Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022)

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022) — Action / Adventure / Animation Overview: Set in the neon-soaked, high-tech dystopia of Night City, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners follows David Martinez, a desperate street kid who turns to illegal cybernetic enhancements and a life on the margins to survive. When he’s taken in by a ragtag crew of mercenary “edgerunners,” David is swept into a fast, brutal world of high-stakes jobs, fierce loyalties, and dangerous implants that promise power at a terrible cost. What you’ll experience: - A visually striking, hyper-stylized anime rendered in vibrant neon and kinetic camera work — Studio Trigger’s animation is fast, flashy, and often dizzyingly inventive. - Relentless action sequences and close-quarters combat driven by futuristic weaponry and body augmentations; fights are physical, messy, and impactful. - A synth-heavy, pulse-pounding soundtrack that amplifies the tension and energy of Night City’s streets and nightclubs. - Deep emotional highs and lows: amid the adrenaline and spectacle the series explores friendship, ambition, love, and the human cost of cybernetic obsession. Character bonds are intense and the story leans into tragedy without pulling punches. - Immersive worldbuilding tied to the Cyberpunk 2077 universe — you’ll get a taste of the city’s class divides, corporate corruption, and the desperation that drives people to become edgerunners. - Ten tightly paced episodes that move quickly from gritty origin to escalating stakes, keeping momentum while developing a small, memorable cast. Content notes: graphic violence, body modification and gore, drug use, and mature themes — not for younger viewers. If you like stylish sci-fi anime with high-energy action, emotional stakes, and a tragic, cathartic edge, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners delivers a short but powerful ride through a dark, beautiful future.
