It's alright, but I think this show was pointless. The story works better as a game. The story hinges on the fact that YOU are the one playing it. When you're just a neutral observer it doesn't hit as hard. It'd be like if they made a movie adaptation of Spec Ops: The Line.

The animation and voice acting both in the dub and sub are very good however. Also the soundtrack is straight from the game, which I see as a good thing seeing as imo it's one of the best soundtracks in gaming and now anime.

All in all this isn't for everyone. Some people would describe this as "pretentious" and I can see why, even if I don't believe it is. I wouldn't recommend the anime being your first introduction to Nier, definitely play the game first.
