NieR Automata, the critically acclaimed action RPG from Square Enix and PlatinumGames, is getting a second season anime adaptation. The news was confirmed by animation studio Aniplex and streaming service Crunchyroll on July 23, 2023.

The first season of NieR Automata premiered on January 7, 2023, and was met with positive reviews from fans and critics alike. The anime follows the story of 2B, a YoRHa android, as she is dispatched to Earth to battle the Machine Lifeforms, a race of hostile robots. Along the way, she encounters 9S, another YoRHa android, and together they uncover the truth about the war between humans and machines.

The Plot

The year is 5012. After the sudden aerial invasion of Earth by aliens, mankind is forced to take refuge on the moon. The surviving humans launch a counterattack using android soldiers, but the war reaches a stalemate as the Machine Lifeforms continue to multiply infinitely.

In a desperate attempt to turn the tide, humanity deploys a new unit of android soldiers: YoRHa. 2B, just deployed to Earth, meets 9S, an analyst currently stationed there, where they experience a slew of unusual events during their assignment.

The first season of NieR Automata explores themes of existentialism, identity, and the nature of reality. It is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant anime that is sure to please fans of the game and newcomers alike.

What to Expect

The second season of NieR Automata is sure to be just as thought-provoking and action-packed as the first season. Fans can expect to see more of 2B and 9S’s journey as they uncover the truth about the war between humans and machines. They will also likely encounter new characters and challenges as they continue to fight for their survival.
