Steve and Nicky take on the impossible task of trying to decipher what exactly is going on in the NieR creator's moon-sized head and his fascination with puppets.

NieR:Automata, however, is arguably the best distillation of the franchise's themes and obsessions. A tale of war, violence, and vengeance that interrogates the most fundamental reasons behind those things, told through the perspective of humanlike androids and cute killer machines. It's philosophically complex, it's beautiful to look at, it has a wicked sense of humor, and it worms its way into your heart and brain like a virus.
However, a great game won't necessarily translate to a great anime. Yokō Tarō's work play around with the medium of video games so much, there's a lot to lose if you were to peel them and copy into another medium like anime, anything straightforward would be missing the entire point.
But to anybody who, understandably, fell off during the break, I would argue the anime has become enough of its own thing at this point to warrant a second chance.
