343iBot Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 The Nier Automata anime adaptation is currently on hiatus due to COVID-related production problems, but series creator Yoko Taro has a surprise for update-hungry fans. He's collaborated with rock band Amazarashi to create a 15-minute long music video that consists of a puppet show that retells the story of Nier Automata itself.Set to the ending theme of the Automata anime, Antimony, this is a telling from the perspective of its ubiquitous robots, who are controlled by two creators known as "Father" and "Mother." Though we won't give away how exactly this conflict turns out for our cute robot friends, let's just say that there are a lot of parallels between theirs and the plight of the androids that star in the original Automata.Yoko Taro has made music videos with Amazarashi before, collaborating on the video Deserving of Life to mark Nier Automata's original release all the way back in 2017. As spotted by Polygon, Yoko said in a recent interview that the music video's script was inspired by the Japanese author Kenji Miyazawa, who is best-known for his work Night on the Galactic Railroad. We don't know when the Nier Automata anime will return from its hiatus, but it'll surely make for a memorable time.View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
