NieR Automata v1.1a #23 — Empty Final Dungeon
September 20th, 2024
I hope the game's last area was slightly more populated than this.
If you're wondering about Bye Bye Earth, apparently last week's episode was the last one, with no more announced or expected near as I can tell. Which is a little strange considering it 'ended' with a next episode preview, completely fooling me. Plus, also, you know, both protagonists having not completed anything approaching an arc at all. Hell, Belle's still stuck on the initial sidequest before she can actually begin her journey, plus Adonis has fallen to THE DARKNESS. Why wouldn't you end right there? What a complete fiasco that show was.
Impressions:
Speaking of fiascos. If the show's going to keep repeating itself, then so am I. Get on with it. How many times are the antagonists going to show up as holograms just to grin evilly? How many times are random enemies going to pop out of the woodwork just to cut away from them to listen to exposition being droned at the audience in MC Escher nonsensical backgrounds? How many times is 9S going to scream ravenously and stab something out of impotent rage for 2B? That's been the summary for virtually every episode of the last two months of the show. Well, that and "rocks fall, everybody dies." I think my favorite part was where they suddenly remembered you can equip different weapons in the game, so threw that in out of nowhere.
