‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Game vs Netflix Anime ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ – What Do Fans Think?

The day has finally arrived. Netflix had promised a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
update in the GeekedWeek, and they did not disappoint us. The trailer for the
new anime, which shares its universe with the “breathtaking” game Cyberpunk
2077, was dropped mere hours ago. The trailer looks absolutely stunning, and the
only thing that beats the visuals is the mesmerizing original score.

But since the anime is a spin-off from the games, fans have somewhat of a base
to compare the new show with. So who do the fans think looks better, the game or
the new series? Let us find out.


WHAT IS CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS ABOUT?

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a 10-episode independent anime based on CD Projekt
Red’s 2020 action role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077. It chronicles the story of a
street boy attempting to survive in Night City, a futuristic metropolis
fascinated with body modification technology.

With no other options, the young man decides to become an “edge runner” or
cyberpunk, a mercenary outlaw-for-hire willing to go to any length to complete
the assignment.



Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren Lagann, Promare) directs the anime, which includes
character designs from Yoh Yoshinari. The world first got to know about the
anime’s development back in 2020. So it indeed has been a long wait to see it in
the flesh.


WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE SAYING?

Naturally, fans of the game have already begun to debate about the series living
up to its hype and the popularity of its original material, i.e., the game.

Surely, fans have a thing or two to tweet about.

While most people are still recovering from the rushed nature of the game, many
think the new series is an improvement and are hopeful to see it.

However, all of us will have to wait, as there is no release date for the anime
as of now. But a late 2022 release date seems most likely.

Netflix has kept the whole project under wraps even now as we do not know
anything about the cast apart from the director. But it will be great to see how
Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/] and the studio shall build up on the amazing
world of the game.

Are you guys also excited about the anime? Let us know in the comments what you
think.
