Tabletop players of the 80s/90s didnt dare to dream of that. Because yes, it must be repeated that Cyberpunk RPG was originally a tabletop RPG by Mike Pondsmith. Of course, it have been overshadowed a bit by the more exotic Shadowrun. But the point is that, none of those who played Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, Vampire, Mutant Chronicles or Warhammer 40000 (to name a few) would have dared to see their favorite universe in anime.

If they decide to set the anime in Japan in the official summary it mentions they have their own poblems to deal with including Asia, Europe, and other parts in the world. The game could show what happened in other countries during the war.

Coming September 2022.

That's so Trigger it's almost self-parody. Needs more explosions though.

Oh boy, one of those Western companies is using Japanese resources to make anime the Japanese won't watch again

*goes into thread*
Oh great! They are wasting Trigger too! Brilliant! Why couldn't they have hired Samidare's NAZ instead

I mean, it definitely looks like Trigger is making the most out of the concept .

Netflix aside, the fact that their vast resources can afford a studio to crank out a whole season's worth of anime has made me wonder if Netflix is actually a more reliable production partner for anime studios over production committees, especially if you're not beholden to having to secure broadcast slots from terrestrial networks that more often than not forces studios to adhere to strict deadlines that just as often turn into disasters when delays inevitably occur either from inadequate management or other extenuating reasons, like what'd happened to scores of projects over the years, like what's happening to Isekai Uncle right now, for instance.

So looks like Trigger did it again.

I watched the first three, and really liked it so far.

I’m 5 or 6 in. Very good, so far. Probably won’t beat Kill la Kill as my favorite, but it’s a very strong showing. Best portrayal of Cyberpunk 2077. Better than the game, I think!

[Nachtwandler]

I watched two episodes for now. The plot is pretty straightforward but all other parts are good.
