Only two weeks until the Cyberpunk: Edgerunner anime series becomes available on the Netflix streaming service on September 13. To hype up the fans, Netflix has released an NSFW trailer for the upcoming anime series, and after watching the recent trailer, we can promise you that this series will be filled with gore scenes.
The Cyberpunk: Edgerunner anime series is a solo 10-episode story about a street boy fighting to survive in Night Society, a futuristic city fascinated with technology and body alteration. With little to lose, he survives as an edgerunner, a mercenary outlaw known as Cyberpunk.
The Cyberpunk Edgerunner trailer, as seen above, has a very fast tempo, is full of action scenes, and has some nude moments (Netflix dubbed the trailer “NSFW Trailer”). A techno version of Beethoven’s hymn to joy can be heard in the background.
The trailer video is also accompanied by a new key visual of the series solely dedicated to Lucy, one of the series’ main protagonists. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will premiere on Netflix on September 13, consisting of ten episodes, each with a run time of 30 minutes.
The series is being produced by CD PROJEKT RED, the company behind the video game Cyberpunk 2077, with Rafa Jaki (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher: Ronin) as Showrunner.
Since 2018, the CD PROJEKT RED team has been working on this new series. Studio Trigger (Star Wars: Vision), a renowned Japanese animation studio, will act as the series’ animation studio, bringing the world of Cyberpunk to life with their trademark colourful style.
The series will be directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Promare), with creative director Hiromi Wakabayashi (Kill la Kill), character designer and animation director Yoh Yoshinari (Little Witch Academia, BNA: Brand New Animal), and an adapted screenplay by Yoshiki Usa (GRIDMAN UNIVERSE series, Promare) and Masahiko Otsuka (Star Wars: Akira Yamaoka will write the original score (Silent Hill series.
