The ice in the bath tub is a thing netrunners (hackers) do in this universe. Just like David replaced part of his nervous system to enhance his physical abilities, netrunners replace parts of theirs to turn their bodies into CPUs. That way they can basically enter cyber space in what's called a deep dive, but your body will over heat without precautions. Usually that means either a special suit or an ice bath.
Don't worry you guys, playing the game really isn't necessary for comprehending the anime, Edgerunners stablishes it's world and characters pretty well by itself
I can't be the only one who took a while to figure out what "eddies" were right? I mean, I got it by the end of the first episode but it didn't really sound like a term for money. I get that it's eddies = EDs = Eurodollars now though
@@cosanchez124 I think it might have been used in sentences with other slang words I was also trying to figure out so it wasn't that easy to focus on all of them at once. I got choom right away though.
After this episode, I was thinking Lucy is the typical "Femme Fatale", but honestly, if I shared that moment with her on the moon, I would go through that process again... I know, ima bit "down bad" for her lol.
22:05 Pondsmith's Cyberpunk was originally a table top, dnd style game which relies on near limitless story telling (organ trafficking, political/corpo corruption, moral dilemmas in healthcare, cloning ethics for spare body parts). You got a wordly man who grounded his fantasy with what he learned from his work place and irl connections i.e i know a guy, who knws a guy, who knows- etc (Fixer Dynamic). Trauma Team was designed to heal players asap but making it believable was hard. Pondsmith had a friend who was a paramedic who complained about drivers blocking the ambulance and later said it was easier working on an evac chopper... hence the flying Trauma Team idea was born lol. Cyber Prosthetics prods the idea of how our bodies react to maiming. How does losing an eye impact our vision? How would it affect our body if we lost both? Whats the limit of replacing physical parts of our body before were no longer us etc? Any change to our bodies,however big or small, is drastic. What of the psychological aspects? You can still go crazy irl without modifying our bodies for example. Cyberpunk is just fun to wonder about what-ifs, so dont worry about being accurate to the games.
There is a lot of slang in Cyberpunk that doesn't translate too well in Japanese as the Cyberpunk world was created by Mike Pondsmith with North America as the main setting. The Japanese voice actors did a good job, but it always bothered me a little knowing that the main character is Latin American and hearing a Japanese voice. I prefer the dubs over the subs on this show.
What was funny with the subs was that they had to fix it a few times. Cyberpunk's 20xx setting was written by an American author, with made up futuristic slang words; then adapted into a Japanese anime, only to be translated back to English by someone unfamiliar with the setting.
i would also recommend adding in the english subtitles regardless of whatever language to follow the slangs better. For me, Reading along and hearing the english allowed me to follow the slangs better. Just a small suggestion :D
@@coded321 I think the character designer had said that he had to consciously make sure to NOT have her look like the Major since that was what he kept referencing in his head during the development of Lucy.
@@skyefox Lucy's design is clearly influenced by the Major, the designer simply had to make sure he didn't make lucy a carbon copy of Makoto. Not that I'm complaining of course, lucy looks awesome.
@@coded321 Yeah in this video he talks about how he had to keep in mind that he couldn't rely too much on the Major and really accentuate certain things to keep Lucy distinctive. th-cam.com/video/A_8u592K1uc/w-d-xo.html
Regarding the rockets and possible orbital destinations - they don't cover it much in the show outside of the moon but in the tabletop RPG setting the game and anime are based on, there are orbital habitats. The most notable of which is an L7 habitat called "Crystal Palace" which is home to the ultra-rich as well as where the Corporate Council (made up of representatives of the 12 largest megacorporations) holds meetings.
Funfact: Imaishi is the director of Gurrenn Lagann, Kill la Kill and Promare. In fact the core staff (script-Otska, director - Imaishi and character designer and animation director - Yoh Yoshinari) are the original teams behind all three previous projects. Yoshinari was also involved in Evangelion and created Little Witch Academia. His brother Koh is also a world-class animator. Remember the FMA OP 4 scene of Ed jumping into the waterfall, yeah, that was Koh Yoshinari.
Just so you know, the intro song is called "This Fire" by Franz Ferdinand as you saif. I think it was in Burnout 3 on the Gamecube, Xbox and PS2, I know this because my Brother wouldn't stop listening to the soundtrack back in the day. Dunno if the song being a "mainstreme" western song means you'll get copy right trouble for having it up or not though.
Playing the game will definitely help to understand the world in this. Just the first part, which works kinda like a long tutorial for the game, tells a lot about the world. Corporations, braindance, netrunning, ripperdocs, mods... All concepts that appeared already in the first 2 episodes and are explained at more length in the game. There are many concepts that the show will touch on and it IS much easier to comprehend everything when you have either played the game or the original TTRPG the game was based on. Of course, it's spoiler free. *You don't need to, though. The show does a great job in showing how stuff is and works. But, personally, I feel the show is even better after playing the game's intro just because you will already have some context for certain stuff when you watch it.*
13:13 yes, in this world, there are space stations that are home to luxury hotels, party places, clinics, etc. humanity is also trying to colonize the moon and the mars. There are actually people who are born in space and almost never leaves space, they're called Highriders and they look down on the people on earth, calling them dirt people.
Thanks for swapping to the dub! While the Sub is phenomonal in it's own right, the dub just adds so much more with Cyberpunk's lingo and the terms it uses. At the end of the day it's your preference and whichever you choose to continue with, I'll be here till the end! Can't wait for you to wrap up this amazing show.
Carson Darling in the Franxx wasn’t really Trigger and A1 even though it was marketed that way. Darling in the Franxx were almost entirely A1. Trigger involvement in Darling in the Franxx was like Studio Pierrot involvement in Jojo or Slime . The director of Darling, Atsushi Nishigori is very good friends with Trigger staff. Nishigori is ex Gainax like the heads of Trigger
I still remembered the first time I watched this episode. the Ripper doc scene really messed me up... the fact that David was awake! Jesus... I think I passed out when the intro started
Don't worry guys, you don't need to play the game to understand this anime show. Besides, the anime show's story takes place a year before the game's story.
Wise decision to watch in English. That is the correct language for Night City and things like the English text on screen during drama moments are lost in other languages. Subscribed.
YES ... PLAY THE GAME ... The show is only aided by the gameplay and with a lot of the kinks worked out its pretty smooth. If you do understand there's over a hundred missions. There's side missions, side missions with story lines and the main mission. So as many side missions with story lines as you can because that's where the game shines. Side missions with no story line only serve to power up your player, but you become so overpowered that by the end of the game even on that hardest difficulty its still like when you give your little cousin a controller just so he stops crying and show him no mercy. No point in powering everything up especially if your someone who plays games on easy all the fun will disappear from the gameplay real fast. Also they edit the gameplay dramatically on easy. This game is best played on extra hard. The story of the game is great beyond the gameplay and will have a similar impact to the game.
ep 6,9,10 are some of the best episodes this year, up there with Osuma Ranking ep21, KnY ep17, Kaguya Sama ep13, One piece ep1018, 1028,1033,AoT s4 sp2, 19,20,26,27
Ok, I like Lucy's voice in japanese WAAAY better than the eng version. That line right here 8:24 oh Jesus... No disrespect to the VA but its hard to compete against fcking Aoi Yuuki... But I'll keep watching it since I love the show anyways.. ignore my small rant xD
the bath fill with ice is like the cooler on the proccesor! Lucy haz a dock on the back of the head for deepdive net! and she will heat up very fast and she needs to cool off when she deepdives the net!

Having to figure out what half the words in the script mean based on context was an interesting experience.

@@User-jp1sj really? I thought that was the most obvious. they clearly use eddies in the same context you would say dollars in the first episode even.

the song "i really want to stay at your house" hits different after ep 10
Tbh I still think the outro hits harder, but its a whole different melancholic vibe

The entire soundtrack is just bangers this show is so good
Lucy is the Runner (NetRunner) she is like a haker ! she haks the cip implants on the neck and ejects the bits( the cips are the walets in this world)
Ah i love this romantic scene on the moon. So pure and very romantic

The game music is all bangers too and maybe 10x more of them
First time I saw Lucy she reminded me of a cross of the Major from Ghost in the Shell and Maya from Borderlands 2.
I'm pretty sure Trigger stated Lucy's design was heavily influenced by major Makoto.

I really wanna stay at your house. That song makes me feel things
That song is my favorite from the game, I also like Night City by Rel that plays right before on Body Heat Radio.
That freakin intro dawg😂😂😂😂😂
This feels like this generations Cowboy Bebop. The feels, overall vibes, drama, action, themes. And the Dub is actually appreciated.

The song at the end you guys listens to is called let you down I think. The music video is really cool and is before David met maines crew.
honestly now is a perfect time to play the game. Or rather, after you have watched the show or got time.
Whats the name of the song at 7:00
does somebody know the music from 9:10?

anime of the year easily
I'm a Lucy simp
"Hire" is a word that could be used by a Corp.
Edgerunners are a type of Cyberpunk.
Arasaka is the biggest corporation besides militech and biotech
Yeah please play the game on stream ~ that'd be POGGERS

The voice actor for lucy and Maine and the 2 that in Japanese super stand out great acting
Maine is ridiculous in Japanese.
Glad you guys are enjoying it. I Loved the show it deserves the hype i think.
Playing the game isn't necessary but if you would want too this takes place one year before the events of 2077
I’m game sandevistan is the most OP cyberware, instead of quick hacking your just super fast and then add in the mono wire Lucy has, it’s so OP
Absurdity Lucy's character design gives zero two vibes
damn, i was hoping this'd be a sub reaction, rebecca's voice is so damn good in japanese
Much better in English.
@@juantimer nah, the english is good too but better? absolutely not
@@juantimer Dub's way better, cope.
By episode 8 Carson crys, by the end of episode 10 you both cry.

Now try it in Polish dub, so you get whole combo. xD
Esa canción me persiguira eternamente

fun fact: they didn't
@@mjm3091 do u know CDPR was about to delete rebecca?
Well CDPR aren't an anime studio sooo...
Sounds like Elysium
i am in pain 🙂
Wait Carson has forehead? :0
Sub is way better at showing emotions that character actually have so i like sub more in this anime
nice
Nicee I’m glad u guys watching this one dub. I prefer sub but this one has to be watched dubbed chooms
sub is AWAYS better with anime
That's subjective though.
Weebs and wannabes think so. Japanese monoculture is the worst thing about anime.
Noice
Dub. Yeah!!!!
Imo the sub is better the dub some voice acting falls flat but to each their own
Dubs
dub 🤢
I know right? It's pretty good. I prefer the sub tho.
Whatever choom, like I give a shit
Good choice to go with the dub
Every anime becomes a comedy in ENG DUB.
Literally unwatchable.
How?
