Drakengard-NieR has the potential to have decent lore which I wished the lore in the first game had expanded instead of turning the series into a pointless romantical soft-porn. NieR: Automata is only liked by women for a playable feminine robot character and pervert guys/lesbians who like to see the robot's back. The only people who care about its story are romantic fans otherwise nothing interesting in NieR: Automata at all. The video game is one of the rare video games I regret even finishing because I wanted to see if the story could add anything decent to the NieR lore but it never did, it went full-on pointless romantic story by ignoring NieR universe and it almost ignored Drakengard universe which technically NieR universe is inside of Drakengard universe so I would like to watch about Drakengard universe and its relation to NieR universe instead of this pointless anime. If I had no interest in the post-apocalyptic genre I wouldn't play Drakengard 1, NieR 1 and therefore I wouldn't play NieR: Automata as the 2nd game has nothing to even interest any player unless you like 2B (for some reason) and/or you are a die-hard romantic fan.
There are so many wrongs in the story: Why make a robot able to fall in love and what's the point of the story focus so much on robot love? What's the point of robots being so emotional? Why do robots even have gender and what's even the point of robots caring about their appearance and why are their body even different than rest of the robots? What's the point of robots wearing cloth and why do they even have hair? It's clear the design of robots is some Final Fantasy + BSDM stuff then how do they even see while blindfolded and why their eyes are blindfolded? The technology is advanced enough to create powerful robots and power armour then why do robots use swords and whatnot primitive weapons instead of advanced laser guns or something? I can keep writing all the plot holes in NieR: Automata but if people had cared about the story making sense the video game wouldn't sell that much.
The first NieR game has a better plot and lore to make anime of it but they clearly wanted to satisfy perverts with this anime as if watching the video game's Youtube video isn't enough. Why would anyone watch this anime when you can watch its gameplay videos on Youtube and you can play the video game as it's of course the best experience? It would be okay if the story is different or something but it's 100% anime adaptation of the video game so there is nothing different to watch. You better play the video game instead. It would be better to develop a media that takes place in Drakengard and NieR universe as a new standalone story instead of making anime of the video game that has nothing different to watch. Even the video game was boring to play but it's even boring to watch so why turn the video game into anime? I have no idea what they were thinking.
