Join David in His Journey to Survive
The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime is based on a popular video game franchise, Cyberpunk 2077 (based on the tabletop RPG created by Mike Pondsmith) depicting a dystopic future where technology and humanity have blended. The setting for the series, Night City, is a dangerous and unforgiving place flooded with crime, violence, and illegal substance abuse. The protagonist, David Martinez, used to be a model student at a prestigious academy until a tragedy took his family and future from him. With no other options left, he decides to become an edgerunner, mercenaries enhanced with technological weapons who sell their services to the best prospects.
The series is a crude but moving tale of friendship, survival, and love, as David does his best to survive in a world that abandoned him. Along with his comrades, like the energetic Rebecca or the enigmatic Lucy, the protagonist will discover the secrets that hide behind Night City’s black market. The show was beautifully animated by the iconic Studio Trigger, a popular company best known for its work on Kill la Kill and Little With Academia. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a series that any action anime fan will love, as proven by the large fanbase that it has gained since its release.
The Blu-ray release of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is great news for the anime community, as this iconic series will now be immortalized in physical form. It could be an amazing gift during this holiday season for fans of the dystopic future in which David and his friends fight for their lives.
David Martinez (Kenichiro Ohashi) is a streetwise kid living in the slums of Night City in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. To survive, David becomes an edgerunner, also known as cyberpunk, taking on mercenary jobs outside the system. Together with a group of new and veteran edgerunners, David will shoot for the moon to escape the underbelly of the increasingly cyber-obsessed city. Unfortunately, the law isn't the only group that the edgerunners will have to contend with, as other heavily cyber-augmented humans will pose an even more significant threat.
