I don't know if i should be scared or happy. Edgerunners was such an amazing show and together with Devilman Crybaby a breath of fresh air. Shows that put people back to the 80's and 90's OVA days.

i would not mind seeing TRIGGER do this again, but i would love if it was another studio tellen their story in this rich world.

If Trigger's not involved then I'm not interested.

I am not looking forward to it. What really made the show was the creative imagination and talent of Trigger, not so much the setting. Cyberpsychosis was a relatively minor things in the game, at least at the time of release of the anime, and Trigger expanded upon the flavor texts and made a wonderful gang/crime tragedy. From the interviews from game developers and Trigger staff, Trigger was the one who was really leading the story development in the anime. In fact, with the "the Loli Stays" story, CDP almost dropped the most popular character in the anime but Trigger saved Rebecca, there is reason to at least question their decisions concerning an anime show. That is why I am hesitant for this announcement.

So basically you'd only be interested if Trigger returned. Got it.

Yeah I wonder why the company handling the video game which Edgerunners was adapted from and who had a supervisory role in the production would be involved in overseeing decisions made on the anime.

Not to mention your interpretation of the facts is a bit sensational.

After how successful Edgerunners was, I'm not surprised though I hope Trigger is involved again.

I only watched Edge Runners because Trigger was doing it. No Trigger - fat pass.
Edge runners was al-right, a bit basic for me. Maybe you have to play the game to get it.

I feel like Edgerunners created so much positive PR and buzz for this franchise and company that ended up being squandered and not really capitalized on as well as it could have. There's a lot of people who don't like the game but really loved Edgerunners.

I don't know if this is also going to be Studio Trigger or more of a western production though

As someone who thought the Cyberpunk anime was fairly average compared to Trigger's own original works, I think there's a lot of potential here for other studios to play in this world. Imagine Science SARU's take on Cyberpunk.

If you liked Egderunners, Rafal Jaki, the showrunner, is writing a manga in Jump+/Manga Plus: No\Name

Yeah. I'd love TRIGGER to return, but I wouldn't mind another studio if the end product is just as good. Science SARU has really been crackin' lately, I can't wait to see their Ghost in the Shell!
