Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies Cyberpunk Edgerunners is an anime show worth investing your time and energy in. Because you’ll need both of those. As mentioned before, even though every episode is 25 minutes long, it takes a toll on your senses in the best way possible. Rated: 5/5 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Mark Serrels CNET Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a one-of-a-kind, standalone anime set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. A heart-wrenching story about the long-term impacts of violence and trauma. Mar 28, 2023 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse This however is just a minor issue in front of the visual and contextual extravaganza that “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” is, in another title from Trigger, that thankfully, seems to address mostly adults. Rated: 7.5 Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Elijah Gonzalez Paste Magazine While this crime caper may not break from the core issues of this franchise or cyberpunk more broadly, it manages to hit more than a few emotional highs and look very good in the process. Rated: 8.5/10 Oct 5, 2022 Full Review Korey Coleman Double Toasted Cyberpunk: Edgerunners does not sit still. Everything from the talking, the violence, the effects, and the music is pumped up to 15. Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Brittany Vincent Decider Its narrative is even more engaging than the original game in certain respects, with a protagonist it’s easy to get behind and root for.

Sylvia S. A baffling romance, a baffling falling in love, a baffling breakup. I can’t feel anywhere that the male lead truly loves the female lead. The plot is illogical, the world-building is chaotic, teammates die for no reason, character development is inconsistent, all the choices are inexplicable, even the mediators act strangely. The story feels like the most useless part of this entire narrative. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Gurbakshish S It hit me hard in all the right ways. The story and characters pulled me in so much that I’ve been spending way more time in Cyberpunk 2077 lately. Honestly, it made me care about the game’s world and story on a whole new level. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Rundyl B Perfect! Just Perfect. It's a piece of gold Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review Frank W. Literal tears from this show Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review ปุณณวิช ส This is the best anime I've ever seen! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Robin Alejandro C Cyberpunk Edgerunners an anime based on a video game. Cyberpunk Edgerunners a short anime that has it all. In a “Blade Runner”-type universe this incredible story unfolds led by David, it’s clear that you need the game’s context or rather some of the terms used throughout the anime so that the experience doesn’t feel cut off (nothing special). The animation is sufficient, while it’s not the most impressive I’ve seen, it does a excelent good job with futuristic settings, fast movements, and brutal scenes. The plot is the best thing this anime has done, the character development is impeccable in just 10 episodes, the setting is in a futuristic world where Tigger shows that in Night City things are the way they are, the studio has no fear in showing the story of a raw world as it is, unafraid to break the viewer. Watching this anime is a must, I love it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
