[[File:Cyberpunk Edgerunners Poster.jpg|thumb]]
'''''Cyberpunk: Edgerunners''''' is an [[anime]] based off of ''[[Cyberpunk 2077]]'', and by extension the ''[[Cyberpunk (role-playing game)|Cyberpunk]]'' tabletop role playing games.
David Martinez is a lower-class teenager living in Night City along his mom, who works as paramedic. She struggles to pay the bills, and in school David is mistreated by some of the other students because the school that he attends, Arasaka Academy, is mostly attended by students of higher classes thanks to its expensive tuition. One day while returning from school after David has caused an incident there by using pirated software, he and his mom are the victims of a car accident caused by criminals.
David's mom is left into a coma and then dies, but not before David receives a beating from a school bully who taunts him about his mother being possibly a prostitute. David also finds a cybernetic implant called the Sandevistan when he is given back his things from the wreckage of the accident; this is an item that the criminals tried to obtain but which was mistaken for his property. Initially he tries to sell it, but after his mom dies, he seeks the help of a back-alley cyber-criminal called "the Doctor" to implant the thing in himself.
It was made by [[Studio Trigger]] and released in 2022. It is available to stream on [[Netflix]] [https://www.netflix.com/title/81054853 here].
