Chapter 204 - Chapter 203: RELIC

Chapter 203: RELIC

Kenji continued to introduce Edgerunners in the narration and praised every aspect of Edgerunners.

"The setting and background of Edgerunners are brilliant. It tells the story of a deformed future world, completely controlled and divided by capitalist corporations, when capitalism is not restrained at all."

"Here, human rights are completely unprotected. Humans are even like consumables that can be consumed and replaced at any time."

"And in the technological context, the cyberpunk world has also developed powerful prosthetics..."

"...Humans even have to undergo prosthetic transformation at birth to connect their brains to the network and receive and send information like a computer at any time."

The story of Edgerunners is, actually, very old-fashioned. From the perspective of the male protagonist, David, it is after his mother's accident that he meets the female protagonist, Lucy...

The boy meets the girl and falls in love. David then meets a kind and reliable older brother, a gentle and considerate older sister-in-law, and a very cute and irritable loli who is in love with him.

This is the traditional routine of a passionate shonen manga. After meeting his friends, the boy gradually becomes stronger, becomes the savior of the world, and finally defeats the evil and powerful enemy.

While Kenji was introducing the plot, the barrage was full of...

"Oh, yes, yes, Edgerunners is a passionate shonen manga!"

"I don't believe you!"

"It hurts! It hurts too much!"

"Maine, wuwuwuwu, my big brother Maine!"

"My Rebecca! Wuwuwu, old rogue Silverhand, you have such a cruel heart!"

"Rebecca is really like that."

...

But Kenji continued in the video, "But the plot of such a passionate shonen manga can only become a tragedy in such an unfavorable context as cyberpunk."

"David and Lucy can only achieve a touch of brilliance under the gray torrent of the times, but they will eventually sink."

"The story of Edgerunners is, actually, just like its name. A group of desperate people who were already walking on the edge of the abyss finally fell into the infinite abyss under the impact of the torrent of the times, and then shattered."

"This story was doomed from the beginning, just as in the myth that Xingtian furiously challenged the Heavenly Emperor, but in the end, he could not avoid death."

"But when the moment came when David fell from the top of Arasaka Tower with Lucy in his arms, it was still full of helplessness and tragedy, but it was hard to accept..."

"Everyone hoped that at that moment, David would easily kill Adam Smasher with the help of the Cyberware and then take Lucy to the moon."

But the end can only be that David dies at the hands of Adam Smasher, and Lucy, with the dream of "landing on the moon" that was once hers, but was now given to her by David, went to the moon to complete her final journey.

When Kenji said this, there was another barrage of comments:

"Wuwuwuwu, I'm going to die!"

"Adam Smasher! You deserve to die!"

"Alright! Adam Smasher, right! Wait in Arasaka Tower, I, V Zhentian, will bring Silverhand to kill you!"

"Your name is Adam Smasher, right! Wait until I get to Arasaka Tower and I'll take off your hood!"

"David has no dreams of his own and has always lived for others, wuwuwuwu!"

"Put vodka in a shot glass and mix it with a little Coke!"

"Live large, die gloriously!"

...

The man in the video continued:

"Besides the male and female protagonists, David and Lucy, Edgerunners also created a group of good characters."

"In the sixth episode, the famous scene of the older brother, Maine, showed us what responsibility and commitment are."

"Although Maine was also to blame for Dolio's death and the team's failure, his fault cannot hide that he is a good older brother. In other words, it is Maine's mistakes that make this character more real."

"Yes, compared to those perfect older brothers who never make mistakes, in reality, we are all ordinary people and we make mistakes sometimes."

"And the kind sister-in-law Dolio, who still knows how to defend herself when the team needs her; the driver Falco, who doesn't have much of a leading role in normal times, but doesn't disappoint at critical moments..."

"Rebecca, the irritable loli who has always loved David and protected him, and even Kiwi, who betrayed David and Lucy, but finally came to her senses."

The creation of these characters is so real, like the colleagues and friends who surround us in our daily lives, that it seems they could be our friends and companions.

And the cyberpunk world seems to be our future world.

As the original author, Ren, said, cyberpunk is the worst possible outcome according to our real world.

And the value of the work itself lies in using a fantasy story to remind us what is good and what is bad.

Finally, as I said before, the work Edgerunners is, in my opinion, the strongest queen of the March series. Or, to be more daring, although we are barely in April and this year is not yet over. But Edgerunners can already be considered the best anime of the year. Well, this episode ends here.

Friends who like it, don't forget to give it three links and forward to support!

Ren was a little reluctant. Indeed, this type of video complaining about the series is really good.

Furthermore, he was generous and offered three links: like, coin, and collection.

Anyway, he has a ton of coins.

Whether complaining about bad series or praising good series, as long as it can connect with the audience, it's easy to satisfy them.

After all, it's the result of an emotional value.

What everyone likes most is the feeling of identity.

It's a shame that this Penzijun seems to have released his first video. There are no other videos besides this one when opening the main page.

However... I think this UP owner will release more videos in the future.

After all, judging by the current number of views and coins for this video, he should be able to get a few thousand yen in creative incentive income.

This is just for now, and there should be more in the future.

Now, the main focus of B Station is to invest money to make a name for itself, and all membership fees earned are used to give to UP owners as creative incentives.

Ren then scrolled through the videos again and saw some good, high-quality creations.

For example, a boy was making peripherals and accessories from Edgerunners or Cyberpunk 2077.

He even created an accessory for the game called Relic, which has not yet been officially released.

The degree of completion seems quite good, so Ren also gave it a thumbs up and invested coins.
