The good folks from Anime Limited have sent us news that they'll be releasing Cyberpunk Edgerunners on Blu-ray in 2025. The stand alone story set in the same universe as video game Cyberpunk 2077, means you can watch it without having played any of the original game. The anime by studio Trigger (who are also response for the anime version of Delicious in Dungeon) tells the story of street wise kid David Martinez trying to survive the dark dystopian world of Night City.

The anime was hugely successfully with anime fans, it won a ton of awards including Crunchyroll Anime of Year (even though it was onNetflix) and increased the popularity of Cyberpunk2077.

Beware, the story is self contained, you don't need to have played any of the video game to understand it, or get into or anything, but after watching it, you'll really want to play the game if you haven't or get back into if you have.

It was one our favourite anime shows of 2022. The soundtrack is also full of hits, Franz Ferdinand's This Fffire sets the scene as the opening theme and gets you in the mood for some anti authoritarian action, but when I Really Want to Stay at Your House by Let's Eat Grandma (Rosa Walton aka Hallie Coggins in Cyberpunk 2077) starts to play, you'll be in tears.
