They've said that it's a standalone story. I honestly hope there's a bit better pacing and it's a story over 2 seasons perhaps. Would be able to go into more things in depth and more details of characters relationships with one another.

I might be reading too much into this but I think they're going for an anthology feel with the show and if there's ever Cyberpunk Edgerunners 3 it would once again focus on yet another group of characters. That's just how I interpreted Sztybor's words though.
Yeah I'm sure that's what they will do.
But I can still hope for a story told over two seasons.
Not a fan of Studio Trigger and I thought the first season was a tad bit overrated but I did enjoy it for how it adapted the very franchise that opened me up to trying anime in the first place, so I'm interested.
I think that to some extent this comes down to a simple fact that for many people, like yourself, Edgerunners was their first into the world of anime - depending on one's media literacy and experience this might sway their opinion one way or another. Besides, that's not just a problem with Edgerunners, you could say the same about folks for whom Cyberpunk 2077 was their first experience with cyberpunk as a genre.
While not perfect, it's a solid show overall and if it serves as a gateway deeper into the rabbit hole then I'd say it's worth the praise.
Really fucking hooe they cook on this. First one was really good but the hard part is gonna be not relying too much on the story from the first one.
I hope a completely new set of characters
Writer was pretty clear about David's fate in the article and mentioned wanting to tell more stories with "many interesting characters". Besides, season 2 is described as a standalone story so more than likely.
Well.... Yeah. Obviously it's going to have to be
There could be some crossover somehow.
