As pointed out by GameSpot, when “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” was first released on Netflix, the anime had some very noticeable errors when it came to its subtitles. Specifically, the focus was on the misspelling of the show’s original slang terms, like “choom,” “IC,” and even “edgerunner” itself. These words were often misspelled or misinterpreted, respectively, as “chume,” “eyes,” and “headrunner.” According to the article, CD Projekt Red quickly fixed these mistakes, and now the show is presumably mostly free of these errors.
Naturally, mistakes are going to happen when the show is available in so many languages, and the person or persons transcribing the show and crafting the subtitles many not have English as their primary language. However, it likely did make it a confusing watch at times for those watching it in its original Japanese language form with inconsistent English subtitles, likely more so for those viewers who are unfamiliar with the slang terms present in “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.” The fact that CD Projekt Red fixed the issues so quickly is an encouraging sign from the company, but it’s still more than a little strange that Netflix didn’t perform more quality control tests before releasing the anime to the public.
