I wonder how consistent they'll keep the Ikarashi artstyle in the show. It's not an easy feat, only a handful of animators at Trigger draw like that (Ikarashi, obviously Kanno, maybe Akihiro Sato and Sho Oi). There's also the fact that it could turn off casuals used to cleaner drawings. Well at least the poster looks promising since it's almost incomprehensible, lol

Didn't think about that. The first show also did one.
I think it'd be nice if they did early night city this time around. Maybe we can see some Johnny era ware and shenanigans when things weren't so advanced yet.

I worry that the success of the last season let things get to their head, particularly when they saw how impactful the ending was for people. I don't want them making things as dark as possible for the sake of mere shock value

The first season only had a one year timeskip, I don't think CDPR wants to limit themselves while making Cyberpunk S2 by jumping around too far ahead in the timeline so Edgerunners will probably take place around somewhere in the 2070s with the 2079 as their farthest limit (since Phantom Liberty gave us a glimpse of that period).

This looks more promising than the first season. Imaishi wasn't a good fit for such a serious story, I expected Dead Leaves 2.0, an action packed gorefest and was left mildly disappointed. Ikarashi definitely seems more suited for a grimy psychological drama considering his past episodes.

No, he was the perfect fit, otherwise you'd be bitching how much 1) of torture porn the show was; 2) he ripped off other cyberpunk works, like GitS. His energy and preference for the cartoonish flair greatly improved the experience. The show needed some contrast to work well.

>>280261365
>>280261359
Being in charge of single episodes means nothing if he can't pace the whole show and direct it in a coherent manner.
If you want a good example of a recent direction disaster check >>280227560

I'm never in favour of newbies making their director debuts in original anime - it's asking for trouble. He should start with manga/LN adaptations first.

In a way you are right, only TS and gay guys get real representation nowadays or bisluts who always end with men, lesbians became passe cause many straight men following fiction fear them that they could steal their fictional gf and would not be interested in them reasoning as fiction goes.
It's even visible in western media and TV shows where this year only TS and gay men got characters in so many shows and lesbians got nothing.

Okay. It's also the director's role to do a bunch of other shit. You can call it a failure of direction if one part of a series is lacking (say for instance drawings or sound direction), but more sane people would call this "oversight", or "picking up your coworkers' slack", or "he's got enough on his plate conducting the damn orchestra which is why he hired someone who could be trusted to do his job well"

I was correcting you when you erroneously interpreted the other anon's comment about Tsurumaki's debut as a reference to Gunbuster - it was FLCL, although I won't comment on whether it's the all-time greatest or not. FLCL was his debut as a series director.
>ummm UMMMMMM MAL says its his first director credit you fucking worm!!!
Suck my cock you little bitch I don't come here to play semantics with kids that just popped out the womb. You should immediately know what people are talking about and recognize what is considered a "proper debut" versus learning the ropes as an episode director. For instance nobody refers to Medarot as Imaishi's directorial debut even though that was his first enshutsu credit.

In all seriousness though, what's stopping people from simply not interacting with garbage opinions?

Mike Pondsmith actually detailed a bit his deal with CDPR regarding ownership of the franchise on Reddit, basically Pondsmith has full control over the lore up to the 2050s while CDPR dictates everything in the 2070s and beyond, the 2060s is the "sweet spot" for collaborating between the two since it's a bridge period.
