    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.

      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

    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.

    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.*

Nishigori is ex Gainax like the heads of Trigger

    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.
