Studio Trigger's vibrant and violent Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is now streaming on Netflix, complete with an English dub and subtitles. The 10-episode original net animation (ONA) adapts the world of CD Projekt Red's hit video game, serving as a standalone prequel.
Set in Night City, the series follows David Martinez, a street kid trying to survive a dystopian future obsessed with technology and body modification. He becomes an edgerunner, a high-tech outlaw, in a bid to make a name for himself. Trigger's signature kinetic animation style and penchant for over-the-top action are on full display, matched by a killer soundtrack.
The series boasts a high 8.62 rating on MyAnimeList from over 700,000 voters, placing it among the platform's top-rated shows. Critics and audiences alike praised its visceral storytelling, compelling characters, and faithful expansion of the Cyberpunk universe, making it a standout entry in the genre.
While it's a prequel to the game, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners tells a complete story, making it a perfect binge for fans of high-octane sci-fi and gritty crime dramas. Its mature themes and graphic content are handled with a flair that has become synonymous with Studio Trigger's work.
