We don't actually know which studio is animating it at the moment. Botato and I were just speculating on the fan reaction if that turned out to be the case.

Keiichi Okabe is a legend, honestly, and I don't use that term lightly.

I'm not personally familiar with the games he worked on, aside from Nier of course, but for his anime work, I know that he composed all of the Working!! OPs and EDs.

For Nier Automata, it won the award for best soundtrack the year it came out in 2017. And these are the juggernauts it won against:

Cuphead
Destiny 2
Persona 5
Super Mario Odyssey
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Yes, you read the correctly. It was voted best OST in the year Odyssey, BoTW, Cuphead and FREAKING PERSONA 5 came out.

I'm a huge Shoji Meguro fan, and even I have to admit that Automata had the better OST.

BotW's soundtrack is so barebones, I'm surprised that game was even a contender, lol.

But yeah Nier and Nier Automata's OST are legendary. Keiichi Okabe also worked on Drakengard 3's OST, so give that a listen too. Same vibes.

The studio is not mentioned in the announcement, official website or the official twitter account. Even anime websites like ANN who report the best on stuff like this doesn't say who's animating it.
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-02-23/nier-automata-action-rpg-gets-tv-anime/.182928

And reputable VG news sites are all saying that a studio wasn't announced as well.
https://www.destructoid.com/nier-automata-is-getting-an-anime-adaptation/

It feels like some people saw that Aniplex was producing and thought that it must be A-1 who's making it.

If you've seen it with an official source cited, please share it, because I can't find it myself. Not even A-1's official twitter is talking about it, and not even retweeting it, which is the bare-minimum for this kind of announcements.

That's fine, CW has their share of bad adaptations, but on the whole, their track record is way above A1.

If you ask me tho, I'd want WIT to handle this adaptation. And my entire case for this is built on Vivy.

This may surprise you after what I said, but I personally don't find Vivy as amazing as a lot of people do. I actually have a lot of problems with its storytelling and I fought the urge to drop it a couple of times throughout due to this.

What I'll always praise about it though is the admittedly amazing art and sound direction. I don't enjoy a lot of what happened, but damn, did I enjoy looking at and listening to it ithappen.

This is where my want for WIT to adapt Automata is coming from. Have Automata's story with AoT's color palette and Vivy's art/animation/sound direction and you'll have to try hard to fuck this one up.

@astroprogs Yeah I mean, I liked it but it had its issues for sure. My biggest problem personally is with the ending. Or well, last arc in general. I originally watched it because it sounded like the closest thing I will ever get to a full Mega Man X anime series.

Unrelated but, this didn't feel good at all. Bullying is bad.

I was able to run Elden Ring fine. As expected it's dying simulator. I like being to summon spirits to help you in battle because otherwise I don't stand a chance lol.

It's quite difficult to use bow in this game, pulling the string so slowly while your enemy is fast af. Nothing like Genshin.

Switching between weapon also feel quite slow and I don't know why sometime the character decide to not pull their sword and use their fist instead.

I am not complaining that the enemy tough, it just feel like I died because I can't control the character the way I want.

This is opinion of someone who never played Dark Souls. Perhaps it's always like this and fan of the genre have adjusted to it.

You might have a point here. The biggest impactful things abt Vivy were the production(music/animation/vas/etc), especially the atmosphere, and the setting too. I feel like I don't think of the story telling much wrt why I like it lol. There were some boring bits//like//with//ophelia//i//m//o, tho never to the extent that I wanted to drop it lmao.

A VERY interesting theory on why plenty of Inazuma characters seem off from both kit and artifact designs and how mihoyo just fucked things up due to poor planning and time restraints.

This video talks about Yoimiya, Kokomi and Yae in particular.



If true, this explains why early leaks were saying that Yae will be a main DPS character.

Honestly, I believe it. This makes way too much sense and has way too much evidence in-game to be wrong.

EDIT:

Reading the comments on the video, it seems that some characters also had this kind of change before Inazuma as well, it's just that Yae is the first character where the change was so antithetical to her original design that it can't function coherently without a complete rework of the kit, which made this very noticeable for her.

Examples of previous changes:

Eula used to have Shenhe's kit and was originally intended to be a Cryo support. This is the reason why the Noblesse artifact set art design and effect suits her lore and original support lore. This was scrapped to have her out before the deadline because the Cryo support kit wasn't finalized in time and instead was swapped with Shenhe.

Venti's signature weapon used to be Skyward Harp, which makes a lot of sense.

Yoimiya is implied to have been a polearm Liyue shielder from Inazuma but was changed to not overlap with Zhongli.
The lore of the recent Lantern Rite also heavily implies that a fireworks character was supposed to be in Liyue.
Her kit was delayed and then had her scaling adjusted to make Shiminawa more appealing on her.

Ganyu's weapon was supposed to be "Quilin Horn", but it wasn't finalized at the time, so Ganyu was instead given a Monstadt weapon, Amos. Quilin Horn has now been repurposed as Yelan's weapon, which she can be seen holding in her recent leaks.

TLDW

Yae Miko was originally designed as an on-field main DPS who had Shiminawa as her own artifact set, evidenced by her long animations suited for that role, the Shiminawa set description in-game references lady Kitsune and Miko everywhere and the fact that the set art design is completely inline with Yae's own. She looks like a freaking walking Shimenawa set lol.

But for some reason, you can argue the very tight deadlines and release schedule, she was changed to be a support, but because it was way too late in the development cycle, they just changed her numbers to make her NA and CA do way less damage and called it a day, which explains why she feels clunky and takes too much field time for a sub-DPS.

Same goes for Yoimiya, her set was Retracing Bolide and the art and lore of the set in the game references Yoimiya and fireworks a ton. Same for Kazuha and Freedomsworn. FS is a western-styled Mondstat sword that was meant for Jean (you know, 'Freedom' and looking almost identical to Eula's weapon, released alongside her Summer skin etc), but because they didn't have enough time to design a sword for Kazuha, he was given it.

EDIT:

Braxophone is talking about that CN theory now as well.

Well, maybe, but the Fatui appear to be doing more damage than Celestia because the other "twist" is the firmament of Teyvat and Khaenri'ah's rebellion and desire to rival Celestia.

So, Celestia is keeping humanity as captors and the Fatui's end goal is to set humanity free just as Khaenri'ah originally wanted. This has been foreshadowed so much in the game, I can't even call it a twist at this point and Celestia being evil is just pretty damn obvious. "The stars are fake" and all that.

The Abyss Order's goals align with the Fatui because they want the same thing, being the original people of Khaenri'ah and all.
