NieR: Automata
Some games have an art style that lends itself well to an anime adaptation. Others have incredible stories that would easily carry over as a plot for an entire series and have characters that are just so captivating that just an anime about them eating breakfast everyday just seems like it would still be a great time.
The NieR games, on the other hand, don’t offer just one of these reasons to be adapted into an anime. They have all of them. NieR and NieR: Automata tout the type of overarching narrative, art style, and character development that any anime lover would swoon over. While both games would give any team of writers a lot of great content to work with, it’s NieR: Automata that would likely emerge as the real star of the show. The key plot points that are explored in NieR: Automata really allow the entire story to ramp up quite a bit while further developing its main characters in an impactful way.
