Ready for another Absolute Cinema experience?

you're not going to get me to watch a netflix anime

you're just not

>>714539551 (OP)
its woke slop

That's nice.

I didn't watch the first one yet, why would I watch the second season before the first? This is such a ridiculous question to ask me
>DO YOU WANT TO EAT BUTTER, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVEN'T THE BREAD TO SPREAD IT ON???
This is how insane you sound by asking this question

>>714539551 (OP)
Are they actuallu getting Trigger again or was it the shitty DMC/Castlevania shop?

Oh so they're milking this shit some more despite every interesting character being dead huh?
Guess that means it has to be a prolonged from before Edgerunners so they can have Rebecca again.

>>714539551 (OP)
>reddit screenshot
kill yourself

>>714540671
Different set character
That or they will make V as MC

>>714540671
Why wouldn't it be a different cast of characters? The whole theme of the show is David and his crew were a dime a dozen suicidal bunch of nobodies who think they got big.

>>714540627
It's made by Trigger again

>>714539551 (OP)
there's nowhere to go for a season 2 first of all, it's a self contained story
secondly, it was only good because trigger saved it and forced their ideas on it, if that isn't the case it would be dogshit and anything will be dogshit

>>714540784
V as the MC would be funny because it would be the exact opposite of Edgerunners' plucky underdog gang. It'd be like if the show starred schizo Adam Smasher

>>714540784
>V as MC
>Cyber'd to the gills
>Pilled to the max
>Don't Fear The Reaper ending
Would be absolute kino.

>>714540695
I also post on Reddit and there's nothing you can do about it.

>>714539551 (OP)
I want it about v in cyberspace with alt.

>>714541815
>trigger saved it and forced their ideas on it
You're referring to Rebecca and literally nothing else.

>>714539551 (OP)
Why a screenshot from Reddit? That's just asking for trouble.

>>714539551 (OP)
I find Cyberpunk settings disturbing.
The idea of ripping apart your body and replacing it with machinery until you're nothing but a brain in a robot i find to be deeply unsettling. Also, it seems like some shit troons would like since they're so fucking ungrateful towards the body god gave them.

>>714539665
I didn’t see any such thing, lol. It was kino. The only good anime/game thing Netflix ever did.

>>714542832
I think it’s fun. Gonna get me a big chrome dick and some gorilla arms to beat it.

>season 2
>MC is V
>gets Rebecca's shotgun
>gets into a showdown with Adam Smasher
>breaks him into pieces and weakens him until he can't move
>aims it at his head
>"THIS IS FOR REBECCA, YOU BASTARD"
>kills Smasher with it instantly
would unironically be kino

>>714543134
That's not your dick though. You're a eunuch with a vibrator bolted to where your dick was.

Hecking fuckin based sir!!!!! holy shieeeeeeeeeeet!!! literally not videogames and i couldnt be more excited about this!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKK!!!!!

>>714543247

never post again.

>>714541815
It can just be an anthology series; Night City has plenty of stories to tell.

We fucking won

>>714543484
You will never be a woman

>>714539551 (OP)
If theres no becca dont bother.

I haven't seen the show but I thought that the story kinda just... ends? Like most of the important characters die and kinda ends in a bitter sweet note, no? That's the most I know, I didn't think it could have a season 2

>>714543779
Rebecca and David will be revealed to be in revival vats. Cloning technology will have become advanced and some obscure company will be doing a client revival project that involves a chrome-brained clone and transferring the consciousness of a dying subject into their hyper clone using highly advanced technology. Rebecca and David would be scrapped up from the ground and barely kept alive, then eventually cloned to rapidly grown to their current ages clones then transferred to their new bodies. Both would end up with complete cyberbrains. Incidentally, this would stop both of them from having cyber psychosis in the future because of their brains being replaced and new tech. The only problem then is that being revived isn't free and they have to fight their way out from being slaves and then become free and return to the underground cyberpunk scene.

>>714544575
All I care about is rebeccas back which means more becca art, I'm not actually going to watch the cartoon.

>Trigger made an anime so good it buckbroke people into thinking one of the worst games ever released was actually perfect and it only got even more perfecter with updates
I love Trigger but man it bothers me their success helps CDPR

>>714544876
>autistic retard with tertiary knowledge making shit up to get mad over
classic

>>714544315
I would assume the story would just be about different characters in Night City.

Why tho. It was a perfectly complete story.

>>714545369
money

the end of edgerunners left me in utter despair for a full day
it doesn't need a season 2

It's okay to just let things be done

>>714545369
its a separate story

>>714539551 (OP)
The first was extremely mid and didn't need a sequel. Won't be boughtening

Anthologies never beat the first entry.

>>714539665
Sort of. I hated how he disrespected his mom's sacrafices wage slaving and give it all to some random whore who took his v-card.
That's Squid Game 3 levels of cuckery

>Amazon
Enough said

>>714540459
It's good until this which destroyed the main guys character >>714545860

He literally loves some random whore over his own mother

It blows my mind people see a subject line like this and assume the old characters will be back. Literally how does your brain work to think that's in the cards. At best there will be a David cameo as a digital Mikoshi slave being tortured for all eternity.

>>714539551 (OP)
> Absolute Cinema

Go back

>>714540671
I stopped watching the moment they killed her, I just know everybody dies except Lucy.

they better fucking release Meshi S2 first otherwise we will have a kyoani part 2

The funniest option is that its a new cast of characters and the ending is identical, Adam smasher just killing them all.

>>714539551 (OP)
Irredeemable miserywank garbage for edgy teens. Pass.

>>714540836
I hate trigger ever since they gave the bird lady in dungeon meshi socks.

>>714539551 (OP)
i couldn't feel how felt like this was the most amazing thing ever, sad sure but writings on the wall from the jump. they do bad shit, get picked off one by one, i couldnt really feel for em, and i dont care for some girl who shows up and cast a hex on mc who just follows her around like a puppy. please just make me understand why this is praised as a masterpiece

>>714547972
Simple, normies are fucking stupid.

>>714547972
It's a cathartic, greek-style tragedy in a medium where effortless power fantasies are the norm. For most people it was their first experience with something like that.

It's also good at show-not-tell characterization and story telling too. David's nervous ticks are part of what depicts him as a restless teen cooped up in an environment he doesn't belong. They also go away after he starts Edgerunning, but that's something you have to notice, because there isn't a narrator who calls your attention to it. Lots of the emotional development of characters is communicated this way.

>>714545860
>>714545959
Still don't even understand why he likes her, He should have taken the cute blue shorty and ran away to have 10 kids on the moon with her.

>>714549084
Because Lucy is hotter
Simple as

>>714548929
>David's nervous ticks
I don't remember that.

>>714549202
not true

>>714549348
Prior to Gloria dying he's always tapping his feet whenever he's still, like he's got too much energy and nowhere to put it. They go away after he joins Maine's crew.

>>714539551 (OP)
hope the pacing isn't trash 1st season was great but everything happened too fast

>>714548929
i get the story structure being many peoples first experience

its a real sob story from start to end. I really can see if this is your first time seeing a story like this it would leave an impact. David seems to hold the whole sob story together, as he just keeps seeing sad crap all the time. then i thought about how much if he wasnt there the story would still play out the same. gang does gang shit, gang dies, the end lol. his mom passes, world a shit, bullies, drugs. i think its davids constant choice making that bothers me.

>>714542832
It actually doesnt bother me at all because the brain is the part that is truly me

>>714550142
That's a tick? I though it was something like randomly jerking your head, tapping your feet sounds more like what an anxious person would do.

>>714542832
It's supposed to be disturbing

not a video game

>>714550441
Definitely. I'm not a fan of misery porn either. Though there is the "sweet" part of bittersweet too. David never surrenders to the system and he keeps it together enough to save Lucy and make her lifelong dream come true. He could have just as easily gone like Maine and killed her in his madness, or just blown his own brains out the moment he realized it was over for him. He didn't conquer the world, but the world didn't conquer him either.

More broadly all organizations, corporations and gangs in-universe are completely corrupt as window dressing for stories about the resilience and defiance of individuals. That's the "punk" aspect of the genre. Willful, individualistic defiance even in the face of a completely corrupt society and overwhelming odds. It's like a whole universe custom built to act out the motifs and spirit of the punk rock movement.

I wish they did some sorta Edgerunners DLC where you play a scenarios from a braindance from David or Maine's crew. I do like that they included Edgerunners in some way.

>>714539551 (OP)
It will be woke.

>>714539551 (OP)
I thought they all died at the end except for whats her face hanging out on the moon

>>714541915
>It'd be like if the show starred schizo Adam Smasher
That would be the best show ever made. just AS going ham. Make it about his life.

>>714543247
Idiot.
Canon V has absolute no idea about Rebecca. If he finds her shotgun V will just see it as unusual fancy colored shotgun with more kick.

Maybe during final showdown if V used that shotgun smasher would mention that that shotgun was owned by "That brat he crushed into bloody pulp"

>>714543247
I wanted Smasher to turn my V into a piece of fuckable meat.

If it helps, just know that it's completely unrealistic and could never ever happen. Iron and clay.

What the fuck happened?

>>714554015
There's cyberware for that sort of thing.

>>714545860
I think that's the theme of the entire anime. People go out of their way to sacrifice themselves either for people who don't care about them or to give them something they don't fucking need:
>David's mother does dangerous side gig to enroll David's in Arakasaka's school despite the fact that he despises the place and obviously doesn't fit there.
>The fixer betrays everyone for Arasaka, Arasaka couldn't give less shit bout him
>Rebecca dies trying to protect David. Not only he doesn't care about her affection at all, but it also does nothing.
>David goes out of his way to gather funds to send Lucy into space, but since he's not there to go with her there is hardly any point to the trip.

One of the new cast members is like 50 years old

>>714556927
I guess the main guy making edgerunners too told everyone "Daves dead" when asked if hes making a comeback. Good news, I figured their story wrapped up nicely. If they can keep the writing good then they should keep releasing seasons based on different people doing different things. Im sick of overarching storys about chosen ones destined to balance the force or whatever. It was refreshing to see the "good guys" lose...except that moon bitch, I guess everything worked out just fine for her.

Can't wait for the background news report about a notorious fugitive hacker found dead on the moon due to self-inflicted gunshot wound.

>>714557285
Honestly, that’s what made Edgerunners hit so hard. No chosen one arc, no redemption nonsense, just raw, messy, personal stakes. David wasn’t The One™ - he was just a kid trying to do right by his mom and Lucy, and it chewed him up like everyone else. That’s the charm of Night City. It doesn’t care who you are, you either burn bright or fizzle out trying.

Half-expecting next season to focus on some random ripperdoc or maybe a chrome junkie running scams in Kabuki. Just let the world breathe, let the characters be tragic nobodies again. Moon girl can stay up there and keep hallucinating about David in peace.

>>714557623
They've said that more Edgerunners would focus on other people in the city, not just following the same people.

Nobody wants a Becca prequel, we wanna see some Nomad gonks get chrome'd up and deltad by Smasher.

If they make another sub 90IQ mc i will drop this shit

>>714556927
Fucking kek

>>714557623
100%, really well said.

>>714555597
Disgusting, your view of her is tainted by freaks that latched onto her.

They need to keep on top of their A-game when it comes to their musical selection. Edgerunners would've been tepid trash without the music.

>Ain't no more running for me, Dog.

They already said they are doing new characters in the cities. Why are you retards arguing about the continuation of the first season?
