Good to see a Nier anime. They use the game soundtrack for this show which is great!
Anime is fun.

I'm fairly new to the game but I am so happy it uses the same (or feels the same) music and it tells the same story fairly the same, which is nice.
I think on its own, it might be a 3 or 4/5 but I think being aware of the game bumps it up.
Still good though.

I played the game.
Soundtrack is a masterpiece, great action, never cared about the story, majority of the people bought and played the game for 2B design and horny material. This first episode cover the game prologue, pretty accurate except for the nerfed action elements. A1 pictures is a very good studio, animations are huge positive point

Wow, this was terrible. Bad CG... and a sloppy script that only makes sense if you already played the game. The 2D animation was good but the show doesn't stand on its own.
bad cgi 😂 terrible is your dogshit and ignorant opinion

Horrendous CGI aside, pretty good first episode. I liked it and I felt the despair of the fight at the end

It condensed about 2 hours of content (or 3 hours since it added parts from Route B into the episode) into a 23 minute episode. Because of that, it felt very rushed, the dialogue felt super unnatural and it was a bit harder to follow than the game. I put "I disliked it" though, the reason I didn't put "I hated it" is because the puppet show at the end was very, very entertaining.

Interesting show. Its first episode was quite alright.

As someone who hasn't played the video game, I'm glad that the anime was made also with having people like me in mind. I didn't feel confused even for a moment.

Haha, a short scene with puppets at the end of the episode? That was unexpected. In a very positive way, of course. ;p

I highly recommend playing the game first, then it's a totally different experience

Some of the CGI was a bit strange as you can see that the models were not talking; however, the animation in general is really good and accurate to the game so far. It's good!

Quanto mais fiel for o jogo melhor será a experiência para quem ira cair de cabeça no jogo e acompanhar a história também pela recomendação do Gabriel Araujo do Canal CapsLock.

Just saw the BluRay version of this very episode and holy shit this version looks significantly better. Every machine that looked like it borrowed an asset from a game and looked severely outdated and out of place was fixed here and the whole episode feels a lot better as a result. If only production issues weren't there and the BluRay version was the one we got for its premiere, reception might have been significantly more promising from the start for the adaptation. I'm at least glad that the big issues were addressed in this new version.

New version images are on top, older version are bottom of it for each (just a few examples):

How did you manage to find the blu ray version when the season is still airing?

Also, yay, 2D drawn mechs FTW.

Ohh crap, nvm then, forget that I asked. I’ve been so mentally phased out that I had figured I’d probably missed a scene or two from the previous episodes.

Well this was… messy
- The 3d looked god awful, but eh, what can you do.
- 2B seems more emotive than in the games. I love that
- Black box scene was well done!
- End credits were really funny
