I'm surprised no one has made a topic yet.
10 episodes, on Netflix, set in the same world as the Cyberpunk 2077 videogame.
It's truly great, and despite feeling so Imaishi it's at the same time very different from everything he's done before.

I had some trepidation going into this since I had pretty mixed feelings on 2077, but Trigger pulled through and made something really quite good IMO.

Gonna reserve some time this weekend to watch it. The game is shrouded in controversy and Keanu Reeves memes, but this will give it more life.
EDIT: I have now watched it and think it is pretty great. I was a bit worried halfway through when the direction of the story made a big turn, but I think it wrapped up pretty well and had some distinct points. The only thing that would be better would be if there was a sequel, although it could exist perfectly as a stand-alone.

This was a fantastic show and really helped to rehabilitate the Cyberpunk IP. I'll never look at the moon the same way again.

I am convinced that the cyberpunk universe is great to tell a a lot of stories. I hope we get more anime about it in the future
