After a three-month long wait, the NieR Automata anime adaptation returns on July 23, 2023. Its four last episodes will air back to back on the same day to make up for the wait. These will be episodes 9 through 12. The production committee thanked viewers for their patience and support through the various difficulties experienced during the broadcast of the show, and apologized to viewers for the wait.

The anime added some extra story/lore from stuff outside the game, like (minor game spoilers:)

spoilerA2's backstory
from the stage play, so if you have played the game but haven't gotten around to watching that stage play it might be worth seeing the anime for the slightly extra story.

If you haven't played the game then I feel like most people would recommend playing it first, though I can't even remember if the anime has spoiled anything beyond the first playthrough in the game.

I am still wondering if they are going to make an anime-unique or extended ending, so I at least am looking forward to the last episodes.
