Recommendations: Cyberpunk Edgerunners

After Castlevania, The Witcher, and Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners is the next prime example in an adaptation done properly. Studio Trigger brought their A-Game in this show's remarkable presentation, the animation, colors, character design, and backgrounds are all top notch, along with their editing and direction.

Meanwhile the story is compeltely in-keeping with the excellent writing and storylines found in 2077 and it's expanded material like the comics.

More than any other adaptation I've seen though is complete respect and integration with the game it's based on. You'll see the exact same rooms, UI elements, and sound-effects. It both works on its own, and helps create this illusion of Night City being a real, tangible place.

I saw quite a few people skip Arcane purely because of its connenction to league, it was a mistake with that show, and to skip Edgerunners would be a mistake too.
