The original creator of the Cyberpunk 2020 IP is a big fan of Edgerunners.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the spinoff of CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 and the renowned tabletop RPG created by Mike Pondsmith, has just been released on Netflix, and it's very good indeed. It's so good, in fact, that Pondsmith himself has been sharing his love of the new anime online.
In a tweet, Rafal Jaki, executive producer and creator for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, posted an image of Pondsmith's views which he shared on the Low Sodium Cyberpunk subreddit. The Cyberpunk creator, who goes by the name Maximum Mike on Reddit, says, "Edgerunners. They f***ing nailed it."
For ppl that don’t know this is @RTalsorianGames very own Mike Pondsmith the original creator of the Cyberpunk 2020 IP posting on Reddit under his CP name Maximum Mike that we FUCKING NAILED IT with #Edgerunners. What else there is to say.. pic.twitter.com/0Ea6eNZHoYSeptember 14, 2022
Pondsmith goes on to say how he and the team at R. Talsorian Games have been eager to share how impressed they are with the anime. "It's like seeing my brain in a big screen anime," writes Pondsmith. "We've (RTG) been sitting on this for months, unable to share it with you all. Now you know." When the original visionary behind your work is this impressed, you know you've done something right.
Fans have been equally admiring of Edgerunners. "I absolutely loved it," says one Twitter user. "It took me hours after watching it to get off that high that I was left with. Absolutely brilliant. It's everything I wanted it to be and more." Another described the show as "freaking awesome".
The 10-episode anime is a collaborative effort between CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger and tells the story of "a street kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future." If you're looking for something to watch over the weekend, it's worth checking out.

It’s honestly kind of scary how many horror movies there are. Obviously, it’s scary because that’s the point of the genre, but it’s also daunting to try to comprehend the sheer number of horror movies out there. Which ones are essential viewing? What at the hidden gems? And, which ones are the best? Shudder’s new documentary series, The 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments of All Time, might be as close as horror-lovers will get to a “definitive” round-up of the best the genre has to offer, though
When it comes to horror movies, there isn’t a whole lot that we haven’t seen: mask-wearing killers, extraterrestrial life, monsters that take on every form imaginable, paranormal activity, witches that lurk in the woods, possessed dolls — inexplicable, albeit obvious terrors that are expected to strike fear. But a smile? The universal expression that, for the most part, indicates happiness, joy, and amusement, and in turn, evokes calm and ease in others? Not exactly horror material — until now.
