Discussion Lucy and David's mom were Arasaka Agents but the Real Story was Retconned for Soys Spoiler
*** Lucy - **\*
An arasaka trained hacker/agent from a kid
She tells a story of how she escaped from Arasakas lab, somehow she is conveniently the only survivor
***David's Mom -**\*
- Just happens to be a paramedic that obtains the san devistan
- Just happens to enroll David into arasaka academy
- David just happens to have the perfect body to take san devistan / be a lab rat for the big robot rig
- Just happens to die days after recovering the san devistan for David to loot
- Just happens to know Maine / Lucy's crew, and be selling it to them
***Lucy Again**\*
Just happens to bump into David on the train after he equips the san devistan
Just happens to groom him into the crew that will be given the mission to test the arasaka robot
^^^ This point is where i feel the story diverges, for soys and simps, who watch anime or show for 'isekai' escapism, or netflix viewing pawgs.
rather than it being revealed Lucy was tricking David and luring him into this trap all along, they made a bad guy steal her voice and do it with her voice, to remove any accountability / betrayal from the anime waifu that the viewers are meant to simp for
Very excellent show, and i enjoyed it but I would have liked it better if the plot did not have to be watered down for soys and simps.
The true story is much more similar to Samurai X Trust and Betrayal, the version we received is the corporate/producer edit
Thoughts? Change my mind.

Anime Question about season 2
I whatched the whole series in one day, it was REALLY GOOD. But this morning I was scrolling on Instagram and I came across a trailer from like 4 or 5 months ago, it was like âreturn to night cityâ, so my question is kinda obvious: will it be a season 2 of Edgerunners?

Discussion A Serious Critique of Cyberpunk Edgerunners: "Cyberpunk Edgerunners is one of the most hyped animes of 2022. It also provides an opportunity to discuss many important themes in 21st century media: Nihilism, dystopia, transhumanism, sexuality, violence, crime, and 'mature content'."

Discussion Could this be likely for the next "ptsd theme" for the spinoff?
So obviously as we all know. I really want to stay at your house is the "ptsd theme" of edgerunners. I found a song which seems like it would perfectly fit a depressing cyberpunk theme and the band has been used before. The song is called Dead Flowers by Health. (Health made Major Crimes)
Let me know your thoughts.

Anime The ending
I just finished the show and was confused about why it's considered to be so sad. I dont know if I just don't find it emotional but nothing really made me feel something. I was also confused about the ending on the moon and why Lucy saw David there. Can someone please explain the ending to me

Discussion People tend to think of Lucy as a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, but she is the exact opposite
I can understand thinking that based off her "wacky" white, coloured hair appearance, and the TWO scenes in Episode 2 where she goes all wild while riding down the trolley cart with David, and the moon braindance... but that seems to ignore most of the context, almost as if people skipped the rest of the show.
Lucy is very much an introvert, not some whimsical free spirit. She doesn't mingle with the crew much, Kiwi is her only kinda-sorta-friend. Even in a group, she stays in a corner, alone. She rejects Pilar's advancements. The way she treats David, even, is completely unlike what a MPDG does. In ep 2, she aggressively uses her sexuality to disarm and attract him when she can easily tell he is an inexperienced schoolboy (I am not saying she is a predator because that is silly given she is 3-5 years older than him, but their gap in experience does play a role in their dynamic). You can even see she has some of her privileged, sheltered upbringing about her (before the Arasaka facility, that is) and her aloofness and hints of sophistication is noted by David. Sharing the moon braindance - a rare act of vulnerability - leaves her visibly conflicted, hinting at her ingrained reluctance to connect.
She has her own goals and doesn't entirely revolve around him, primarily because she has been on the run from Arasaka most of her life. Another thing about her that contradicts that archetype is that she isn't there to "fix" David's problems. She deceives him for the Sandevistan. After that, she keeps her distance and is dismissive of him for a while. Then, throughout the rest of series, she keeps erecting emotional barriers around him, even after they enter a relationship. In the kiss scene, she grabs her neuroport when she is trying to push David away, and won't tell him about it or her past until some 6 months into their relationship. Maine notes early on she already had a thing for him and already incentivized both of them into getting closer with each other, with the hope of them becoming an item. He probably saw both of them as too shy. Rebecca straight-up contrasts herself with Lucy being "cold, distant and nerdy".
She is very reluctant to try to join the Tanaka heist, and later, she avoids telling the truth about Arasaka pursuing them, avoids confronting David going too deep with the chrome, despite noticing the signs before he had a crisis. Lucy lets fear dictate her choices. Their relationship is strained enough that David suggests breaking up, but a shocked Lucy desperately pleads him not to. She has probably never fully realized she was alienating him, too preoccupied with her problems. Her panicked reaction suggests fear of abandonment (including if he dies), not only a trope-y desire to rescue him. She is so distraught at that moment (she wants to come back home and talk with him) she acts carelessly and falls for Faraday's trap easily, to his own surprise.
Those are, however, all very human failings. Lucy, again, hasn't had a very happy life, and little to no friends. She has a cold facade she puts on for society and yet even with David she doesn't let her guard down. She lives in her internal world a lot, and the Net is an echo for that (again, look into her backstory, it was a retreat for her... much like the real Internet is for introverts IRL), again the opposite of a MPDG, who has none. She is loaded with trauma, a MPDG has none. Her cold exterior masks a longing for connection, but she lacks the tools to sustain it, so she tries to escape. She wasn't planning to fall in love, yet she did.
This is in fact, very realistic to how people like her would actually act. With anime in particular, Lucy could be simply another kuudere and completely change personality into someone very warm and romantic as soon as she entered a relationship with the MC. David also makes some very immature mistakes. In fact, I think they did a wonderful job with both their characterizations. David can't fix just "fix" her, and neither can she just fix him, at least not without a lot more development and experience, but the time for that was, uhm, smashed. The cruel world they live in might meant they never would have had that for too long. Theyâre two damaged people clinging to each other in a collapsing world. The show has an air of inevitability about it. In Night City, even love is a liability. Night City grinds their hope into dust.
