    if you liked the story in this show I really think you should give the game a chance. The game was buggy at launch but it was blow out of proportion and really no more buggy than something like a Bethesda rpg or Ubisoft game but the difference is that CDPR actually took the time to fix it. Not claiming the game is perfect but I would say it is definitely worth a try.

As far as bugs go, at least on PC, it was way blown out of proportion. You still find people spreading false information saying it was/is unplayable. My experience was smooth and I realize that my experience alone doesn't represent everyone else's experience, but the same can be said for those that did experience bugs - many people had a near flawless if not flawless experience. Yes it under-delivered on what was promised and that's unfortunate, but for someone that didn't follow any hype and went in blind, it was still a fantastic game.

      Almost everything Trigger pumps out is solid gold.

    I think shortness of the anime is just perfect representation of cyberpunk life. System and society fucks you up in every possible aspect, but instead crawling into the dumpster to accept your misery and die quietly you show the world your middle fingers, crew up with other trash like yourself, start dealing illegall stuff, chipinn' in, all in goal to get dissent life and world to notice you. But in the end you burnout or bite more than you could chew ending your blazing way of cyberpunk in the dumpster as a pile of rotten meat and broken chrome. Fast and flashy.

      The anime was packed to the brim, It really could've done with more episodes to flesh out the relationships between characters. It was hard to really care for most of the side cast, Becca, Becca's bro (see i don't even remember his name), Maine, and Lucy too. there was barely anything to really get to know them. I felt like Lucy's backstory was pity bait, with not a lot to it. David was the only one that was remotely flashed out and that's only because we've been following him the whole show through.
      If you look at trigger's other works, like kill la kill or (especially)guren lagann, and even BNA. They have all done this much better, and i think that edge runners severely lacks in this regard solely because of the 10 episode limit.

      It PACKED. every location you recognize one way or the other, every implant, corporation wars, weapons, concepts, HUDs, hacks, etc.

    The game is what sets up the plot and lore. You don't have to of played the game to understand the anime, but a lot of the aspects of lore and machinery and cyber psychosis and concepts are things explored and used in the game where you are given a formal introduction. I think it was expected to an extent that people excited for the show would have played the game and I don't think they could've banked on it being as big as it was, I even thought it wouldn't be all that great at first as it was a video game anime. I do recommend the game because I personally enjoyed the game despite the bugs, but they've put out patches and DLC since then addressing many problems. And the show, I liked the somewhat lack of a plot. It goes to what you said about the anime being and feeling more real and impactful, real life just flows and doesn't always have a solid plot. I really enjoyed the show and game, CD Project Red and Trigger have come together to create a really interesting and cool world. If they can do it good, I'd love to see more stories in the anime in different seasons covering different people and different walks of life in NC.
    Edit: and a good thing to note is this story is canon in the universe and game. You can find characters apartments and other locations specific to the show in game. Adam Smasher and some of the mentioned characters and fixers are in game too.

    As someone who knows the intricacies of the game's world and lore, it's really nice to see someone who knows nothing about it appreciating all the details that are included in the show. Like the phone calls and the character designs etc. Also, as someone not particularly invested in anime, it was nice to see an analysis from someone who knows as much about anime as I do about the game, and it's nice to hear that you consider this little show a masterpiece. This show blew my mind and broke my heart, so as you'd expect, I went around watching all the analysis videos I could find, and honestly, I think yours is leagues above every other one I've watched. Honestly, thank you for uploading this, amazing work.

      ​@@Odin69 it isn't perfect but still lots of fun, especially after the updates. and night city ingame is just as much a vibe as it is in the anime, like a mad mix of tokyo and detroit (pew pew). also, pretty much everything in the anime is game accurate, from guns to locations, they did an incredible job replicating it. and most of the music from the anime is actually ingame. defo worth a try, 2077 is peaking on steam rn, probably the best time to get into it tbh.
      then again, i already love it and its a polish game so I'm biased.

    The scene in episode 2 is a Cyberpunk technology known as a Braindance.
    Braindances are a form of virtual reality, where everything was recorded by someone at some time. Most Braindances are used for personal pleasure (night club style), but you can get some that are far more relaxed and peaceful.
    The Brain dance acts in a similar way to the vr headsets from Sword Art Online, where all of your senses are translated into the video feed. Most times your perspective is that of the person who recorded the Braindance, however sometimes it can be captured from a video camera.
    The fact that they were on the moon means that either someone had recorded themselves being on the moon, or that a camera had picked up the surface of the moon, and allowed for a Braindance to be created.
    The Braindance is such a clever part of the game, and I was impressed with how it was factored into the story as a way to solve certain mysteries, and how it was useful for side quests too, not just a one and done deal.
    As a fan of the game, the anime did a fantastic job.

    I looked at it and personally it feels like David is the plot, his life, his mistakes, his friends, his dreams, all of it made it so watchable. The first episode set the tone of the world of cyberpunk's night city, A slum capital that has given up on itself, the poor fight and die easily whilst the rich live a relatively peaceful life. Cybernetics a blessing but also a curse as people chrome themselves to oblivion and lose themselves in night city. The best blessing is Studio trigger doing Gantz, Biomega, or a longer Cyberpunk foray into maybe the corporate wars and the veterans that came spilling out afterwards.

I feel like the visual adaptation they have done here is second to none. The art style is very faithful to the game and every detail from the UI overlay to the different menu pages perfectly woven into the picture at certain points is gorgeously executed yet the whole animation style is fresh and stylish. Such a nice symbiosis of known elements with a few distinct twists. Truly a Masterpiece!

    My favorite thing was how they portrayed Cyberpsychosis in the anime, there are questlines in the game that involve fighting Cyberpsychos, but you never get to understand them completely you know? You can find documents, piece together their background and understand their tragic stories, but otherwise they are just another enemy you might not think about if you don't read much into it. The anime nailed it, you can only imagine what kind of hell they are going through inside of their heads, makes their current state all the more tragic and painful, fighting them feels like an act of mercy.

    *SPOILERS*
    I agreed, so far the best anime this year, even tho the history tries to show David as a protagonist, the true protagonist is Night City, showing that a brilliant mind such as David, that had a simple lifestyle, not being accepted into the corporate starter pack, made his decend into cyberpsycosis, diving deeper into the crome dopamine using others dreams as a excuse to not accepting being downgraded.

    well, if it helps sell you to the game, all music apart from the opening and ending, they're all from the game. the braindance tech that lets them 'perceive' the surface of the moon like super vr, lucy and kiwi's hacking interface, david's sandevistan, maine's arm-mounted launcher, the locations, the very user interface and fonts used in the anime. they're all from the game, replicated 1:1. helps sell the idea that edgerunners and 2077 are both in the same universe. there are even characters from the game that show up in the show and vice versa. lastly, david's jacket and becca's shotgun are both obtainable equipment. and trust me, becca's shotgun will be necessary for the final act for some sweet sweet vengeance.

    Night City is often joked as "The City of Dreams" and Edgerunners truly captures that bittersweet irony from beginning to end. It encapsulates everything raw and unfiltered about living in that world and how the human connections shine the brightest through the dirt, rust, and disdain. But like all great adaptations, you've really got to dive into the source material to see the full scope of what the creator's vision was.

    6:55 to expand on this:
    I'd like to argue that the plot, is not just non-existent, but is a cliche (For example, David's mother in episode 1, the whole working tirelessly just to make a living, David fighting back the bully, he comes back with a "wow superpower" and beats the bully up and the audience is amazed by the MC power). That said, a cliche is a trope that is used over and over again until it becomes unoriginal. While the plot has unoriginal ideas, the director and story writers' execution of these tropes are fucking phenomenal, that it loops back into original territory and becomes satisfying as hell.
