This will either be really good or really bad

Frontier · 2022-02-23, 10:26

This is the first adaption of a Yoko Taro game, yes? I can understand on the level of how popular they are but at the same time they'll have to be really careful to get this right...although it probably helps that Taro is supervising it himself

Rumors are A1 doing it, so I'm concerned.

Obelisk ze Tormentor · 2022-02-23, 10:41

A1? They could barely finish the second cour of 86 last year and there were a couple episodes of it where non-battle scenes are static power-point-esque where they even hid characters's faces in many instances coz they couldn't animate the mouthflaps.

MeoTwister5 · 2022-02-23, 10:43

Automata is relatively tighter and, well, saner than most of his other work...

Still the direction and care put into the adaption as a whole was pretty stellar, so I'd say with a properly paced out production schedule and a good staff they would be able to deliver.

Supervising instead of actually writing it... this will probably be bad. I'll watch it anyway.

Pretty much what I thought about hearing this news.

Kanon · 2022-02-23, 19:34

I hope they'll interview Yoko Tarou to promote the anime. They'll say fans don't have to worry since he's supervising it, and he'll reply "the only thing I've done is take my check to the bank though".

shmaster · 2022-02-23, 19:35

Rather than watching this anime, I prefer having this anime Tobe really bad and watch Yoko Taro making fun of it.

Last Sinner · 2022-02-23, 19:37

So are they going to adapt all 5 playthroughs? Also, I don't get the timing - there's merch galore, game has been out for a long while, Replicant is also out. What's the payoff?

It should be pretty easy to merge everything. A and B are basically the same thing, you're just playing a different character. And C is the continuation of A and B. They'll of course go for ending E.

Last Sinner · 2022-02-23, 21:39

Again, the timing seems weird. Someone gifted me it at Christmas since it was 20 dollars on Steam. What is the payoff for adapting it now, given how long it's been out and that Replicant is also out?

Because the franchise is still popular. Might as well cash in while you can.

Kismet-chan · 2022-02-27, 14:54

I wish they chose to adapt an original story and cast instead. Or maybe even a side story with pre-established side characters. I have extremely low expectations for this.

Golden Lily · 2022-02-28, 12:48

They could just adapt that manga with YoRHa androids where 2B is still a newbie.
I don't know if it's any good as I didn't read it myself.

Kanon · 2022-02-28, 19:44

Whatever happens, 2B will be in it for sure.

stray · 2022-02-28, 20:44

I wouldn't mind seeing 2P personally....

I'm really on the fence about this but I like the prospect of new Nier music so I don't know. As long as Emi Evans is involved anyway.
