Forum Overview :: The Netflix Instant Forum :: Cyberstunk: Edgyrunners

[quote name="David and the Technicyber Dreamcoat"]It's the Avalanche crew of Final Fantasy 7, starring in Final Fantasy 7 presents: Ghost in the Shell. Tifa entices Cloud to join Barret's crew, but don't get too attached to Jesse, Vicks, and Wedge as they plan a strike against President Shinra. Ghost in the Shell at its heart was an autistic adult pervert clumsily trying to be philosophical. Edgerunners' is a 12 year old boy pervert trying to be philosophical. GitS at least had some landmark action setpieces. Edgerunners just has the protagonist use bullet time, which means everything else freezes still <s>to save on the animation budget</s> while he moves slowly. Not in a Matrix way, but in a really gay Marilyn Diptych way. The setups are structured like a heist movie, except they just anticlimactically fail. At everything. Everyone dies to completely random stuff unrelated to heists. It's like watching The Usual Suspects but the entire cast dies to a drunk driver, random mugging, and overdose before they even reach the boat. I normally would just shrug at Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and say, "It sure is anime." But I'm seeing nothing but raving reviews how it's one of the best animated adaptation ever. What did they watch?
