That was quite a cliffhanger for what might be a long wait. An damn, 2B's beauty really is other wordly

Even the most chill episode from this anime is really well done. Well, now to see when does this come back again.

Let's see we got a deserted beach, characters having fun in the water and a girl fishing wearing a bikini, it's 100% a beach episode.

I would like to heap some praise on A1 Pictures for their great work on NieR: Automata Ver1.1a, especially for the way they have of emotionally AND intellectually portraying the struggle to find meaning and purpose in the middle of a battlefield.

Obviously good story material is essential but A1 has a knack for creating characters that I care for while subtlety asking question about ethics, purpose and meaning.

86 is another example of a great A1 story told with heart, pain and pathos.

very nice post-apocalyptic beach episode. loved the first half and the horror-esque ending with 9S. 2B removed her visor once again, showing the beauty of her eye(s).
apparently, we have a delay :((

The episode was okay-ish I guess, I'm still not captivated by this anime so I really don't care if the next episode got postponed for the next year or whatever. I'm just not looking forward to the "next episode" when I watch this anime, even though it isn't a bad anime, I'm not into it either.

And reading the comments here, some people are saying that some fights got skipped, this is a good thing IMHO too, I rather have them focus on the story and not the fights, this anime has potential to have a good story but so far, I'm not being captivated by anything here which is a shame.

At least the OST is awesome so it's music to my ears but the story needs some work, I'm just not being captivated by it.

Absolutely a beach episode, which turned into a somewhat horror episode towards the end there, with 9S first peeking into a "classified" conversation and then coming across Adam who seems to be running around 9S, probably trying to enact a horror story he read somewhere.

I'm concerned with the order of events. This anime has done enough to earn the benefit of the doubt, but I still have to ask myself how they're going to weave in the crucial Adam and Eve scenes now. I'm very excited for the next area though, it's definitely one of the best in the game. Almost as good as the amusement park, but much easier to adapt. I suspect that the next episode will be fantastic. Sucks that we have to wait for it longer than usual, but hey, we made it once and we will make it a second time.

On another note, I LOVED the scene where they took off the blind folds. It really shows that these characters aren't as simple as the archetypes they're modeled after. 9S is so precious every time he takes a moment to enjoy the world. Again, as usual, the original scenes knock it out of the park. Side note: Anime Jackass is best Jackass. She really doesn't have the patience to do a hobby like fishing.

Finally, it's good to see more of the exiteable 60 and the stoic 210. They convince me that YoRHa chooses the operator-soldier pairings based on comedic potential xD.

Jackass wearing a red bikini...

Something that I never thought of asking, but I'm VERY happy that it exists! XD

Along with sexy Jackass and operator 6O amusingly going into fangirl mode after seeing 2B wearing a lunar tear on her outfit, this episode was pretty peaceful. The flooded city does look desolate and a shell of its former glory after how much damage it has taken during the ongoing war against the machine lifeforms, but seeing 2B and 9S relaxing by the sea and even taking off their visors, led to a tranquil moment between the two of them.

9S is in a bit of a pinch with where's he's gone. He did get through the Bunker's security to overhear the commander talking to her superior, but he had to bail when he was detected. However, he's in an area where the signal communications are jammed and a figure is running circles around him.

Either way, it'll be interesting to see what'll happen next, as some events in the order that they've appeared in do differ a bit more now compared to the game.

Having said that, it sucks that the anime has been delayed for the second time. It's a shame, but I don't want to see a rushed effort, so I'll be fine as long as this delay gives the staff more time to finish the upcoming episodes and the best quality that they can achieve in the time given.

Goddamn, they really nailed the very creepy feeling the game sometimes has, they even used that creepy track as well, the track that scarred me multiple times.

Kainé Salvation and lunar tears 😭.

Ah yes, the mackerel ending lmao. Never thought that we'd ever see Jackass in a bikini, but here we are.

Man, I love that they're also adapting some of the side quests from the game, whilst making it not out of place at all. Though to be fair, these side quests are perfect ingredients for pain later on.

The most painful thing of all though, is that we're fucking delayed again, but I can see that the staff is clearly passionate about this project with how good this adaptation is so far, so I can gladly wait however long it takes. See ya'll again later, when it's back.

Another fantastic episode. I wish that part with them in the water was in the game but I'm thankful that we're getting more "in between" parts. The flooded city was one of my favorite parts of the game to just do nothing but take in the game so I loved this episode.

Just finding out about the delay through reading the comments. I sighed at first but hey, I'm okay with waiting. I usually go back and re-watch episodes anyway.

This episode was interesting in a good sense but it defiantly would mean more to people who have played the game.

I don't know why they skipped the fight at the flooded city, but I liked the episode so they got away with it. 

I hecking love Kaine song, don't remember if it's salvation or the other one though.

I'm quite disappointed with the last few episodes tbh, I don't like how they rush through the source material so much and skip so many moments.
I wouldn't say the episode is bad though, just kinda underwhelming.

Aghhhh 2B's eyes is so pretty same with 9S.

A2's personality changed a lot, since a lot happened on her and on her comrades. I wonder if they'll going to give us an insight on what happened after that Pearl Harbor Descent mission.

And her original outfit is similar to 2B, but with just a little bit difference.

Oh that cliffhanger, It's going to be a boss fight!

I hope the delay wont take that long.

This has been a better adaptation of the game than I ever thought it would be. I really like how they structure each episode and how they focus on everything going on rather than just following 2B and 9S around which would have been kind of boring.

So for this adaption A2 is actually a previous version of 2B that we saw in Lily's past, or am I getting something mixed up since I don't remember that being the case in the game.
Either way its an interesting reveal, wondering how else the ending for this could differ from the game.

Didn't realize that all the remaining episodes were released just a week ago, I thought they weren't to be out for a while yet. So yeah I didn't watch this episode yet actually, since I had dropped it at episode 7; got bored. It just didn't REALLY capture the vibes of the game, which is what I was looking for the most. Instead it was just very, well, anime; yeah idk what I was expecting.

Anyway, all the episodes are here now, and it's just 4, so why not finish this while I feel like it. Maybe they were cooking something in this 3-month-or-so-long delay, who knows. edit: 4-month delay actually, sheesh
