New Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Trailer May Have Liquified My Eyeballs

When the primary full trailer for Netflix’s anime collection Cyberpunk: Edgerunners arrived at the start of the month, my colleague Linda Codega bemoaned how little the plot was revealed within the trailer. And but, this new and NSFW trailer for the collection, primarily based on the world of the Cyberpunk 2077 online game, manages to disclose even much less concerning the present apart from it is going to be gorgeously animated and extraordinarily violent.

So, talking of that plot, right here’s the one description Netflix has supplied: “The series tells a standalone, 10-episode story about a street kid trying to survive in Night City—a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he stays alive by becoming an edgerunner—a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk.” So now the anime’s title is principally… Cyberpunk: Cyberpunks.

Ironically, even though I’ve had 5 physique modifications made on my eyes, they had been unable to face as much as the flashing lights and colours of the trailer. (Although admittedly not one of the surgical procedures had been what medical science would name “cyberpunk.” But a number of lasers had been concerned!) But what I may make out is Studio Trigger’s historically beautiful and badass animation, as beforehand seen in Kill La Kill, Promare, and that extra-rad chapter of Star Wars: Visions. I think about Cyberpunk: Edgerunners may look even radder. In truth, I’ll in all probability solely be capable of think about it, if I wish to preserve my eyes in my head.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners debuts September 13 on Netflix.
