Last month during the streaming service's virtual fan event Geeked Week, anime fans were treated to some previews of Netflix's upcoming animation line-up. One anime, in particular, that's been sparking some serious attention is Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, produced by CD PROJEKT RED (Cyberpunk 2077) and Studio Trigger (Promare, Little Witch Academia, Kill La Kill). Directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Promare) and featuring an original score composed by Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill), the 10-episode Cyberpunk: Edgerunners focuses on a street kid trying to survive in a technology- and body-modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an edgerunner — a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk. But even though we still have a few months to go until it hits our screens (which means there's time for another trailer or two), viewers are being awarded for their patience with a look at the opening credits visuals.
