Yeah at the end of the show it turns out that Night City is actually inside a virtual world and the protagonists have to fight and destroy god (i.e. the creator of the world) with a giant robot.

Cyberpunk, now with 1000% more Big O.

Anyone else catch the chick with the third boob at 0:03?

Anyway, this looks cool. Nice to see a monofilament whip in action. Also the shotgun at 0:29 reminds me of the Entertech Saturator I had as a kid.

I think the trailer looks cool. But then immidiately remembered something my Dad used to say when I was a kid. He was in advertising/commercials and spent a lot of time in LA. He was basically Don Draper.

"I've never seen a bad trailer"

Well, at least it's an actual anime and not a CG "anime".

Wow that's awful. Almost no movement whatsoever.

[CoryHolmes]

Wow, that's just... wow, I mean.  It's got some... colour, I guess?  I guess that's going for it?

 

Holy crap did that NOT sound or look anything like CP2077, or even anything remotely like the gameworld of the tabletop game

I lived through Space Angel so I can handle it, maybe.  The problem is it just doesn't look very good.

 

For those blessed few that have not seen Space Angel...

Pretty interesting.  I hope there's as much story as there is violence. I'll check it out ..

That's better.  I mean, it's got some more life to it... but why'd they have to sully my beloved Ode to Joy with this?  That song is NOT meant for a hyperviolent, hypersexualized cyberpunk dystopia future.

 

Just the opposite, in fact.

Which is one of the main reasons I think it is going to be crap.  When they are so far down the "shock" rabbit hole I don't have high hopes for it.  Worst example of this was AvP 2 where the facehuggers got into a maternity ward - EVERYONE involved in that needs to be fired for life.

Looks cool to me. I'll be watching it.

Same. For me, the trailer looks like it has a dash of cyberpunk, a dash of Trigger, and a dab of Devilman Crybaby.

[Test_Pilot_2]

Binged it yesterday. I thought it was absolutely awesome.

IMO not at all about shock imagery - just does a great job of highlighting the absurdity of a chromed world.

Well- this show ended up being a pleasant surprise.  A bit weird pacing at after the mid point following a time skip bit, extremely well done first half with an ost that is straight nova.

Just finished it. I thought it was ... good? Better than average, but I thought the animation was pretty pedestrian for this day and age. Not as amazing as I was expecting given the hype, but I may have been spoiled by Arcane.
