Cyberpunk Edgerunners made me Depressed.

The Cyberpunk anime might be the best anime of 2022 (At least, until Chainsaw Man starts airing). It's pretty much a masterpiece. Studio Trigger went absolutely nuts on this. The animation is perfect and the Cyberpunk OST has been stuck in my head the entire week. It's rare for a 10 episode anime to leave such a massive impression, and I feel empty now that it's over.

"I almost feel like I shouldn't watch another anime yet just to give myself some more time to process this one."
Same here man. This show is something special and will stand the test of time.

Becca being the most human yet being killed by the most inhuman thing is poetic yet tragic

The ending for that one scene has been stuck in my head for the past week. Not sure if its good or bad since since it made me sad everytime.

“Difficult to watch, and impossible to stop watching” might be the best description of this show I’ve heard.

Cyberpunk edgerunners is probably one of if not the best anime based on a game I've ever seen

[ssshiro]

Changing my pronouns to he/them cause ill never be "him" gotta be one of the best lines ive ever heard. Love your takes man, shit made me depressed as well😭

To me it felt like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners took literally everything I accepted over the years as the "necessary evils" of anime and threw them all out the window, while still remaining 100% anime in it's characteristics. Unreasonable plot armor, pulling punches, overexaggerated clishé character tropes, unfitting happy endings, etc.... Edgerunners has none of it. It lays down the rules of it's world and plays by them, no bs, no "but there is actually a way", no "but he's special". In a way the very thing that made the plot unpredictable was the kind of predictable plot itself mixed with our brains being conditioned to think "this is looking bad but they'll SURELY find a way to end it all on a happy note". Absolute masterpiece of a show.

I sobbed at this show for hours, it really brought my mental health down and fucked me up and I'm still trying to get over it. I only finished it a few days ago. This show left a huge impact on me. Made me reflect honestly.

I'm not gonna lie when you said "I'm changing my pronouns to he/them, because I'll never be him" I spit out my drink, that was unexpected and hilarious

[cydthemanic]

It's an extremely rare occasion where an anime wraps up everything beautifully within a small amount of episodes and makes you feel an empty void deep inside that needs to be filled up immediately due to how awesome it was.
This was an excellent anime to view.

By the end of the anime, "I really want to stay at your house" do be hitting pretty hard in the feels. Each time I hear it in the game I kinda need to stop myself from playing and think back to everything that has happend and be drepressed yet again

[sofianebessaha]

Its really weird how this anime managed to make me feel something so close to grief, i genuinely miss david and the group, and the saddest part is to imagine myself in lucy shoes more alone than she's ever been that's a fate worse than death

[rettwoods]

I've been depressed for a whole damn week since watching it. 10/10

[UBtagSoGood]

It's okay to grieve. That "empty" feeling is natural and I highly recommend letting it all out. I've lost 5 family and friends in the last 4 years and you just can't keep it in. The emotions you feel at the loss of beloved fictional character is just as real. It doesn't hurt any less.

I did not cry at the ending but i feel like it literally shatterd my heart like i can feel the pain inside of me, at this point not even the truama team can save us from this depression, its alll adam smasher's fault

[mrtimurer]

0:46 - 0:59 That's exactly what I feel right now. Watched the show at 4 am and couldn't fall asleep untill 7 am or so. The feeling of emptiness and hopelessness as well as the fact that David achieved nothing and changed nothing and we as the fact that viewers knew this from the start is too much. Realization that night city is full of stories like this really makes me wish we never reach this point as a species.

[abhijeetpoudel]

This anime got me so depressed that i re downloaded cyberpunk and then finished it in three days and got depressed again after getting the worst ending possible on my first try. What a trip

[SiverSummer]

I binged this series, its now 4am. I am feeling pretty empty and i can't go to sleep. this show hit me like a truck.

Thanks for echidnut looking out for the plant people, that photosynthesis warning really saved them
