking is more bloated because you're too used to shounen slop spending episodes on episodes about nothing.
>>292045736Martinez is 17 and D is 20. See? It works out.
>>292045838>This could’ve actually made her death hit harder, along with her ashes flying away and Weak leaving his jacket behind.People infer what that meant without the MV
>>292045576Holy booba.
>>292045926>why should the show give you reasons to care about the character
>>292045979The show gives you more than enough reasons to care unless you're autistic
>>292045979>why should I care about a mother who desperately trying to save her child?>why should I care that David's mother died in the first episode? We never got her backstory or her connection tobDavid>why should I care that Maine died? He was a nobody with barely any backstory
>>292045989I mean i did care but not nearly as much as when say Maine died
>>292045926Show definitely needed more interaction between Talia and Weak. The only real casual "pseudo father-daughter" bonding moment they had was at that diner, and it didn't land right. That banter with Talia is supposed to show Weak has a more playful, lighthearted side to him but it just felt forced into the 40 seconds or so in between PLOT. Have a whole half episode in which they bond the same way of Maine and David and the story would surely benefit
>>292045979A common misconception among zoomie's is that having more episodes focused on you will make your audience care. You can literally show up in one episode and then die and people will remember you.
>>292045926>1 extra episode>bloatingThe problem with Edgerunners is that it feels like so much of the story got scrapped or shaved down to fit with an arbitrary 10 episode limit. None of the characters really have any down time to develop their relationships with each other, and some characters just barely interact at all. Avida is especially undercooked in that regard, since we don’t know anything about her other than the bare minimum, but they want you to be sad when she dies. All I’m saying is that one extra episode could’ve helped in that regard.
>>292046097Nobody gives a shit about Kaworu outside of gay porn. You’re not helping your case.
>>292046097I dont get why he is so popular desu and I agree with you
>>292040249Probably one of their combat suits
>>292045838I dont think it needed to be an episode. It certainly is a nice piece of supplemental story but it not having existed didnt negatively impact the show.
>>292046097People only care about him because he's hot and displayed an unusual amount of affection toward the protagonist. Literally yumejoshi baiting. But you're right in that a character doesn't need to be deep or fleshed out in order to be likeable. Only an appealing design and the bare outlines of a personality are necessary. See Omi, for example.
The true heroine
>see y/a/!
>>292041628We should have gotten a scene of drunk D getting all handsy while teasing Roman when a sex scene appears in one the films they're watching
>>292046244An anon pointed out that D and Talia serve the exact same role>older, dangerous and doomed heroine who shakes the normal world of the MCAnd now all I can think is that they should've fused the two characters into one
>>292041729>jobberyeah, david fucked up
>>292046220Idk even Omi is more fleshed out than Avida. We just didnt really get to see much about Avida when she's not in her worried mother mode.
>>292046142>Nobody gives a shit about Kaworu outside of gay pornHe's very popular outside gayshit anon
>>292046220Yumedanshi maybe.
>>292045829>t. smelliest jeet from mumbai
>>292046299D is straight.
>>292046301>they should've fused the two characters into oneSame, fuck it just go full promare on S2.
>>292046301>fused the two characters into one>sexy almost full cyborg onee-san on the verge of cyberpsychosis who also has great hacking deck loadout who also has corpo avida mom but went to nomad land during rebel years and got the clan killed and also has big tiddy tomboy clan yuri friend and then suddenly goes to maelstrom because nothing is worth it anymore and then meets shota MC, and also meets Capri who alleviates her of all pain and trauma upon first connectionActually yeah why the fuck not
>>292044788It was made by a jeet.
>>292041628Roman straight as shit I would have gone crazy over nomad bussy.
>>292046326It’s because he’s popular with the fujo fanbase.
>>292046341Are you that same mouthbreather that speedwatched the show and kept getting Capri's name wrong?
>>292046404Don't stick your dick into revenge crazy anon
>>292043177I thought Watson was the Talia x Roman songDid they pussy out because of the age gap?
>>292046379This but as D. Otherwise you're reheating Lucy's nachos...Actually it's still reheating Lucy nachos with D.
>>292046338why even bother commenting when you're this ignorant?
>>292042805absolutely based taste
>>292046476I mean they split Lucy into 2 characters with some David sprinkled, if you fuse them back it goes back to it's original source.
>>292046379>>292046476Too much in one character. I'd either make avida part of the nomad clan or cut out the nomad part entirely, and just have it be a dying person who wants to get vengeance before she dies, at all costs.
>>292046532>cut out the nomad part entirelywhoa whoa whoa
>>292046554She can still be a childhood choom who was close to the family
>>292046471It being the Roman x Talia song I think was just a fan theory since it was the ending credits song. Animation there followed Roman and the last person he walked past was Talia. Roman also lives in Watson.>Did they pussy out because of the age gap?Probably, but they also wanted to show why Avida was so important to King. Why in episode 2 he specifically brought one flower, why he abandoned his coat in episode 10 when Avida's ash canister shattered and it focused on the symbol. Stuff like that.Though its not hard to imagine its about both pairings.
So why did Talia abandon a kid to get bisected by chromeheads? What a fucking bitch
>>292046043Funny you say that. I thought Maine's chrome autism was completely stupid and I didn't care much at all
>>292046500A boy coming on to another boy is not yumejoshi bait. They hate that. You can't just throw around the word "protagonist" as if the sex of that protagonist is not extremely important in shipping. Including self shipping.
>>292046366D came to me as revengesexual like all the shit he went trough messed him up hard otherwise imagine turning down tomboy pussy, even at the end all he did to Capri was hug her it feelt like an adult comforting a kid then again Edgerunner S2 is grooming central.
>>292046554Would armpit fucking still work with gorilla arms, or would she just crush your dick?
>>292046084>Weak teasing Talia more often I need it.
>>292046220>Kaworu>yumejoshi baitnigga what?>Only an appealing design and the bare outlines of a personality are necessary. See Omi, for example.Oh you're retarded coomer, nevermind
>>292046471It’s both.
So uhm did D die at the end?
>>292046366He’s entirely asexual because he has no dick.
>>292046084that's the issue with them deciding to make it fucking 10 episodes instead of 12
>>292046726Alt Cunningham (Silverhand's gf) route, he died and ascended as a higher being.
>>292045838The series could have benefited from having 1 or 2 episodes more, but more Avida and King content was not necessary.You shouldn't care about Avida that much because she's a secondary character, you should care about King and how her death affects him. If you need an elaborate story to care about every single character you see in fictional media for you to care then you might just be severely autistic.
>>292046604in her defense he said he was interested in themyou'd have to be insane to willingly go to see maelstrom as a 12 year old unless you wanted to join, so she just assumed that was what he was doing
>>292043177>>292043281My FUARKING KINGAlso Prime Avida was a total snack holy fuck>>292045838An extra episode? Hell no but possibly intertwined the end when Weak finally abandons his jacket
>>292046366lmaonext you'll tell me Sasuke is straight
>>292046726We don't know for sure, left ambiguous intentionally.
>>292046674What if the implant looked like metal but felt like skin, night city tech and all that.
>>292044325>cmd prompt pops in and out on mouth screen, hair vents randomly starts spinning at max speedbe careful using your gf to torrent chromedgirl repacks
>>292046700Are you denying that Omi is not a very fleshed out character but managed to win popularity on account of being a ride-or-die CF tomboy with a good design?
>>292046602Is King even tied to Watson in some way?
>>292046823
>>292046084The capril splitting subplot ruined what couldve been such interesting interactions between all the charactera in that diner
>>292046726wikipedia says he's dead and that's final, hopetrannies can cry about it and drink their cope serum in between gulping down HRT
>>292046889>Once again I lose it all
>>292046892Most relatable character in the show
>>292046726He zapped up before the missiles hit.
>>292046889Nothing explicit, but the animation they used showed King and Avida met in Watson if im seeing some of those locations correctly.
>>292046892they gave him such a shitty prosthetic arm is that the best you get on low income in night city?
>>292046876Yes, being likeable is different than being liked by coomerbrains
>>292041917sure, but why put armor over the rest of it instead of leaving it as a bare frame?also on a related note, the two glowing green vials are the most obvious video game boss weak spot of all time
>>292046942No, you can get a better arm cheaper, second hand. but he is at his absolute limit for cyberware, only natural replacements or medical grade implants will keep him at or under the limit. Also an artistic choice to show how far hes fallen since his cyberpsychosis incident
>>292046942He's choosing to it due to cyberpsychosis too.
>>292046914I meant the location Watson, not the song>>292046936Ehhh kinda silly to tie him to Watson just in the MV. I thought that King was an edgerunner primarily based in Watson or something
>>292046963This is not a "coomerbrain" take
>>292046942I don't even think it's a full prosthetic arm, he's wearing the equivalent of those hook arms that they give to amputees
>>292046942Hospitals need to make a profit, so they use the lowest grade shit imaginable if they have to down grade you to save your life if you can’t pay for anything better. Now if Weak got some Eddies together, he could get some better limbs that wouldn’t count as heavy Cyberware, and wouldn’t cause him to go psycho again.
>>292047045>Punished Weak>A King Without His Crown
ONCE AGAIN I LOSE IT ALL
>>292047049Yeah also this, they gave him a shitty replacement because he still needed to pay his hospital bills>>292047084WOHOOOOO
what if the real shotapsychos were the friends we made along the way
>>292047002Maybe he started out there? but even his foreclosed apartment/house looked like it was in The Glen.
I won't lie, my favorite shot in the whole series is Weak sticking some iron in his mouth closing his eyes and about to pull the trigger.
>>292047171Yeah if King had TT Platinum I doubt he lived in Watson
>>292043177>>292043281So did Weak kill Avida's corpo bf then swoop in to ask her out himself?
>>292047290Yeah
>>292043150How about explaining why I'm wrong fuckhead take Triggers cock out of your mouth, wipe the cum off your chin and use your big boy words.
>>292046674>Would armpit fucking still work with gorilla armsIt can
>>292047290>>292047321Dunno if it was her bf, maybe he was just a fan
>>292047290Why would she accept? King is covered in blood and gives her the flower the other guy was gonna. Seems suspicious. I think she was a contact in a money laundering operation but King intercepted it and brought the money to his fixer instead. When Militech shows up Avida gets the hell out of dodge because her role didnt go as planned and doesnt wanna get offed by Militech.
>>292047459>she was a contactI doubt that it was that complicated, it's more likely that King simply hid his criminal activities to her: didn't tell her where the money bag was from and then went to give it back to the original fixer (?) who then came back gunning for King since he was the guy who killed the original contact for him.
>>292046850That exists, RealSkinn. Not an implant itself but something that covers implants and is indistinguishable from natural skin. Also heated via the implants to a normal temperature.
>>292046726It's left for interpretation, but it's most likely. Even if he connected the satellite and transferred his consciousness, it would be a copy of him, not the original. The D we know died when the missiles hit.
>>292047550that does seem more probable, but convoluted shit does exists in NC. Maybe the blood got overlooked because he started bleeding from the nose and passed out?
>>292047620Yeah I gave that to a more artistic choice as in Avida "healed" King's "wounds"
>>292046726Cyber Dynazenon, Anon. He's chilling in the Blackwall with Capri
>>292046726The ending leaves some room for interpretation that Capri and D digitized to the Satellite, D would still be dead though, it'd only be a copy.
>>292045736>Panam is 33so cyberpunk is just young men being groomed by older women?
>>292047617>it would be a copy of him, not the originalisn't that just soulkiller?
>>292047638Thats probably it. I do like the decision to go with King/Avida for that. Gives more impact to the decisions he makes during the show. Except bringing her on the Kang Tao lab raid. I get they needed to for plot but the smart decision would be to leave her at home for plausible deniability.
>>292047822Avida was what saved King from killing himself but she was his biggest hurdle through his arc as in he didn't want to let her go again. That scene of King abandoning his jacket at the end was pretty much his signal to finally let his past life go including Avida whose ashes were gone in the wind moments before that.
Avida looks like she was designed with the HR and the DEI consultant peeking over the shoulder at the computer screen. Corporate Memphis looking ass.
>>292047822King did try to stop her, but she went for the "parent doing something stupid for their child" schtick and he couldn't bring himself to leave her. That was explained well enough, I only rolled my eyes a little despite knowing what was going to happen next.
They’re going to ruin Roman.
why is she built like a man?
>>292048007Maybe her personality was VERY good
>>292047916Yeah but that was once they were all in the van at the site. Avida should have stayed back in NC.
>>292047992Roman was already ruined, he imagined the whole thing, these are characters he made up for his amateurish movie, he's going psycho in a few years.
>AO3 still downNo doujins but I want to eat some delicious wordfucking sandwiches. Why is there such a fucking drought of smut for this?
>>292047992Kid was born in and grew up in NC. Kid has seen some shit. Alive for David's attack on Arasaka. Lived through the NUSA president crashing in Dogtown, another attack on arasaka tower, and then this most recent thing with Capri and Talia. his path in life is set.
>>292048067But he’s still a good person who got a happy ending.
>>292047901are ya winnin son
>>292048033>Why is there such a fucking drought of smut for this?Just look up Edgerunners on any hentai aggregator, youll probably find a lot but i bet its 90% AI generated trash.>I want to eat some delicious wordfucking sandwichesbe the oc you want to read in the world
>>292048095NTA, but there’s a difference between creating and consuming.
>>292047992Dromalia
>>292048095>be the oc you want to read in the worldAs that anon said, consuming is a different pursuit. But even then AO3 is fucking down.
>>292047821Yes, basically. It's the exact same concept. The soul/original dies and the copy lives on.
>>292038535realistically he lost almost all his real body right? he was never going to come back and live a normal life after this anymore even if he survived?
>>292046942i thought it was the shitter and more basic the chrome the less strain on the mind. a wooden pegleg instead of a foot doesnt make you go cybepsycho.meanwhile king so fried he cant even keep 10 fingers in check
>>292046726>>292048208d should have lived, he got the most op power we've ever seen on cyberpunk verse all to die such a shitty death
>>292043281>Watson is about Weak and Avidasome roman x talia crackshipper said it was for them though lmao
What jobs do people even do in cyberpunk verse? AI and technology is so advanced I don't even see how people would still have jobs by then
>>292046995I would think that having a junk arm with three fingers would make you more prone to going cyberpsycho because it's alienating, it leads you to think "my hands aren't supposed to look like this." Humanity-preserving cyberware should most importantly look human and have human-level strength and abilities.>>292046850Tons of implants are covered with synthetic skin, like the skin on Talia's arms and legs. I wonder why Omi doesn't bother with it, she'd look much better if her arms and legs looked natural. Maybe it's a cost thing, Talia can spend top dollar on cyberware while Omi has to be utilitiarian.
Shooting my goo all over Roman
>>292048754>Humanity-preserving cyberware should most importantly look human and have human-level strength and abilities.It does, but medical grade implants are expensive.
>>292037324Honeslty she is basically a can at this point. I guess some people are into that.
>>292048675Work for a corp as security/laborer/office working/execJoin a gangfreelance workCrimeKeep in mind that pretty much any job that you didnt start yourself leads back to a mega corp, so that joe schmoe working the counter at buck a slice ultimately works for biotechnica or something.>AI and technology is so advanced I don't even see how people would still have jobs by thenExtreme limits on what an AI is allowed to do on its own. These are AI that exist within corp controlled networks too, not the wild ones from beyond the blackwall.
>>292048530Yeah, but he died as happy as he could be and on his own terms. It's his happy ending.
>>292038778If hes about to get headshotted he can retract into his tacti foreskin armor,he cant have a lot of hair tho,it can get stuck and cause cyber phimosis
Becky sisters... we're forgotten, nobody remembers her...
>>292049205good i found her annoyingglad that smasher brapped her
>>292037779Maybe with the cybernetics it cant get reattached and its Whatever Talia is in the mood for sort of like a haircut.
>>292047144>there somthing called the 50 500 rule meaning we have to have at least 50 kidsOmi with her nomad education probably
if i was Roman i would have gotten D pregnant
if i was D i would have gotten Roman pregnant
>>292047144No way fag
>>292049631>>292049631completely snubbed
>>292048634It’s both.
>>292047144that face is from her smelling how stinky she is
>>292049205We must move on. It’s what she would’ve wanted.
>>292045838Hell even just releasing this MV as promotional material before the anime released would have done wonders for making me more invested in the story. Kind of wish I had put it off longer so I could see this first.
Is it just me or is Kyoko the first actual Lolibaba that fits the lolibaba template.Every single one thus far is just a loli that says she's old. No squeaky raspy voice, no lolibaba temperament. No full kyoko flavor.Like, can you guys even name at least one lolibaba that deserves the archetype name?
>>292050134For me it hits even harder after seeing the seasonLike if I saw it beforehand, I wouldn't have cared that much considering that I didn't even know that Avida was going to play an important role in Weak's story, really makes me love S2 a lot more
>>292050134kinda surprised they tied this one into the plot this much. the AMV for the s1 ending was like some other guys OC doing a job and we only briefly see some characters from the s1 crew in like 2 scenes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnnbP7pCIvQ
>>292050158At first I was unsure what gender she was supposed to be since all I could hear when she was speaking was picrel
>>292050273Well S2 is way more characters heavy than S1
Talia Carax
>>292050331She mutters this under her breath every time she goes to sleep
>>292050331many are saying this
>>292050331Yes
>>292050273I mean what are you gonna do for season 1? Have Rebecca jerking some guy off while her brother wiggles the coins he paid between his chrome fingers?
>>292050331yep!
>>292045685what the fuck
Will they do backstory MVs for other characters like Yupi and Omi or is that not happening?
>>292050463Is it wise to choomp your chooms?
>>292050794They might get a comic or manga like Reb and Pilar did. But if the pattern holds thats it for animated stuff. s1 and s2 had:The 10 episode seriesthe recap amv with the series themesongthe ending theme amv
Official H-doujins soon
>>292050273Sasha was the team’s netrunner before Lucy and Kiwi, and was like a little sister to Maine. Her death caused him to chrome a lot faster than he should have out of fear that someone else on his team would die next, eventually resulting in his death.
>>292050276And she’s actually voiced by Tommy Pickles and Buttercup.
>>292050273that's Ilya-sama's design you are talking about choom
>>292050985
>>292050985Now I wonder if Avida was the one who gave King his nickname.
>>292051037Seems like he already had his crew back then, his nickname just comes from his second name "Kingsley"
>>292051086Presumably this was before Talia was born as well, would be hard to convince King that Talia was his if she was already alive. That means Meshuga, and maybe Emliy, were running with king for at least as old as Talia is, probably more.
Talia, jessie, Omi, and roman on a hot spring trip
>>292051212Talia is going to be fighting for her life here
>>292051086You sure it's the same crew? The MV would be taking place at least a decade and a half before the events of the anime, way before Miguel and Emily's time.
>>292051311Am I blind or was Emily already there?
there was literally no connections between d / talia and king and d / the kangtao corp and guythere was also no nomad background when we know what streetkids do but still don't nomadssomeone didn't do their job at making a competent story
>>292043281So that random corpo guard was gonna give Avida a flower, but King killed him and gave her the flower instead while still covered in the man's blood? Am I the only one who thinks this is hilariously unhinged?
I can fix hershe was leaving flowers at her dad's grave when she first saw D and Roman
>>292051443Ryuko mogs her as far as girls avenging their fathers go.
>>292051424King is a professional, he probably thought he was doing a good deed by giving the rose back to the original owner and then him and Avida both fell in love with each other, this is a pretty classic romantic drama trope
>>292043281So avida is scared and leaves king because he's a dangerous man that works as a cyberpunk in the end? That doesn't make sense, she knew from the start since he was literally blooded when he got her that rose and he also had a fucktons of cash she should have known already?
>>292051424I wonder what the deal with that guy was, did Avida not know King murdered him until his buddies came back for revenge at the end of the MV?
funny as fuck how confident talia was in showing off her off the street 12 year old boyfriend
>>292051513I think she left mainly because King didn't tell her the truth about the bag of money
>>292051548It's actually really depressing when you think about it.
>>292051548She misinterpreted "boyfriend" to mean "friend who is a boy (child)"
>>292051566>I think she left mainly because King didn't tell her the truth about the bag of moneyI mean it's night city in cyberpunk universe, what did she expect that bag to be? Could have been way worse of a reason
>>292043281FAWK
>>292051590>Could have been way worse of a reasonRight, could have been Weak told her the cash was totally legitimate and he was assaulted on his way to her bar hence why he was all bloodied upThe point is that their lifestyles were incompatible
>>292051637how come she's white here
>>292051548I would love to read King's inner thoughts in that scene.>D walks in with his Sasuke hair and cool burn scar>"Hmm... okay, not bad. I was expecting some yuppie">"Wait, why's he sitting next to me?"
>>292048634>roman x talia>crackship
>>292049205genuine shota >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fake loli
>>292048634retard
>>292051327well in the fisrt one we see someone that could be Emily and someone who is probably Meshuga. Then later at Afterlife we definitely see Mehuga and someone who COULD be Emily.I can see Meshuga teaming up with King for more than 10 years, he stands by and defends him even after the cyberpsycho attack.
>>292049535>>292049546So theoretically can anyone just get a "uterus" implant and get pregnant in 2077?
>>292051639>The point is that their lifestyles were incompatiblewhy didn't he find another job? or live off of her, she seemed richartists are always rich in cyberpunk
>>292051327>>292051705dumbass forgot the image.
Time for Tomboy Titties
>>292051715>why didn't he find another job?Because he wanted to have his crew and Avida, she was sheltered from his life and he didn't want to likely involve her in his things
>>292051705>>292051723Aye it's my theory as well.
>>292051723that's like a thousand percent emily why would you say it could be
>>292037141You guys are still talking about this? You're supposed to LIVE!
>>292051731healthy skinship
>>292051796But anon, Weak's LIVE short came out today
>>292051662>>292051703>>292049938cope crackshipper

>>292048634>crackshipper
>>292037276wish that was me fuckkkkkkkkk
Why you just assume the song is about Weak and Avida just because the video is about them? S1 ending song had video about Sasha, doesn't mean the song was about her.
i really wanna see the roman doujins, i’m not sure how patient i can be. desu tbqhwy
>>292051548>>292051656>spends 20 seconds sizing him up until he realized that Talia had no idea who he was and that the little boy sitting next to her had to introduce him to herMakes me wonder what his reaction would be if D actually was her BF
I heard there was an Omi spin-off happening. You guys think it'll be a single episode OVA or a full multi episode series?I just hope nothing bad happens to her.
>>292052215Probably a manga prequel like Rebecca has.
>>292052215Hopefully an ingame quest DLC. But they would need to make a really good character model for her, it can't just be a generic NPC or character creator thing.
>>292052208Commission DMXwoops
>tfw no Talia gf
>>292052240Since Omi isn't dead there's no limit to the fun we can have
>>292052285Be patient, Roman.
>>292043052So Roman is pedo?
>tfw no Yupi gf
>>292051424Typical Tuesday in Night City
>>292052215follow up featuring her daily life as she hangs out with roman, talia and king getting a hair cut at roman's place
>>292051478Of course he is. He is inspired by Leon the Professional after all.
>>292051723That’s definitely them.
This season of cyberpunk would have been 500% better and made more sense if Capri was hot instead of a blob of clip art shapes
but Capri is hot...
>>292052258his twitter says his commissions are closed, but his bluesky has a bunch of commissions he like just finished. ig i'm following him, ty for advertising ur special interest, autist.
>>292052515Kids these days are too good to fap to Clippy?
>>292052515that would definitely have sold D's unhealthy obsession
>>292052515>if
>>292052643D’s obsession is less sexual in nature and more that she makes him feel like a kid having fun again.
>>292052258>Commission a western twitter tranny hungslop artistunironically kill yourself
sex with omi
Why are nomad girls so hot? First we get Panam as best girl in the game, now we got Omi as best girl in the anime. Man FUCK Night City at this point, I’d rather go off roading with the tomboys and rednecks in the badlands.
Living the good life.
>>292052734>PanamPlease do not insult Omi by mentioning these two in the same sentence
>>292052734>Why are nomad girls so hot?Better diets and regular exercise for having to survive out in the badlands.
>>292052734They are down to earth violent women which is a mans true desire.
Gorilla women won this season.
>>292052734stop posting the photoshopped pic. Here's the real one.
>>292052734panam ok but omi looks like a random hobo lmao
Not enough despair in Edgerunner 2.Am I an asshole for wanting more despair? I was looking forward to cry a bit but instead I got a happy face.
>>292053178there were plenty of moments when things looked grim, but the bittersweet ending was the right call. doing 2 misery endings in a row would have been a poor call.
>>292053261>I KNOW WE JUST MET BUT I'M MAD AT YOU FOR NOT COMING TO MY SURGERY THAT I'M JUST NOW TELLING YOU ABOUTwhat the fuck was her problem?
>>292053345Women am I right
>>292053345Roman should've HIT Talia.
>>292053345>"He doesn't care about me either. just like everyone else."That would be my guess
im fine with the bittersweet ending. not everything needs to be a big tragedy.it just needed more time to settle. more buildup for the relationships and a bigger fallout
>>292053178there's avida dying but nobody gives a fuck about herand then yupi dying 1 ep after her intro, nobody cares about her and she was introduced giga late but some coomers were still devastated i guess
>>292053414I cared
>>292053345Dumb girl lol
>>292053414Yupi could have used a touch more screentime but her motivations were very clear
>>292039696That's every anime studio. Hell, it probably felt more alive than other studios that just outsource everything to freelancers.
>>292052775socks, uooohh
Talia, Omi, and Jessie all doing dogeza before Roman.
>>292053660Capri dogeza'ing before Roman and forcing D to take out the chip and put it in him
>>292053692Why would Capri do that?
>>292037998Nigga, she's a Solo type.Her entire body is "combat ware"
>>292052675Smiling Punks
>>292054138I'm talking about miguel retard, he wasn't adequately equipped and spent most of the job standing around hoping anybody else would do anything about their problems.
>>292053660Other way around. And he should be naked too.
>>292054175Based on the DLC for 2077, Miguel has a habit of being dead weight so you'd think he would be a bit more humble.But I guess his gf dying sent him over the edge
>>292054199This anyone who disagrees is an arasaka agent
>>292051443there was nothing wrong with her you corpo bootlicker, she just needed someone to save her life
>>292054248>someone to save her lifeyeah, ME.
>>292037998no way she isnt sporting subdermal armor and gorilla arms. Not every version looks like Omi's.
>>292054248johnny silverhand would hate this girl up until she died, then feel bad
>>292054248She didn't bail on D when KT showed and everyone else scattered. She's a real one for that.Got about a dozen holes blown through her for it to boot.
>>292054248She is a corpo too
>>292054312child of a corpo =/= corpo
>>292054312Nah shes a trust fund baby, she doesn't directly work for a corp. Her dad did and then when he wasn't convenient to have around anymore they got rid of him.
>>292054199And they should record him too.
>>292054199What is he apologizing for?
>>292054699theres 3 of them, they could just overpower and force him
So you're telling me, people in the future replace their healthy limbs with robo prosthetics just because they wanna look cool and hip?
>>292054769Almost all of them are superior to 'ganic limbs with almost no drawbacks.>but cyberpsychosis!not everyone chips like King or Maine. And when they DO see signs they scale back.
>>292054797cyber psychosis only makes sense if you replace shit that fucks with your brain like grafting a V8 engine into your spine
>>292054769People do that with plastic surgery todayalso its not just about looking cool, its about being able to do things that ganic body parts can't like punch doors off their hinges or scale buildings in a few bounds
>>292037324>In that case, what makes Smasher unique in the setting? Lizzy Wizzy also has a full body conversion but she's a cyberpsycho.What makes Smasher different and special is that his psychosis does not interfere with his normal behaviour at all. And his chrome is higher specced than any other full body conversion could handle.
>>292054864if it's the future, what stops them from getting a wearable robotic gauntlet that can do the same shit or even better and that doesn't need you to rip off your own arms like a retard?
>>292054832Technically any implant can, they dont need to be that wild. Even implants with no combat application, like one of those full body replacement ones that turn your skill silver or gold for example, can fuck you more than just like gorilla arms.
>>292054375A corpo child is raised with corpo ethics. A rat that’s been raised by rats cannot help its nature. Maybe if when you take them young and put them among good mice they might do well. But ones that grow up that way are probably shitbags that deserve the bullet. Like Tanaka’s son. Even well intentioned corporat kids like Yorinobu Arasaka at the end of the day are elitist shitbags at their heart.
>>292054970hoped to see more of this guy in this season too bad we don't
>>292054970>>292055028ENTER omi's new love interest
>>292054970Not all corpos are created equal
>>292055055i could've saved herbe the dad who stepped up and gave that kid a new little sibling
>>292055028If S3 has a corpo main character it'd be cool if we saw him again, maybe as some stressed out middle manager trying desperately to climb the corporate ladder without his daddy's connects to help him out
>>292054769Looking cool is a large part of it but I'm fairly certain most people only get chromed just to keep up with the insane world. It's kinda like unoptimized modern games, who cares about making something lean and clean when you can pass the cost onto the customer by making them buy better hardware?Imagine that but with literally everything. Get cyber gastro system that can handle sawdust and plastic scopslop. Auto-cleaning lungs that can purge the pollutants on a set schedule. Get chrome arms so you can keep up with all the other workers who have already upgraded. Go ahead and complain when they don't hire you for not having cyberware arms, it's against company policy and they don't give a shit about what you want.Get chromed or starve, gonk.
I'm going to cum inside Roman.
>>292055055David deserved to die.
>>292054970sure, if raised by a cutthroat ladder climbing exec. They would foster that behavior at home too.Tho Tupi's father didnt actually work directly for Arasaka, just ran a PR Firm that did work for a lot of big corpo clients, Arasaka execs being some of them.Once he cleaned it they killed him to keep him from talking.
>>292053517What is there to even show more about her?She was using D just to get revenge on Arasaka, she was a psycho bitch and died like one
>>292053345typical angsty teenage girl?
>>292055135>t.alia

>>292055461>Not having a King and Avida OPChoom
>>292055485At least it's not some coomer Omifag pic
>>292037753I'd love to see the result, mr handyman
>>292046097Yeah, but Avida doesn't play an interesting role in the story. The soulkiller subplot was filler.
>>292047336Yo who's the artist
>>292055398Would impregnate
