A high-octane future

I’d usually be a bit lukewarm on the idea of a Cyberpunk anime, seeing how 2077 didn’t fairly land for me or others. I’ve gone again because the launch of the next-gen replace for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Collection X|S, and whereas I dig a whole lot of the little enhancements which were made since launch, I’m nonetheless iffy on the general recreation.

What’s saved me on this has been Studio Set off’s involvement. The animation home behind Kill la Kill and Promare has a well-regarded background in over-the-top motion. And at the moment’s trailer is a mixture of over-the-top motion and Studio Set off model. Edgerunners looks as if it might no less than make for a enjoyable watch.

Netflix has landed some stable animated recreation variations up to now, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has the advantage of drawing on each the online game and the tabletop franchise behind it. Of the various, many online game variations within the works, this might no less than handle to be a enjoyable, futuristic romp.
