Okay, with so many of you ch0oo0Oming about Edgerunners all over this thread, I checked out some YouTube clips and it looked... weird? The abrupt scene succession, the strident colours and close-up angles, it was hard to follow, I had to physically roll my chair back from the screen. I'm not an anime connoisseur, just seen GitS and a handful of other stuff, but I've never had this sort of reaction before. Is it just me or is there something genuinely awkward about the visuals?

P.S. Watched the "car chase" clip, with the Tyger Claws in pursuit and the 6-wheeler ping-ponging into the opposite lane. What the fuck is this shit? I've seen more grounded physics from Wile E. Coyote.

Yeah, I didn't like the visuals either. I basically "watched it" on a second monitor while gaming, so basically half paid attention and didn't see all that much of the visuals. Followed the story perfectly fine and probably enjoyed it more that way. I'm not an anime fan these days, but I felt that this cartoon captured the cyberpunk mood and bleakness very well.

This is the director's thing. Blame Hiroyuki Imaishi for this. Personally I love his style. Edgerunners gives me flashbacks to one of his earlier works called Dead Leaves.

On the internet, writing shit posts.
Yeah, that sort of colour palette, design and disregard for physics is very Trigger.
Personally I didn't like the car chase sequences in the couple last episodes that much.
I mean, they're not show ruining, it's just that I couldn't take it seriously because it was like something out of Blues Brothers.
I keep expecting Falco or Rebecca to yell out "we're on a mission from God!" as they cause a 6 militech car pile up.

I have a couple of friends who like anime but they aren't really weebs. I do force them to watch a lot of Trigger stuff with me though. Both of them said exactly this at the end of the car chase scene. This is the kind of stuff that makes me love Trigger because I'm a huge fan of absurdity.

Try to just enjoy it instead of criticizing every detail. There's an awesome story in there if you give it a chance.

That and I tend to find absurdity funny as well. Other than that, who watches anime for realism? And it's the sort of gonzo thing that'd happen in a tabletop session my buddies and I played back in the day. YMMV

I don't have Netflix but I'll give it a shot once it inevitably ends up on YouTube. Give it some time and they'll get lax with the takedowns.

It's not that, I just literally found those clips hard on the eyes, difficult to focus on. Professional reflex, I guess, I'm quite finicky about visual schemes and layouts. It's one of the things I like about the Codex, actually, lovely colour scheme, easy to read.

Fair enough. I hate the weird pastel colour palette of the thing, myself. I don't mind the art or anything, but the colours are brutal.

Why didn't you let me, CDPR? WHY?!

what bugged me is that pedestrians got cool holo clothes. Are they available to PC now or still not?
