Exciting to see Yoko Taro is leading. He hasn't let me down yet.

Also interesting to see Okabe as composer.

[–] NineSwords@ani.social 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yoko Taro alone is enough for me to get giddy about this. Add Okabe to the mix, and you get magic.

[–] nightlily@leminal.space -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

His gacha game (SINoALICE) was pretty bad.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

It was fine. NieR Reincarnation was a lot better, IMO.

[–] ReluctantlyZen@ani.social 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's unexpected. It does feel right up Yoko Taro's alley, but does he have experience doing this for anime? I feel like there'd be quite a difference between games and anime in that regard

[–] NineSwords@ani.social 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would say he had at least dipped his toes into anime with the Nier Automata anime.

Also this:

"The work I was most inspired by is Neon Genesis Evangelion. I thank you for praising NieR: Automata’s story, but actually it’s pretty much just a retelling of Evangelion"

True

"The work I was most inspired by is Neon Genesis Evangelion. I thank you for praising NieR: Automata’s story, but actually it’s pretty much just a retelling of Evangelion"

Yeah, makes sense

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sequel or remake? Because I’m not sure either could work. Mildly curious though

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Potential spoilers for anyone who hasn’t watched both the series and the Rebuild movies…

Third time loop.

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Spoiler

If we got bad end in the first loop, good end in the second (?) movie loop, does this mean we finally get the true ending in the third loop?

[–] Juice@midwest.social 5 points 3 days ago

How to make NG:E even more insane? Put Yoko Taro in charge of the story

[–] NineSwords@ani.social 3 points 3 days ago

Boy oh boy. It's been a while since I was hyped for something this much.

[–] orenj@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 days ago

WHAT

Absolutely not expecting something like this.

One Piece, Ghost in the Shell, now this? What landmark Anime will get revived next?

Madoka Magica's new movie is supposed to come out this year.
