TL;DR:
- Directed by Kai Ikarashi
- Standalone story
- 10 episodes
- “A raw chronicle of redemption and revenge”
- “I wasn’t satisfied with the sadness… so I want you to be even more sad now.” - Bartosz Sztybor (writer/producer of both seasons)
Really fucking hooe they cook on this. First one was really good but the hard part is gonna be not relying too much on the story from the first one.

Not a fan of Studio Trigger and I thought the first season was a tad bit overrated but I did enjoy it for how it adapted the very franchise that opened me up to trying anime in the first place, so I’m interested.

I think that to some extent this comes down to a simple fact that for many people, like yourself, Edgerunners was their first into the world of anime - depending on one’s media literacy and experience this might sway their opinion one way or another. Besides, that’s not just a problem with Edgerunners, you could say the same about folks for whom Cyberpunk 2077 was their first experience with cyberpunk as a genre.
While not perfect, it’s a solid show overall and if it serves as a gateway deeper into the rabbit hole then I’d say it’s worth the praise.
