Edit: just rewatched the first episode, not as bad as I remember.

I only saw the first episode, but it felt like a standard post-2010 Trigger anime to me.

I mean, it won anime of the year in 2023, and best English VA performance too. The story is flat out phenomenal. You're doing yourself a disservice by not giving it a fair chance.

I watched most of My Hero Acidemia and Hunter X Hunter, and I don't see the appeal. The Cyberpunk pilot, to me, felt ungrounded. The mc hacking with ease appeals more to a power fantasy rather than a reflection of any meaningful character ability. And the dialogue was painfully on the nose, the MC warning about highway bandits 10 seconds before being attacked made me think that they never wrote a second draft of the script.

I'll watch if someday, and I appreciate your enjoyment of the show, but I just don't see what others see in it, from the pilot.

You’re misusing the term pilot. A pilot is a one off episode produced for the sole reason of garnering interest and securing funding for a longer run of a show. Cyberpunk didn’t have a pilot. You just didn’t like the first episode, which is fine, but most people that watch the show come to the same conclusion, it was indeed phenomenal.

I rewatched the first episode a few minutes ago. It's not as bad as I remember haha. I still take issues with the arbitary power levels.

That’s because you don’t have the full story would be my guess.
