Anime News Network reports that a new teaser for Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 has set October 20 as its Netflix arrival date, and that the first episode screened at Anime Expo last month.
Neither Edgerunners entry is free on AnimeSphere. Our index holds two: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, recorded as a 2022 ONA with 10 episodes and a 24-minute episode length, tagged Action, Drama, Psychological and Sci-Fi, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, recorded as a 2026 ONA with 10 episodes, tagged Action, Drama and Sci-Fi. Both pages were fetched today, both returned HTTP 200, both state no free episode, and neither carries a source row of any kind in our index.
The label those two share is worth a look: ONA is what our catalogue calls a work released straight to streaming rather than broadcast.
The ONA census
Our index records 3,322 entries with a recorded format of ONA, and all 3,322 pages were fetched from animesphere.app today. One returned a gateway error on the first pass and loaded on retry, so every page was read. Of those, 263 state a free episode on their live page, 2,984 episodes between them. The largest single count is Lu Di Jian Xian, whose page states 150 free episodes. We did not open those uploads.
Our index stores a channel name against every episode row, and three names account for most of this shelf: iQIYI Animation, Tencent Video Animation and Made By Bilibili. Of the 263 entries, 215 draw every free episode from those three channels and nothing else, and their pages state 2,358 free episodes between them. That is arithmetic on two stored fields, the channel name and the count each page states, and it says nothing about who produced anything.
Three complete runs
Thousand Autumns lists 16 free episodes with the language note "Chinese audio, English subs". We record 16 episodes, a 26-minute length, and the tags Action, Adventure and Fantasy. All 16 rows come from Tencent Video Animation at @TencentVideoAnimation, which carries a YouTube verified badge.

The country list on all 16 rows is unrestricted.
The Ravages of Time lists 16 free episodes, same language note, tagged Action, Adventure and Drama. All 16 rows come from Made By Bilibili at @MadeByBilibili, which carries a YouTube verified badge.
