5 Things We Liked, and 3 We Didn’t, About Cyberpunk Edgerunners

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners | Opening Credits | Netflix

Okay, this is pretty picky for what is otherwise a pretty great show: while the visuals of Edgerunners’ opening title sequence are as slick and as stylish as the rest of the series, the choice for it to not use an original track or something more fitting than Franz Ferdinand’s “This Fffire” is unhinged. The show itself does a great job of blending an original score from Akira Yamaoka with licensed music that fits the sci-fi world of Night City episode to episode, but this just… feels odd.

Picky, but come on, in the world of anime, the opening is important to nail, and this just doesn’t quite work.
