I've watched two Animes over the last couple of weeks, I've been busy so have slowed down how much I've been watching.

Mononoke - Like Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy, it is on Netflix to watch.

Now onto the quality of Mononoke, if you're into extremely strange Supernatural Horror fiction with an Historical bent, then you'll be away with this Anime, my favourite arc in particular was the one where
Spoiler:

it turns out all of the guys that Kusuriuri was talking to and playing I think it was Shogi with, were dead all along.


It won't be a universal Anime, but I personally really enjoyed it.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners - Just to be clear I've never played the Game, so I have no bias for or against the Cyberpunk franchise.

It is also on Netflix for anyone that's interested.

Now quality wise I'll start with the pro's of the Anime.

Pros:
Good Music, in particular the OP from Franz Ferdinand, but the Music in general was good, so fair play to them on that.

An interesting looking world, it's well designed, I could imagine that it would make for a good City to explore in the Video Game.

The characters were okay, nothing special, but they weren't abysmal.

Episode 3 was a fun stand alone episode imo.

Cons:
Tbh there was only really real issue that I had with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, but it was big enough to make me drop the Show after 4 episodes because I weren't going to waste my time, and that's the fact that the story was barely existent, there's a 10 episode Season and to me it felt like the first two episodes were mostly filler with one major event happening in the pilot, but the rest of the episode was filler, episode 2 was filler for the most part away from the introduction of the leading lady (which admittedly stops it from being complete filler) but nothing else really happens away from that.

Episode 3 was a good stand alone episode tbf with a fun team effort to infiltrate the bad guys type of stuff.

And episode 4 tbf was better than episodes 1 & 2, but I'm not really much of a shipper, so it wasn't really for me.

Tbf to the Anime I have watched much worse in Anime and Live Action, but it was like watching a 5/10 Anime for me, and life is too short to be watching such average content in my view.
