    One thing to note about Adam Smasher is that Mike Pondsmith (the original creator of cyberbunk and its characters) has said that Adam Smasher is a "high functioning" cyberpsycho. The guy is for all intents and purposes a cyberpsycho, he obsesses over cyberware (considering it vastly superior to organic or natural parts of a person), is ruthless and brutally violent, but he exhibits a level of control that pretty much no one else has been known to have, this basically allows him to keep things under control until he chooses to let go at whoever it is he is tasked with taking down (or alternatively chooses to let go on). When people (particularly Arasaka) hire him, its with the understanding that he will kill anyone and destroy anything, he doesn't take people alive and normally doesn't leave much behind of those he kills.

      ​@@icedquokkaAdam Smasher is pretty much evil incarnate. Arasaka sends him when they don't care about subtlety and he is known to mow down innocents just to get to one person. He was an absolute misanthropic psychopath before he was given the armor platform, now he's just happy that he's able to carry bigger guns and explosives to kill a lot more people.

    I finished watching it yesterday, I cried a lot for about 20 minutes, but what really broke me was the fact that Lucy's dream was to go to the moon, but then she realized that her moon was David.
    Too bad he didn't realized this, it made me cry even more.
    And if you pay attention to the end credits, is how she reacted after everything. Walked in sadness, smoked, went and bathed, couldn’t stop hurting, got out and still hurt, then remembered about the moon.

    This show was so good.. I think for only 10 episodes I wouldn’t change a thing about it. The whole crew was legendary.
    There’s also an animated music video for the song from the credits “let you down” featuring some familiar faces from Edgerunners, whether you post your reaction or not it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for more from the cyberpunk universe!

    Thinking about it, this show almost follows the format of a classical Greek tragedy: the hubris of men (David thinking that he is special and rules don't apply) and miscommunication leading to death and tragedy for everyone, and everybody dying by the end. The thing that would make it a complete Greek tragedy would be if Lucy, having nothing left to live for, takes off her helmet in the final scene. (Which is kind of what I expected to happen, but the game implies that Lucy came back from the Moon and left notes on everybody's graves at the columbarium.)

    This was the first ever anime i watched, being the first I didn’t realise the level of emotion that they can portray in anime, i related to a lot of things in this show so that ending hit me like an absolute truck, it was on my mind constantly for a good week after, it’s been at least 6 months since I watched it and it still makes me feel shitty thinking about it, I’m absolutely convinced the writers of this show went through some real shit in life and just wanted us to feel some of that pain… and it worked.

    Also, the reason Adam Smasher didn't die was because he's also a menacing villain you encounter a few times in the videogame set a year after the show.
    I love this show and one of the things I absolutely admire was that they stick to the rule of Night City; there is no happy endings. When you are powerful, there is always someone one step above you. Adam Smasher represents this showing that no character has (apart from of course the main character, V, in the videogame) plot armour, anyone could die at any moment and David was in comparision to alot of Night City livers, just another person to bite the dust.
    Also to add, something that a lot of people had recognised was that Lucy might have felt worse going to the moon, with some sort of guilt. Lucy's dream was to go to the moon, but it's not what she needed; it's what she wanted. She slowly became more attached to the idea of being with David whilst he didn't realise, and that slowly became more of a dream to her.. so going to the moon might of not fulfilled how she wanted everything to go..
    if only they were able to go to the moon together. 😭

    so the thing about cyberpsychosis is its quite heavily about your psychology and mentally coping with being 'not human',, Adam Smasher has achieved this by being a Functional Sociopath, he dosnt like people and genuinely enjoys splattering people but rather than go nuts and kill everyone in sight until dropped by MaxTac he has enough common sense to 'make a deal with saka' so he nominally obeys them and in return gets given their 'murder all these people hard' jobs and is now in a happy place, he's in his dream job, the important part being, even if Smasher was a pure organic person,,,, He would be EXACTLY the same person, the shell he's in dosnt matter cause he's never really been human
