I knew they had to give a sad ending but the way they killed off the other crew members is still bitter imo. Damn im still salty about becca's death lol

Yes, I couldn't agree more. It feels a bit bitter how they killed Rebecca. David was predictable but i'm not sure if he is really death or not. See my statement above. But I don't really feel bad about him maybe because I don't have any confirmation if he is really death or not. But I feel more bad about Rebecca, that she died. Lucy did survived, but she has mentally issue's but she is a very strong character. I felt that she had the most emotions in the entire serie. Not only do I feel bad about Rebecca, I also feel bad that we don't see more of Lucy. She was for me the strongest character in the serie.

David went out in a blaze of glory, as he also has a drink in The Afterlife. His jacket is also an item you can wear in the game :)

There are no happy endings in Night City.

Thanks Trigger, I can always rely on you to make me feel miserable, can’t I?

Finished this show just now, and I'm glad it's over. I wasn't trying to keep my expectations high since Trigger's disappointed me for the past few years but knowing that Imaishi was directing this, I did have a hint of optimism. But overall, this show was too rushed, so chaotic and messy to the point of just being fully bored of it so quickly, and having that only get worse and worse till the final episode. This is one of the worst shows of the year for me, a show that oozed style early on but with how tired I was of the story, characters and pacing of this show, the less I could give a shit about the visuals side of things (and even that wasn't as great as I was hoping for). Even the music while having its good moments, were a mess in other moments and how it was used with scenes in an obnoxious fashion. Not a single character I found to be likable or interesting either, not like the pacing did justice to the characters unlike some other Trigger/Gainax series in the past like a Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, Gurren Lagann, etc. Best things about the show was the ending song/visuals and the opening being done by Franz Ferdinand. That was nice. The rest of this show I would probably forget about in a day or two and move on. The show might look good but the action scenes didn't really capture my interest either, was expecting way more on that front but left underwhelmed in the end.

This show and Darling in the FranXX are probably my lowest rated Trigger works together. Such a shame but there weren't many moments where I felt optimistic or positive about the show while watching it, and the final few episodes and the ending did nothing to change my opinion there. Haven't played the game myself by the way so I don't know if that would play some kind of part in this, but this was just a lame show overall. Kind of a depressing day watching this show, right after the Spurs loss to Sporting and a hectic day of uni lol. Would even say this show is one of the weakest shows of the year given how there isn't many redeemable elements to it considering some level of expectations there, even if I was trying to not go too high with it.

I was thinking about the ones that praise the show like its the second coming of cyber-jesus too, lol.

Honestly, this had me crying a lot more than I expected, more than any other anime, show, game, or movie I have seen. I knew it was coming but man, it was hard to watch without the tears rolling down my face. Course the music definitely sets the mood for that too, and that is one area I always had to give credit to CDPR for, the music in the series is top notch and very memorable. It has that thing where when you hear it, it makes you want to play the game again.

Also, why kill best girl Rebecca? Dang it! XD, I have a whole new reason to want to kill Adam Smasher in the game now.

With all that said, David is a much better character than V, in my opinion. And watching this, I do kind of wish the game was more similar to this anime, where you get to run with a crew as fun as these characters before things go sour. The game often just feels like things go sour right away, and then you are just fighting against it all the way till your dead. It almost feels pointless to make connections during that point in the game because you are dying, but it's also the only real point in the game where you can make those connections.

But I suppose I shouldn't rant about the game here. The anime was awesome, and I have to say I am going to give it a 10/10.

Modernoir said:

Have you seen it yourself? It's a solid show that was clearly made with a lot of love, I think the praise is pretty well-earned. A solid consistent story with a great end is hard to come by these days.

YumYumBeans said:
I understand people being upset David died. After all, who wouldn't want a happy David and Lucy ending. But this is Cyberpunk. This is Night City. There are no happy endings in Night City. It's a shithole. Rebecca dying the way she did is peak a peak Night City moment. People just die, and for no good reason.

Hell, even the game doesn't really have a happy ending. All routes are rather bleak.
