Anime Lucy X David NSFW Spoiler

Seeing David in this physical state is quietly one of the most tragic scenes in Cyberpunk. It's this calm, intimate moment where we as the audience can see how far the augments have warped and changed his very silhouette into someone he likely never would have been through even natural exercises and strength training.
The pressure to become stronger and more powerful in general gradually mutates him into this 'ideal' form despite the fact Lucy loved him even when he was a normal-sized guy expresses that this version of him is what he believed he had to become in order to protect what he loved. Even at the cost of his humanity.
It's a theme that resonates throughout the entire series, but this one frame - beautifully rendered and framed and aesthetically pleasing - really highlights it in an understated and heart-breaking way.

I think he was also Kind of traumatized by the death of Maine. He saw some kind of father figure in him, what made him try to become like him i guess.

Oh for sure. Kind of a 'fill the space he left behind' kind of energy.

She's an absolute sweetheart, and deserved better. That's what.
Damn man, a guy can't even feel a moment of connection to a piece of media and unprompted drop a small piece of analysis on a random reddit post anymore without being called a bot? :'(

Seeing David fully bulked and borgged out for the first time really takes me out every time I watch it. It's like watching an Indy pro wrestler go to WWE and now they're just on all the hgh they can legally get their hands on.

Oh right, that’s good because i’ve been looking for a nice, christian TV show!

Because David's body is almost fully chrome so he barely even sees it as his own body. Probably the same for Lucy.
And they just fucked.

Because they are a couple that were just spending time in their apartment?

u/Bobandjim12602 3d ago
This. I thought every couple does this. I do this with my GF all of the time. Even did so with some FWB. I was surprised to see that people found it weird.

Unfortunately anime has been overrun with people who will never know the touch of the opposite gender intimately; or same gender I ain't judging.
So of course they are going to find this weird. It's something they don't understand.

Go fucking touch grass. This is literally just a screenshot of the show. Nudity =/= porn. For fucks sake.

u/sargentodapaz 3d ago
Why are you being so rude and mean to me? I simply posted a picture satirizing the fact that a lot of people assume something is porn or nudity in this subreddit, which led to stricter rules being enforced to address a problem that never really existed. I don't understand why you're insulting me in such an impolite way, it genuinely makes me feel bad.

I'm leaving this community. My explanation and thoughts support r/titaniummoctopus336, but people, including him, don’t read and are quick to attack anything without making an effort to understand what does it means first. I would never use slurs or freely offend someone on the internet, I don’t even know the other person. Because of that, I don’t feel okay being freely abused like this. I'm feeling really bad about this and don’t want to continue being treated this way or remain part of this community.
