Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
jeff37923:
This anime is the ttrpg game brought to the screen.
Watching it inspired me to drag out my old Cyberpunk 2020 books and campaign notes to start game prep. Vox Machina left me uninterested in gaming with D&D style rules, but the opposite happened with Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Good animation, style, story, and characterization - it will be tough to beat.
There was a touch of pseudoscience near the end, but it was pretty forgivable.
Give it a shot. If you don't like it, I'll refund any money you give me. ;D
BoxCrayonTales:
What I like about the cartoon is that it is a self-contained story, doesn't expect you to read a ton of lore to understand the plot, isn't trying to push a stupid social justice message (the anti-corpo message is social justice, just not the stupid kind), understands the conventions of its own genre, and is more or less well plotted. So it doesn't suffer the pitfalls of shows made for a lot of other franchises.
It's a simple cyberpunk story. In fact, you could strip out Mike's IP and it would still work as a cyberpunk story. (I say that as someone who isn't familiar with Mike's work beyond it being cyberpunk.) It stands on its own.

I haven't seen it yet, but plan to binge it today or tomorrow.
Thornhammer:
I started this after finishing Ep 3 of Andor.
Five minutes of this has been better than the entire series of that.

A short music video made by the same team with a connected story.
