As is usually the case with Tarot, the cartoon turned out to be pretty crazy.
The release of the anime series NieR Automata Ver1.1a has been suspended indefinitely, but Yoko Taro, the creator of the original game, decided to entertain bored fans. Taro and his team have prepared a puppet cartoon set in the NieR universe.
The cartoon is based on the track Antinomy, playing in the credits of NieR Automata Ver1.1a, and the storyline of the game itself. For 10 minutes, the cartoon characters reproduce the events of NieR Automata in a rather peculiar way.
True, Polygon notes, there is a nuance: the story is told not from the point of view of the heroes of the game, but on behalf of their opponents. It is noteworthy that at some point the same bandages are on the robots as on the heroes of NieR Automata.
At the end of the cartoon, it turns out that everything is more complicated than it seems. First, the robots kill those who created them, and then it turns out that the robots recreate their creators again and again – only to kill them again.
Moreover: in fact, the cartoon turns out to be a performance on display in a landfill. It seems that none of his viewers lived to see the finale.
This is interesting
