Nier Automata the famous game crafted by Yoko Taro years ago finally had its first episode came out today. With anything that is popular their will be haters and trolls accompanied with it. So is the hate towards the show justified or overblown? Is it a good anime adaptation or garbage?

Not even gonna sugarcoat it… Great episode and don't let the haters sway you
I loved this first episode! And the credits reminded me of Demon Slayer.. i loved everything! I was waiting the anime since i finished the game last year!
"every little detail they can"? Bro, the entire thing is CGI instead of anime o.ô
I wanted to watch Nier with my girlfriend because of the nice story since I played the game but we couldn't stop laughing at the imported game models and poor CGI. She ended dropping it and rated it 3/10.
It's not a "little detail", it's the entire thing that sucks ass!
15:45 I loved they added that on the anime! It's on my Game case photo and not seeing it left me a bit confused In Game Pov, but seeing the context of that on the anime makes me happy
People have to be aware of all shows have budget. As long it execute the idea well is what matters.
There are ways to use cgi and ways not to use gci. That still frame at 5:35 looks terrible. I dont understand doing the anime in this style. It looks like a worse version of the game. Just play the game. This story should have been done in a much more surrealist animation style, imo.
I thought it was amazing. Very true to the start of the game. Can’t wait to see the rest. Some fans just get so protective of a game or shape that they make up their mind instantly that any show or other form of media that tries to do it justice is automatically bad. Nothing is perfect and I don’t claim that this first episode was perfect, but as someone who loved Nier automata, this was a fantastic start to the show.
I'm just happy it got an anime and hopeful that i will enjoy it. but if all others do is nit pick then they won't enjoy the show at all. All game adaptations aren't necessarily going to be good. But this game at least i enjoyed.
the breakneck pace of the first episode is due to the first mission taking most people almost an hour to finish, if you're watching cutscenes on top of it
fans: cool story. how many episodes is it?
A1: three
fans: three? did you spend it all on the CG?
A1: no, the aftershow puppets
fans: aftershow puppets!? can we drop the animation and have a whole show of that instead?
A1: it'll put our whole country in the red but Taro says it's worth it. when you see every single japanese person begging for change, just remind yourself never to listen to a creative that's clearly lost their mind years ago
twitter cancel culture is garbage I perdicted this though. They allready attempted to cancel the game and Yoko tarro. But he just laughed at the leftist degenretes so they are trying again with this.
It looks bad the CG animations looks awful and the way they animated it just looks so low buddget
I didn't like ep.1 of N:A. Too much copypaste from the game. Often worse than the game, too.
From my impression people love it. Where did you even get the impression that people hate it? Twitter? LOL
Netflix should do a prequel to this, "Nier Origins: Drakengard", story & characters, the tone, would be a good addition as Anime in general
I would be worried for it as an adaptation since NieR Automata as a game uses it being a game to help benefit the narrative. I mean it’s kinda the reason certain games like Undertale wouldn’t have a good transistion to other narrative mediums.
Not even for multiple endings.
Here's the thing about the cg. The models and animation itself is fantastic. Problem is the lighting engine or shader. It's very primitive looking. I mean it looks worse than the game itself. It just needed a different rendering engine or shader.
And just because berserk is leagues worse, doesn't mean any other gets a pass cause it looks a lot better. A lot of cg looks better than berserk's. My cg looks better
Honestly the pacing in this compared to the game feels so much worse. Something about this feels wrong. Straight story game adaptations have always been tricky cause the gameplay helps pace the story. The best adaptations don't follow the story exactly. Castlevania and cyberpunk 2077 are fantastic adaptations cause they do something unique with the source material.
It anime from manga adaptations are better cause animes can do things that mangas can't. Like music, animation and voice acting. Games have all of that
People who didn't play the game would love the anime. But if you played the game, you basically already watched the anime. The anime is good but it is just copied and pasted from the game.
Its just like why? It's an inferior version in quite literally every way compared to the game.
I literally watched the first 3 mins and said "I don't like it, this isn't for me" Did I make a mistake?
Just like genshit revolutionized the mobile game industry, chainshit man also revolutionized CG in anime..
that's the standard and those that are below standard will definitely be compared
Opera Boss Goated
I dont listen to anime community now adays very much over hyping garbage and completely ignoring quality shows
12:30 ya playing a game again as a different character with some different scenes (and different gameplay) is vastly different than watching a whole series of episodes from a "different perspective" of almost entirely the same sequences. It would NOT translate well at all in an anime and make it boring to watch. With anime (or any show) you can switch perspectives perfectly fine because you're spectating the story. A game cannot swap back and forth from character because that would be terrible and jarring. This was the only proper way to do it without making the anime indulgently long and difficult to get through for most people. And it would cause them to have to cut a lot of side quest stories that could be used for character development in favor of retelling the whole A/B sequence again unless S1 ended up being 40 episodes long.
I bust a vein laughing at the ending of the puppet theatre
My honest opinion on the CGI, is that isn't bad, but I think it could be better. Especially with the flight unit animation. The pods are CGI but they are shaded to fit alongside 2B and 9S. The flight units don't share the same shading and so stick out from the rest of the artstyle. It isn't the worst 3d CGI job I've seen, I just think it could be better. It's nothing that will stop me from continuing to watch.
Video game adaptations are notoriously bad. Especially 1 to 1 adaptations. Because you cannot match the freedom of interactivity when translating just the cutscenes. Same thing that happened to persona 5.
I'll be honest the mech suit CGI is bad, but other than that I do enjoy the rest of it
I watched the episode and as a person who has played the game, hats off to A-1 this was incredible even the cgi was good. So excited 😆
Blackbox cannot be done, but destroy the bunker by explosion using self destruct is posible
The people complaining about cgy are not players of the game
15:54 error it is in the game but is not animated is just told the true role and the betray buckle thats is mencioned in the anime, the diference is the time anime at the start and the game like very advance on the story
The first episode was good! But I do have my issues. CGI was pretty wonky in the first episode, but honestly, it's whatever, I can look past it. Like one or two transitions were very abrupt and sudden, the main one I can think is the switch to 9S's introduction, where the music just stopped in it's tracks. But ok, that's fine. The episode felt kind of rushed for me, but that like 40 minutes or so of gameplay that they had translate into one episode. Of course, the best way to experience this game is to.. play the game, that's true of all video game adaptations, of course it won't feel the same. I have faith in this series and I know that it'll be great, because aside from all my nitpicking, it's great! The style is nice, the music is from the game so that's nice, and the 2D animation is superb, and the 3D animation is ok at it's worst and awesome at it's best. The first episode isn't the best thing ever, but it's the 👏 first 👏 damn 👏 episode 👏
Things will get better from here. To those who wanna drop it, wait until you've watched up to episode three, and then decide, stopping at the first episode isn't fair. Anyways, that's it from me. Can't wait to see where this goes!!
I fucking love it, CGI and everything, hoping for A2 to make an appearance or just a cameo, screw the haters.
It is totally loyal to the game, and it's choosing the best way narrate the main story… a single episode is not enough to criticize it… wait for it
??
This is by far one of the best video game adaptations to anime that has ever been done. And that is my opinion in only 2 episodes. It is extremly faithful to the game (and even adds new stuff). If you like the game you should love the show.
It is fitting in all 3 playthroughs into a single season which makes sense. So everything that would happen latter is happening all at once.
Who the fuck hates it? It's been 2 episodes and both great. A bit rushed if anything. Damn these weebs
Lemme say one thing:
If you really need to pause and zoom in every frame just to desperately nitpick in order to somehow complain and validate your takes, then you have no point.
It was simply beautiful.
