But yeah, that solely depends on the quality - which, ironically, most video game adaptations really lack, outside of some VN adaptations. NieR anime though by itself, was actually really interesting with some twists and implications here and there that indicate it as not being a straight adaptation of the game but still following its core, which honestly made it good for everyone, but Aniplex really, REALLY screwed up with it's production. |

Keep in mind that Cyberpunk is a tabletop RPG that has been around since 1988, and both the video game Cyberpunk 2077 and the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners were based on it. The anime was never intended as an adaptation of the video game. Anyway, exactly what count as a "hit" is relative and there have been various anime adaptations of games that were successful to some degree or another. I'm obligated to point out that the 2006 anime adaptation of Utawarerumono, originally a 2002 visual novel, is generally considered to be very good; it was at least popular enough that they later went on to make more anime based on the sequels, I still see it get mentioned often when people talk about classic fantasy anime series, and there's a good case to be made that it's more enjoyable to watch that than it is to play the 2002 game (but I wouldn't say the same of the sequels). |

Considering it airs at midnight, that's really early. |

That's because P4/5 animes sucked. The whole empty protag idea from the game doesn't work in a show. Anime needs an actual protag who is a character with relationships that matter. Things need to be changed to accomodate a show. Maybe an actual couple emerges, maybe the other characters might take an interest in each other and there'd be multiple dynamics even with side characters (like Nier is actually doing) that happen without the MC being around, as if they were independent people in an actual world, but nooooo, wouldn't want to upset the other girl fanbases! So goodbye any serious romantic tension/drama that would make it interesting or side character development or realistic world building. Nier at least has actual characters and the show was creating new content while changing other stuff and still managed to be faithful to the source material. Persona never had the balls, and the production and animation wasn't great either considering the popularity of the franchise, so clearly neither the committee nor staff really cared and knew it was just a carbon copy comercial product. It's a shame that Nier's production got screwed, but you can tell these guys were trying and even the delay tells us they won't allow themselves to half ass it. |

Hi all, thanks very much for all your comments about how episode 12 might not be the final episode. Me using the word "final" in this article was an unfortunate assumption on my part; as this isn't the first time this has happened with a delayed anime where the anime airs all the rest of the episodes all at once as a special, I was under the assumption that these were the final episodes.
But to be clear, the anime staff did not specifically state that episodes 9-12 were the final episodes in its news post. The news post stated that broadcast information aside from the exact channels and times listed for episodes 9-12 will be announced at a later date; it is currently unclear if this is in regard to other channels airing those four episodes, or possible future episodes for the series. As such, it is currently unclear if episode 12 will be the final episode of the series. The anime's website does not currently list any home video releases that may give insight into how many episodes the anime will have in total. I changed the wording in the article and in the headline to reflect all this. My apologies for making that assumption that it was the final episodes. We'll be sure to write an update once we know one way or the other. |

Cool. Here's hoping we get an S2, too, which tells the exact same story as S1 but from a slightly different perspective, to fully replicated route B.

Considering this is the staff of 86, that explains the delays. At least they are capable of adapting the ending (especially after ending b) which is sure was poweful.

That would be endless 8 levels of awefulness if they did that, plus it’s unnecessary. Its already clear they have blended A and B. |

I hope this gets the full 24 episode release it was supposed to.
The problem is Aniplex likes to take any series that has trouble during its production run and burry it under 10ft of concrete so it will never see the light of day. good luck if you were expecting/hoping a home video release outside of Japan. its like they are embarrassed to show any weakness. |
