Shows that feel likeCyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022–)

In a dystopia riddled with corruption and cybernetic implants, a talented but reckless street kid strives to become a mercenary outlaw — an edgerunner.

If you loved Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the closest series we have are Star Trek: Picard (2020), Akame ga Kill! (2014) and Vinland Saga (2019). All three share Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Into the Badlands (2015).

A naive kid joins the underworld and learns nobody gets out clean

The difference: Cheaper-looking and tonally jumpy between gore and gags

A bleak world where your worth is a number branded onto you

The difference: Ecchi gags keep undercutting the grim premise it sets up

In a post-apocalyptic world dominated by the so-called "Numbers," each human will have their identity branded with their own "Count," which could define any number related to their life. May it be one's walked distance or amount of compliments given to them by others, this Count could lead them to the abyss when it has dropped to zero. In the year 305 of the Alcian calendar, Hina has inherited a mission from her Mother, whose Count has depreciated to zero, to search for the Legendary Red Baron. In her adventure, she meets a half-masked swordsman named Licht who tries to hide his identity, as he is known as a degenerate for having an incredibly low Count.
