Image: Toei AnimationOne Piece’s theatrical movies have generally been fine. Well, they used to be terrible until creator Eiichiro Oda started getting more hands-on with them, but generally they all ended in the same way—Monkey D. Luffy and his crewmates, and maybe a few more popular characters, teaming up to fight some new, ultra-powerful, non-canonical foe. But Red is different in almost every way, and for the better. It fills out Luffy’s backstory by introducing Uta, the daughter of One Piece’s most enigmatic…

Because y’all love IPs and Content In a quarterly earnings call held yesterday, Polish studio CD Projekt RED noted that it would be looking into more opportunities “in the transmedia space” following the smash success of Netflix anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners — an animated adaptation of the developer’s hi-tech RPG Cyberpunk 2077. While CDPR has already noted that it does not have plans to produce a second season of the flashy ‘n’ savvy series, the studio has been made very aware of the lucrative and creative…

Thanks to Studio Trigger’s exemplary Cyberpunk: Edgerunners series on Netflix, both Cyberpunk and CD Projekt Red itself have regained favor with their scorned fan base. After multiple patches that have improved the game and a more forgiving audience, people seem ready to move beyond 2077‘s catastrophic launch. If nothing else, the audience appears receptive to the anime as well as new Cyberpunk games.So, perhaps it’s time to expand the universe to the silver screen. After all, Cyberpunk has always existed as a…

Logged out While CD Projekt RED’s sci-fi epic Cyberpunk 2077 had something of an inauspicious launch, (to put it lightly), the same cannot be said for its animated spin-off Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which launched to immediate praise from critics and audiences upon its release to streaming service Netflix. However, despite the fans’ instant love for its dazzling Day-Glo visuals, nihilistic aesthetic, and manic breakout star, Rebecca, it seems that further adventures of David Martinez and his anarchic army are unlikely.  In…

Get some new style and crank the tunes It’s no secret that a lot of people are logging back into Cyberpunk 2077 right now, thanks to Edgerunners. And for those who maybe want a little more of that series in their game, there are already some solid Cyberpunk: Edgerunners mods for 2077. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners debuted on Netflix a few weeks ago, and the Studio Trigger anime is absolutely stellar. And it, alongside several big patches, is likely the reason behind 2077‘s sudden spike in player count. Whether you’ll find more…

Cyberpunk 2077's player base has surged in the wake of the game's Edgerunners update and the release of the Netflix anime.

Studio Trigger and CD Projekt Red’s collaboration is a brilliant fresh lens into Cyberpunk Legacies are not forged in the way a merc lives in Night City, but how they die. This idea permeates through both the game Cyberpunk 2077, and the newly released Netflix anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.  The runners don’t lead a corpo life. They don’t get Platinum insurance with the Trauma Team. They’re not trying to secure their soul. Everyone is running from, or towards, something. And everyone runs until they can’t anymore. It’s…

Screenshot: NetflixThis might be a weird thing to say about a show where people repeatedly explode into splotches of red and crumpled piles of viscera and cybernetics, but for such a violent show, Edgerunners is surprisingly tasteful in its approach to hyperviolence. Despite its repeated presence in the series, whether it’s the deaths of swaths of background characters or for the deaths of, by the end of the show, almost the entirety of the main cast, violence in the series never feels like it’s taken too far for the sake…
