Even the trash pile he jumps on is in game. Pretty sure it’s a 1.5 edit, but I haven’t played since 1.2 there’s a lot of XP farm not far from where he first sees Lucy. It’s down the street from the coyote cojo, near el pinche pollo.

@Keshuel The hell? What, do you think everything is sunshine and rainbows outside? Not everything needs to show a happier story. These sadder stories leave much more impact and it shows off a realistic side of things because life ain't always happy.
This scene is so amazing for world building. Even people who never played the game can take a look and have a really good idea of the social inequality of this city,how there are flying cars and everything but an absurd amount of people living on the street,how even they have access to cyberwear(although just basic stuff) and it also shows how disconnected with death this city is since we can see a splash of blood just left there on the ground. All in just a couple minutes with a banger of a song,I love this show!
Actually, the cyberpunk is about the late capitalism-liberalism-neoliberalism-anarcocapitalism. The sad thing is that we are actually in a late-awful capitalism.
Shows eve in just his route to work. There’s so much garbage on the stairwell he has to drop into a pile of garbage a story below to get through. It’s telling how the garbage is always there and will never be picked up that he can do that without even thinking about it.
This just looks like my country India. Slum people may have mobile phones, but they anyway live in those congested dirty slums, just a few yards away from hundreds of high rise buildings of millionaires or even billionaires. At least, here I can't see dogs and cattle on the roads.
From such humble beginnings to being full fledged Edgerunner. If it was anywhere else he could have been something truely special. But in Night City, being 'special' can only take you so far. Such a tragic story, which ironically is the very reason why Edgerunners has left such a impact in our hearts and shall be remembered as a masterpiece...
He wasn't special, he just had high tolerance. The creators used the word special cuz they knew what effect it has on the audience. The special one was V (unfortunately)
Man, they give Night City so much freaking CHARACTER with just this short montage. It really makes it stand out as a unique and compelling location, and really adds to the verismilitude. So many other anime, scifi and fantasy, should really learn from this. Too many of them take place in generic cookie-cutter worlds that feel like minimal-effort video game cut scenes. I know this anime is based on an IP that has a 30+ year history of development, so they already had a rich background to draw on, but I really appreciate the extra effort taken here to really showcase it.
Mike Pondsmith and CDPR are second to none in world building. Trigger has my absolute respect for staying true to the source material and delivering this love letter to every Cyberpunk fan.
That’s really funny to me since this game, world, and the other media related kind of prides itself on being an homage to all the tropes and media of the cyberpunk sci-fi genera, almost like a “yelp, we ARE the standard sci-fi cyberpunk setting, and we do it best”
i really love that they practically just used illustrated backgrounds from the actual game for pretty much the entire show. you can visit nearly every location from every shot. you can even go inside of rebecca's apartment, and the one david and lucy owned is in the game too
1:23 this is such a powerful scene that encapsulates david's naive attitude towards everything. This slouching, non-chalant "Ah, just another pool of blood on the streets of Night City in the morning to school!" being so unaware of the harshness of the world to come. Then that magical rainbow flicker across the screen as it highlights Lucy; his magic to chase out of this normalcy his mother has sheltered him in.
@@rezonan3520 he also smiles because he remembered his mother was on news tv when evacuating the dead cyberpsycho. He smiled because he was proud of her
@@StarRider587 that was a Sad and tired smile, as if he's so tired of seeing crime scene every day it's not even worth making a sad face anymore, just put on smile on the face instead
This show came out of nowhere. I had no idea that they were even making this show and when it came out it looked so good. Everyone kept hyping it up and I finished the anime in one night and I’m playing Cyberpunk 2077 again. It feels good to play cyberpunk again, I feel like the anime reignited my desire to play :)
I think I was one of the people who know there was an anime coming for a long long time. I remember hearing stuff about an anime back in 2019 and possibly before. But I NEVER expected it to get as popular as it is.
The think that I love about cyberpunk is that the portrayal of night city can easily be any cosmopolitan city in the American continent but with steroids, me leaving my home and looking at the amount of homeless crazy people, the opulence next door to the most absurd poverty, the apathy of the citizen towards the bizarrednes of their ambience, everything resonates with my own environment. Every time I see night city, in a very dark way, it hits home.
science fiction and satire dont predict the future they criticize the present, night city in a way IS an american city on steroids half of the shit in this clip is something you can see in grimier parts of california cities
That's why I love dystopias. They're a distillation of all our anxieties and fears about society. The Cyberpunk genre was basically 1980s america's anxieties about environmental degradation, urban decay, rising crime, the crack epidemic, emergence of digital technology, the rise of Japanese multi-nationals competing with American businesses, and of course ever-increasing influence of corporations into our lives. Most of these themes resonate with us today.
It's ironic how the moon looked way better and much more beautiful virtually in episode 1 in contrast with the desolate vibe it had in final ep. For people who have watched the show, we know precisely why so. Breathtaking show
It wasn't even it being desolate, it was just a tourist attraction that is fully comercialized and has none of the atmosphere that Lucy wanted. It wasn't a place to be free from the way society is being ran in that universe, it was a product of it which was really sad. Turns out that you can't escape that corporationism even if you leave the planet.
@@januszkurahenowski2860 As I recall, there's a city colony on the moon with a population of 10k or something like that? ...Not that it helps trying to escape capitalism though
This whole scene slaps, but I especially love the animation from 0:16 to 0:19. Something about the way his movements and hair are so fluid and bouncy is super satisfying.
Wow, that's a nice detail. That's one of the good things about the internet, people with better eye to appreciate details share the details and we all can notice good things that otherwise we wouldn't have noticed.
One of the best scenes ever made in an anime. It perfectly visualizes David’s personality and inner struggle, perfectly sets the tone of night city, and teases the relationship he will have with the mystery girl. They knocked it out of the park in just a 2 minute scene.
The great part is that you can actually follow in David's footsteps and use his exact route from his Megabuilding all the way to school. It's really cool how Trigger made sure that the route was just like how it is ingame. 😉
@@granolwad Yeah, you can really see how they went into the game and took screenshots which could then be stylized it a bit to serve as perfect backdrops for the anime. That just makes it so nice how everything just lines up. Ofcourse there are some creative liberties at play like Lucy's apartment door being actually the fire escape in Judy's apartment complex but overall it's great how you can walk around Night City and actually visit a lot of those places. Like Rebecca & Pilar's apartment, the dumpster where Kiwi breathed her last. This was a great collaboration imo and Edgerunners now ranks among my most favorite anime shows.
Anyone notice the amount of foreshadowing? Rocket in the reflection of the train window (moon), trauma team (multiple times) and lucy making a guest appearance. Theres even a poster that says "strong arms" which could allude to David getting enhancement (specifically an arm from someone). And even the guy in the suit poster could be seen as Faraday.
imma be honest. This song plays every morning the moment i wake up. I set up my alarm to play this song around my house. Its a really good song, It helps me get ready for the day.
1:15 you can see the advertisements that were David's choices in life. He's walking in the direction of "strong arms", foreshadowing what decision he's planning to make.
@@mrpizzacat8273 if you want to be pedantic, Netflix is also contributing on edge runner because its mainly responsible for the distribution process, as much as studio trigger for producing the show, and cdpr for pitching and partially funding the project I supposed. Regardless of how you feel about Netflix, you can't denied that they have the platform that can distribute the show on a global scale, just imagine if edge runners are distributed by some company that only available in japan, people in the us would've wait weeks until they can watch the show.
They did a great job of showing what Night City is like without a full on explanation scene. You can just see how much apathy is in the street and what the world is like.
The show takes place about a year before the events of CP77 so likely not. It would have been kind of cool if the events of the show transpired while V was in the middle of recovering from a lead injection to the head though 😅.
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 It's just his opinion? It might not be for you but it is for plenty of people. It's objectively good but it will be a masterpiece for some and just a good show for others
David martinez is the reason my overly emotional self always drive safely so i don’t accidentally kill an npc in cyberpunk 2077. Every hobo, love doll, and pos addict is a regular person like david at some point. My imagination is too good and it rips my heart up
The 1st ep of Edgerunners introduced Night City so well. I started playing Cyberpunk right after watching Edgerunner and I can’t help but smile each time I go to the same places from the anime in game.
Is it a stretch that at 1:15 the billboards at the background looks like it foreshadows David punching the bully? Or how he walks towards the left side like he's leaning towards becoming an edgerunner?
The environment and feeling are so expressive that you really like to pay attention to the details. I love it in the game too and it's so perfect in the anime. It gave to people the desire to play again.
For as colorful and poppy as Trigger made this world, it's actually so lore accurate. This world is extremely dark and you constantly learn worse things about it. It's like if humans in The Last Of Us coincidentally had a cyber-technological renaissance as shit hit the fan.
I hope Studio Trigger works more with CDPR for more animations. Would love to see more Cyberpunk stories, but knowing Trigger, this was most likely an one-shot series. This was there absolute best, since "Promare". And that movie was just eye-candy, but boy did it look smooth during action sequences. Studio Trigger does some great work!
doesnt matter if you watch edgerunners or play 2077, you'll always have the crossing's "wait, wait, wait, walk, walk, walk, walk" stuck in your head lol
People always say they expect the ending bcs they played the game. I never played it so I had hope. Even tho the foreshadowing is explicitly shown in the final moments of the opening credits in every episode, I still thought to myself "Nah they wouldn't go there." And then they did. I feel like it got me broken even worse than the people who did play the game.
@@devro312 Well played ya, Deven: Have you even tried to playing "Cyberpunk 2077" game 🎮 right after you have watching-up "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" anime on the Netflix right now...🤔😗?
I decided to follow Davids route in-game, which was actually a lot of fun. Right when he leaves the megabuilding, it's just a straight walk to the station. And then everything gets kind of strange. The closest station to the city center and Arasaka tower would be the memorial park metro. We then see him going across a crosswalk which actually faces away from the center in the opposite direction. The next under the overpass scene is on the opposite side of the street with the crosswalk which would make David turn back around towards the metro, or make a really big circle outside of the center (the second putting him walking in the right direction under that overpass. When walking to Petrochem David is actually walking from the other side of the building away from Petrochem based on the location of that overpass he walked under. so at some point he walked away and then turned around and walked toward the building. The next scene where he's looking up at the fish with the Militech building to his right, and the Arasaka building to his left, is once again walking away from the Petrochem building, meaning he did a 360 since the overpass (walking away, towards, away) The next Stair scene should be a floor above, looking at the H buildings between the Petrochem building and the Militech Building. He looks up to see Lucy on the left side of the staircase, (which is actually really close to that glass panel, He then runs to the opposite side of the staircase to look out over the city and for her, as matched with the two spinning orange cars. *After this video ends (Still on his way to school)* He runs to the right of the circle, ending up on the east side We see him standing on one of the elevated walkways at the top, looking at the Arasaka building, which means he either when back down and looped around to get on the correct Walkway, or he just keep running North and went up the walkway a little bit to look at the building. As the scene skips to him at the Academy, He would have walked back east again (or if he looped around, continues to walk east) and continued down two levels, then took a left towards the building entrance. It was fun tailing him even though a lot of the route is opposite of the correct direction, or looped around a bunch. I like figuring out which spot he was at and which direction he was moving.
The scene was Soo cool with this music!! The city was pretty vibrant around David! I especially loved the part at 1:09 _"we hadn't seen each other! but. No worries. For my looove..."_ the silly track stops and just a cool sweet part in it!! The fish holograms reminded me of Blade Runner 2049 and Ghost in the Shell (2017) aesthetic and the way neon white hair of Lucy appeared was very attractive!!! She was the hot girl I was waiting to see and get with David and boy it was satisfying!!
This song bro. It’s so chill I actually play this song while playing the game so I can hear it all the time when I’m driving around the city. It’s really catchy
It was always gonna end bad for David, even before the show came out there was a drink in game at the bar with "legend drinks" , David Martinez was one of them and the description always read, "go out with a bang" , its insane to me how that ended up becoming the premise of this amazing show.. i would of liked David to live but regardless he managed to become another Night city legend, i still think it was an incredible show.. im still salty about Becca tho 😢
@@bolivianthunderluz7198 it was literally added in the 1.5 update, I dont know what to tell you. Load up an older version of the game like 1.2 or 1.3 if you don't believe me. There aren't any videos older 7 months that mention David Martinez.
@@bolivianthunderluz7198 There was no 4d chess, it's just that the production of the anime, i think, started around i yeah, before the release of Cyberpunk 2077
It would be cool if the Edgerunner series was kinda like an anthology where every season tells a different story of the characters behind each of the afterlife beverages. SPOILER AHEAD: (For any who don't know, the afterlife is a bar within the game Cyberpunk 2077 in which the drinks are named after legendary figures of Night City who died. If you go there in game, you can actually order the David Martinez drink with a little synopsis about the character.)
I loved how they included David taking a shortcut by just jumping at some random location, that's every player of an open world rpg ever

Whoa I never knew that cool detail bro!
I wish I could watch this all over again and I just finished it, great job Netflix please keep the same standard up
Thank studio Trigger they are the ones who made it, Netflix just slapped there branding on it
@@mrpizzacat8273 trigger made animations, cdprojekt red wrote the whole story.
@@mrpizzacat8273 well then thank you trigger studios genuinely one of the best animes I've watched in a while
@@mrpizzacat8273 well netflix just fund projects. I don't think they have in house production teams
@@mrpizzacat8273 if you want to be pedantic, Netflix is also contributing on edge runner because its mainly responsible for the distribution process, as much as studio trigger for producing the show, and cdpr for pitching and partially funding the project I supposed.
Regardless of how you feel about Netflix, you can't denied that they have the platform that can distribute the show on a global scale, just imagine if edge runners are distributed by some company that only available in japan, people in the us would've wait weeks until they can watch the show.
As someone with a brother named David Martinez from Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic), this hit different lol.
This scene gave me goosebumps and was the exact moment I knew the anime would be special.
0:05 they even reference rtx reflections
昨日見終わったけどこんなん泣きたくなるわ
ありがとうございます！

This is one of the most popular scene in the show, I'm not suprised that netflix clipped it.
They did a great job of showing what Night City is like without a full on explanation scene. You can just see how much apathy is in the street and what the world is like.
I swear having done 3 playthroughs of the game was pointing like Leo throughout this whole show they even brought in all the sound effects
Thank you Mr. Pondsmith for one of my favorite game worlds ever. Night City truly is a spectacle
for a second i thought at 0:57 that was the point of view of the Trauma team we called on the prologue mission
The show takes place about a year before the events of CP77 so likely not. It would have been kind of cool if the events of the show transpired while V was in the middle of recovering from a lead injection to the head though 😅.
V was in Atlanta
@@justflex6745 only Street Kid V was.
0:42 I just noticed that’s the rocket launching to the moon in the reflection. What a foreshadow
A pure masterpiece in the history of anime. This will never be forgotten. 👏
dont overreact like that
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 i'll make you overly calm
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 It's just his opinion? It might not be for you but it is for plenty of people. It's objectively good but it will be a masterpiece for some and just a good show for others
This show is a masterpiece.

Omg the foreshadowing at 0:47 is genius
ほんとだ
This deserved anime of the year.
totally! animation- and storywise
@@Uro_Boroscyberpunk phantom liberty deserved game of the year
@@Davidmartinez40320I think Baldurs Gate 3 will take that
It's been now over a month since finishing the show, and the pain is still real 😭
David's journey from a level 1 thug to a level 99 mafia boss was a wild ride.
they'll definitely doing corpo and nomad as a trilogy, this was Street kid route
i mean people he hanged out were all different backgrounds too but you could be right
The irony is that if not for the tragedy, we'd have Corpo David by the time of 2077 or 2078
David martinez is the reason my overly emotional self always drive safely so i don’t accidentally kill an npc in cyberpunk 2077. Every hobo, love doll, and pos addict is a regular person like david at some point. My imagination is too good and it rips my heart up
The 1st ep of Edgerunners introduced Night City so well. I started playing Cyberpunk right after watching Edgerunner and I can’t help but smile each time I go to the same places from the anime in game.
That's the scene when I fell in love with this anime. The vibes are just perfect.
ゲーム内に出てくる風景をTRIGGERは狂気的なレベルでアニメに落とし込んでる。エッジランナーズを見てゲームをプレイ出来る人が本当に羨ましい。出来る事なら自分の記憶にハッキングして、記憶を消してもう一度アニメを見てゲームをプレイしたい
Is it a stretch that at 1:15 the billboards at the background looks like it foreshadows David punching the bully? Or how he walks towards the left side like he's leaning towards becoming an edgerunner?
The environment and feeling are so expressive that you really like to pay attention to the details. I love it in the game too and it's so perfect in the anime. It gave to people the desire to play again.
one of the best scenes and moments I've seen from Cyberpunk Edgerunners!! 👏👏
And indeed, it is 😉👍!
So this is *one of the best scenes and moments* of the "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" anime right there...😏😎
As much as I would like to walk around this city, I would fear literally everything around me
Chicago, New York, LA... You got some IRL options.
@@Eric4bzdon’t forget Detroit
David for Night City is one of the most wonderful and sad to continue ♥️
I wish I could watch this anime all over again erasing past memories, it was really thrilling and Lucy`s intro was superb
For as colorful and poppy as Trigger made this world, it's actually so lore accurate. This world is extremely dark and you constantly learn worse things about it. It's like if humans in The Last Of Us coincidentally had a cyber-technological renaissance as shit hit the fan.
I hope Studio Trigger works more with CDPR for more animations. Would love to see more Cyberpunk stories, but knowing Trigger, this was most likely an one-shot series. This was there absolute best, since "Promare". And that movie was just eye-candy, but boy did it look smooth during action sequences. Studio Trigger does some great work!
Fingers crossed for a Witcher anime then
Welp. They said that "season 2" isn't impossible, but it's also not planned.
It's the "We will do it when we want"
I didn't know the music used in this scene was originally from the game. Crazy how it fits an anime perfectly.
Pretty much all the music used in this show is from the game. Never played it but the sound track is next level
doesnt matter if you watch edgerunners or play 2077, you'll always have the crossing's "wait, wait, wait, walk, walk, walk, walk" stuck in your head lol
I missed this David, Man. It's sad to see what he has become in the end.
Edgerunners broke my heart
Even though i expected the ending it still hit so hard and the songs also stuck in my head too 😭😭
People always say they expect the ending bcs they played the game. I never played it so I had hope. Even tho the foreshadowing is explicitly shown in the final moments of the opening credits in every episode, I still thought to myself "Nah they wouldn't go there." And then they did. I feel like it got me broken even worse than the people who did play the game.
@@erluq9309 same i never played the game so this was my exact thought process

Well played ya, Deven: Have you even tried to playing "Cyberpunk 2077" game 🎮 right after you have watching-up "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" anime on the Netflix right now...🤔😗?
I love the song that plays in the background perfectly captures what he will go through or atleast some of Davids own mindset
I decided to follow Davids route in-game, which was actually a lot of fun. Right when he leaves the megabuilding, it's just a straight walk to the station.
And then everything gets kind of strange.
The closest station to the city center and Arasaka tower would be the memorial park metro. We then see him going across a crosswalk which actually faces away from the center in the opposite direction.
The next under the overpass scene is on the opposite side of the street with the crosswalk which would make David turn back around towards the metro, or make a really big circle outside of the center (the second putting him walking in the right direction under that overpass.
When walking to Petrochem David is actually walking from the other side of the building away from Petrochem based on the location of that overpass he walked under. so at some point he walked away and then turned around and walked toward the building.
The next scene where he's looking up at the fish with the Militech building to his right, and the Arasaka building to his left, is once again walking away from the Petrochem building, meaning he did a 360 since the overpass (walking away, towards, away)
The next Stair scene should be a floor above, looking at the H buildings between the Petrochem building and the Militech Building.
He looks up to see Lucy on the left side of the staircase, (which is actually really close to that glass panel,
He then runs to the opposite side of the staircase to look out over the city and for her, as matched with the two spinning orange cars.
*After this video ends (Still on his way to school)*
He runs to the right of the circle, ending up on the east side
We see him standing on one of the elevated walkways at the top, looking at the Arasaka building, which means he either when back down and looped around to get on the correct Walkway, or he just keep running North and went up the walkway a little bit to look at the building.
As the scene skips to him at the Academy, He would have walked back east again (or if he looped around, continues to walk east) and continued down two levels, then took a left towards the building entrance.
It was fun tailing him even though a lot of the route is opposite of the correct direction, or looped around a bunch. I like figuring out which spot he was at and which direction he was moving.
try to recreate it?
ここのワクワク感えぐい
This scene really does tell you allot about what you need to know about night city without having it shoved in your face
This anime is extremely good. I loved it and want more. Really cool to see what they’re doing with the Night City stuff.
I'm so glad I already really liked Cyberpunk before Edgerunners
the game made me love the anime, the anime also made me like the game
@@pole8740 yeah dude same I already finished Cyberpunk 2077 then the anime came out and now im replaying the game again
Me to
Damn people out here trying so hard to be special
1,800 hours, and still going. Best game and Anime
I like to think that the world of cyberpunk is so advance that you can literally put playlists in your head.
Even more they have entire phones in thier head. U remember holocalls?
David in ep 1: lvl 1 crook
David in ep 7: lvl 100 mafia boss
David in ep 10: lvl 500 god
Then comes Adam Smasher lvl 1000 God Killer

He more girthy than drake
The scene was Soo cool with this music!! The city was pretty vibrant around David! I especially loved the part at 1:09 _"we hadn't seen each other! but. No worries. For my looove..."_ the silly track stops and just a cool sweet part in it!! The fish holograms reminded me of Blade Runner 2049 and Ghost in the Shell (2017) aesthetic and the way neon white hair of Lucy appeared was very attractive!!! She was the hot girl I was waiting to see and get with David and boy it was satisfying!!
This song bro. It’s so chill I actually play this song while playing the game so I can hear it all the time when I’m driving around the city. It’s really catchy
love these clips from the show so much , just good trigger respecting source material!!!
words can’t describe how much i love this scene even though it’s so simple
God I love edgerunners
Keep posting for stuff about it Netflix
"I love this city! Love it like a mother that squeezed you out in front of an orphanage and asked if you got a smoke for her!"
音楽もそのタイミングもかっけぇんだよな
もし興味があれば、この曲は「Rat Boy」というイギリスのパンクロックバンドによるもので、「Who Ready for Tomorrow」という曲です。
As being someone who just finished the show, I’ve never felt so many conflicting emotions within the span of a series.
It was always gonna end bad for David, even before the show came out there was a drink in game at the bar with "legend drinks" , David Martinez was one of them and the description always read, "go out with a bang" , its insane to me how that ended up becoming the premise of this amazing show.. i would of liked David to live but regardless he managed to become another Night city legend, i still think it was an incredible show.. im still salty about Becca tho 😢
It was added with the edgerunners patch. It wasn't in the game originally.
@@deathward4 nahh, it was in the game before, check for videos, and check the dates. Its crazy i know but its true, CDR playing 4d chess
@@deathward4 it was in the game long before the anime came
@@bolivianthunderluz7198 it was literally added in the 1.5 update, I dont know what to tell you. Load up an older version of the game like 1.2 or 1.3 if you don't believe me. There aren't any videos older 7 months that mention David Martinez.
@@bolivianthunderluz7198 There was no 4d chess, it's just that the production of the anime, i think, started around i yeah, before the release of Cyberpunk 2077
It would be cool if the Edgerunner series was kinda like an anthology where every season tells a different story of the characters behind each of the afterlife beverages.
SPOILER AHEAD:
(For any who don't know, the afterlife is a bar within the game Cyberpunk 2077 in which the drinks are named after legendary figures of Night City who died. If you go there in game, you can actually order the David Martinez drink with a little synopsis about the character.)
That’s so fucking sad man
David became such a cool but tragic EDGE RUNNER... Loved his story!!!
0:31 Cyberpunk Cowboy = awesome idea
