Unsurprisingly, most of the aesthetics seen in the show excellently represent the Cyberpunk genre.
It wouldn't be hyperbole to say that this show is one of the best-looking anime of all time. The sheer amount of effort put into Cyberpunk: Edgerunner's visuals is exemplary. However, readers should know that it's not just a pretty show.

Now that readers have a general idea of what's executed well, it's worth mentioning a few aspects of the anime that some may not like. Here is a quick rundown:
- Raunchy scenes (including actual nudity)
- Gore
- Pacing can be a bit too quick sometimes
The first two reasons are merely subjective. On the flipside, it's refreshing to see a mature anime like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

Even if those mature themes are right up your alley, it is worth mentioning that the pacing sometimes seems a little bit off. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has a good story that can seem rushed at times. Since this article is intended to be spoiler-free, specific examples can't be listed.
