Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is an anime based off of Cyberpunk 2077, and by extension the Cyberpunk tabletop role playing games.

It was made by Studio Trigger and released in 2022. It is available to stream on Netflix.

Tropes used in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners include:
  • Advert-Overloaded Future: A holographic pillar of ads is visible in the very first scene.
  • Crapsack World: Night City has a lot of crime and societal problems.
  • Cyberpunk: It's in the name.
  • Cyborg: Common in the setting. Some characters have more cybernetic augmentations than others.
  • Guns Akimbo: Used by the cyberpsycho against MaxTac.
  • Made of Iron: The cyberpscyho in the intro is seemingly unaffected by the hail of police bullets. The MaxTac agents called in afterwards are also this, and take bulletfire at close range without flinching.
  • Missing Mom: Gloria Martinez shortly after the start of the show.
