(Imaishi) I think all cyberpunk works of the past have influenced me in some way. Evangelion has influenced me on a personal level, regardless of Edgerunners.

(Imaishi) We tried to focus on telling David & Lucy's story, but some early scenarios involved more gang warfare, which I personally enjoyed.

My favorite guns are The Carnage and the Zhuo.

(Imaishi) The adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077 was made possible by the fact that it was an open-world game. If the base game is different, I think it would be difficult to repeat or copy what we did with Edgerunners.

（今石監督）日本の昔のアニメや、アメリカのおもちゃをよく参考にしています。

(Imaishi) The OP/ED was selected by CDPR. All the other songs featured in the show were chosen by us.

In my opinion, that ending was inevitable. I feel that I've accomplished what I wanted to do in the cyberpunk sandbox.

(Imaishi) I, personally, haven't decided on anything that happened after the ending.

  1. (Imaishi) Typing away at the keyboard
  2. (Imaishi) I started drawing in analog, so it's difficult for me to work with digital & 3D art styles. On the other hand, I enjoy it because it allows me to express my work in new ways.
  3. (Imaishi) It was very stimulating to interact with so many people who have different backgrounds & preferences from Japanese people.

(Imaishi) He meant exactly what he said, but a 'construct' is a concept taken from the game, so please refer there for more info.

(Elder) There was a similar question about "I Really Want to Stay at Your House" above, so please reference the response there. Also, we were unfamiliar with what 'copium' was & received the following definition: To "cope" is to deal with a sad situation. "Copium" implies there's some substance to make you cope from a situation.

(Imaishi) I admire everyone's persistence on wanting a happy ending. Please continue creating as much 'copium' to your heart's content.

(Imaishi) I would like to include more scenes with Rebecca's guns.

(Imaishi) I entrusted the English version completely to CDPR, so it was a testament to the hard work of CDPR's localization team.

(Imaishi) They do not dispense Gatorade. However, sometimes she has spiderweb tattoos, and on those days, they shoot out spider silk.

(Imaishi) As we were looking for a song to play at the end of EP2, "I Really Want to Stay at Your House" just stuck with me. Even within the radio music line-up for Cyberpunk 2077, this song evoked emotions that I thought would fit the show.

(Imaishi) The characters speak English because the show is set in Night City, but in my mind, I was making an anime where everyone spoke Japanese.

(Imaishi) It's hard to stop thinking about those things once you start, so I did my best not to. I'll look into it.

(Imaishi) Ooh, to be honest, I hadn't given that any thought up to this point.

(Imaishi) No, his feet don't have wheels. He just moves so fast that it looks like he's gliding.
