The War Report

My boy David went out in a blaze of glory. 
Animation was on point. Really showed the brutality and the despair of this world. I actually gave a shyt about the main characters. The life of a cyberpunk is short lived.

Cranked this up. A damn good start 
Expands upon the lore of the videogame in some good ways

This shyt is fire.
Girl on Fire / Episode 6 is where it took off into legendary status. They definitely understood the assignment on this one, covered all the beats from the game and tied it up in a stylish complete package. If it wasn't for how much lore is speedran by, I would say this is a better showcase of the franchise than the game itself. goddam.
Might have to load the game up for a few hours and just catch a vibe.

I do think there are some inconsistencies with cyberpsychosis in how the game describes it and how the anime describes it. In the game people are full on androids, like 90% machine and they are living with it fine.
Like that pop star Lizzy that fully incased herself in metal. There are a lot of regular degular and wealthy people are are more than half machine in the game and nothing is wrong with them.
In the show they make it seem like just getting one too many cyberware enhancements will make you go crazy. This feels very specific to the show, as a lot of cyber psychos in the game dont look like main just regular dudes with enhancements.

That's really not how it works. While every implant does carry inherent risk to a degree, there's no real flat % like that.
Proper post-treatment is important too if you read the logs as well - and all rippers aren't created equal. But the dermal stuff is treated like cosmetics more or less. Even Arasaka had no issue doing the same to their hospitality teams. If that type of thing were a major risk, they'd never have their low rung workers gold-plated and escorting VIPs.
They make it clear that there's efforts to downplay cyberpsychosis altogether too. Also in the game you've got people welded to shyt they threw together in their trailer parks, paranoia gradually taking over slowly with some, and one guy legit comes back from the dead more or less....

Is this supposed to be a social commentary on drugs in the real world? Rich and wealthy are mostly ok doing designer drugs, while poor are strung out on heroin and meth?
