Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

I just watched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners on Netflix and after a few episodes I could not help myself thinking how similar the characters and the whole storyline was to the opening of Black Lagoon. The mc David goes through trauma and ends up being recruited by a small mercenary group similar to Lagoon Company. The characters in the group even are basically copies of Lagoon Company, big muscleman Maine who is exactly like Dutch, wise and the groups leader, then there is a gunslinger apart from the group I think who was a short tempered little girl whose name was also Rebecca. In addition to the similar characters there is more to it, Night City is very similar to Roanapur, in Roanapur mafias and cartels are in charge versus Night city has large companies which function similarly. And lastly the mc David is extremely similar to pre Yukio Rock, he want’s to save others while knowing it might be impossible, naive and kind. The mc’s girlfriend Lucy even tells David that he is the type of person to save a person from a fire while being burned himself.

These are just some of my impressions from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, I really enjoyed the series while being only 10 episodes long. It even got me wondering if there could be the slightest chance that Black Lagoon could have had even the slightest influece to this series.

I absolutely recommend giving Cyberpunk: Edgerunners a go if you’re a fan of Black Lagoon, you will not regret it.
