Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2

Synopsis
David Martinez got chewed up and spit out by Night City. If you watched the first season, you know how that ended. Edgerunners 2 doesn't try to undo any of that, instead it drops you in with a completely new character picking through the same neon-soaked wreckage, trying to carve out something worth remembering in a city that treats people like disposable parts. This time the story leans harder into redemption and revenge, following someone deep in Night City's underbelly who's making increasingly desperate choices just to matter. Studio Trigger is back doing what they do best: the animation is fluid, kinetic, and occasionally brutal in ways that catch you off guard. The gore tag is earned. And the soundtrack hits just as hard as the first season's, locking you into that gritty cyberpunk headspace from the opening minutes. The thing that makes this work, same as before, is that it's not really about the tech or the chrome. It's about what happens to people when identity becomes something you can buy, install, and lose. If you vibed with Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex or Psycho-Pass, that intersection of personal struggle and systemic decay, this is in the same lane. And if Akira's raw energy and visual ambition spoke to you, Trigger's animation style here scratches a similar itch. Ten episodes, same as the first season. It doesn't waste your time.

Guys they actually gave us a happy ending! I can't believe it🥹
Increíble
the ending so good man! i dint expect such ending. but i feel it wasnt enough to me like i want to see more of them!.
We are absolutely cooked!
Awesome 🎉
Relationship between weak and talia is getting better so its started to build the characters
Good episode talia being nice to roman and the pressure on roman to be there for d and talia is a good idea
Overall pretty good but the pacing was rather slow and the story didn't feel as well defined as the first one. Still a good watch tho.
Honestly so cool and artistic
The pacing of the story is a bit rush, but I like the movie concept. Would be better if they spent more time to focus on character developments
Finally starting s2 and i can say it looks crisp as ever. So far I like all of what it seems to be main characters of this season, but if I have to pick one it would be King. Also the char. designs are really neat.
D looks so much like Sasuke lol. He's also the sole survivor of a clan that was destroyed. Dude's straight up Sasuke in an alternate universe.
Nice art and animation. love the storytelling as well
Is good
Good animation as always, typical drop the ball style storytelling.
Quite a lot of things happening for a 30minute show, the separate characters are starting to weave into each other's story. No answer has been given yet but lot of back story being explored for now.
An emotional ending, the problem is, I’m not really all that attached towards the characters, especially the ones who deceased. The only one I cared about apparently got an off screen death, this indicates he MAY still be alive, even then no one around really cares about him or mourn about him aside from Roman and Omi. Anyways, the series throughout was entertaining, just that the ending felt weak. They really had to make it another sad ending being a predecessor to the 1st season and all. Hopefully when there’s a next season they’ll use these characters again. 7.5/10
It was alright just not as good without david
Interesting wider array of characters this time. Also, I like how the VHS aesthetic continued the callbacks to past cyberpunk (lower case) anime series and OVAs.
Art and animation is good but it's kinda lacking on explanation and lore on many things. It's good but still leaves alot of mystery to be answered
