Reasons:
-
It is stunning to look at.
-
The jazzy soundtrack is a pleasure to you ears and is worth rewatching for that reason alone.
-
The subject matter. The most recent episode >! The two teenage characters enter a cult ruled by an Ai. They give themselves to it completely, relinquishing their own freewill. What they don't understand is that this AI was made to have a lust for power as some sort of experiment. The cult is preparing for a festival where they will all commit suicide because the Ai told them to.!< An excellent commentary on the growing dependence on the very thing we're experiencing in the real world.
Have you seen the show yet? I'd like to know what you think so far.

It’s on my to watch List, I didn’t think it was Cyberpunk though?
I know the creator was involved with Cowboy Bebop, reminds me a bit of the Brain Scratch episode by the sounds of it.
Great action scenes. But the acrobatics of one of the characters kinds of throws it off for me mostly because seems like that’s his go-to when he has a whole other bag of tricks. I also think that he a rip off Spike Speagle in some way. Cartoon Network is trying really hard to recreate the magic of cowboy Bebop and I think It’s hindering the creative process and limiting what’s possible.
