i’m giving it a chance, but it looks like it’s trying to tell the same story, which isn’t beneficial because the story of the game was made for the game, the story beats don’t work as well in this format

imma be so real, already these deviations from the game make me wanna stop watching

i do like how it’s animated, and it’s nier automata so obviously the music is still a 10/10

i don’t love that, the game thrived on making you, the player, think and pay attention and explore to notice these things. but i’m literally only 1 episode in so we’ll see, i plan on being very critical of this

okay so, they seem to be going with more of a “tell, don’t show” route compared to the game, off the rip all the the subtleties of 2Bs character you would miss on a first play through are just being told through dialogue, like how she cares A LOT about 9S

and they changed 2B’s opening speech??????

i think a lot of the dramatic moments aren’t gonna hit the same because they lack the build up of what would be the inbetween gameplay

also i’m probably gonna be live posting my thoughts and feelings as i watch, so be ready for that

obviously the story isn’t gonna be beat for beat identical to the game, i’m curious how it’ll end given that though

nier automata anime i’m ready to be traumatised once again
