Check out the comments:

  • My fellow NieR fans, the anime is terrible and feels like a .
  • The PlayStation 2 video game trailer looks good, when is it coming out?
  • This is truly awful, my condolences to the video game fans. Deep down I was hoping for a decent adaptation.
  •  anime NieR: Automata looks like shit
  • The opening is also crap, not even a song by Aimer herself saves it

Hence, fans who have described it as " terrible " since its first episode . This franchise is characterized not only by its characters, but also by the large number of robots they fight. The studio decided to opt for 3DCG animation for all elements .

Studio A-1 Pictures had struggled with the production of 86: Eighty-Six , which caused the final episodes to be delayed for months.

Synopsis

NieR:Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S, and A2 and their battle to reclaim a machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines.
Humanity was driven from Earth by mechanical beings from another world. In a final effort to reclaim the planet, the human resistance sends a force of android soldiers to destroy the invaders. Now, a war between machines and androids continues… a war that may soon reveal a long-forgotten truth about the world.

Finally, the NieR:Automata game was released for the PlayStation 4 in Japan in February 2017, then in North America and Europe in March 2017. Additionally, Square Enix also released the game on PC via Steam in March 2017 and on Xbox One in June 2018.
