am i wrong or in the game wasn't 9s the one that was hesitant and 2b was the cold hearted one?

9s was always the one who justified his violent tendencies with the "robots have no emotions" argument despite seeing proof to the contrary.
2B was cold because she didn't want it to get attached to 9s, considering she always has to kill him when he finds out the truth about Yorha

I think that those who have played the game probably has an advantage because this anime is just a bit random.

it's following the plot of the game but also cutting out a lot of the exploration and replacing it with world building

glad this anime is back.

and this is the creepiest episode so far. That weird play using android bodies as decorations?

2B seems to be more kind than 9S. She hesitated to kill that "mother and daughter", maybe because those machines are not a threat to her?

9s bah! Are you the villain perhaps?
I really hate how they indiscriminately kill the yellow eyed robots all the time, it's always terrible.
They probably evolved into less agressive robots over time, so it feels like a waste to destroy them.

I missed this anime so much! Why the episodes not launched more?
I don't play the game, so I think I'm not immersive how much I should be in this anime, but I really like the mensage what the show pass! I've been convinced play the game, a good propaganda. (I probaly will see a gameplay later in the youtube)
This episode is a 7/10, this note is low but I dont think this episode is bad, the opposite!

they're fucking nailing it with the adaptation.

they manage to stay true to the game and tell a new story at the same time. so far i'm loving it. they sprinkle a lot of foreshadowing into it for those that played the game while fleshing the charactrs out even further.

i don't know how much yoko taro is involved but they even keep the plot and everything from the game.

this anime is just great!

One of the best episodes of anime history, the way they combined this parts from the game and made it an amazing viewing experience is unmatched. What a time to be a Nier fan.

Well, at least wating for a few weeks did made a very well animated episode with epic fights. Furthermore, it seems like the plot thickens, while at the same time staying vague, I wonder what will happens in the future episodes. As someone who hasn't played the game, it's still not really clear what this anime will do (except killing machines in an epic fashion).
I like everything, ok

There were three weeks of a down period because of covid, so the anime is releasing at a slower rate because of it, sadly :(

;) bingo 
It's just that this anime is a lot more direct with how 9s feels, but I still think he shows off a lot of his original charm when interacting with anyone who is not a robot, like the resistance members

This felt like I was watching someone speedrunning, it didn't feel the theme of the episode got time to breathe so the scene with 9S getting rid of the two robots wasn't as striking as it should have been; it's still enjoyable but feels dull to me since I didn't play the game.

Episode that concludes with the famous first boss battle. Added some original scenes but the show very faithful to the game. I’m looking forward to the next episodes presumably we will meet an important character.


It will follow the game's storyline for a bit but it will have an original story going forward since the author and director of the game, Yoko Taro said he doesn't want to just copy-paste what's already in the game...So this will have a new story.

And since this will have a different story, I'm honestly hoping we'll meet Androids from other Bunkers since the one 2B and 9S are in is the 13th Bunker so there are other Bunkers out there in orbit.

Besides the rough CGI, the action sequence is pretty neat and "A beautiful song" is one of my favorite OST from the game. Though i'll say as of this episode, they could've spend more time in the Amusement Park... I like the usage of the border during 9S scene..

Gorgeous animation! I haven't played the game but I find this anime's storyline and characters to be beautiful.

2B and 9S are *chef's kiss*

The part about the enemy going mad to be beautiful and the robots in the end who just wanted to see the play was sad though

Wow, the boss fight is amazing!!

I haven't seen the 3D model of the Songstress moved like that, they made it specifically for this anime, awesome.

Goddamn Jean-Pierre and your pretentious philosophical bullshit, you could have saved her!!

Love drives people mad...

9S could have spared the mom and daughter machines...
Anime is fun.

at this point i have a fear the anime may be covering over interesting philosophical ideas too quickly. Here in particular I was really interested in the self-adornment with corpses as beautification on the part of the feminine for the masculine. Reminded me of an aphorism from the Gay Science but eh. It's an anime based off of a video game after all. Can't complain too much I suppose.

Kinda what I expected as a fan of the game. Rushed and no room for any emotional or philosophical themes to hit at all. Like we really covered the amusement park, one of the most iconic parts, in one episode and they barely explored at all. I just don’t see the point. People seem to like the adaptation, some who have played and liked the game too so it’s weird to be the odd one out because I don’t get it.

9S was too cold for the last part. But even if it was a sentient life form (Aliens) Invading earth and wiping out humanity what would you have done. I guess that would be the right question.

Was wondering how they were going to do this boss, for the most part I would say they did a pretty decent job.
Especially with the action of 9S at the end.

I wish they didn't get rid of 9S's curious and sympathetic nature because it's what made him so cute in the original game. I preferred when 2B was the colder, apathetic figure while 9S was the innocent and adventurous one of the duo. It seems kinda off seeing 9S have no sympathy for the robots while 2B is the one hesitating to kill them off.

The final fight of this episode resembled a nicely done boss fight, haha.

Let me guess. Next episode: more hate and more genocide.

Newsfash Edgelord-kun you are the very thing that you hate.

Oh I'm sure theres going to be a twist or two.

It's easy to see the original anime this Video Game Adaptation is based on.

There is nothing original or creative to see here in terms of Story.

The game's rendition of "Romeos and Juliets" is much more interesting than the performance shown in the anime.
