NieR: Automata Ver1.1a” is an anime adaptation of the acclaimed video game “NieR: Automata”, a popular title developed by PlatinumGames and published by Square Enix. This series is set in a bleak post-apocalyptic world where humanity faces an existential threat: “mechanical life forms” created by invading aliens. These machines have taken control of Earth, forcing humans to take refuge on the Moon.

In a last-ditch attempt to regain their home, the humans rely on a group of highly advanced androids known as YoRHa soldiers. Prominent among them is YoRHa 2-gou B-cat, better known as “2B,” an all-purpose battle android whose purpose is to fight tirelessly to free Earth from its mechanical oppressors.

The series plunges us into an unrelenting war between the YoRHa androids and the mechanical life forms. However, as the conflict escalates, the hidden truths behind this brutal battle begin to emerge. The androids, especially 2B, begin to face disturbing revelations that question the reality of their existence and the true purpose of their struggle.

2B, the unwavering warrior, finds herself caught in a whirlwind of existential dilemmas as she faces the harsh reality of war. Her journey is not only a struggle for the liberation of humanity, but also a search for identity and purpose. The series explores profound themes such as the nature of conscience, the morality of war and the limits of sacrifice for the greater good.
