    thematically appropriate for the setting. Night city is fucking horrible, and no one should pretend that it isn’t.

    also, i just watched that, like, within the last couple hours recently.

    The relationship between lucy and david feels kinda forced, but other than that, 9/10 no notes.

      The question isn’t things being thematically appropriate. The question is animes that don’t sexualize minors, and Edgerunners fails at that.

        Honest question: Assuming that you’re also referring to the creepy ripperdoc porn stuff. Is that really sexualizing the underage character? It does not seem to be something that is trying to make the character sexually attractive to the viewer. It does fit in with the hypersexualized setting and acknowledge that sexual thoughts and sexual identity don’t begin at age 18.
