 The NieR: Automata 5th Anniversary Livestream event announced a television anime adaptation for the video game on Wednesday. Aniplex is producing the anime.Developed by PlatinumGames, the action role-playing game was published by Square Enix on PlayStation 4 in Japan in February 2017, followed by North America and PAL countries in March that year. The game was also released on PC in the same month and on Xbox One in June 2018. The game serves as a sequel to the 2010 video game NieR—a spin-off to the Drakengard game series. Jun Eishima penned a three-volume light novel adaptation supervised by the game's director Taro Yoko between August 2017 and July 2018. Megumu Soramichi began drawing a manga adaptation of Taro Yoko's Ongakugeki YoRHa Ver.1.2 stage play in December 2020 on the Manga UP! web magazine. Square Enix shipped the first volume on April 22. Game Synopsis Set thousands of years after the events of NieR, the story revolves around a war between humanity's remaining androids and an army of invading machines from another world. Their initial irruption drove the Earth's population to flee to the Moon. In order to reclaim the planet, humanity formed the "YoRHa" squad, a combat droid unit that would fight in a side conflict. Despite the fact that they are denied emotions and have no real names, they can be identified by their distinct attitudes. The androids are led by the "Bunker," the YoRHa automated infantry squad's headquarters in orbit above the planet, which establishes a self-sufficient resistance on Earth to push back the machines.

| weird news and I am currently trying to play the game |
    |
| waiting for staff list hopefully its a talented staff doing this |
| >A-1 Pictures Aaaand dropped. |
Use your brain before using your keyboard!  |
| If 2B ass dont receive a good animation I riot. |
| Hopes are at a bare minimum but you never know... |
  |
| Can't wait to see sweet boy 9S animated and of course I'm even more excited for 2B's GIANT, FAT,THICC and incredibly round sword to be animated... |
| HELL YEAHHHHHHHHHH !!!! HYPED AFF |
 |
| animated 2booty, nice |
 |
| Goated game but I can't exactly see this being a successful adaptation |

| Wow, this thread speaks good english. Anyway, a few people are not entirely trusting in this. This might go sideways but I mean what doesn't with game adaptations. Goes to show how hard it is to adapt between two different mediums. There is a reason why anime --> live-action is just usually appalling. |
| Can't wait to see this... I'm genuinely hyped for this. |
 |
| Another good news for me, hope its a good adaptation. |
| HOLY COW I’m so excited for this. |
 |
| Definitely and pleasantly surprised by the sudden announcement! I’m not a gamer but this is one of those games that you often see on trends so I’m looking forward to seeing what this bring to the table. I’ve heard there’s a fair amount of dark elements in the game version though, I wonder how the anime will cover that. |

| Can't wait to see my girls Devola and Popola. |
|
| oh this is one of my favorite games of all time not sure about this adaptation though |
 |
| I have the game but I have yet to play it, maybe I’ll check it out before this airs |
 |
| I hope they'll adapt a side story or A2's past, the game's story doesn't fit in an anime. Woful25 said: Do I need to play the entire game series to watch this? Probably not, Nier Automata is an indirect sequel to Nier Replicant. However, it would be good if you played the games, both Nier Automata and Replicant are excellent. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Normally Games' adaptation always fail but let's see. I'm very curious about how it will be. Spinoff story or an actually adaptation of the game story? And how they will adapt the Endings.. Let's go! |
“Reality rejected… synapses shattered… be vanished from this world!”  |
| BASED...!!! Can't wait to see it. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| I'm afraid they're going to merge routes A and B so they're gonna lose a lot of their impact. Someone might think they are too similar narrative wise and keeping them separate would make for boring television. Another thing that will definitely lose its impact is ending E since I can't think of a way to effectively translate it into non interactive media. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Lowkey scared for this adaptation. But since A-1 Pictures is doing a great job on 86, I might put my faith in them. Guess I need to finish the game now *sniff* |
| I just hope they'll keep the soundtrack. |
 |
| yes! automata is life |
| hoping this would be a side story to the game than a direct adaptation. cus otherwise, they're gonna have a hard time nailing down the appeal of nier's storytelling to a different medium. |
 |
| I never thought this game will get an anime adaptation, I hope it will be good |
albyy said: hoping this would be a side story to the game than a direct adaptation. cus otherwise, they're gonna have a hard time nailing down the appeal of nier's storytelling to a different medium. what about me i dont care, side it will be or adaptation, or alternative story i just want to see perfect drawning without shit 3d and ofcrz same seiyuu as game has |

| Its finally officially announced now....I heard that A-1 Pictures is doing this so I think it could end up being a pretty good adaptation |
| One of the best games with outstanding ost. Now in anime, oh boy. I will be watching this with joy. 2B in anime. |
| Anime is fun. |
| I have no idea how this will be adapted but hope it's great. Should be hyped for the soundtrack at least for this. Am intrigued about this series but at the same time, game anime adaptations have not been amazing to say the least so an element of worry is definitely there too for this. |
| Damn imagine the ass shots. Can't wait. |
 |
| Cant wait for some of game waifus to get an anime adaptation. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
