What a start! Animation so cool they are proud to show it off. Mecha animations were realistic whilst some parts have different animation but I think its dynamics work well. Fighting scenese of 2B were well-made, especially the part were they face off their target. Can't wait to go deeper into their back stories. Closing credits puppet show is funny and worth the watch.
GLORY TO MANKIND! As someone who has fond memories of playing NieR:Automata, I’m pleasantly impressed by this adaptation! I LOVE that this ep opens with that one iconic visual of 2B and 9S. IYKYK 😭💕 Usually, game adaptations are quite limited in budget, but imo, this one is not one of them. The art direction and animation are faithful to the OG, the beautiful OST is an absolute HIT, and the voice acting is just as PEAK as it was in the game~ (Ishikawa and Hanae are so GOOD!! 🥺) Plot-wise, this is very similar to how the game begins... It’s a slow but solid intro to this bleak post-apocalyptic world and intriguingly charming characters!!
This is a nice start to a video game adapted anime. I never played the game but this intro wasn't too wild. I really appreciate the little theatre that goes over concepts and endings involved with the game!
