Cyberpunk Edgerunners Finale Reaction & Review | My Moon My Man | Netflix & Studio Trigger 

When you realize Lucy stopped smoking cigarettes when she fell in love with David because he said “I don’t like smoke”. I still haven’t recovered.

Eyup, this episode is as painful as it gets. Can't wait to watch the reaction. And guys, you better watch the official video for "Let You Down" by Dawid Podsiadło, the outro song of the show. The video has a story of its own that ties in to the show!

Rebecca needs her own drink in the afterlife Edit: i just learned she cant 😢😢 in her first scene there EMMERICK denied her entry and then when david helped her sneak inside she was a Rogue fan girl, I love Becca but unfortunately she was just a regular girl who grew up in NC nothing special 😢😢😢 on my 3rdplaythrough now and i cant decide if to pick up her shotgun or leave it there as her tombstone 😢

I loved this show I also cried on episode 10, David had a great arc from losing his mom to losing main while carrying there legacy's because lost them but falling for Lucy made him live somewhat in the moment and find his own dream which is giving her a happy life for her going to the moon, he even died for there shared dream that is true love if you ask me, while giving his death meaning as in completing mains and gloria's dreams by always running and getting to the top of atoka tower and getting back at the Corparation, love your vids keep up the content

i really should stop watching reactions to this. it can't be good for my mental health

It’s as if a million cyberpunk fans screamed out in pain, and redownloaded 2077 to kill Adam Smasher again.

The relationship between David and Rebecca is also one of the best in the show. Even when Rebecca knows at this point that her love won't really manifest, she supports David's actions and stays with him till the end. The best Homie David had in his crew.

Easily the most underrated emotional moment for me is David talking to his mother while going crazy. It's such a great set of moments

There’s no shame in men crying, we have emotions and can respond to emotional storytelling too goddamnit

The reason David has a serious resistance to going cyberpsycho is because he had people around him that care for him. Mike Pondsmith went into detail while explaining why V and David are rare exceptions to that rule.

David became a legend because of what he did in these last two episodes. Destroying Militech Convoy Reaching the top of Arasaka Rescuing someone from them Going against Adam Smasher

Johnny Silverhand said it the best to V, when he said he wishes for a happier ending. "Here, for folks like us? Wrong city, wrong people."

They managed to tell such a great story in just 10 short episodes. With so little time they found the perfect balance between action, drama, comedy and a beautiful love story. The tragic ending really made it special. Even though most people obviously want a happy ending in situations like this it shouldn’t have ended any other way.

Did you get the symbology that in the end David was Lucy's real moon of happyness so even when she achived her "dream" of going to the moon all she could think about was David... 😭

David being ADHD and the weight of being called special is something I never interpreted or even considered but as soon as you said it, hit me like a ton of bricks. It makes so much sense

*pulls chairs, pours and offer drinks* Welcome to the "This Broke me" club. Best anime series I've seen in awhile. And an unforseen savior of the game too. Glad to have experienced it despite the sad feels.

Fun fact, when Lucy sees David on the moon at the end of the Series, Shes seeing whats called a "Virtue". In the game 2077, its mentioned that when someone does a Brain Dance, they can save Mental Images from it, and bring it up. Like a recording. She can visually Recall David on the moon whenever she wants. Thats why Lucy is my favorite from the show. Her Dream can never come true, because she only wanted David to live on D:

The thing that kills me about this show is how a lack of communication between people who really cared for each other is basically what created a bit of a spiraling downfall; but in a way that happens to us A WHOLE lot. Like we fixate on trying to do what's best for people we care for, but we often chasing the things that matter less than our presence. She's sneaking off to protect him from Arasaka recovering data about him, so when it's a trap and she goes missing he can't know something is wrong; she knows he's chasing fulfilling a dream that isn't "his," and assumes it's Maine's, but He's so rapped up in getting her to the moon that his "life," the thing that is most important to her, is irrelevant. She was already on the (proverbial) moon... AND REBECCA DESERVED BETTER.

The fact that becca showed so much love towards David and all she wanted was for him to be happy, knowing that she isnt that girl that could is amazing and makes me emotional like a little baby

been waiting to see your reaction to this ever since you guys started episode 1. UGLY CRYING INCOMING 😂😭

I predict a lot of sadness

The moment where David starts saying "yes mom, I will go to the top of Arasaka" I literally just tear up every time.

A year later so you prolly won't see this, but I want you to know that you can find David's memorial in Cyberpunk 2077 now. The epitaph says: "You didn't take me to the moon, but you were there with me."

I love how even in his cyberpsychotic state, David still had enough of him left to reject Smasher's offer. I can't help but feel that Smasher maybe had a little bit of respect for David in that moment (just a tiny bit though) before killing him.

Thank you for giving us your raw and honest feedback on the finale, and fully embracing your emotions and being so present in the moment.

At least you could cry, I couldn't cry even when I wanted, so much emptiness about the ending. 10/10 anime.

can’t lie, that’s exactly how i reacted to this episode i was holding up until they started playing the song, it took me literal days to recover and give that song a listen without tearing up again

Im not crying, you're crying! 😭*literally sobbing* glad yall enjoyed the show, such a surprise outta nowhere

Fun facts: - In the bar Afterlife there are various drinks named after fallen legends of Night City. One of them is called David Martinez. It was there before the show even came out - In the latest update, various weapons from the characters of the show have been added to the game. We can see now a surging trend of people going after Adam Smasher using Rebecca’s guns. Now it is truly personal - Rebecca was almost not added to the show. When Trigger first gave the character concept to CD Projekt, they looked at her small stature and said she had a loli character design and that lolis don’t fit in the Cyberpunk world. Trigger insisted that “The loli stays!” and so she did. - In episode 6 you mentioned the detail of focusing on Lucy in the car while the action is taking place and about her survivor’s guilt. But there are more layers to it, when you have the context that the whole mess took place because of her actions. She short-circuited Tanaka to protect David. This short-circuit was what interfered with their jammer and allowed the Trauma Team to get the signal. If David had not survived after going for Maine, Lucy would’ve lost everything for nothing while sitting in that car. There are other details that make it worth it to re-watch episode 6. Like Lucy acting surprised and worried asking “What? Why?” when David says they stabilised Tanaka. This reaction only makes full sense when you have the context given later

The fact that we all got so connected to the crew in such a short amount of episodes is still so impressive to me. I was absolutely annihilated by this episode as well.

While I was rewatching the show I noticed in episode 3 when Maine tells David he's part of the crew, he also tells him " ain't no one in this world you can trust" the first person David looks at is Kiwi.

Being told I was "gifted", or "special", or that I could "do anything you want," and it destroyed me as a kid. I believed it, but I had ADHD, and no one knew what to do. So I just kept on thinking it was my fault for underperforming. Now I have a personality disorder ontop of it all, so...yay! The tragedy of David's character hit me so hard!

My gf doesnt see me cry often, and i ain't gonna watch this show with her again. Holy moly episode 10 really broke my dam.

I kinda hope this story ends here. If there's a season 2, keep it separate from this story. At most have Falco and Lucy cameo, maybe even V, but I want newer concepts and characters. It'd be cool if they pull a Love Death Robots and have different animation studios work on it. I'd personally love to see some cyberpunk body horror / psychological horror to explore the fashion and culture of that world. Edgerunners did a good job at visualizing cyberpsychosis that it'd be cool to iterate more on that theme and see how it looks, beyond murdering people in glorious and explosive fashion, and show the terrifying nature of seeing someone both physically and psychologically morph into something gross and inhuman.

It's been weeks already. I cannot get over the ending. I honestly can't think of a single other media that had this lasting effect on me. I loved the game and expected something at least good, but nothing could've prepared me for this.

Girl 1 "He didn't cry at the titanic" Girl 2 "Do men even have feelings?" Men"..." 13:28

You guys came along way since the first two episodes. Almost as big of a comeback that Cyberpunk 2077 is currently getting 😅 I'll never make fun of another man's tears. This story hits hard. Hope zombie Becca gets plenty of brains. Thanks for the series reaction.

When Rebecca died I had the same expression on my face the first time seeing it. Man this series is too damned good.

That final episode hit harder than Adam Smasher hit Becca…

You guys are so adorable. I love your raw emotion, and being willing to share it with us. *hugs*

Crying again so hard with you both. I think I listened to the ending song over and over for a week. This anime hit me so hard emotionally and I had grown so attached to Rebecca. Thank you both. You both captured the themes perfectly.

Don't worry David someone else will take up the mantle and defeat Adam Smasher

Who would've guessed from the start of this series that David was the manic pixie dream boy all along.

I have watched this series 5 times. I have cried every time. I am also a guy, and my wife tells me I am an ugly crier, still cry every time.

The scene with Lucy on the moon alone without david and realizing her dream is not that good without david broke my hearts so frakin much. One of the saddest scenes in a series by far!

Man kiwi is such a misunderstood character. She didn't want to betray anyone. What happened was Faraday knew kiwi was a skilled runner from manes crew so he hired her to help him with his job which was to catch the ghost runner killing arasaka runners. Kiwi did not know at the time that it was Lucy because Lucy didn't tell anyone. Kiwi found out it was Lucy at the ambush but at that time she couldn't turn back. If she had Faraday would report to arasaka that kiwi botched the plan or if she killed Faraday arasaka would know that kiwi did it either way she would be hunted by a corporation for the rest of her life. As soon as she accepted the job she was doomed to betray her friends or die. Any other action from kiwi would have resulted in her being hunted down by a corporation. After she learned she was betrayed as well her final action was to make sure everyone knew what was up. Night city isn't a place that gives you a choice.

"You think you're special because you're scrappy? Dont make me laugh!"

This story really resonates with a lot of men because of David's journey from boy to man, having to become something he wasn't to protect and provide for those he loves, in the end giving his whole life so those he loves can survive and reach their dreams. What a legend. Also that song hits you right in the feels. so good.

This show fully broke me. I was a hardcore fan of CP2077 since it launched, despite its issues. I had super high hopes for Edgerunners and it delivered. But man it really made me realize, there are no happy endings in Night City. It really is a prison, and it immersed me so much more realizing that. I still haven't gotten it in me to jump back into Night City yet since watching.

I sobbed at the ending. I was so blown when Becca died. She was such a great character. Excellent show and for those who looked past all the criticism of the game and played it will find this even more enriching.

Oh God! It’s Adam Smasher from the top rope!

I think it won’t have season 2, this end is sad af but perfect😢

One of the few animes that made me actually feel actual sadness. Studio Trigger did a amazing job! Hopefully they will do another anime for Cyberpunk! Also, praying Lucy makes it into the expansion 🙏🏼

You should also check out other anime like Attack on Titan. ;)

you know you've got a hit show when people flood back to the main game and give instant revenge. the fact trigger started making this before the game was even in alpha just shows that the staff and artists behind this gave everything and became a passion project. this truly was Studio Trigger's A team. PS we all cried........

I need to emotionally prepare myself. It’s been a long time since an anime stuck with me days after watching it.

Anyone else notice how often “I really wanna stay at your house” plays in 2077? I get in a car, it’s playing on the radio. I get out and start running to my objective, it’s playing somewhere on the streets. I’m like “whyyyyyy!?!? 😭”

Where real men cried............

I always Wear Davids Jacket as V ingame, After this show i couldnt stop thinking about this depressing end, and the Musik MY GOD!

Not sure if I have already posted this, but I really suggest watching the end credit, it tells an interesting story. I like to think of it as the aftermath of the opening, especially after the final episode. The credit song is on my playlist, it's amazing. I tear up more during this song than "I really want to stay at your house"

"What Now?": KILL ADAM SMASHER IN CYBERPUNK 2077

I already finished the anime and cried... I came to watch the best react and cried again

I thought of something the other day, but didn't want to say it until you'd seen the end. During the first episode you mentioned that they didn't show how David was special to make you care about him as a character. I realized they turned it around, during the whole series they made you care about David, and during this last episode they showed why he was special. Even with all the cybernetics, and everything he went through, and the medicine that he was told would shoot him past the event horizon of cyberpsychosis, he still pulled himself together and stayed himself even at the end. Also, I heard Mike Pondsmith said that if David's mother hadn't died, or if David had been involved with Rebecca, who was constantly there for him and supportive, instead of Lucy, who was more aloof and distant, David wouldn't have ever been at risk of cyberpsychosis. So, Rebecca was, apparently, confirmed as the best girl.

Rebecca was the ultimate ride or die. She loved David and knew he'd never look her way, and you can see the exact moment when she knows she won't make it back, and goes anyway. She died helping him get his love back and loved him to the end.

I love Cyberpunk narratives so much. I knew what was coming and it still hit like a truck- the dire world and dire circumstances suffocating the individual but people doing the absolute best they can in their circumstance, and finding love and little victories.. despite it all. 😭

okay you guys win the internet with this one. it's so awesome that you were able to show your emotions and support each other emotionally. that's so rare. great show, equally great reaction. sorry for the earlier critical comments; you definitely won me over with this one. first time doing a 180 like this, your channel is awesome and i'll be watching all your stuff moving forward.

I grew up seeing that kind of things in real life and I know real life Davids.

いっぱい泣いてくれてありがとう。国は違うけれど、同じアニメで共感できたことに、感謝します。

this shit is gonna hurt forever, I just can't with that last scene 12:12 that makes it hurt more

I just finished and im crying on the floor right now

Yup thats Cyberpunk in a nutshell. There is no happy endings. You're lucky if you're able to die on your own terms. Doesnt matter who you are. Wrong people at the wrong time

I found this channel recently because of the reactions to Cyberpunk edgerunners, and it has definitely been an amazing new journey for me, to be able to experience seeing others go through the same thing I went through while watching the series, I feel better now knowing that I wasn't the only one left heartbroken and empty, thanks Nerdy and Clarus keep up the hard work!

There’s something comforting in seeing how I’m not the only guy who was bought to tears by this show. In a society we’re we are told to just laugh or smile, it’s good to be able express our sadness and our tears. You are all awesome!

Блять, как же приятно, когда эмоции разных людей из разных стран, с разным менталитетом совпадают.

In a way David did win! He made it to the top of Arasaka Tower, he finished the job that Maine worked for, he got Lucy to the moon! Most of all he was 100% sane before he died

"What the hell did you expect?" "I don't know. I guess a better outcome for everyone involved." "For folks like us? Wrong city. Wrong people."

It was a real pleasure watching you two go through the same feelings i went, it certainly was an incredible journey and the show hit me hard on many levels also due to it reflecting lots of things in real life. I started working out again more in earnest due to reading a sentence someone wrote of what to do to cope with the show. "Work out so you can one day get your Lucy to the moon without going cyberpsycho along the way." God bless!

I can point the exact moment their hearts had shattered :DDD

Just for Context there is a way to Cure Cyberpsychosis. Mike Pondsmith, the guy who created Cyberpunk has said that cyberpsychosis can be cured by love. It's Human connection that helps a person recover from it and love is the strongest form of connection. That is why David is this resistant, his Love for Lucy litteraly keeps him sane.

I'm right there with you dude, finally finished this show yesterday and omg, I was tearing up throughout the whole finale and finally broke down during that moon shot of David and Lucy. Also when Becca died, she didn't deserve that, I thought she was gonna make it

david brought her to the moon but to lucy he was already the moon, the entire night sky, and all of its stars too.. well im gonna go back to crying now

When you show people that you follow with your heart, then they can be given a chance to care back. N sometimes they actually do.

Has anyone else noticed that David’s eyes went from that cyber psycho state slowly back to normal when he rescued Lucy?

One of the only reactions where someone knew how bad the construct line was.

You guys are beautiful people. Its refreshing to see true emotions on the internet, I never thought you'll were gross. I bawled my eyes out watching this show, and re balled my eyes out watching you all watch it here. I love the cyberpunk genre, and with the new 1.6 patch out and Edgerunners, it's got me back to playing 2077, and I may actually finish it now. I really wanna play something in this type of world with a ttrpg rule set. You guys be safe.

Where men cried too... the show hit me so hard and i still feel it... oh man...

Castlevania: Dark but we gonna give ya happy end Arcane: we gonna make you miss us so bad Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Yeah hold my beer cuz you only gonna watch us once!!!

What Smasher does to David at the end is what the studio did to our hearts and feelings in throughout this show, especially in this episode. Goddamn you, Trigger, you're amazing.

Love how the intro foreshadowed David's death with being shot in the head with a figure standing over him I felt such a sense of sad joy at the end of this show and it just felt amazing 😭❤️ Brains for Rebeca 💔😭💔

Never deleted the game, killed Smasher hundred times, 1000+ hours gaming Cyberpunk 2077, cried with series too

Just literally discovered you guys today after finishing watching the show myself this morning. I had heard people were recommending it, but hadn't looked too much into it to avoid spoilers. I honestly wasn't ready for the show to hit as hard as it did. It was painfully beautiful. I honestly think I enjoyed it more than Arcane just because of how unexpectedly I found myself caring for the characters. Don't get me wrong, Arcane is still very good (especially those visuals), but the characters didn't resonate the same with me as Edgerunners did. Seeing David grow into such a memorable character so fast. Seeing Lucy change as she got the feels (even stopped smoking because he didn't like it). The descent of Maine, Rebecca's tough yet caring side towards David in the last couple episodes. Everything was just beautiful. It was so quick of a show but so dense in the roller coaster it took us on.

cough cough EMOTIONAL DAMAGE three episodes of TV managed to make me bawl my eyes out: Body in Buffy, finale of Person of Interest and this finale.

This absolutely crushed me too, I've been into the franchise for a while with the ttrpg and what not but none of that material, the roleplaying or the video game hit me quite like this anime did. Great reaction series guys - definitely subbing for future content.

I understand you man My fcking god this last episode was a mountain of feelings man and i cried too

Just finished it last night and I’m still crying tbh. One of the best things I’ve ever watched.

4:00 "He's probably neurodivergent which explains why he he's so resilient" No need to bring ADHD into this, Mike Pondsmith already broke down resiliency to cyberpsychosis in general and David in particular.

“Aim high and go out with a bang.” They went in a blaze of glory. Can’t ask for more in NC

You just gave a very cute reaction something I feel like when u cried my just heart gets broke and sometimes I also just cried from inside the body

I think this was one of the best analysis of the metaphors and life lessons from the show. Well done.

The "implication" that David is neurodivergent (like ADHD) does not exist. Cyberpsychosis is a psychological effect that has much to do with your personality. Essentially, the more moral and optimistic you are, the higher your tolerance is against cyberpsychosis. The reason he had a higher tolerance was his innocent, optimistic outlook on life. As the stresses of the city wore him down, he slowly lost his innocence, then his humanity. His leg shaking has nothing do with adhd, it's a direct symptom of early cyberpsychosis. He is stressed tf out, and that stress is having both psychological and physiological effects on him. The ripperdoc literally lists shakes as one of the early signs, and the show demonstrated that during Maine's decent into cyberpsychosis as well.
