Lyrics:
Feel the rhythm of the streets
Neon lights and neon dreams
Bloody fists they feel no pain
When there’s so much more to gain
Hunting season if you will
Tell me where’d you’d rather be
I can hardly see the moon
Hope we’ll get there pretty soon
Trying so hard to release
You out of the misery
Hold on to your wishes
If you can’t hold on to me
Forgive me for letting you down
Forgive me for letting you down again
Guess I’m not strong enough
Right now
They will finally feel the flames
Flames that run down through my veins
I will make this city burn
We’re not planning to return
Trying so hard to be free
To make you see what I see
Hold on to your wishes
If you can’t hold on to me
Forgive me for letting you down
Forgive me for letting you down again
Guess I’m not strong enough
Right now
Forgive me for letting you down
Forgive me for letting you down again
I guess I’m not strong enough
Right now
Let you down
Oh, let you down
Let you down
Oh, let you down
ABOUT CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS
The series tells a standalone, 10-episode story about a street kid trying to survive in Night City - a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he stays alive by becoming an edgerunner - a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk.
CD PROJEKT RED, the company behind the Cyberpunk 2077 video game, is producing the series with Rafał Jaki (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher: Ronin) as Showrunner and Executive Producer, with Satoru Homma, Bartosz Sztybor and Saya Elder serving as producers. The team at CD PROJEKT RED has been working on this new series since 2018. Acclaimed Japan-based animation company, Studio Trigger, will serve as the animation studio on the series and bring the world of Cyberpunk to life with their signature, vibrant style. Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Promare) will direct the series along with creative director Hiromi Wakabayashi (Kill la Kill), character designer and animation director Yoh Yoshinari (Little Witch Academia, BNA: Brand New Animal), and the adapted screenplay by Yoshiki Usa (GRIDMAN UNIVERSE series, Promare) and Masahiko Otsuka (Star Wars: Visions 'The Elder'). The original score will be composed by Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series). - เกม

No one cares lmao this only blew up because it's anime nobody cares about the actual game 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@CrowofYharnamI bought the game today (:
@@Zullfix did you read what I said I said this video only blew up getting almost 30M views because it's anime that song they linked will not do the same numbers because more people care about the anime than the game that is a fact
In 4 minutes they managed to introduce a completely new character, Sasha, tell her story, make us care about her and feel devastated by her tragic fate. Bravo.
The cdpr specialty

@@Dinrog I can't blame Rings of power, I think they had some budget issues, they probably needed another billion dollars to hire competent writers lol
How to tell if it's a Cyberpunk story:
1. It's super well written
2. it's sad
3. It teaches you how much color can enhance a projects visual appeal
4. Dope cyberware
5. bonkers music
Audiovisual pornography amid the existential search for humanity in a cruel, unfair world that exploits and crushes it
True!
Fun fact for people that don't know: New Gig was added in Phantom Liberty where you help Sasha's (Girl in Video) sister save her husband.
Gig name?

Imagine you just finished watching Edgerunners and came here to find the ED for the anime only to have your heart totally wrecked for the second time. I know because that happened to me too.
There is a limit to which a heart can be teared apart. Can't blast a hole through it if it's already in there. I know because that happened to me too (and it keeps on happening).
Fucking ditto man😭😭
Seriously i just came here to listen to the song then i actually paid attention to the video. WTF emotionally devastating again
@@villen7159 i know man, people want a season 2 but I don't know if i can take it.
"They can't keep getting away with this!!"
She died with a smile on her face, and that's more than most people get in night city. She's a certified badass.
I wish Becca could get this closure ending for herself and not that atrocity that happened to her
David did as well Rip
Because she avenged her mother in the process. She didnt die for nothing
It’s not about how you lived but about how you die
@@Pilligrim-gd3oe To be fair she was a mass murderer, she had never regret killing people as David had nausea moments (the moment he kill an innocent) and Lucy depression (because crew died). They could flee the city but yeah Lucy past was too hard to escape no spoiler 😅. Rebecca was cool but not your typical girlfriend.
It is amazing how in sync the animation is with the lyrics. "We're not planning to return" is sang just as Sasha apologizes to Maine for her actions.
"Forgive me for letting you down" starts for the first time as Sasha flashes back to her mother's coma.
This can be interpreted either as her own childhood guilt, or as the words that her mother could never speak.
I'm just scratching the surface, so just know: this is a masterpiece.
You should watch what Birdy Nam Nam did with 'The Parachute Ending' like a decade ago.
Look it up on here.
I would think childhood guilt because when comes up again "forgive me for letting you down" She is crying while dancing, partying and feeling like she isn't doing anything worth wild for her mom.
It goes beyond that; The first verse, while Sasha does the initial infiltration, is all about the life of an Edgerunner in Night City; "Bloody fists, they feel no pain when there's so much more to gain" could be either about how the Megacorps feel no remorse about the blood on their hands when there's profit involved, or perhaps about how the pain of the Edgerunner lifestyle doesn't matter to Sasha when it's a path to achieving her dreams, and "I can hardly see the moon, hope we get there pretty soon." is pretty obviously her hoping she and her crew can achieve their dreams, even when they're out of sight.
The second verse, on the other hand, that starts when Sasha resolves to make her final stand, is about how she'll make Biotechnica feel some of the pain they caused her, even if it costs her life; "They will finally feel the flames, flames that run through my veins. I will make the city burn. We're not planning to return." is pretty self-explanatory, and "Hold on to your wishes if you can't hold on to me." is her final farewell to her crew, asking them to move on and find their own happiness.
The chorus, meanwhile, could have a bunch of different meanings; "Forgive me for letting you down. I guess I'm not strong enough right now." could be about Sasha apologizing to her crew for not coming back (Or maybe to her mom for getting her Securicine? It'd be be fucked up in a very Cyberpunk way if a young Sasha was the one who went out to buy her mother painkillers, only for them to end up being what actually killed her), her mom apologizing for dying and leaving her daughter alone, or even Maine, apologizing for not being strong enough to save Sasha, which of course, would only fuel his Chrome addiction.
Just fucking tragic all around, but it makes for an absolutely phenomenal music video.
'Am not listening to you. You're not real, just a story to scare children.
I interpreted the "Forgive me for letting you down" bit as an apology for giving in to the temptation of sacrificing her own life (which her mom certainly would not have wanted) for vengeance. Granted, one can argue it was justice for all of the victims of Biotechnica's greed. But in her heart, it was vengeance.
Ladies, gentlemen: If there ever was a good storyboard with a compelling story told in under 5 minutes, this is it. This is a masterpiece in storytelling. In only short 4 minutes and 43 seconds, the story introduces a new character, makes you care about it, and makes you suffer with their fate. A Mastercraft right here.
This and shelter by porter robinson are truly goated. Fml the emotions
For Real but why they do this😢
I cared until she flashbanged security robots (who could just close a shutter over their cameras) and convinced them despite their programming they had a psyche that could be affected by cyberpsychosis. Not an ounce of human meat anywhere in the assailants. Really REALLY good past that...glaring wtf moment at the pivotal plot point. Literally just had to switch the cyberpsychosis quick hack with short circuit but nOoooooOooO it has to be the edgy one that doesn't make sense for fan fic reasons
Not to mention the fact that there are no words spoken in this video (only a couple subtitles). Truly, CD Projekt knows their stuff.
Russian-born director in a Japanese animation studio makes a clip on a song with English lyrics, written by a Polish artist. It promotes a Japanese anime made in tandem with Polish game based on a setting of American author.

It's a beautiful thing when you put it that way
Growing up in the 90's, this right here was the "American Dream" I was sold: an actual melting pot where your actions and results made you, not your descriptors.
Very impressed that they managed to get a whole extra canon story from this music video, this is bonus content after just finishing the show
They're also putting Dawid Podsiadlo on the map too. I didn't really listen to his songs in the game,, but they really made them shine in Edgerunner. So glad they did, I hope he gets the Shawn James treatment.
Edit: Nvm, his songs weren't in the game. But still, they're really putting him on.
So uh... Are we going to ignore the fact big corporations can simply silence news
@@huk5414 The thing is news is also considered corpos there, and having dirt on other corpos sure do leverage their influence, and there are other big pharma corpos with enough cash to buy those dirts, not even corpos in night city is buddy buddy with each other.
lets save this girl oh yeah
@@ausar567 can't trust anybody in night city
The ending left me with a deep void inside.
Edgerunner truly embodies the essence of a tragic tale.
I love how this has the same theme you see a lot in Cyberpunk/Shadowrun-type media.
The moment a gig becomes personal, it's over.
People who do this kind of 'runner job for a living, they measure risk pretty well and they always ensure that they have a way out (otherwise they never would have lasted long enough to become professionals) but the moment something about the case personally involves you, you can't let it go anymore.
You run out the clock, you let your escape-window close without you and you start taking crazy risks.
It happened to Johnny, it happened to Sasha, it happened to V.
And it happened to David
“You’re not remembered by how you live as a cyberpunk in night city, you’re remembered by how you die”
Legends never die ;)
So sad 😔
Fuck man 😭😭😭literally can’t stop breaking my heart
Pilar died standing less then 5 feet away from a cyberpsycho with its Willy out
damn man...
"You don't make your name as a Cyberpunk by how you live. You are remembered by how you die."
"Gives new meaning to the phrase hard as iro-"
V solos them
u got them right! still hurts to hear that again
Lucy said cyberpunks will be remembered how by how they die instead of how they lived, so she doesn’t want David to become one.
However, in the end she remembers David by how he lived not how he died, even though David became a cyberpunk after all.
Doc said after using up all the strengthened meds he gave David, no matter how special David is he was bound to lose himself.
However, even after using all the meds, Lucy managed to help David remain himself by kissing him. Lucy was David’s last dose of medicine.

This MV, and Anime itself has proved Johnny Silverhand's line on how true that was.
"Happier ending? For people like us? Wrong City, Wrong People."
Yes... and yet Johnny contradicts himself saying he's not against capitalism.
I don't know why but that line in the game hit me very hard. I mean the whole 2077 is about megacorps (as one of pinnacles of development of capitalism) exploiting and then throwing people in the trash but still writers don't have guts to say what was that all about.
Players aren't dumb and we get the idea anyway but Johnny sometimes acts illogically.
@@aulendor4639 Indeed, people can go astray by blaming "Night City" alone, as if it's not actually an issue of the economic system itself. Extreme capitalism, aka anarco-capitalism, leads to a dystopia. But that's the whole point of the cyberpunk genre, though.
It fits the theme still, the Cyberpunk-themed worlds are cursed somewhat. It is The End of History, where the Democracy of fooled and Capital of the Ultra destroy the world in a weird symbiosis. The one weird thing is that there's also aliens in 2077 setting, and they may be used as scapegoats for all the problems of Capitalism and etc.
@@aulendor4639 it's not capatlism, it's people, it's always people no matter the system.

You can see Maine's hand shaking seeing Sasha dead, such a small detail that adds so much to his personality.
honestly bruh i just think she just passed out
@@kay1229 breh
@@kay1229why isn’t she in the show then?
I think he was like "Fuck, not again, my ride"
That episode where Maine goes full Cyberpsycho is super intense, after that episode ends and this song comes on has me sobbing like a baby thinking about how David was feeling in that moment. Maine was not only a parental figure after Gloria died, the father David never had, and also his teacher/mentor. Watching him Loosing his mind, killing his lover Dorio, slapping David around, dieing I front of David right after his mom, and David coming out of it with just his arms and that silent drive home afterwards, that shit was so fucking brutal.
The fact that this song and the Phantom Liberty song are my faves, goes a LONG WAY in showing how skilled and talented is Dawid Podsiadło. Bravo to all involved!
In case some people missed it. Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk world is a running commentary on Humanity and the Human condition. Letting people "Play a character" in that world is probably the best way to express his opinion about Humanity and how fragile it really is. I first drew that conclusion in the early 1990's playing the tabletop PnP RPG.
For those that don't understand the video, lore-wise this girl's mom was in the Unification War and was wounded somehow and took medication which ultimately killed her. Her daughter watched all this happen, grew up, and wanted revenge. She achieved a measure of it (Biotechnica still exists in V's time, a few years later) so it's unlikely much was achieved by this raid. But it did help Sasha reach closure, even if it killed her, hence why her current self was hugging her former child-self at the end.
Something like that would shut them down for good... but they didn't!?
@@suserano7566 one minor scandal can't do anything against a corpo as big as biotechnica.

Trigger did an impeccable job with the animation, music, characters and storytelling. It's perfect and makes the viewer want more and more, but also goes to show, there are no happy endings in Night City. Thanks for ripping my heart out again after Gurren Lagann and Kill La Kill.

Reading this comment took me right back to the vibe I remember the beginning of the game having, it’s crazy how much the game flipped my impression of its world, vibes, and story throughout my whole play through.
God, seeing Becca, Dorio and Maine again after finishing the series is heartwrenching.
Shit broke me although i predicted the end
kekyoin?
😭
Also a bit of a neat little detail, the bar they're in called "Afterlife"
That episode where Maine goes full Cyberpsycho is super intense, after that episode ends and this song comes on has me sobbing like a baby thinking about how David was feeling in that moment. Maine was not only a parental figure after Gloria died, the father David never had, and also his teacher/mentor. Watching him Loosing his mind, killing his lover Dorio, slapping David around, dieing I front of David right after his mom, and David coming out of it with just his arms and that silent drive home afterwards, that shit was so fucking brutal.
This could also explain why Maine became a bit more protective over David. Faraday described him as being the type to become attached to his team, and it really seemed like he was trying very hard to keep David safe but still on board. Could be from the trauma he experienced from this tragic event.

I grew up reading Sci fi with stories like Neromancer, Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep, Snow Crash, The Man Who Awoke, and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. And it's just nice to finally have a complete RPG cyberpunk game. Seeing those dark themes regarding A.I. finally brought to life is just really nice.
Blade runner and electric sheep really set this type of genre in motion

@@Buckeqzq The girl's name appears to be Sasha Galina. Judging by the characters we see, (Rebecca, Dorio, & Maine) my best guess is that she met Maine way before Lucy came around. But the reason why you never seen her in Edgerunners is because she died before Lucy, David, and possibly Gloria's (David's Mom) introduction. I don't even think she was referenced in all ten episodes. And because of that, its hard to say if Sasha & the events that happened are canon to the Edgerunners storyline.
Asli bang, sampe nangis nangis gw
It is very hard to not cry every time I see this. A masterpiece, truly
This just shows how much more you can do in the interesting world of Cyberpunk, I'm dying for more cyberpunk content
This is absolutely insane. I never thought I'd discover an amazingly emotional story by searching for the ending of an anime
Before: Ah this looks like a fun action packed "turn your brain off" anime to watch after work
After: How tf can fictional animated characters make me so emotional 😭😭😭😭😭
I don't think I've ever felt this emotional and stirred up after fictional content like a game, movie, show whatever... it's an incredible feeling that they made this hir so hard but so sad... classic example of wishing I never watched this masterpiece...
Amazing show, one of the best anime ever made, this is an experience not to be missed. This one really stuck with me all the time and the song is so bitter sweet and romantic man... CD and Trigger nailed this one perfectly. I love how they portrayed Night City as incredibly dangerous and you can just get your head blown off at any minute and life is so fragile and people just *poof, and they're gone...
And it's amazing that they stayed true to the Cyberpunk lore as well with UI, text font, aesthetic, places, guns, people/gangs, cyberware etc etc... You can tell so much love and passion was put into the show to show these details. 10/10!
I loved all the characters in the gang but to be honest David was starting to act like an a$$hole to the end of the show and even though he's got everyone telling him to stop pushing the limits of his body or he'll go cyberpsycho he still does it anyway to fulfil his egotistical pride and deadpan mindset, and things turned out tragic.
He's a likeable character but he really doesn't deserve Lucy honestly since she basically begged for him to stop to save his life and he not only doesn't understand but threatens to break up which hurts Lucy... What a a$$hole! Lucy really did love him and he's probably the only thing that ever really mattered to her. It was very sweet yo see them living together in the luxury apartment, it was so wholesome, Lucy seemed like she just wanted a simple life with David but David chose otherwise...
I think the reason Lucy fancied David in the first place is because he was a very innocent, natural and "organic" person and wholesome, amidst all the cyber chaos, corpo scheming, gang wars and nasty business, David was a person she could feel easy with. But later on she realised that David has embarked on a forsaken cyber route and yet still loves him, that's what makes her a keeper. I think despite this being a bunch of fictional characters and only 10 episodes, it deeply explores the human condition. Very impressive honestly.
He also doesn't deserve Rebecca too lol. I think this show does a great job showing the downfall of a person who strives to hard for power and abandons his humanity and what matters to him, and no one could stop him in place in ruining himself... He's a heroic idiot who witnessed how bad going insane is with all these modifications but still couldn't resist his spiral down, it's quite a tragic story since the developers are really good at making feel attached to characters and then ripping them away painfully...😣🤨
Anyways the show really did made you FEEL so many emotions by the end. Sadness, melancholy, emptiness etc etc... 😫
.......
@@mingyuhuang8944 David was driven by his good nature and his desire to make it big, something that Night City instills in people on a very basic level. The wish is always there, it's even a promise the city makes to you. You CAN make it big... the price is just very very high.
David got lost on his journey, he lost sight of what mattered to him in the beginning. His mother, his friends, his good nature. He fought for his beliefs until he too was corrupted by Night City. Towards the end we see him struggle with it. He recognizes what he has become and it torments him but he can't stop. He hasn't "won" yet. He hasn't yet made it big *enough*.
Lucy on the other hand did exactly as you said, she fell in love with David for his innocence and positive outlook on life. She saw in him what she never saw in other people, a good-hearted, innocent person that just wanted to live their life. Lucy was trapped in her life of crime and David looked like a way out. A way to reclaim some normalcy.
Sadly their paths diverted towards the end. They both had something to finish, something to do, some middle finger to give to the corporations and gangs that hounded them their entire life. It broke both of them but it broke David the most. He went psycho over it.
My personal theory is that cyberpsychosis doesn't actually exist. It's just psychosis. Most cyberpsychos have a LOT of emotional trauma that never gets processed. Instead, it keeps piling on because of their lifestyle. That, paired with the sense of superiority and "loss of reality" inherent to massive cyber-augmentation leads to them losing track of who they really are and what's really important in life. They become weapons, aiming themselves at whatever they think is a danger to them and their goals. We see this in David. Random people sprouting weapons out of their bodies, aimed at him. He feels constantly threatened, even by those who pose no danger to him. He's completely lost in his life of violence. There is no more life without violence for him.
So when he, at the very end of his journey, reclaims what little humanity he had left and fights the only fight worth fighting, the fight for his friends and his family, he can die with a smile. Sane. Himself. Leaving Lucy behind, who had no means to drag him out of the swamp he walked into. Yet it isn't his fault entirely. Many people fucked up on the way, Lucy too. She was the one who introduced him to the cyberpunk lifestyle in the first place. She tolerated his steady corruption. She withdrew herself when he needed her the most.
There is no blame game to play with this series. Everyone fucked up. Noone is innocent. Noone is without fault. That's the core concept of the modern Cyberpunk setting, the world's gone downhill too much for people like David and Lucy to have a happy ending.
@@mingyuhuang8944 Have you tried Nier Automata? Cause there is a deeper rock bottom to be explored and if you don't wanna play the game, there is an anime adaptation in the making.
You portrait David as someone who totaly lost it, but he lost it to win what he wanted, he had never his own dream until his dream became to fulfill Lucy's dream, which he does at terrible cost. But he die so she can be free again from arasaka and finally landed on moon. He knew he is going to edge of cyberpsychosis BUT he also knew its only way to fulfill Lucy dream, with money for his last gig and money they saved up(in one scene doctor asked him if he does not want better gear instead of fixing but he rather wanted reminder of Maine because it was enough for job done and he don't want to waste money) he had enough to go to moon and have a nice life there with Lucy, he just could not know that kiwi betray him and Lucy.
I don't think so, here is my perspective. David was carried away by the dreams of his mother first. Second, after she passed away, he tries to find somewhere to belong. Third, he found himself in the middle of cyberpunks and, in a way or another, he felt empathy toward them for inumeral reasons. Lucy was only a sweet dream, one that he cannot flee or get away, always being atracted by her and that what love is meant to be. Forth, Maine death leaves david with a void inside himself, another dream of someone's who's now dead and in the twist of the drama he loses his way thinking, " if it was him, who's special, things would be different". Things would end in happier manner. But of course that was not what happen.
"only this much to go to the moon, how cheap" - was what david says when he was in his most fragile moment watching tv, always thinking about dreams of another and not himself. He's not egoistic, really! He's way too altruistic and that was the cause of his death, living the dream of another.
From these 4 minutes idk it makes me emotional . Her discovering the reason why her mother’s health was slowly declining and eventually passed away . And making the decision to stay to upload the information/side effects that they were keeping confidential from the public . And her present self hugging her child self like she finally got closure to why her mom passed away was just the icing on top and the OST is perfect to go with it too. Such a beautiful story in such short time …

@@dustinjones7458 Well.. fuck...it is never ending cycle..
probably here's where cyberpsychosis started to kick in.
Likely as Dustin said, between the guilt and the rationing. Likely when his cyberpsychosis kicked in.
It's not just the chrome that causes you to lose it. The added stress the chrome causes to the body/brain isn't super helpful.
It's also the emotional scars, the PTSD, survivor's guilt, the pressure the continue to out perform the competition, the pressure to get that next best contract, the fear of relying on others, the fear of failing.
Pondsmith said something similar.
Seriously i think they had a super close group cause in the beginning they only had 4 in the group. and that look and wave at 0:22 Sasha must have been like a daughter figure to him like how David becomes a son figure later.
Man imma be honest yesterday when i put this song on i started to cry uncontrollably cause i didn't know how much this song fucking got to me, so for me this song is legendary in my eyes because it's done some that most songs i listen to haven't been able to do in years and yet this song made my cry in just four minutes.
When you're in a situation in life, where no matter what you do, no matter how strong, how selfless, how committed you are, you cannot win, songs like this are devastating.
Intellectually you can know that's the truth, but your emotions don't care what the truth is.
this song resonates with the same thoughts i have every time i think about the people that i lost, or rather left me and i kind of dont have anyone anymore
I've just finished my first playthrough of Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty. I've done everything there is to do and I'm still not ready to let the game go.
"Guess I meant, I dunno... A happier ending. For everyone."

What quote from
@@codedchaos6480 It's from one of the endings of the game. Johnny says it.
agree to disagree
In 4 minutes, they've done a better job telling a story and making you care about the character than most hollywood movies these days, some of which can't even do that during their total runtime. I'm in tears.
“These days”
It’s always been like this
The extraordinary always stands out
4 minutes that's all it took.
I feel like this vid and the anime both really excel in focusing on character's emotions, then giving you the viewer juuust enough hard context to make it land and let you fill in the rest. Hits so much harder than focusing on the details and letting you fill in the emotions like a lot of movies do
The individuals in Hollywood movies these days are more based on their skin colour or their gender than on their character.
Yeah, it's like "Still feeling sad after Edgerunners? Here's another punch to the guts." Didn't even know this existed. When I click on something like this, I expect the song over maybe some visuals from the anime, not another piece of super condensed quality content. It's like finding an extra candy on the bottom of the bag.
Falco says it best when he texts V: “Our 15 minutes is spent.” V is the protagonist of 2077 but his time will also pass. There are no immortals in Night City, only legends with Afterlife cocktails named after them - a hollow victory.
The way the world is right now makes this game/anime hit different.

I just came here for the ending song for Cyberpunk Edgerunners to relive the feeling of that last episode, but instead I get a new story to wreck me emotionally, and it happened all before David, Lucy or Kiwi even showed up. You magnificent bastards.
"get fucked again scrub"- CDPR probably
Нет слов
The sublte shaking hand of Maine at the end is just such a minute and perfect detail. This MV is insane, I can't believe I just watched it so late after edgerunners.
Had a break up a while back. This song and its lyrics help me remember to not look back. Started playing cyberpunk around the same time. It was a dark time, but an outlet of the pain I felt. Cyberpunk and Edgerunners hit on a topic of emotional mayhem that I understand deep down. It's the reason I like it so much, because its world is so relatable.
I'm glad despite a horrid launch CDR didn't give up on the Cyberpunk universe. There's so much more that can be done..so many stories to be told.
The universe itself was definitely not the issue.
Although I gotta say, there's only so much depressive dystopia stories I can digest at once.
@@Dark__Thoughts Phantom liberty gonna be first and last DLC if i got it right
They maybe gonna make another game,but thats not Cyberpunk 2077 i knew
RedEngine is awesome, but they decide to change it
@@skell6134 They said that, but that might have just been an effort to not make any empty promises again. Should this expansion be a success, CDPR would be fools not to continue adding more to the game.
@@_Encie They just dont want to work with RedEngine,they moving to Unreal engine soon if news arent lying
Would be really cool if we get more DLC but we cant speak about that yet tho as long as even Phantom liberty didnt come out yet
@@skell6134 RedEngine is probably one of the reasons why the game turned out to be so shitty. Having your own game engine is a very costly thing and requires very skilled people to maintain it. Given the amount of jank and bugs still present I am pretty sure that they've had a lot of issues adapting it for CP2077 and dropping support for it earlier than originally planned.
I wouldn't be surprised if they do another CP game with UE after the next Witcher game. I think as a franchise there's definitely potential. Hopefully with better modding support then as well. UE is already an open platform, so it's very much up to CDPR to allow and support it.
the fact that they told a whole character story in just the ending theme seriously blew my mind....specially since I didn't even know she was there as I would skip right to the next episode o.O
In the anime the ending looks different, although still the same song
This is a music video not the ending of the ending
Blew david mind too
Imagine if the second season tells her story. How Maine isn't super chromed up and turning cyberpsycho yet. That the death of this character and his inability to prevent it drives Maine to chrome up. That all of this happens before David joins their crew. Effectively building an entire season prequel through what was once just the end credits of each episode.
@@Smaug84 your trying to tell me that the prequel is gonna get a prequel
Really drives in the point, it doesn't matter how much you have, it doesn't matter what you do.
The city always wins
omg thats so beautiful, i like the animation so much, the story hurt my heart in just 4 min and the music vibe is so cool. Thanks so much for this
It blows my mind how well they portrayed the feeling of the world of cyberpunk in less than 4 minutes
The game hits harder
@@TipoIrritable No shit, Sherlock

Damn I can't believe they dropped yet another great Edgerunners story just within the ending video. They seriously need to keep making Cyberpunk stuff, the universe is far too interesting to leave it at that, there's too many stories to tell.
I love the cyberpunk universe still feel bad about Johnny Silverhand
no bro. I dont want to cry anymore :(
@@khasyoutube in Night City you'll get used to it
Its all I can ever think about.
@@50R0R I know right it has so much potential for more stories
Can't stop watching this. Rare for me to to find quality on youtube.😂
"A happy ending? For folks like us? Wrong city, wrong people."
"Hold on to your wishes if you can't hold on to me" this hits like a truck after watching the anime, they definitely wrote this line for Lucy
Exactly what I thought
It's Sasha singing to Maine, and David singing to Lucy
"Where Did Your Love Go" Lucy and David's message for each other
"Let You Down" David's message to Lucy
"Want To Stay At Your House" Lucy's to David.
I love how this actually adds additional layer of Maine's personality aswell.
Visually shows the very heart warming and humanity side of him.
Just like in the Edgerunners, he mourns the loss of hes family.
FAMILY
Spoilers....
I miss him...
maine was always shown as being heart warming and very human, compared to the rest of the cast he was the most human to me, even more then David and Lucy. They did that to make his fall to insanity so much more extreme, ep 6 was brilliant.
His virtue leads to his downfall.
The only reason he kept chroming up, kept pushing the edge, was trying to keep his family safe.
We've seen that part of him in the anime, like Instantly
I know I'm late to the party but this is quite the masterpiece. Just needed to be said (over and over again)
Happy Anniversary to this awesome video!!
"Honey, time for your daily dose of depression!"
"Yes dear..."
shiiii ive been overdosing all week then
This isn't depressing. It's optimistic! It takes the happenings of the past few years and lets you imagine that a hopeful rebel could stand up and fight it like a hero.
In the real world this story got covered by the news she sent it to, with a pillow, until it stopped moving.
@@SymmetricalDocking you're wrong, that's just an illusion. No single rebel can shake this world and that's the whole story. Jonny literally nukes Arasaka tower and nothing changed 50 years later. Edgerunners is the same, you only see the chrome on the surface, not the tragic emptyness under the hood. David is a tragic figure, he tries to help everyone get their dreams, dies for it and leaves only one person behind and she's heart broken by his pointless death. He starts as a generous kind kid and end up a cyberpsycho. This is a perfect mirror in reality to toxic masculinity, getting raised to ignore our personal feelings to sacrifice ourselves in the name of heroism while actually being used and discarded and unable to live our own lives. I personally went through all that shit, have more scars than body parts for real, even lost 1/3 of a lung. Took me 25 years to learn better, barely starting to be happy for my own god damn self at the age of 38...
There are so many appreciative comments about the Edgerunner series (rightfully so), but can we talk about how beautifully animated and directed this MV is? It tells us the story of Sasha, Maine's netrunner before Kiwi and Lucy. She had lost her mother presumably due to illness and, like David, was sucked into the life of a Cyberpunk.
She had lived her life peering through the kaleidoscope of Night City, captivated by its glamor and promises; but try as she might to create her own happiness amid its shimmer (2:42) she could never shake the anguish of losing her kin. During a Biotechnica gig, she learns the truth about the "Securicine" painkillers her mother took while serving the military. It killed her through "gradual neurodegeneration" - a side effect undisclosed to the public to keep profits flowing. Sasha determines to leak this information at the cost of her life, holding valiantly against the security bots until the upload was complete.
Did her tip truly make a difference? Hardly. Biotechnica remains a monolithic mega enterprise, ever-present in both game and anime. And so the life of an evidently vibrant, vivacious girl burns away, and her dream of bringing down the system along with it. Just like David, just like Johnny Silverhand, and countless others in Night City. But it gave her some closure at least (3:56) You can see her older self comforting her younger self as she flatlines with a smile on her face. She was finally free.

Okay, who put these onions here?
Finally a story about the MV. Great job for explaining out the details of the MV story. RIP Sasha. :(
Night City always wins.
V's story is not over yet so as far as I believe, they will succeed in their mission unlike Johnny and the others.
"Did you know her?"
the question shook Maine from the numb sensation in the pit of his stomach. Turning his eyes from the compacted car roof which had broken Sasha's fall, he turned to the person addressing him. An EMT, red hair in a ponytail and shoulders sagging from exhaustion under her overlarge reflective jacket, looked at him with tired eyes.Behind her, her colleagues loaded a bodybag into the waiting ambulance.
"Yeah... yeah, she was a friend. Don't know how she came to be here though. Just got a call, came to stop her. Wasn't fast enough."
The woman's expression softened. "I see. I'm sorry for your loss. Can we ask for your signature to say you'll take care of funeral services?"
Maine's jaw clenched. Sasha deserved better than becoming a can of ash in the Crematorium, but anything above that cost eddies that he didn't have right now. Mulling it over, he knew that Sasha had some high end quickhacks slotted, and re-selling them would probably cover any cost that might come up. Getting them would be hard, though - as soon as she arrived in the city morgue, he knew she'd be picked clean by the Scavs before he could get to her. But it might help to have someone on the inside...
"Sure, I've got it. But I might need your help," Maine lent in close, his broad shoulders eclipsing her slight frame. Closer in, he saw she had a double red diamond EMP thread on her right cheekbone. "My friend had some tech that I'd like back. I know I got no right to it, but if you get it to me, I can make it worth your while."
He zipped her the 500 eddies he had spare to try and sweeten the deal. He wasn't sure it'd be enough, but when he saw her eyes widen, he knew he'd guessed right. She looked at him with an expression that told him everything - that he'd thrown her a lifeline that she desperately needed. "I'll get what you need. Meet me at Las Palapas motel in Arroyo in two days." Turning away, she headed back to the waiting ambulance, it's engine turning over as it made ready to set off.
"Hey," Maine said to her retreating back. "Who do I ask for when I get there?"
"Gloria Martinez."

At the beginning of the next fiscal year, Biotechnia released a new painkiller, a little blue pill under the brand name Defendridol. A tiny warning label on the back stated that, in some rare cases, extended usage may result in neurological side effects. It would make Biotechnia €$3.1 million in the first twelve months.
Bro what
@@LeBruno- Just something I wrote, don't know if there's anything official that explains how Gloria started doing business with Maine, but after watching the video, I thought that the paramedics would arrive to the scene, Maine is already there, and it'd be a nice way to tie it together.
Everything revolving around Edgerunner is a masterpiece in my eyes. The anime was absolutely amazing and I finally decided to watch this ED MV just to get goosebumps and get emotional as a 4 minute video, which didn't feel like 4 mins, introduced a new character that made you care in that short span

I will never emotionally recover
The fact that the lyrics fits both Lucy and David too makes me cry inside

Remember the line where they said they found Lucy as a replacement for one of their team members? This was why
well, David's character itself isn't that captivating. But when I hear this song, all I think about is Becca
@@matheussanz1952 in a way i think it was intentional, David always tries to be someone who he isn't, he always tries to accomplish someone else's dreams so basically instead of trying to be himself, he basically has little personality of his own..that's why you probably didn't enjoy him too much and I think it was on purpose

That episode where Maine goes full Cyberpsycho is super intense, after that episode ends and this song comes on has me sobbing like a baby thinking about how David was feeling in that moment. Maine was not only a parental figure after Gloria died, the father David never had, and also his teacher/mentor. Watching him Loosing his mind, killing his lover Dorio, slapping David around, dieing I front of David right after his mom, and David coming out of it with just his arms and that silent drive home afterwards, that shit was so fucking brutal.

He never killed Dorio but everything else is correct

Dawid is brilliant, can't wait to hear what he's done for Phatom Liberty. and THIS track deserves WAY more attention, but this music video is perfect as is. just needs more seen. it's the best of it all
Meeting sasha's sister in phantom liberty made this song more special then it was then to me.
They didnt have to produce this masterpiece of an animation for the music but they did.
Wonder how many untold stories there are
It's an amazing ending for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Dawid Podsiadło has composed a beautiful song that conveys a lot of melancholy, this series has a certain resemblance to the Goodfellas movie.
I agree that it is impressive, animation, song, art, and color, it's fantastic... But it is more than just the ending theme, this animation is kinda a prequel, If you watch the whole anime probably will get it :3. Maybe I'm inventing it, but It's Trigger, so probably all is calculated :3
@@lefthornet I agree, was thinking the same thing! Theyd be dumb to not make another anime, this one was S tier imo

Don't forget, Akira Yamaoka helped with the soundtrack, not only for the series, but for this song too. He is the BEST!!!
Coś ci autokorekta podsiadła
"Its not how you live, its how you die." - from Edgerunners. Think that sums up the world of cyberpunk pretty well.
there's a lot of truth to that. After all, births are rarely celebrated because no one knows who you are, but death comes after a lifelong accumulation of acts, good or bad. And only by dying can you prove that you were once alive
This song hits different when you finish Edgerunners.
@@zenmode3125 I really want to stay at your house hits different after Edgerunners because of the excited tune but the sad memories relating to it. This song just straight up hits you with depression From both the song and visuals.
but Lucy didn't remember him for how he died
she remembered him for how he lived
It's true to the original undertone of old Cyberpunk: everything have a price. And the city itself will always collect.
"A happier ending, for folks like us? Wrong City. Wrong people."
The saddest part is I am smashing this replay button. And I need to watch Sasha sacrifice every time 😢😢😢😢
i need many more cyberpunk games and more from the edgerunners... im in love so endlessly with this material
This was something special that only happens, once and a while, a rarity. A short anime, yet so fucking good. Honestly, release something like this every year to keep Cyberpunk alive, and to hype the new game up, and you have yourself a money making machine. This show is a must watch
CD Projekt Red leaked their upcoming projects which had various names, but reportedly there's a new Cyberpunk game, three new Witchers, and a completely brand new IP coming in the "near" future. I'm very excited to see where it goes and I hope it's not a nothingburger.
It’s pretty tough to release another incredible story that is on par with edgerunners. I’m sure there will be a lot of misses if they do it every year.
No i disagree, no need to milk this so often.
Unless we're talking about anime for their other series.
Mid anime bruh wth?

Dawid Podsiadło is one of the most popular and acclaimed young music artists in Poland nowadays. I'm glad he is now aiming at gaining international fame with this song. Having been familiar with his discography I can say with confidence that he will certainly succeed in this endeavour. That is what I wish for him with all my heart.

I think this song perfectly goes along side "I really want to stay at your house". The former being sang by Lucy at the beginning of edgerunners, and "Let you down" being sang by David at the end.
The lyrics are sad
And the song's sung by an actual David, too. Perfection

I'm honestly happy cyberpunk is gonna start getting some well deserved attention now. I don't think there's been a single bad mainstream cyberpunk story recently and this backs it up.

man, i never stopped loving this
Just like with 'Never Fade Away' the lyrics hit different when you complete the game, same goes for this song...you did it choom, you did it.
That's what they so masterfully pull off in FFXIV as well. Music can condition us, can emotionally impact us. We're slowly wrapped up in strings and when the time comes, the composer and storyteller have us in their web, ready to be destroyed by beautiful pieces of music with so much impact.
This piece is almost unhandable preem.
Yep exactly.
Nova T~T
That fall out the window was such a tribute to iconic Ghost in a Shell moment. But the ending was all the Cyberpunk's.
+
I was thinking of Breaking The Habit by Linkin Park. Though that itself could have been a reference idk.
this is a perfect microcosm of everything cyberpunk as a setting. it all boils down to the fact that in night city that the little guy has lost for good and can never truly win again. it doesn't matter how much people try to fight against the corps there's never a good end. the whole genre is a warning.
When she dances, and still the tears break out...trying to drown the pain in pleasure but it's always there. The kind of scars that never heal but you learn to live with.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Arcane are some of the two biggest emotional gut punches in recent history.
prob the greatest video game adaptations too, ive always despised some adaptations but these 2 are doing groundbreaking things
*Laughs in Made In Abyss*
Arcane blew this show out of the water.
Edgerunners basically shot itself in the foot by design. If they hadnt made it an anime, had animated/designed it in a way more similiar to Arcane, or even Pacific Rim: The Black it would have been 1000x better. As it is, the corniness/jankiness inherent in the design of traditional anime just made it eyeroll worthy, and at worse snicker inducing. Even the most emotional scenes were only saved in the slightest by the soundtrack. Without the soundtrack it would have been a total chucklefest at best.
@@Cryogenius333 c'mon man just say you ain't got no bitch 😂😂
