An interesting slightly retro eighties use of color is about the only thing this sub-par cyberpunk manga wannabe has going for it. The main word that comes to mind is "flat." Flat characters, flat animation, a flat world, and a flat story. NoAn interesting slightly retro eighties use of color is about the only thing this sub-par cyberpunk manga wannabe has going for it. The main word that comes to mind is "flat." Flat characters, flat animation, a flat world, and a flat story. No depth let alone originality or attention to detail to be detected anywhere.
It tries to pull of a sort of "Battle Angel"1993 (Alita)type of story. However the flat animation,the weak and barely worked out action scenes are barely at the level of late seventies animated series like Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets or Captain Future and nowhere near early nineties works like Battle angel or Akira and that would be the sophistication you need to make a story like this work. However we are more that a quarter of a century further in time. To be taken serious you have to compete with works like Appleseed Ex Machina (2007)and compared to that Cyberpunk Edgerunnners is a bad joke.
That is if the story was any good, which it isn't. It's a barely worked out heap of the most common cyberpunk manga cliches and flat characters. Again a complete lack of depth, detail, and worst originality.
It's like the makers of these series had a nice idea for a series and got the project started but then lost interest and couldn't be bothered to put in the time and energy needed to really make it special.… Expand

Really don’t get the hype on this. It’s just another shoot’em up series with some style - but no soul.

A lot of neat ideas that don't have enough breathing room to be impactful or meaningful. Wish this was a 16 episodic-esc series that had much more breathing room to set up characters and emotional pay-off. Really wants to be Cowboy BebopA lot of neat ideas that don't have enough breathing room to be impactful or meaningful. Wish this was a 16 episodic-esc series that had much more breathing room to set up characters and emotional pay-off. Really wants to be Cowboy Bebop without properly setting up characters and giving them proper depth and singular moments with them. Not terrible by any means, but this is just style over substance.… Expand

Another failed attempt for the massive failure that was supposed to be a franchise… You continue to disappoint just let it die already

Started off well, by the 5th episode I was ready for it to be over. Primarily due to David who just felt wooden and I couldn’t take seriously.

All the other characters were great.

Story was a bit all over the place.

Hokuto no Ken in emo punk sauce.

(Without the charisma and depth of Hokuto no Ken. And without Ken.)
