不知道提到賽博朋克，大家腦子里跳出來的第一畫面是什么？

?

黑客？人工智能？虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)？仿生人？這些其實(shí)都是賽博朋克的常見元素。

?
所謂“賽博朋克“，英文名是Cyberpunk，是“控制論、神經(jīng)機(jī)械學(xué)”與“朋克”的結(jié)合詞。該背景大多描繪在未來，建立于“低端生活與高等科技結(jié)合”的基礎(chǔ)上，擁有先進(jìn)科學(xué)技術(shù)，再以一定程度崩壞的社會(huì)結(jié)構(gòu)做對(duì)比。

?

?
圍繞著賽博朋克這個(gè)主題衍生出的作品也層出不窮。
?
像我們熟知的電影《黑客帝國》：
?
?
動(dòng)畫短片《愛，死亡，機(jī)器人》：
?
?
動(dòng)漫作品《超世紀(jì)福音戰(zhàn)士》：
?
?
諸如此類的作品都可以算作在賽博朋克這個(gè)大框架之下的代表，但似乎帶著“賽博朋克”這個(gè)標(biāo)簽的產(chǎn)物質(zhì)量也是良莠不齊。
?
2020年知名公司CD PROJEKT RED所發(fā)行的游戲作品《賽博朋克2077》便在發(fā)行后飽受詬病，可能是因?yàn)橛螒蚯捌谛l(fā)效果很好，讓許多玩家對(duì)游戲的心理預(yù)期提到很高。然而在正式上線后，層出不窮的BUG，玩法的閹割，系統(tǒng)的崩潰，導(dǎo)致了游戲的風(fēng)評(píng)幾近崩盤。
?
?
今年，在網(wǎng)飛以及動(dòng)畫工作室Studio Trigger的聯(lián)合打造之下，《賽博朋克：邊緣行者》這一游戲改編動(dòng)畫作品面世。

?

?
截至目前，豆瓣八萬+人評(píng)分9.0，爛番茄鮮度100%，爆米花指數(shù)96%，IMDB8.5，收割了一眾國內(nèi)國外影評(píng)網(wǎng)站的超高評(píng)價(jià)。

The plot centers around one David Martinez, a young punk living in the fictional dystopian, Sci-fi metropolis of “Night City.” David exists in a state of existential frustration as he attends a private school for self-absorbed, classist brats, with only his loving mom, Gloria, as company.?
故事圍繞著大衛(wèi)·馬丁內(nèi)斯展開，他是一個(gè)年輕的朋克，生活在虛構(gòu)的反烏托邦科幻大都市“夜之城”。大衛(wèi)生活在一種存在主義的沮喪狀態(tài)中，因?yàn)樗M(jìn)入了一所私立學(xué)校，那里的學(xué)生都是自私自利的階級(jí)主義者，只有他可愛的媽媽格洛麗亞陪伴。
?
?
After a terrible twist of fate, David comes across military-grade cybernetics his Mom had been smuggling, and decides to “chrome up,” by implanting them inside his body.?
在經(jīng)歷了可怕的命運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)折后，大衛(wèi)偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了他母親走私的軍用控制儀，他決定進(jìn)行“改造”，將它們植入自己的體內(nèi)。
?
?
From there, David eventually meets Lucy, a “Netrunner,” a futuristic hacker who winds up getting David involved in her crew of? “Edgerunners,” futuristic mercs, “fixers” and smugglers who skirt the edge of the law and mortality to get jobs done for big payouts.?
在改造時(shí)，大衛(wèi)遇到了露西，她是一個(gè)未來主義的黑客，名叫“網(wǎng)絡(luò)行者”，她最終讓大衛(wèi)加入了她的“邊緣行者”團(tuán)隊(duì)，這是一個(gè)未來主義的雇傭兵、“中間人”和走私者，他們繞過法律和死亡的邊緣，完成任務(wù)，獲得巨額報(bào)酬。
?
?
David then quickly falls for Lucy as he tries to help Lucy fulfill her dreams while being pursued by the mega-corporations that rule over the city.
而大衛(wèi)很快就愛上了露西，他試圖幫助露西實(shí)現(xiàn)她的夢(mèng)想，但同時(shí)也被統(tǒng)治這座城市的大公司追殺。
?
?
With the show’s amazing animation, score, direction and writing it can be hard to point to which specific element that cements this animated production as one of the best shows of the year.?
這部劇的動(dòng)畫、配樂、導(dǎo)演和編劇都非常出色，很難指出哪一個(gè)具體的元素讓這部動(dòng)畫作品成為本年度最好的劇集之一。
?
?
The animation and design by Yoh Yoshinari are a visual feast as he uses his talents and experience gained from working on classics like “Neon Genesis Evangelion” to create exhilarating and heart wrenching sequences throughout the series while also giving the main cast and even side characters designs that make each of them stand out.?
吉成曜的動(dòng)畫和設(shè)計(jì)是一場視覺盛宴，他利用自己的才華和在《新世紀(jì)福音戰(zhàn)士》等經(jīng)典作品中獲得的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，在整個(gè)系列中創(chuàng)造了令人振奮和揪心的鏡頭，同時(shí)也為主要角色甚至支線角色設(shè)計(jì)，使他們每個(gè)人都脫穎而出。
?
?
The animation is worth repeating as the show is breathtakingly R-rated! Even the trailer has brutal action sequences and other graphic imagery all synchronized to Beethoven’s Ode to Joy! With bright colors and fast-paced animation that shocks and exhilarates the audience with each shot.?
這部動(dòng)畫值得重復(fù)觀看，因?yàn)樗谙拗萍?jí)影片中的表現(xiàn)也是驚人!甚至預(yù)告片也有殘酷的動(dòng)作場面，甚至還有一些畫面和貝多芬的歡樂頌聯(lián)動(dòng)!明亮的色彩和快節(jié)奏的動(dòng)畫，每一個(gè)鏡頭都讓觀眾震驚和興奮。
?
?
Some audiences may take umbrage with the level of graphic content on display, but it would’ve been to the show’s detriment if the visuals were toned down and wouldn’t fit with the setting.
一些觀眾可能會(huì)對(duì)展示的圖像內(nèi)容的水平感到不滿，但如果視覺效果被淡化，與場景設(shè)定不符，這將導(dǎo)致對(duì)最終的呈現(xiàn)效果有所影響。
?
?
Akira Yamaoka, famous for composing the Silent Hill franchise, serves as the show’s composer, and Studio Trigger could not have chosen a better composer for this job.?
因創(chuàng)作《寂靜嶺》系列而聞名的山岡明擔(dān)任這部劇的作曲家，而Trigger工作室很難找到更好的作曲家來完成這項(xiàng)工作。
?
Yamaoka’s skills shine, with beautiful and poignant tracks to emphasize the melodrama and tragedy, especially with how he integrates standout songs like “I Really Wanna Stay at Your House,” by songwriter Rosa Walton that are so raw at times that helps make the audience shed a few tears.?
山岡的技巧非常出色，優(yōu)美而尖銳的歌曲強(qiáng)調(diào)了劇情和悲情，尤其是他如何融合了一些出色的歌曲，比如像羅莎·沃爾頓作詞作曲的《I Really Wanna Stay at Your House》，這些歌曲有時(shí)非常原始，會(huì)讓觀眾們真情實(shí)感的流下眼淚。
?
By far the most important aspect of? “Edgerunners” is the series direction and writing. The show writers and director Hiroyuki Imaishi manage to capture the punk ethos of “Cyberpunk” with compelling characters like Lucy and David and their crew of “Edgerunners.”?
到目前為止，《邊緣行者》最重要的方面是系列的方向和寫作。該劇的編劇和導(dǎo)演今石洋之設(shè)法抓住了賽博朋克的朋克精神，塑造了一些引人注目的角色，比如露西、大衛(wèi)和他們的“邊緣行者”團(tuán)隊(duì)。
?
?
These are characters with their own personalities, dreams and flaws and much like a typical protagonist written by Imaishi, they’re filled with white-hot passion, raging against a world that would suck out the life from them to fuel its classist hegemony. The narrative’s conclusion, while tragic, fits with the setting.?
這些角色都有自己的個(gè)性、夢(mèng)想和缺陷，就像導(dǎo)演筆下典型的主角一樣，他們充滿了白熱化的激情，憤怒地反抗這個(gè)世界，這個(gè)世界會(huì)吸走他們的生命，為其階級(jí)主義霸權(quán)提供動(dòng)力。故事的結(jié)局雖然悲壯，卻與背景相契合。
?
?
Despite this, the story of David and Lucy matters because of how their relentless pursuit of their dreams despite the odds leaves a tremendous impact on the audience long after the ending.
盡管如此，大衛(wèi)和露西的故事很重要，因?yàn)樗麄儾活櫼磺械貓?jiān)持追求自己的夢(mèng)想，在結(jié)局后很長一段時(shí)間里仍給觀眾留下了巨大的影響。
?
?
無論是之前的《英雄聯(lián)盟：雙城之戰(zhàn)》再到現(xiàn)在的《賽博朋克：邊緣行者》，這些游戲改編而來的動(dòng)漫作品都取得了不錯(cuò)的成績，讓許多可能原本不了解游戲的人對(duì)游戲角色甚至游戲本身都產(chǎn)生了一定的興趣。
?
?
改編并不是亂編，只有在改編后的故事本身足夠優(yōu)秀的前提下，觀眾們才會(huì)愿意去愿意去為此買單，否則即便原著的影響力再大，也不過是砸了自己的招牌罷了。
