Yeah the game just needed some love and time for them to actually finish it. After that it was perfectly playable. But the IP was dead in the water because people were burned from the launch. This anime just got people excited for it all over again. Then they released free updates including ideas from the anime which was just the perfect way to revive the title. The game was always good it just needed to be polished the story, the city, the entire idea was interesting. It just didn't shine through the issues at launch for many people which is understandable. Wasn't the devs fault they insisted they needed more time but it wasn't up to them. I just feel bad they took the heat for how it was at launch.

This anime has revived both my interest in CP2077 and anime in general. Studio Trigger and CDPR collabing wasn't something I'd expect to happen, but it did, and they knocked it out of the park. An anime with the great animation and unique artstyle one can expect from Studio Trigger, alongside a great story and great characters are always welcomed. And the final scene with Lucy on the Moon remembering David is one of the few times an anime has made me cry, and just for that, I regard this series as a masterpiece. Also, IMO this is one of the few times that the english dub is on par, if not better than the original japanese audio, so there's that. BTW Rebecca is besto waifu and I'll die on this hill.

An additional win needs to be given to the English dub. Seriously, it's probably the best dub I've ever seen. Every voice fits the actors so well! On top of that, all the characters from the game who have speaking lines in the anime reprise their roles here, including Adam Smasher, so there's a nice sense of continuity there. And Faraday is played by Giancarlo Esposito, who is just fantastic. It's such a good cast, I forgot I was watching a dub, it just felt so natural. If you're planning a rewatch, I definitely recommend giving the dub a try!

Lucy going to the moon is so bittersweet. She's finally living her dream but it means nothing to her if David isn't there to enjoy it with her

I feel like this is one of those anime where the experienced is actually enhanced by the dub. The dub allows for the unique usage of accents and slang that you miss with the sub.

What makes this show so unique is how tight it is. Not a single dull moment, not a single redundant scene, no fillers. Just top class animation start to finish and a story so tight with characters so interesting and compelling, it just draws you in and makes you binge watch it all in one go before you know it.

From this day onwards, that song is gonna remind me of this pain everytime it comes on.

Some of the music comes directly from the game, those being in the radio while you're driving. And the cool thing is they match so well with the scenes.

i already like your video before even watching because we all know cyberpunk is awesome

You have no idea how happy I was to see Mike Pondsmith credited with the creation of the Cyberpunk world. I met him at a GAMA convention in the early 90's...a great guy and a wonderful family...and now I realize the babe in arms at that show is now in their 30's and I have a sad. no shade, but you raving about how the series is like the computer game while I'm recognizing art from the paper RPG game from the 80's is kinda surreal. I never played the computer game, I had a potato until a month or two ago. But the art, style and the whole vibe resonates with the William Gibson novels and the tabletop RPG that I have fond memories of. THAT is dedication to the origins...and just how well the whole thing holds up 40 years later

I also like the little touch in the game that they now added his name as a drink in the Afterlife.

8 years for this, 100% worth it

It still amazes me how seamlessly they implement the game mechanics into the anime. It’s all exactly how it is in the game from all the locations all the way too the elevator buttons. They didn’t miss a single detail

Had to finish the series first. Knew I was gonna be in love from that city view at the very intro. Just that style drew me in so hard.

The worldbuilding and world itself cyberpunk has is so good I feel like a slice of life comedy set in night city would not only work but work great

7:57 honestly this scene was one of the hardest for me to watch. I've been there, obviously not the exact sane circumstances but in that physical position freaking out having a panic attack. Those flashes of thought rolling over the David while the music raises to an almost unbearable volume really encompasses what having panic attacks are like at least for me. Total sensory overload while feeling paralyzed to do anything. Along with the shaking, vibrating manic energy. Truly a wonderful scene depicting a terrible feeling. Edit: not to mention the classmate's call almost seeming like David's own thoughts yelling at himself.

I need a playlist of all the songs in this anime. Also, great job with the video.

I love the realism of Rebecca being flung back by the shotgun style blast. I fired a shotgun once, and even when firmly planted with a solid stance, that thing pushed me back a good foot, so yeah, they know what they're doing.

So i enjoyed 2077 a lot before seeing this anime, and after the anime, it gave me a whole new perspective on the game, and now i enjoy it even more. The universe is amazing and full of great stories, and the potential for many more.

win #19 was INSANE foreshadowing gawd damn looking back

I think one of the best things about this anime is that it didn’t try to do something revolutionary. It told a simple story in a simple way, but just knocked it out of the park while doing it. Sometimes when you do the simple things amazingly, you end up with an amazing product. Something more studios should take notice on and do, not just in anime but in general.

MAn, just watching THIS video made me ugly cry, this show just dropkicks you in the feels at every oppurtunity
