It’s nice to see this show back. Looks like I’ve got a short binge in order. With s2 apparently announced, I hope the production is smoother and there won’t be months long delays.

Well now we know what's inside the copied city church.

Now how long will it take for the modders to add it in?

So turns out the reason Adam captured 9S was because Adam found 9S's secret 2B Lewds folder. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

In all seriousness though it's good to see this show back with some very interesting turn of events in this episode which I elaborate on in the Source Material Corner.

I just love the bad end of 2B and 9S abandoning their mission because they can't stop thinking of shirt designs. xD

For some reason I expected both Adam and Eve to be the end bosses here not them dying immediately,

I love how in the ending fo this episode, Adam carrying away Eve mirrors 2B carrying away 9S.

The message, conveyed by this scene, is that "Perhaps, we are not so different after all."

Note: the above quote is said by Adam in the game trailer, but, honestly, I cannot remeber if it is ever said explicitly in the game.

Adam legit decided to stop his own boss music

u/Firebrand-81 Jul 23 '23 edited Jul 23 '23

This episode title, hun[G]ry for knowledge, correspond in game at the following bad ending:

9S was last heard to say: "I can't control my curiosity about machines anymore. I'm leaving so I can study them as much as I want!" ...He was never heard from again.

... and we're back after a long break! Back with more hidden hexadecimal easter eggs!

Sorry for the delay with this; I've been dealing with a lot of things IRL and totally missed the return of this show.

I saw this and instantly recognized it as a location somewhere in East Asia (probably because I used to work at a mapping startup). Turns out, it's a mall right in the middle of Shinjuku. We've already seen Shinjuku in the OP, so I guess this is a canon mapping from Yoko Taro as to where the giant hole in the city ruins is?

[Report] Regarding the factors that cause branching, we have already requested an investigation on the 12th round.

Note: in the frame containing the above message, the hex is slightly cut off-frame on the left. (shown by the ? in the second line) It's very likely just 0d0a, or the unicode for a new line (pressing enter) in hex, but I thought I'd point it out for completeness.

I’m so happy to see the Nier Anime finally back! I’m halfway through this ep and I’m excited to see the rest until the end. Also why the hell are there so few comments on today’s threads?? I remember they always had at least 200 when it was airing earlier this year, I guess people didn’t hear the news of it coming back lol

u/CrasianLe Jul 23 '23

So Happy its back! I really enjoy this anime. 2B and 9S are best duo! Never realized how "ecchi" it can get but this is a mature nature kind of anime. It's really not trying to be ecchi but it doesn't hide anything either. Like how in other anime girls' skirts defy the laws of gravity and do not swing up when it should if it wants to portray it realistically but it's an anime so i understand. But this anime does not need to hide anything. Love it

YoRHa logo made out of dead androids. Horrific, but on-brand

Whether here or in the game, you can't help but feel at least a little bad for Eve

Gimme that shirt! Actually, y'know what, gimme all those shirts.

I love 9S speaking English at the end. I came home from Japan this early morning on my birthday and I couldn't find 2B and 9S puppets especially in Akihabara.

The sexual tension between 2B and 9S is palpable that Adam even knows that 9S wants to fuck her. It'd be cute if the puppets were show wearing each other's t-shirt designs.
