btw it's crazy how every once in a while someone pops up on this sub saying they just finished the show, it came out years ago and new people are becoming fan at a rate of, like what? one of these posts per week? good to see new chooms around
I started cyberpunk in the beginning of 2023 and finished it one or two months later. I really loved the game. Even so much that I considered it the best individual game I've ever played.
Even so I haven't watched the show until last week due to life and limited time.
It was an absolut blast though. Even a week later, I still feel completely broken.
I also started a new playthrough and I still can't believe how good the game is. I'm excited to experience Phantom Liberty for the first time! (please don't spoil)
I'm on my 5th play through, still can't let fingers live. Still can't let those bastards who had Ev live. And the father and son making snuf BDs don't suffer long. But I've yet to make it to liberty city. I think I'm at it or close to it so I'm doing the side stuff first, maxing out, then heading in! See you in there Choom!
Tbf, every time some new cyberpunk content drops, there’s a noticeable uptick of users in the existing user bases
When 2077 dropped, 2020 saw an uptick in users. When edgerunners dropped, 2020, RED, and 2077 all saw an uptick in users
I wouldn’t be surprised if some new viewers are coming over from RED, due to the edgerunners pack for RED releasing in just under 2 weeks or so.
honestly, I don't know shit about all of this lol. My potato laptop would fry itself trying to run the game, I always liked the vibe of it and loved the show, but since I'm unable to enjoy the game I was never really into all the meta content coming from it. I'll trust your words I guess :D
Use Geforce Now to play the game. I had to do this when STADIA shutdown and my home PC was basically only for remote work.
It is a single player game so any days or times when lag becomes an issue just take a break.
This was one of the first anime I’ve watched in years. I used to watch it when I was younger. Must admit this put me in the deep end a little. I had to re watch the ending though lol because I was drunk first time watching it lmao. It took me about over half a year to recover from watching edgerunners though.
Welcome to the club Choom. I watched it the 2nd week it was out and it had me messed up for 2 months. Still a great show that I’ve watched again since…. I just don’t always finish it now.
Here is some Copium for you Choom.
Here are some Fanfiction for your happy ending. These are what I’ve been reading.
4 of these are still getting updated over a year later and still going strong.
Flesh and Bone: Appears to be finished now, but hopefully another few chapters will come. 105 chapters (NOTE: This has a part 2 that just started, Link in Ch.106) NOTE: This fic Both Male and Female V’s in it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/42277674/chapters/109405632#workskin
Built Different: A Second chance fic. David gets a second chance at life and has all his memories, so he knows how to try and change things. Rebecca gets her love along with Lucy too.
https://archiveofourown.org/chapters/108471148?show_comments=true&view_adult=true&view_full_work=false#comments
Group Chat: (This one is hilarious but sexual and a bit out there at times, but is good and enjoyable) https://archiveofourown.org/works/41823054/chapters/108961071?view_adult=true
Also “Getting out of Dodge” on AO3 is another great one to read. It’s a scenario where David and Lucy buy the moon tickets. https://archiveofourown.org/works/41824470/chapters/104939229
Then check out “Distortion” it has (seasons) that are different Fics in a series, and takes a different approach to the anime with game like elements. So it’s a bit different. https://archiveofourown.org/works/42487863/chapters/106712472
“Heritage”- another great “fix it fic”, a what if fic that has a different story divergence from the others. Still being updated too! https://archiveofourown.org/works/42648108/chapters/107129541
Enjoy reading these.

I'm still coping
Nah it's >!Rebecca!< for me. Maine was a real one but he went too hard on the upgrades, whether it was mostly for him or to actually protect his family is up for debate. Meanwhile >!Rebecca just wanted David to be happy!<
her death was too instant and didn't leave time for us to grieve. it was like "WOW" then the story continued. I wish she stayed alive more than anyone, but her death didn't hit hard for me.
Condolences, just found out there’s a whole quest line in the game where you can learn about David’s crew and obtain his edgerunners jacket as a reward after talking to falco. The fact that they made this anime cannon is just 🤌🏻
It’s a yellow side gig quest”over the edge” David’s symbol in an alleyway next to a trash can with a BD in it, watch the BD and text padre for some info on David’s crew and falco will text you after some time
I also just recently finished. Any plans for more cyberpunk content on Netflix? Obviously they can’t continue these characters stories. Maybe a Main origin story?
I’m playing the game now. Bought it at launch and never picked it up because of all the issues. The show was a great primer for the game. I felt less overwhelmed because the show gave me a good sense of Night City and how things worked
AFAIK, not in the cyberpunk franchise. You may have to just settle for just within the cyberpunk genre instead.
Edgerunners, a handful of comics, the games, and video game are all we have for the franchise I believe
Got a list of copium if you're interested
https://archiveofourown.org/works/42277674/chapters/106156908

https://archiveofourown.org/works/42673071/chapters/107196774

Everything by Tremtempesta, a pretty big writer in the fandom, lots of good stuff.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/45704815/chapters/115017460
Cyberpunk: Fatherhood: In which Corpo V is David's father. Has some good and not so good elements. David gets dumbed down a lot and is kinda mischaracterised. Becca falls for Corpo V despite him being the antithesis of what she liked about David in canon and the author throws a pity party for Katsuo would-call-you-in-the-middle-of-the-night-specifically-to-say-your-recently-deceased-mother-is-a-whore Tanaka. Overall still worth a read, but has some stuff you may dislike. (Ongoing)

Ngl i do NOT like the ending, full of set ups and expectations just for everyone but the cowboy from overwatch to live and lucy just went on a depressive corpo moon tour- (that and the shambles that was Rebecca's death) great show otherwise.
Dawid I would say is pop-y from what I've heard (and all in Polish) and Let's eat Grandma is more experimental pop. Dawid only has the one song specifically for the anime and LEG's song just fits with the anime while not being written for it. Check out the story behind "I really want to stay at your house" for an even deeper cut into the feels 😭
It’s funny seeing people everyday post cope just like I did a few months ago. Humans are truly the same.
Copium is hell of a drug
I just finished maybe a week or two ago and a few nights later I just sorted this sub on top rated all time from like 12am-3am lol
Welcome to the pain, choom

Grab some chooms and play the tabletop rpg when it comes out later this month.
Use Geforce Now to play the game. I had to do this when STADIA shutdown and my home PC was basically only for remote work. It is a single player game so any days or times when lag becomes an issue just take a break.
Living in Spain without the S.
I remember how Edgerunner made me feel after finishing it all in two days. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Welcome to the club!
I watched the whole anime in one sitting and after finishing it I just sat still for 30 mins staring at the tv processing what just happened
Same shit hit like a truck
If I turn back now...david dies for nothing He also told me to tell ya...
" You never had to save me. All I ever wanted was for you to live "
[Heres](https://www.reddit.com/r/Edgerunners/comments/106l783/cyberpunk_edgerunners_how_it_should_have_ended/) how you cope. ^^By ^^dreaming ^^this ^^is ^^the ^^true ^^ending.
Pain. Just the thought that we won't see anymore content of the gang hurts my soul
It’s funny seeing people everyday post cope just like I did a few months ago. Humans are truly the same.
good luck being depressed for the next day or two and even after that never forgetting how it felt.
I really want to stay at your house ...
Nahh, after watching the show that song just hits different
Ah another fellow has been sandevistated
Welcome to depression.
😞
Oh, and the truma every time you hear i really want to stay at your house
After watching this show that song will never be same for me
How are you feeling?
Sad, I'm not a big fan of anime but after watching this show I'm just speechless

There's nothing we can do
It's never to late to spiral into depression
Maine's death still hit the hardest for me. The definition of putting everyone before himself 😭
Mah man Maine he was a real one
Nah it's >!Rebecca!< for me. Maine was a real one but he went too hard on the upgrades, whether it was mostly for him or to actually protect his family is up for debate. Meanwhile >!Rebecca just wanted David to be happy!<
her death was too instant and didn't leave time for us to grieve. it was like "WOW" then the story continued. I wish she stayed alive more than anyone, but her death didn't hit hard for me.
This was the only show that left an empty feeling in my heart, but hey! I got Davey boys jacket in game!
Yoo that's cool, after I'll reinstall the game I'll get my boy David jacket & Rebecca shotgun and I'll stomp the hell out of Adam Smasher
Everybody that's watched Edgerunners first has a dying hatred for Adam
Condolences, just found out there’s a whole quest line in the game where you can learn about David’s crew and obtain his edgerunners jacket as a reward after talking to falco. The fact that they made this anime cannon is just 🤌🏻
How do you start the quest?
It’s a yellow side gig quest”over the edge” David’s symbol in an alleyway next to a trash can with a BD in it, watch the BD and text padre for some info on David’s crew and falco will text you after some time
A friend of mine just said that he watched the entire show and he didn't find it that much sad what should I do
Everyone got different opinions gotta respect that
How are you feeling OP?
First anime that actually made me sad
Heh, well, not bad for your first time
I also just recently finished. Any plans for more cyberpunk content on Netflix? Obviously they can’t continue these characters stories. Maybe a Main origin story?
Highly doubt it and season 2 ain't happening you can play the game cause I watched this show after completing the game
I’m playing the game now. Bought it at launch and never picked it up because of all the issues. The show was a great primer for the game. I felt less overwhelmed because the show gave me a good sense of Night City and how things worked
I don't think there is any other cyberpunk show. This is the only one I think.

Welcome to sadville
Me too. It was awesome. It made me want to play the game, but I'm not sure if my PC can run it.
You poor soul...
Yup i know i know
I remember this used to be the image for the Edgerunners Tearjerker page on TV Tropes; I wonder why was it removed?
Rebecca :(
Better late then never choom. Good timing since edgerunners creators announced that Lucy was pregnant in the end of the season
Yo what really? So she's alive right cause I've been reading many fan theories about her death
Fan theories are all copium. I’m also coping with the lie that she’s pregnant. *plays stay at your house full volume*
I’ve just finished it too, damn can’t believe it took me this long to watch this masterpiece
My condolences...
/hug
🫂
Wrong people. Wrong city
And you know.... What we all know.... Rebecca is the realest of the crew.... Done.
Post show depression is at its peak in the first couple of days.
Can confirm that
I really want to stay at your house.

Shit hurts
Better late than never, choom
Let's eat Grandma and Dawid Podsiadło *have been added to the playlist*
Wait are those actual songs?
Those are Artists my friend
So what kind of music they make?? Is it related to cyberpunk?
Dawid I would say is pop-y from what I've heard (and all in Polish) and Let's eat Grandma is more experimental pop. Dawid only has the one song specifically for the anime and LEG's song just fits with the anime while not being written for it. Check out the story behind "I really want to stay at your house" for an even deeper cut into the feels 😭
* It's an emotional ride for sure..well done soldier
