Completed a couple of shows

Mob Psycho 100 Season 3

Nice conclusion to the series. I especially liked the insert song Exist.

The story isn't special or anything. It is well-executed though, enough for me to enjoy it.

Overall, I rate the entire series 8 / 10.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

I was drawn in by the corporate dystopian premise. Also, David is a likeable protagonist.

The similarities to Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans and Witch from Mercury makes this a non-Gundam Gundam series to me, which I usually like.

Unfortunately, it suffered from the poor communication trope (or whatever it is called), which reduced my enjoyment of it.

Tap for spoiler

If Lucy talked to David about the information she gleaned from Tanaka, things could have been different.

She deserved the ending she got.

Good enough to keep me entertained. 7 / 10

poor communication trope

One that bothers me a lot is closely related to this is the "suddenly no cell signal", or "suddenly out of battery" trope in cases where one text or call would release all the drama.
