Huh...
Why am I not skipping the intro of Edgerunners? Yeah, it's only 100s, but still. I would skip them in any other show.

@LukeAlmighty @LukeAlmighty I kind of want to watch edgerunners but I have a suspicion that it has a rather sad ending so I don't want to.

@sjw @LukeAlmighty not only is it sad, it's needlessly bleak (because that's the setting, apparently) and i felt like i kind of wasted my time watching it.

if you want some cyberpunky stuff to watch just go for blade runner or ghost in the shell or alita. it's more worth the time even rewatching any of those.

@sjw @LukeAlmighty actually i take back that it's sad because it's not really. i'm pretty quick to cry at sad stuff but i never cried watching edgerunners. it was mostly annoyance and a little bit of just feeling empty. it wasn't emotionally moving in a good way.

sit me down with any random naruto episode though and i'll probably be tearing up at some point xD

Bruh, that's weird, because I was at tears at the end of edgerunners. It was so incredibly painful to see David cross one line after another. And at some point, you got, that there is no saving him.

It was beautiful

@LukeAlmighty I was just thinking the whole time how unlikable and retarded of a character he was lol. Was not moved by it at all.

And Rebecca's death was stupid as hell. Like the writers were writing episode 10 going "fuck i forgot we only have 10 episodes and we haven't killed Rebecca yet, let's just get it over with." Her older brother's death was lame too, it had little to no impact and was completely unnecessary. I can't even remember the dude's name.

In fact the only names I remember are David, Lucy, and Rebecca, and I only know those last two because they're cute girls.

Well, yeah. People were dying during the entire run. They are mercenaries, so it is kinda part of the deal. :astolfoqt:

Anyway, thanks for sharing. You cannot out-debate someone to like a show anyway.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy one person opined that David's tragic flaw was always chasing after what he thought other people wanted him to do (first his mom, then the leader of the gang whose position David inherited) instead of what David himself wanted.
