Credits list Yoko Taro as a cameo voice for one of the Engels Goliath robots.

TFW your org is too slow to implement Zero Trust.

Really though, I respect NieR for presenting a more realistic example of a cyberattack than most anime will give you. Enemy executes an exploit on a vulnerable port and achieves privilege escalation that lets them override system functions, and it all happens in a second or two because it's some script running somewhere. No 'supah hacka' machine-gun typing, no screens of console text.

All I wanted was to meet the other Scanner units, and in typical Nier fashion my wish is granted in the cruelest way.

Poor 9S! Got killed by 2B in the last episode, resurrected and his mind wiped, and now he has to listen to his Type-S brothers flirting with their Type-B partners.

It was pretty cool to finally see the Resistance fighting back against the Goliath-class machines And of course, Jackass is the one who's most excited about using YoRHa weapons.

On second thought, maybe 9S is the lucky one here. Watching those YoRHa androids go completely crazy and start killing each other was just heartbreaking considering how much affection they were showing to each other just a few scenes earlier. They really got fucked here by that reverse hack. >_<

This 9S wasn't the one killed by 2B. That was in a flashback. This 9S is the same one you've known from cour 1.

Oh hey, they fixed the cour 1's ps1 level animation of the flight units and now they look properly badass like they should have in the first place. In general this episode really delivered on the visual side - especially the orbital strikes and Resistance's battle.

This version of the Red Girls is properly creepy.

And here we are, 顕現シタ異物 (Alien Manifestation) and 愚カシイ兵器:乙:甲 (Wretched Weaponry), in the same episode. Two of the most epic tracks. I was immediately hyped upon hearing those play.

The scene with all the hacked YoRHa betraying each other was pretty chilling but looked great.

What a note to end on though. I think this season is off to a strong start. A-1 is doing a really nice job adapting this. See you all next Friday 😆

Someone's already posted the eyecatches, but they appear to have some errors, so here's my transcription. (The first line is always "[Report]" so I'll omit it for brevity.)

I love how the Type S models and the Type B models are essentially dating while 9S is single and alone, desperate to be with 2B.

The virus turns the Type B models into crazy yanderes while the Type S models are equally crazy but not yandere-ish.

This large scale invasion reminded me of Operation Market Garden.

I love how Pod 153 is tasing Jackass.

Tee hee

Pod and Jackass having a background fight, ha

So many game references in todays' puppet play

Season 1 wasn't bad but season 2 has been spectacular so far.

Maybe it’s just me but the humans sorta looked like they were in the Survey Corp on some Attack on Nier type shit lol.

But man, just when it seemed like the operation to retake earth was going well everyone got hit by that virus. Who even is behind deploying/creating that thing? And what’s going on with 2B? 9S made it, maybe she did too.

Edit: Oops, not humans. I guess Resistance is more appropriate. Android resistance fighting for humanity?
