    From D@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 15 23:39:41 2024
    Dear rasw:ers,

    Please forgive me for leaving the politics aside for a moment. I just
    wanted to share that lacking new cyberpunk:ish movies, I've been forced
    into the anime realm, and started to watch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12590266/).

    If you're not into animated japanese movies, it could be a bit of a turn
    off, but I do find it to be a charming fantasy of a future dystopian
    cyberpunk setting.

    I'm only 2 episodes in, but so far, I think they've done quite a good job
    with the concept.

    Now, after this brief interruption, let's get back to the Entry Denied
    2000 product and other political goodness! ;)

    I highly recommend _Mars Express_.

    And _Pantheon_ if you haven't seen it yet. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11680642/

    and started to watch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12590266/).

    Based on the _Cyberpunk 2077_ video game.

    I'm only 2 episodes in, but so far, I think they've done quite a good job with the concept.

    I liked the first half or so, but eventually it became too...
    exaggerated.

    Mars Express and Pantheon are on the TV computer. Both looked very
    promising. Thank you very much for the recommendation!

    To be watched.

    Wow! Pantheon had a great start so far! I find it very well researched,
    and so far no cringe moments in terms of technology from me! For anyone
    who enjoys exploring the transhumanist utopia of uploading I do recommend
    it unless you are put off by animated series.

    Thank you very much for this recommendation!

    True, but it kind of kept "in character", so I was not disappointed even
    if the style was very violent.
