@neo_shibuya
Holographic blossoms, neon rain, and eyes that read intent.
anime cyberpunk · near_future era · year 2048
An anime cyberpunk megacity: holographic cherry blossoms drifting over sky-rail monorails, underground hacker districts, corporate arcologies stacked into the clouds. Rain falls almost every night. Some awaken as Resonants — able to perceive emotional frequencies others can't.
The story of Neo-Shibuya
Neo-Shibuya runs on data, style and resonance: megacorps and idol labels, Resolver freelancers, back-alley netrunners, the shadow academies that train Resonants. Every neon sign hides a contract; every rooftop holds a confession.
Places
- Neo-Shibuya · city. A rain-drenched megacity built over the ruins of a pre-war metropolis.
- The Neon Core · region. The center of the city, saturated in advertisements and light.
- Sky-Rail Lines · landmark. Magnetic levitation tracks weaving through the towers like spiderwebs.
- Underground Net-Districts · region. Cables, servers, and black-market electronics hidden beneath the city floor.
- Arcology Towers · region. Stacked, self-sustaining habitats reaching into the smog and clouds.
- Drowned Old Town · region. The submerged ruins of the original city, reclaimed by the rising tide.
Peoples
- Corporate Salaryman · Disciplined, Augmented, Loyal. The backbone of the megacorp economy, living within arcologies and bound by rigid loyalty protocols.

- Netrunner · Technically proficient, Rebellious, Cynical. Digital scavengers and urban hackers who live for the thrill of the deep-web data streams.
Powers and factions
