Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Episode 2 Reaction

Started watching the season today and I've watched both reactions now. Looking forward to seeing more!

don't worry girls, the next 2 episodes will answer most of your questions, and I can't wait

The point of the game and moreover this show is less about a specific goal or mission, but rather "what it takes to survive in Night City (the setting) and what it can cost"

I think the best way to describe this show is “A look into life in night city”

"They're not gonna kill him they're just gonna take the implant" The implant replaced his spine, people die without their spine Lola. lol

It's ok ladies, Vinland is over, killing is cool again.

I like how they speak with their minds. The system sometimes repeats words because that's how they think. It's imperfect Thought-to-Speech/Text.

So some more background. In this time, everything is basically run by mega corporations. One of the big corporations is Arasaka. Arasaka deals in corporate security, banking, and manufacturing. Arasaka-branded weapons and military vehicles are among the most sought after by police and security firms. The Arasaka Corporation maintains the largest and most powerful armed forces of any corporation in the world, with their guards renowned worldwide and feared by many. Most firms will look to licensing from Arasaka corporate security guards, couriers, or mercenaries to protect their assets. The other big megacorp that is Arasaka's rival is Militech. Both are super powerful and influential.

Spicy choice deciding to google character information at the start of a show. That's screwed me over a couple times for animes.

Regarding the end of the opening: “who is standing above? It’s like, capitalism?” - basically yes, is the embodiment of this corpo world: Night City And you were very on point about the cyberpsychosis, the more the implants the more on edge they put your mind, but David’s Sandy (Sandevistan, the thing on the spine) is military grade so even more riskier, more even if it is your first implant

The girl wanting to run away from this city was her honest feelings, it’s a glimpse into the way this world is, and the fact that she turned on David shows exactly how this world is, it’s the opposite of Vinland, everyone is your enemy😅

That song at the end hits me so hard...

Our boy got played

By the way, about the way the girl appears, that’s just a cinematic/fancy detail in the show for the audience, it’s not actually her appearing or teleporting out of no where or something like that. I think the creators were just trying to put emphasis on her character

Time to chrome the fuck up ;) I'm glad you went for the dub version, they've done an excellent job with the voice acting

Lola can I just say that you really suit having your hair in a ponytail or bun. Looking like a model

"I really want to stay at your house" one of the best ost I've ever heard

that thumbnail looks scary... had time to watch half of the first episode and it's not what i was expecting. still a good pilot. looking forward to watch the rest of the show and your reactions ❤️

Only 8 episodes left🥲🥲
