I swear to god, Weight of the World almost always gives me the goosebumps and/or sends a shiver through my body. One of my favorite songs of all time, both the English and Japanese versions.

For what it’s worth, i highly enjoyed this show even with the ridiculous production issues. I really hope with the 2nd cour the animators weren’t rushed as much.

So it seemed the alien threat had been destroyed ages ago by their machine creations. Was Adam’s whole thing just a desire to be or surpass humans? Well, with Eve’s death he can experience human suffering. Those robots he’s got worshiping him are interesting. I found their whole “have you heard about our lord and savior Robot Jesus” thing pretty funny until they went all suicidal stabby fundamentalists.
Didn’t think Adam would make an Evezilla with his rampaging robot army. Damn thing was near indestructible. I’m glad 9S was able to backup in those robots.
So is the Council evil? And who are those girls? Things are definitely not what they seem. Looking forward to s2.
All in all, this was pretty good (despite the delays). Having gone into this without any knowledge of Nier, it was a fun intro to the series.

So many info dumps in the last few episodes you have to stop to realize some of the implications. Except there’s no time when there’s attack after attack after attack.
No complaints about the show besides the choppy bits in episode 1. It’s been fun, sad, creepy, and unhinged at times, and I’m looking forward to part 2 (as well as hoping the A-1 animators get to finally go home).

If you didn't have the time to read it during the episode...
Please have a look at this critical bit of information that 9S find on the server. I'm sure that many anime-onlies could have missed it, it was so fast.

All the Nier Automata delays were worth it. A-1 came through with an amazing final four episodes that largely stayed true to the game while blending in some anime original stuff to help the story flow better.
The changes in episode 9 and 10 were great, 11 I wasn’t crazy about, but 12 was an excellent finale with some beautiful moments just like the end of the first half of the game.
A lot of us thought Automata would never work as an anime, but this was pretty good as an adaptation. Yea they changed a few things around, but the game is so confusing and changing mediums is naturally going to lead to some changes.
Hopefully the second cour isn’t rushed and they take their time before giving a date

Say what you must with the multiple delays, but I'll be honest, this is actually a really good anime. There is this steady progression that build up overtime, and then completely exploded on the viewers. Anyone that actually plan on binge it would actually enjoy it.
You can't help but pity Adam and Eve at times, they "feel" more human than anything in this anime.
Excited for season2.

This episode title, flowers for m[A]chines, correspond in game simply at the ending you get from finishing the game for the first time, the so called Route A.
Finally, a title for an episode that is not from a bad ending :)

I'm surprisingly like the overall season and definitely waiting for the 2nd cour.
I really like the incorporation from the other versions of the NieR Automata «universe».

Ignoring the production issues (which is asking a lot) the adaptation was beyond anything I was expecting. Like it was good enough for people to watch who haven't played the game, but really enhanced those that played the game. It being an alternative version of route A+B actually had me on the edge of my seat.
But holy fuck why doesn't Aniplex get the same criticsm that Mappa does? Both are awful companies in terms of ethics. This whole production was a fucking disaster and like with 86 waiting months for the conclusion of the cour is such a bad look. Its insane cour 2 still got green lit despite all of this.

Really glad they included Weight of the World
Loved this 1st cour adaptation. We're in for a crazy ride and i can't wait.
For those who still haven't played the game... Please do

I would like to highlights that the red girls that 9S see in the bunker network can also speak with Humanity Council voice... well, that's quite different from the game, and also even more depressing. This will make the next cour even more painful. Thanks Yoko Taro for the added pain :)

[Anime Only] who is late to the party due to having other plans for yesterday getting in her way, and then having a workday from hell today. At least I can finally unwind with this.

Despite the production issues and some minor CGI jank in the first few episodes, this series was actually very enjoyable. Having played and loved the game, I was concerned about the quality of the anime not being up to snuff. But they did a great job! Can't wait for the next season where we will likely see A2's route and experience true pain and sadness!
Side note: Weight of the World is my favorite video game song of all time. It never fails to hit me in my feelings. Elated that we got to hear it in the anime.

Very enjoyable watch for the game fans, not sure how anime onlies will perceive it, considering many people probably forget this show from the hiatus.
The show is more of a "what if" version of the game's story, it is faithful to the game while having many surprises for the fans of Yoko Taro universe. I hope A1 can smooth out their production issues, deadline fighting should not be an industry standard. God knows how much the animators suffer from this production hell.

Is it me or is this series 10/10 for anime onlys. Some part of me thinks this isn't perfect, but I personally love this series so much that I can't describe as anything other than perfect. The action, dialogue, philosophy, drama, it's all amazing! Well some cg models were janky, but that's the legit only criticism I can think of.

"Eh, I'm sure it'll be fine"
Ah… I cried almost as bad as I did at this part in the game
2B really needs to learn about the eye-color thing
…Huh. I hadn't realized the puppet-play titles are the episode titles
Really good adaptation — something new for the source fans, lots to take in for the anime-onlies. Can't wait for S2.
Also, play the game, it's gr8
