(CR) NieR: Automata Ver1.1a

[Shadow5YA]

Looks like they got rid of the boss fights entirely.

2B and 9S split up looking for Jackass in the Flooded City for a possible lead on A2, which 9S uses he opportunity to hack into the Bunker for classified info. 9S thinks it was A2, but I'm pretty sure it's Adam.

If that is the case, then that means the giant machine boss fight is gone and we're going into the Copied City soon.

Of course there's another indefinite hiatus right when it looks like they're possibly going anime original. I'm not sure it's a simple matter of skipping content, here. The room with the drawings (made by the seiyuus by the way) was entirely new.

I got my hopes up we were going to see 2B's bare legs and feet during that one scene, but she goes into the water with her boots on. THEY HAD ONE JOB!

They found a lunar tear and the Emilmobile still didn't show up so I guess he doesn't exist in the anime. I wonder if there's meaning behind 2B wearing it and Kainé's theme playing when she removed her blindfold.

[Shadow5YA]

I don't believe they're going anime original just yet.

Spoiler for Speculation based upon game content:

The way I see it, Adam is kidnapping 9S like in the games, but since there was no Goliath, alien base, or crater formation in the middle of the City Ruins, the Copied City will be linked to the Flooded City instead.

Then 2B goes to rescue 9S, fights Adam who willingly disconnected from the Machine Network, then Eve hunts them down for revenge and we're on track for Ending A/B. (I think the cult will be skipped too)

Pretty much the same statement, just saying COVID

Geez, I just caught up thinking they've done enough episodes that they must not have to worry about any more delays, and now this. I swear, they're doing something wrong behind the scenes for this to be basically the only series affected by this.

[Mad Pierrot]

If 86 was delayed for months, then I'm afraid this series will take a lot more.

Don't know where to comment but I started replaying Automata and found that 2B has the book Weiss. I guess the original Nier really had a darker ending than I remembered

She doesn't. He's just a DLC skin for the Pod.

Guess I download the Game of the Yorha then. The game also has Noctis' sword from FFXV.

Episodes 9-12 will air on July 23. The question is if there will be another cour later or not:

[Shadow5YA]

Definitely smells like they missed their seasonal timeslot due to whatever production delays they had.

It doesn't affect me since I've already played the game, but I really wonder if Aniplex is getting their money's worth with this adaptation.
Somehow I doubt enthusiasm for the anime is high given how awkward the airing schedule is.

[Mad Pierrot]

My guess is that

Spoiler for game content:

The next two episodes could be about Adam and Eve's final battles while the next two could show the deaths of the protagonists. I'm not sure about the pacing but I don't see a single cour being made for the final ending

[Mad Pierrot]

All at once?! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...-video/.200229

[Nachtwandler]

Yes, it was anounced a couple of weeks ago.

[Huh...?]

"NieR:Automata Ver1.1a" 2nd Cour in Production.

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

[Kanon]

They changed so more things in these last episodes, the biggest change being

Spoiler for game comparison:

Eve dying instead of Adam

But it ultimately led to the same story beats and end result. It felt like they changed this just to say the anime is different from the game.

It's a shame the logs 9S retrieved from the main server flashed by so fast because they contain MAJOR reveals, like

Spoiler:

The fact humanity has gone extinct ages ago and Yorha is pretending humans escaped to the Moon in order to maintain the morale of the Androids.

Looking forward to the second cour. Hopefully they'll wait until all episodes are done before they start to air them this time.

[EroKing]

I guess it was worth the wait. The overall quality was awesome and it did not disappoint. Looking forward to season 2.

[Mad Pierrot]

I was super confused when Adan got into 9S's mind and read one of his deepest thoughts.... I bet we were all thinking the same about what word was silenced

I mean, Adam kind of said that spoiler himself to 2B.

Also, I have no idea what was happening there at the end.

He didn't provide any sort of proof though. There was no reason for the audience to believe him, it felt more like a trick to mess with 2B.
