The Aniplex Online Fest 2022 event announced the main staff, cast, and a teaser promotional video for the NieR:Automata television anime series on Saturday. The anime is scheduled to premiere in January 2023.

Yui Ishikawa (Shingeki no Kyojin) and Natsuki Hanae (Summertime Render) are reprising their roles from the game as YoRHa 2-gou B-gata and YoRHa 9-gou S-gata, respectively. Hiroki Yasumoto (ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka) and Kaoru Akiyama (Detective Conan) are also returning as Pod 042 and 153.

Staff
Director: Ryouji Masuyama (Blend-S)
Series Composition: Yoko Taro, Ryouji Masuyama
Character Design, Chief Animation Director: Jun Nakai (Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note)
Music: MONACA (Summertime Render)

Developed by PlatinumGames, the action role-playing game was published by Square Enix on PlayStation 4 in Japan in February 2017, followed by North America and PAL countries in March that year. The game was also released on PC in the same month and on Xbox One in June 2018. The game serves as a sequel to the 2010 video game NieR—a spin-off to the Drakengard game series.

Looks nice. Can't wait for it to come out. I hope they manage to adapt the story well into TV anime format, wonder how they will do it.

Still skeptical about this. Yeah the animation can look great af but it wouldn’t matter if the story is butchered. I heard Yoko Taro wants to give the anime an original ending and that might be for the best if it’s true. Hoping it'll live up to the game since it's one of my favorites.

I wonder how much it will be an advertisement for the game and how full-fledged anime. Judging by recent collaborations, the game is well advertised.

I love the game. Look forward for this and Genshin Impact.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

Hopefully this will be good. The original game was awesome, but I’m not sure if a lot of what made it special would translate well into a non video game medium.

I might be one of the few gamers on this planet that hasn't played this game, so I'm hoping that this anime does it justice and I can see why this game was so beloved

I'm talking about some graphical problems like with resolution. Playing with pad is better anyway.

my guess is that they will copy what Tekken Bloodline did and that is making the fighting scenes 3D while talking scenes are in 2D but im fine with that too

Anyone knows what about A2 or main story? Perhaps the main story will be like A/B endings.

I have hundreds of hours in the Nier and Drakkengard games so I can't wait to see this. I hope Jun Eishima has some involvement in this.
