Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!!! We got that gooood Night City atmosphere, we got a pissed off protagonist, let's fucking go. If you want to see our reaction to the next episode right now, go check out our Patreon and get on early access: www.patreon.com/semblanceofsanity
In regards to what happend to his mom, i personally wonder if she ever stabilized at all, visitation wasn't allowed. So who's to say they weren't just using the days she was "recovering" to basically strip her for parts and sell them on the black market. Since even the remains service was discouraging him from receiving the body and played it like they were being helpful by sending remains directly to cremation.
Considering Gloria herself was stripping cadavers for tech to make ends meet, the staff at this obviously underfunded hospital certainly do the same thing.
BTW guys, this story takes place or ends in 2076, one year before the game and V's story. After the anime they updated the game to add edgerunners' items and a quest to the game. The quest serves a little as an epilogue to the anime in case anyone is hungry for it. So it does spoil the anime.
Question: Is it necessary to have played the game / read the books in order to fully understand or enjoy the anime? I'm thinking of starting this series.
@@jasondoe2596 Not *necessary*, but the game gives a lot of context for some of the stuff that happens there. You also get used to the lingo by playing the game first.
@@jasondoe2596 Certain concepts could be confusing at start (like braindances), but the anime explains it in the following episodes anyway. Knowing it from the game makes it more enjoyable tho.
In the Subtitled version the subs for the phone call were integrated into the actual on screen UI. Pretty movie-like. I was actually confused because it looked like the subs dissappeared and I couldn't figure out what was happening.
16:13 fun fact, Katsuo's voice actor posted on Twitter that he had snuck in some Jojo ORA ORAs in a few of his takes and they used one of those! You can hear a couple quick "ora ORA" during the beatdown at 13:06 😆
It's so dystopian and detached from any humanity, which I think nails the point. The way it evokes the image of a vending machine is definitely intentional
Oh man this anime, the one that made Cyberpunk 2077 have a comeback. I've lost count how many times I've booted the game up with flight mod, and a radio "skip music" mod, and just flew or floated above the city at night listening to the music. Remembering both the anime and the game. The only bs about this episode is the most advanced Sandy costing only 10k lmao, cmon doc. They are so fricking expensive I get annoyed just remembering.
oh yeah, he was deliberately lowballing and counting on David being desperate and not being able to find anyone to sell to, which is why he dropped the price again on the second call.
Worth saying a lot of the story was done by CDPR. Rafal Jaki was the main man who had this anime created who was a previous CDPR employee who also created The Witcher Ronin and is also creating a cyberpunk 2077 based novel. And the main story outline was written by Bartosz Sztybor who also writes a lot of the cyberpunk 2077 comics (which are also really good) and it was really a big collaboration between trigger and cdpr with them having up to 4 hour long meetings. For example trigger used an early build of the game to get background shots and Imashi himself played the game to get a sense of the tone. I mention this all because a lot of people don't recognize just how much CDPR did here. (also the game is great and I will die on that hill) On another note the English dub is fun, but Imashi did say during an AMA that he did create the show with the intention of it being listened to in JPN
@@hurrdurrmurrgurr Sure, and it makes more sense to watch vinland dubbed, or banana fish, or yuri on ice. I don't mind the dub I am just mentioning the director envisioned it one way.
Just noticed a really funny sub mistake. When the schoolbully asks the MC is he's got anything slotted, he's actually asking 'MMA freeware maybe?', but for some reason the subtitles say 'Anime freeware maybe?'.
The game is actually quite good now, I enjoy it a lot. Yes there are still bugs and minor issues, like ai struggling to drive in cut scenes, your friend walking through closets and causing paper to fly, your buddy driving into a street lamp, but honestly very enjoyable and fun
My guy that ending didn t make me feel shit. It was So Fast i didn t Even had time to shed a tear. If you think the show is traumatic them damm you haven t seen or read true horror stuff
They fully patched the game and it's playable now, the show helped it reach a million sales which is great since it wasn't given a chance at rollout, just an fyi
1. I love the fact that David's apartment is the same one that V rents exactly a year later during the events of 2077 Also, yeah, literallx the entire city is copy and pasted from the game to the anime. So anyone who played the game actually has a pretty good chance of recognising many of the locations from look alone 2. This show does a *really good job* at selling how dangerous a cyberpsycho is. Even more so when they have military grade implants. Hell, MaxTac's field operatives are basically *made up* of high functioning cyber psychos. 3. The repetition of David's routine multiple times is honestly great cause it sells how the state of Night City is just accepted as normal
Oh, I assumed you'd guys would watch it in the original Japanese so that was the version I watched to prepare for this reaction series. Oh well! Great reaction by the way, looking forward to this series.
Keanu Reeves has been in an anime before... a bit. He's in A Kid's Story from the Animatrix along with Carrie Ann Moss. She also appears in A Detective's Story. Both of those shorts were directed by Shinichiro Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop fame
To be fair to the game, it has improved quite a lot. He played it very early on. I bought it after the 1.65 patch update and it was extremely fun and not particularly messy.
There's a whole idea that not everyone notices, that "cyberpsychosis" is not what the general powers that be say it is. People can withstand a certain amount of cyberware usage. That causes *physical* stress. But emotional/psychological/mental stress also factors into our physical bodies. "Cyberpsychosis" is simply the act of someone having a mental break. The idea is that it is *absolutely* possible to "bring someone back" from what we call cyberpsychosis, because it's just a mental break. People can go through treatment to recover from mental breaks. They can get medication. Psychological treatment. Those kinds of things. But IN THIS WORLD OF CYBERPUNK, because it's *expensive to do*, it' just more "cost effective" to push the idea that cyberpsychos are irredeemable. That way instead of spending money on treatment for people, they spend the cost of a few bullets. It also explains why MAX TAC soldiers are *all*, to a man, former cyberpsychos. Because they were rehabiiltated and given a free pass to kill. They take the people that are *truly* dangerous, make them mentally stable to a point, and enable their bloodlust. This is all stuff that Mike Pondsmith, who created the game/series/etc. has said many times. The entire TTG series (and by extension the CDPR game and anime) is a commentary/criticism of capitalism.
Cyberpunk2077 really got better and more stable after a few patches. sadly many just didnt gave it a second chance before the anime came out. but at least now they are seeing.
I've wanted to play Cyberpunk 2020 for a long time, I used to collect and read the books in pdf files. I'm one of those people that loved the game and it's connections to the old TTRPG, Edgerunners was the perfect anime for Cyberpunk's world.
CP2020 has the best character generation system of all time, the lifepath where you generate your character's whole backstory from a series of tables. This is how I ended up with a Brazilian guy who wore a pair of jeans and nothing else, and who had four high-level Corpo executive ex girlfriends, all of whom he'd broken up with amicably. His life's motivation was literally to sleep his way to wealth and fortune.
@@chaircheck2424 I'm honestly considering buying Cyberpunk 2020 and Red physically, i've recently gotten into TTRPG's and enjoy owning the physical books if I like em. I just have to convince my players I guess.
@@juicejooos Yeah, was just talking to one of my players about Red today. She was actually telling me she's surprised I hadn't bought it already lol. Guess getting them into it will be easier than I thought.
Thank you for this, after the travesty that happened to Blindwaves cyberpunk rection, another Cyberpunk reaction is just the thing to lift my spirits edited for clarification
Hey folks, loved your Arcane reaction, and I'm looking forward to Kaji and - particularly - Utena. Keep up the great work! One quick note - the TTRPG Cyberpunk is a product of the late 80's (88, IIRC), not the 70's. The more-famous 2020 edition was published in 1990. Especially nowadays, it has a very "future of the past" feel to it. Such as how you can Netrun into various Megacorp data fortresses and klep a stash... but you better remember to pay your long-distance phone bill.
Cyberpunk 2077 got better when they re-released it, and I actually play it regularly. But yeah... They should not have released so early in the first place.
~~Cuz I really wanna stay at your house ~~And I hope this works out ~~But you know how much you broke me apart ~~I'm done with you, I'm ignoring you, I don't wanna know~~
Finaly :D I keep telling people to give Cyberpunk a chance and understand the careful approuch after that mess of a release since myself got really frustrated with that broken game. Then Edgerunners came and made me want to play it al over again and play I did, now the game is fixed and is actually fun, the story is deep, the graphics are stunning and soundtrack... God, the soundtrack...
It's great to see you reacting to this show but I have a one grip: those shoddy subtitles. Looks like those were ripped from Netflix day one and no one bothered to check for fixes Netflix made. Examples: Animals say "Ara-suckers" instead of "Suckers", making a pun of Arasaka. "Anime freeware" is actually "MMA freeware". I recommend you to quickly change those subtitles to something better.
Cyberpunk 2077 was a mess on launch. After its fixes it became one of my favorite video games of all time. I definitely recommend giving it a second chance

YEEEESSS! Loving this show so much. Such a masterpiece.
"The loli stays" wasn't a real thing, for the record. It was a absurdist mistranslation of the actual interview, where she's not actually referred to as a "loli"
Subtitles are a bit fucky. For example, almost certain Katsuo said "MMA freeware, maybe?" not "Anime". Or even smaller things like "'Bout time" when he said "High time".
The game story and characters were actully always pretty great the game itself was indeed a mess for a while but now its pretty great even if you can sometimes notice the cut corner the art direction and story is on point, its a rich deep world with unique ways to approch some missions. sure they are few glitches here and there but nothing game breakingOverall its a pretty memorable game with some great quotes.
While 2077 is absolutely a pile of half realized potential, I maintain that as a single player cyberpunk story it's still pretty damn good. Also the sad irony of Edgerunner's being a one and done is that it actually has the perfect set up within the framework of Nightcity for a multi season show.
I found this channel from heavenly delusion, I checked the playlist and you have CYBPUNK, PARASITE, INVINCIBLE, what else can I ask for… I’ll look for evangelion and cowboy bebop but I doubt it :( they are too popular
@@dediualex3554 It was unpolished, but story is great and gameplay is decent so it couldn't be shit no matter what state it was in. It was a buggy mess, but otherwise-it was a great game.
The combination of under-delivering on things it promised and a near unplayable amount of bugs left a bad impression for many, especially players who got in early.
Oh god the comment section is already turning into a sub vs dub war with both sides already waving their flags. Both options are pretty damn solid here, like most of the time, so stop being petty about it. -- I prefer the Japanese dub tbh tho haha
I'm still gonna watch the vids to support the boys but I wish they'd given both sub and dub a chance before making a decision. I understand the sentiment of "the game is in english so the anime should be in english" and I'll admit It's nice to hear the future slang but my problem with that argument is the voice acting here sounds nothing like 2077 😅. The Edgerunners dub has the same cartoonish overacting you'd expect from most dubbed anime and I know a lot of people prefer that and that's fine I won't talk down to anyone for harmlessly enjoying a show, but seeing people use the game as a talking point in these sub vs dub debates when the two are like night and day is just weird. It's okay to prefer dubbed anime you don't have to justify it to anyone but you can choose to enjoy the dub while still acknowledging the vocal performances are total opposites
@@AlexanderArtsThere are definitely some good performances in the dub and I love hearing them say choom but other than that the game and anime sound totally different in english
The official subs suck really bad though. Tons of errors, it’s like the translators had never looked at any of the source material. Plus it just is weird to hear the Japanese VA’s just speak totally normal Japanese in this fucked-up Californian dystopia. They could’ve at least tried to adapt some of the slang, but they went with the most banal and basic translations. Also Rebecca’s English VA does a waaaay better job imo.
Well, to each their own, but Edgerunners was one of the rare cases in anime in which I preferred the dubbed version. It doesn't feel like the voice acting in 2077, but it still feels 10x more natural than hearing the characters speaking japanese.
@@danielbueno8474 I will give credit where credit is do and I like the Edgerunners dub a lot more than some other modern dubs but personally I still think the sub is a cut above the rest not just against dubs I think it's a good sub in general, but as long as more people get to enjoy the show then it doesnt really matter which you prefer
@@fugosfork7907 all about preferences I guess. Personally I couldn't stand how jp voices seemed to be mismatched to characters, not to mention the slang terms feeling just wrong.
@@pyron4913 i definitely dont think the jp voices are mismatched, I'd even say they're a better fit. The slang terms are really cringe to me so i didnt mind them being left out for most part. It is preference for most part though so yeah
@@fugosfork7907 Honestly fair enough. Weirdly enough it seems like the biggest dealbreaker for people for both is just choosing getting imersed in the series itself (jp) or the world (eng) which at least isn't a bad problem to have.
@@pyron4913 that's an interesting point. It's not like i think the english dub is shit or anything, i just strongly prefer the japanese one. My brother watched the show in both and he didn't mind either
NICE This whole anime was a beautiful piece of art I'm glad I never played the game, I don't want to associate the characters In this with anyone from the game

The martial arts sounds were supposed to sound like Bruce Lee; the dub VA asked if he could do a JoJo reference instead.

"Anime freeware" is actually "MMA freeware".

Okay, I haven't been able to finish this one for a long time. Looks like I'll be finishing it with you guys.

While 2077 is absolutely a pile of half realized potential, I maintain that as a single player cyberpunk story it's still pretty damn good. Also the sad irony of Edgerunner's being a one and done is that it actually has the perfect set up within the framework of Nightcity for a multi season show.
LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I found this channel from heavenly delusion, I checked the playlist and you have CYBPUNK, PARASITE, INVINCIBLE, what else can I ask for… I’ll look for evangelion and cowboy bebop but I doubt it :( they are too popular
Oh man, here we go again, choom.
Game was amazing, what are they talking about?
at launch game was dogshit
@@dediualex3554 It was unpolished, but story is great and gameplay is decent so it couldn't be shit no matter what state it was in. It was a buggy mess, but otherwise-it was a great game.
True
The combination of under-delivering on things it promised and a near unplayable amount of bugs left a bad impression for many, especially players who got in early.
No, subtitles! He said "MMA freeware, not anime freeware!"
Oh, boy...
OMGGG LEZ GOOOOO JACOB CALEB AHABWHAHAHAU
Oh god the comment section is already turning into a sub vs dub war with both sides already waving their flags. Both options are pretty damn solid here, like most of the time, so stop being petty about it.

I prefer the Japanese dub tbh tho haha
Lol it soo good it made a bunch of people play the game.
I'm still gonna watch the vids to support the boys but I wish they'd given both sub and dub a chance before making a decision. I understand the sentiment of "the game is in english so the anime should be in english" and I'll admit It's nice to hear the future slang but my problem with that argument is the voice acting here sounds nothing like 2077 😅. The Edgerunners dub has the same cartoonish overacting you'd expect from most dubbed anime and I know a lot of people prefer that and that's fine I won't talk down to anyone for harmlessly enjoying a show, but seeing people use the game as a talking point in these sub vs dub debates when the two are like night and day is just weird. It's okay to prefer dubbed anime you don't have to justify it to anyone but you can choose to enjoy the dub while still acknowledging the vocal performances are total opposites
I agree, the English VO is a lot more corny than the game's VA and the Japanese VA feels more on point, though they don't use any of the slang.
@@AlexanderArtsThere are definitely some good performances in the dub and I love hearing them say choom but other than that the game and anime sound totally different in english
The official subs suck really bad though. Tons of errors, it’s like the translators had never looked at any of the source material. Plus it just is weird to hear the Japanese VA’s just speak totally normal Japanese in this fucked-up Californian dystopia. They could’ve at least tried to adapt some of the slang, but they went with the most banal and basic translations.
Also Rebecca’s English VA does a waaaay better job imo.
Well, to each their own, but Edgerunners was one of the rare cases in anime in which I preferred the dubbed version. It doesn't feel like the voice acting in 2077, but it still feels 10x more natural than hearing the characters speaking japanese.
@@danielbueno8474 I will give credit where credit is do and I like the Edgerunners dub a lot more than some other modern dubs but personally I still think the sub is a cut above the rest not just against dubs I think it's a good sub in general, but as long as more people get to enjoy the show then it doesnt really matter which you prefer
the game is great now just fyi
It was great back then too. As long as you didnt play on old consoles. I played on pc and only had like 2 small bugs.
20:40
Let's go!!! The Dub is the best way to watch this show!
I disagree, I watched a few episodes in dub first but just had to switch to sub after hearing both
@@fugosfork7907 all about preferences I guess. Personally I couldn't stand how jp voices seemed to be mismatched to characters, not to mention the slang terms feeling just wrong.
@@pyron4913 i definitely dont think the jp voices are mismatched, I'd even say they're a better fit. The slang terms are really cringe to me so i didnt mind them being left out for most part. It is preference for most part though so yeah
@@fugosfork7907 Honestly fair enough. Weirdly enough it seems like the biggest dealbreaker for people for both is just choosing getting imersed in the series itself (jp) or the world (eng) which at least isn't a bad problem to have.
@@pyron4913 that's an interesting point. It's not like i think the english dub is shit or anything, i just strongly prefer the japanese one. My brother watched the show in both and he didn't mind either
it's sandevistan time
So what do you wanna do…
what’s your pov…………………
Oh they have no Idea what they are getting into

NICE
This whole anime was a beautiful piece of art
I'm glad I never played the game, I don't want to associate the characters In this with anyone from the game
Your loss I guess ?
@@Tacticaviator7 my loss? Lmao the game is trash and that's a majority opinion.
@@アキコ2003 it had problems, but it wasn't trash
Letsgooo
Great animation, but by the end it feel pretty pointless. I could see it coming from a mile away.
A mess, but a pretty mess.
