What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

This was mentioned a couple months ago. I checked it out yesterday at a friend's house -- the tone is kind of interesting, a lot different than the first preview (which was linked to back then) suggests.
The second preview (linked above) gives more of a feel of it. It's in the "isekai" genre, meaning he's in another world. Specifically, his fantasy world merged with a cyberpunk world in a way that is glossed over (those details are rarely important in the isekai genre.) so the main guy is presented as a "fish out of water" in a somewhat comedic way. Like the 2nd preview shows, the guy's a demon lord, but he's in a cyberpunk world, and to gain "followers" and thus gain power he becomes a streamer. Yeah, like a video game streamer. Anyway, it's the sort of thing you have to be in the mood for. I only watched a couple episodes while gaming, specifically of the "dubbed" version.
Here's a "recap" of the story of the first couple episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBG65MT33og You'll note some shots reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell and Akira.
The show already looked kinda weird to me but now that you've confirmed it's isekai I think I can safely skip it. Thanks for the update though, I'm glad to have more details about it!
