I really like how they set up the mystery of Gloria's funding over the first three episodes, and how she was able to send David to Corpo College. There's little snippets that get dropped, but it comes very nicely together to set up Episode 3.
We see David in a woefully poor neighborhood.
We see Gloria working as a "meat wagon" paramedic who picked up the dead Cyberpsycho on a rampage at the start of episode 1, as opposed to the better-funded Trauma Team. There's some small references to how the cyberpsycho was missing some implants, and we later see those implants in the apartment, but we don't have the full picture just yet.
David is questioned about how his mom is able to fund him going to school, and David also manages to find a surprisingly wealthy bank account to fund Gloria's surgery.
This was the "Payday" Gloria was constantly alleging to in Episode 1. Her normal job was never going to be able to pay for the tuition, or the repairs to the Academy's fancy room. But since Gloria had a direct connection to edgerunners for selling implants pulled off of dead people, she could easily flip the gear around for good dollars as opposed to how much David could get by selling it off to the ripperdoc. It's a very good payoff to a series of small mysteries, and set up the mom as a very interesting character beyond the "hardworking single parent" trope, and even after her death.

I really like the boss…actually he might straight up the nicest guy since the series started which is kinda wild, good advice as well instead of manipulating him
I wonder if David is gonna go ham with the implants, I don’t think that could end well…hopefully he doesn’t over do it
The chase with all those sandevistan uses was wild but I wonder how in the hell did David manage to not get his brain, might be because they were multiple but short activations of the sandevistan?

Yeah at the beginning of the episode I’m thinking he was gonna be a hard ass and basically tell Dee he has to pay the money back with interest otherwise he’s toast. But immediately calms down a bit and even shows respect when he learns that he’s Gloria’s kid

Honorable mention for nicest guy must be given to the academy's principal:
He's one of the few characters in the show to show genuine human compassion, when he talks face to face with David and Gloria in his office and he sympathizes with them even though David screwed up the school's computer system and cost them a lot of money. In fact, he's the one who brings it up, not out of a sense of being mean, but being concerned.
Then compare that to: the Trauma Team ignoring David and his mom on the highway, the doctor at the clinic who says "well, she only had the discount package, soooo too bad", David's buddy ripperdoc friend who still only cares about money and initially only agrees to install the implant because he figured he'd get it for free in a few weeks anyway, and all of the mentions of people saying "this is why a corpo job/insurance ain't bad"

Hella strong "Fast and Furious" vibes from the third act holy moly.
Dave feels like Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) when he first entered the gang family.
Favorite episode so far.

Love the music. Please someone help me find the song they played during the celebration when David is talking to Maine

Cyberpunk 2077 always had great music. The soundtrack is really good which I’m guessing they’re using here

Maine is best boss bro! Although after last episode I'm a bit scared of everyone betraying David. This shows put me on edge

Never thought I'd see Giancarlo Esposito in an anime dub but here we are. We've already had Bryan Cranston doing work back in the day, guess he didn't want Waltuh to outdo him.

I like how it's kinda janky with the car scene when had to run over the divider. Reminds me of when I played the game.

His driving was 100% a reference to the game. I pulled almost the exact same fender benders the first time I drove in the game. Just immediately crashing into the sidewalk.

I hope that was a reference to the janky driving in the game lol. I was laughing

I’m currently playing the game for the first time, and oh boy apparently the one thing we have IRL they don’t is power steering…

The day he becomes able to drink those things without reacting is gonna be quite sad, right now he is still a kid and he could still get out of the trap, even if there's another trap waiting for him

Kinda seems like his problem isn't with beer specifically, but anything fizzy.

Another great episode! Love the new crew. Very much like the game. Also I had to laugh a bit at the end. This kid was betrayed and sold off pretty brutally and he still in love with the girl lol. Hope it ends well.

And the people that jumped him are offering him a job, especially since at least they are pretty reasonable since from their perspective he took something from them.
Trigger going ham on that gore.
The Arm guy freaks me out.
Rebecca is thicc and short, makes a nice contrast to Lucy.
Surprised David isn't sus on why the school would be practically begging him to come back with a scholarship, on a sidenote it's kinda stupid of him to abuse that implant in such a showboating fashion he did at school last episode, just asking for trouble.
11
level 1
Well, these guys turned out to be pretty cool (ignoring the fact that they would've ripped the implant off his back if it wasn't for his mom). Still, you can get the sense that Maine genuinely cares for those part of his crew with the fact that he paid upfront just because Gloria said she needed it, and that he stopped considering tearing his implant off then and there the moment he learned he was her kid. So yeah, I already know it's gonna suck if any of Maine and his crew bite the dust.
Dunno if it was on purpose, but it's hilarious how the janky car chase looks like it belongs in the game itself. It's also neat how David found a way to circumvent the toll of using his implants by activating it for only split seconds during the chase.

level 1
At the end of the episode did Lucy have sex with that freaky arms guy?
7
level 2
I didn't see it that way. I think there's no answer to it necessarily (inb4 the next episode does answer it lol), I think what's important is David's perception of the situation there.
The way the scene is framed it looks like David is thinking that Lucy did have sex with the guy, which makes him depressed. Whether she had sex or not isn't really relevant for the narrative.

level 1
In this episode the mood finally starts to lightens up, and we see David make his first step into the underground scene. I guess the first 2 episode were mainly focused on giving us David's backstory, and quite successful at that.
Did anyone notice the subbed version of it has Maine calling Rebecca Berca? Spelt ''BECCA'' on screen, but maine pronounced it differently, and she introduces herself as Rebecca in the end.
That high way chase scene! Thought hose 2 bikers looked like Tiger & Bunny at first glance! Also it was really cool to see Lucy using the monowire again, as well as the mantis blade on the Tigerclaw biker, and Maine's projectile launcher.
The Mizutani, the 6 wheel cadilac, the monk in the first ep...I'm consistently glad all those little details from the game are shown in the anime, the immersion is truely next level- it just feel like Night City!
And that Faraday- so scary! That 3 eye prosthetic sure is cool huh?
And kinda funny now the lrinciple gotta beg David to come back to school. Lol!
Also Maine is really looking to be a great boss. Looks like David's got himeself a new crew/family!

Am I wrong or right after David showing the trick with the cigarette (guess 5th minute of the episode) , there is playing the song form Parasite Eve or Resident Evil game ??? I totally remember this melody from the childhood

I mean I like the story, but the animation seems a bit off to me or I've just grown out of the animesque styles

level 2
I don't know why you were downvoted because there are clearly some places where the animation is better than others. In some parts it's like they didn't animate enough frames and the result is super choppy. The quality seems to be all over the place but the good parts look really good to me.
