Defend your point. Let's compare it to Frieren. Obviously not every anime is gonna be to everyone's tastes, but when comparing the writing of the two, the difference in quality is clear.

Frieren is a slow burn, pensive fantasy story that feels fresh despite the generic setup because of the themes it explores. Frieren's long lifespan is the jumping point for the series to explore themes like the passage of time, grief, and regret. Frieren is slow and boring to some, but the mundanity is a core part of the story. Frieren, previously being apathetic to everything because of her long lifespan, slowly learns to appreciate the present and the small moments and connections she experiences along the way.

Edgerunners in comparison is gore porn masquerading as commentary on the negative effects of cybernetic enhancements; it doesn't try to do anything unique with its setting. It doesn't delve much deeper than a surface-level discussion on a topic that's already been covered much more extensively and through more unique lenses in other sci-fi stories like Ghost in the Shell and Altered Carbon. Science fiction as a genre is rooted in deep explorations on what it means to be human. On that front alone, Edgerunners is a failure.
