A very strong series with lovely detailed backgrounds, excellent music and a good old cyberpunk plot full of double crosses and hopeless battles. The characters were such self-destructive goons, without actually being idiots, that their deaths were quite satisfying. All the delicious inevitability of Greek tragedy, well adapted for a setting of urban malaise and corruption, as well as appropriately criticised toxic machoism. Showing once again that Goblin Slayer is toxic trash, truly foolish cyberpunks/adventurers like the tripwire fellow wouldn't realistically often get on a team. Even if realism were the point of cyberpunk or fantasy, rather than heroes slaying dragons or flawed heroes striving to. The ending could have done with a few less ridiculous Blues Brothers pile-ups, but no one could accuse the final conclusion of excessive levity.
