Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I'm thrilled to see the release of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners soundtrack. The music in this anime series is absolutely incredible, and it perfectly captures the dark and gritty atmosphere of the cyberpunk world. I love the mix of electronic, rock, and hip-hop tracks, and I think it's a great representation of the diversity of music that can be found in the cyberpunk genre.
I'm also really impressed with the way the music is used in the anime. It's not just background noise; it's an integral part of the storytelling. The music helps to create tension, suspense, and excitement, and it really enhances the overall experience of watching the anime. I highly recommend checking out the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners soundtrack if you're a fan of the anime or if you're just looking for some great new music to listen to.
