Trivia
The full version of the show's ending theme "Let You Down" was used in a promotional animated music video released a day before the anime's Netflix debut and acts as a prequel to the show. It centered around netrunner Sasha Yakovleva on her last mission as part of Maine's crew before she was replaced by netrunner Kiwi.

Goofs
James Norris, the Cyberpsycho in the opening, is referred to as both a Lieutenant Colonel and a 2nd Lieutenant, which are two vastly different Army officer ranks.

Everything the game could have been

I had mixed feelings going into this anime, because of the bitter taste Cyberpunk 2077 had left me with. I liked the game, I was fortunate enough to be able to play the game, but I couldn't help but feel cheated , because the game I played, was not the one I had been promised for 8 years, and definitely not the one I thought I would play.

So I got into this anime with low expectations. I am glad I've been proven wrong.

This anime is almost everything the game should have been, but wasn't.

Striking animation and visuals : check. Compelling story and interesting characters: check. Riveting on-theme music: check. Fast paced and entertaining: check. True to the Cyberpunk sub-genre: check.

It takes place in Nightcity, as envisioned by Mike Pondsmith and CDPR , only without the bugs and crashes hehe. People who have played the game, will undoubtedly recognize many of Nightcity's neighborhoods, streets, bars etc, which is a plus, because regardless of the status of the game, Nightcity was very striking, and in the anime, it is even better.

It is a very well made, entertaining anime, and the best part is that you don't have to be a Cyberpunk fan to enjoy it, I believe it can be enjoyed by everyone, because it is so well made. A solid 8/10 from me.
