Kai Ikarashi confirmed directing, from Trigger.

Hell yeah, Trigger has done incredible stuff the recent years. Best news for this project.

Say less

 

[Autistic_Pancake]

Hmm... So, Hiroyuki Imaishi won't be directing this one; instead it's a directorial debut of Kai Ikarashi - which is good, since Kai is exceptionally skilled, but the caveat is that Season 2 might end up lacking that special Imaishi energy and style, unless Imaishi would supervise it all very thoroughly. "Cautious optimism" is probably the best way to describe what I'm feeling about this announcement.

I hope Netflix doesn't try to mess with this season

 

[SJRB]

Lot of people throwing around spoilers on socials for some reason, so watch S1 asap if you haven't yet.

The official reveal trailer for S2 has a montage of each S1 character dying plus a huge DAVID'S DEAD banner.

HUGE SPOILERS BEWARE:

 

[DragonNCM]

One day I will play the game, then the DLC, so that I can watch the show (assuming it has game spoilers).

Series have nothing with Cyberpunk game in common, only universe.

 

[Hashassin]

I don't think he's trying to be (at least I hope not). There are genuinely times where another language dub can save a show from being too cringe or annoying, especially if certain VOs go overboard and over act.

A classic example:



vs the dub



I remember this sub driving a lot of sub viewers either away from the show or towards the dub of it. The dub actor did do some screaming scenes for the character in the video, but it wasn't nearly as bad as how it sounds in the first video which is extremely over the top.

Man! Black clover is amazing stuff. But that first episode also almost turned me away. Which dork dufus retard thought it was a good idea to start with mada MADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

I'm glad I powered through it.

Fascinating to see the CDPR logo in the trailer.

Are they attached to this Netflix show in some form?

I hope Mike Pondsmith is getting credit and some royalties for all this cyberpunk lore & media expansion.

Also hope they announce a sequel to the game too.

 

[Spyxos]

Really really loved the first season. Not sure how i feel about s2 as it seems to be with completly new characters.

Heavy spoilers for the first season

 

[HJuggernaut]

fuck yes! i thought edge runners was a much better story than cp77

 

[Rush2112]

the original show was very dark. wonder how this will be.

 

[SJRB]

fuck yes! i thought edge runners was a much better story than cp77

For sure.

The ludonarrative dissonance in the game is ridiculous and probably the worst I've ever experienced.

I absolutely love Cyberpunk 2077 but the story was terrible. Phantom Liberty was excellent though.

Heavy spoilers for the first season

Such a cool universe, man

Sometimes I boot the game just to stay in Night City for a while. Interactivity is limited, and yet it has so much personality.

Will be a huge task to top Night City in the sequel (I've heard they are changing the location for the sequel)

I warmed up to the story later on, doing all the JS parts, drug binge night out etc. A lot of the best quests are right before the point of no return.

Yeah I sometimes boot up the game just to drive around aimlessly. It's easily the most dense, most believable city I've ever seen in a game. It's incredibly well made.

Drive to my Corpo Plaza apartment, take a shower, sit at the bar and drink a scotch, smoke a cigarette, and back to the streets.

The immersion in this game is S+ tier.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I was blown away by cyberpunk and phantom liberty, the chip, dog town etc.

I think that's the consensus. Edgerunners' characters and story easily dunks on Cyberpunk 2077's.

 

[Boss Mog]

Hopefully there will be no happy ending. Night City is the main character in Cyberpunk and it always chews up and spits out those who think they're gonna make it big there.
