NieR:Automata Ver1.1a Episode 12: Flowers for M[A]chines

Oh my, when “Sound of the End” started playing for Adam… tbh this guy just FAFO trying to figure out what the human experience is like LOL. Dude, you could’ve saved yourself from the emotional damage if you weren’t so obsessed with humans 💔😭 It’s hard to talk about the other ICONIC parts of this ep without spoiling, so let me just tell you: DO NOT MISS ANY OF IT. So anyway, it’s the last ep of this 1st cour. And just like finishing Ending A of the game, this end feels incomplete. In general, this anime’s a little haphazardly put together since the events are all over the place… though I can understand the struggle of cramming all the lore of a video game into a short anime series 😅 Can’t wait to see how the 2nd season continues this story~

This was a great anime but it felt like I was missing quite a bit of information. Some areas felt like I had to research to understand but it was an interesting watch. I always want something that makes me think about what was going through the writers head with creating this plot. In general, this was a lot of fun and I'll watch a VOD to see the full plot. [8.91/10]

The credits in the middle of the episode confused me, but at the same time, they intrigued me. The scene between 2B and 9S was emotional, you could hardly believe they were androids. The person's smile in 9S's data at the end was so creepy that I don't want to watch it again. And what theeee!!! The story is getting deeper and more complex. It really hooks you and makes you want to watch Season 2 right away.
