Synopsis

David Martinez is a broke kid from the slums, about to get chewed up and spit out by Night City. He's attending a fancy corporate academy because his mom works herself to the bone believing he'll climb the ladder at Arasaka, the megacorp that basically owns everything. Then everything falls apart, fast, and David ends up with military-grade cyberware jammed into his spine and zero reason to play by the rules anymore. He falls in with a crew of edgerunners, mercenaries who live hard and burn out harder, including Lucy, a netrunner with her own reasons to hate the corporate machine. This is a 10-episode ONA from Studio Trigger, and their animation style fits this world perfectly, kinetic, stylish, a little unhinged. The action sequences hit different when Trigger's doing them, all fluid motion and visual chaos. But what makes this stick with you isn't the fights, it's the weight underneath. The soundtrack, especially Rosa Walton's 'I Really Want to Stay at Your House,' does emotional damage you won't see coming. If you liked the atmosphere of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex or the raw energy of Akira, this lives in that same neighborhood. It's dark, it's action-packed, and it doesn't waste a single episode across its run. You don't need to have played Cyberpunk 2077 to get it, the story stands completely on its own. Just know going in that it earns those gore tags.

Studio Trigger and CD Projekt Red created an absolute masterpiece that leaves you completely shattered in the best way possible. The pacing is relentless, the neon-drenched world of Night City feels incredibly alive, and the relationship between David and Lucy anchors the entire chaotic story. The music—especially "I Want to Stay at Your House"—will stick with you long after the credits roll. It is a beautiful, tragic thrill ride that defines what modern anime can achieve.

Di episode ini, anggota Edgerunner yang tersisa mencoba menyelamatkan Lucy. Animasi dan visualnya sangat bagus dan unik. Penyutradaraannya juga sangat bagusUntuk ceritanya, aku tidak bisa banyak berkomentar tentang ending-nya. Secara pribadi, aku kurang menyukai tipe ending seperti ini, tetapi harus kuakui bahwa ending ini cocok untuk anime ini dan dieksekusi dengan sangat indah. Sayangnya, pacing episode ini sangat cepat sehingga karena menuntaskan beberapa plot cerita sehingga ceritanya terasa rushed.

Di episode ini, David dan Lucy masing-masing menghadapi dilema yang memengaruhi hubungan mereka. Dari segi cerita, episode ini masih terasa membosankan. Masalah David sudah ditease sejak awal cerita, jadi perkembangannya tidak terlalu mengejutkan. Sementara itu, aku masih tidak tahu apa yang sebenarnya dilakukan Lucy. Dramanya juga terasa berlebihan, tetapi visual dan penyutradaraannya sangat bagus. Overall, episode sebenarnya bagus dan penting untuk membangun konflik tetapi masih agak membosankan. .
