Cool recommendations, but the video sounds like it was written by ChatGPT. Just read the video description:

Remember the times when you were forbidden from watching anime and you could not understand what the fuss was all about? Well, a first glance might give the feel that it is just a regular cartoon but many a times, the Japanese counterpart dealt with some deep, dark, and adult subjects. The nature of anime has always been more serious and although there were some anime for kids as well, most of the content was for a mature audience.

The world of anime has explored several genres and the Cyberpunk genre is one of the popular ones. As a subject that concerns some dystopian futuristic elements, it involves concepts of artificial intelligence and advanced technologies. They give importance to the visual aesthetic and primarily focus on the theme of ‘high tech and low life’. We can see a lot of Cyberpunk anime emerging every now and then but they cannot match up to the classics of 80’s and early 90’s. We have avoided popular anime in this genre like Ghost In The Shell, Akira and Bubblegum Crisis, because we wanted to cover a bit more underrated stuff. So let’s begin!

Honestly, the whole channel looks a bit sus.

Here is a way more in depth (and well written) video essay by STEVEM covering most of these Anime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbE9LqPULZY

Just reads like a non-native english speaker wrote it.

Yeah, it kind of does. What made me think ChatGPT were the many awkward word repetitions that I don't think non-native speakers would do:

"The world of anime has explored several genres and the Cyberpunk genre is one of the popular ones."

There are more examples in the video. For example repeating the name of the show in 2-3 sentences in a row. I don't think anyone would naturally write that, even as a non-native speaker. The sheer amount of videos the channel pumps out made me suspicious as well, but ultimately I don't know...
