just thinking about how reincarnation's art design is one of the most art a video game has ever designed and some of its best art is only used for one time loading screens
favorite details include:
the first one is from yudil's story and even though it wasn't revealed until the next chapter you can already see the real sarafa hiding in the mirror
i think about the sarafa circle, sarafa ex and the yudil city ones almost daily, they are ingrained in my mind
the way all the ex stories are side portraits, but then the rod stories are front facing i'm still so sad we wont get rods for s2 q_q you might notice from this selection that i am very biased
the way they only add pulsing gold/an iridescent gradient in their final story segments is so fire
mama is touching priyet's reflection in saryu and priyet's shattered mirror black creature under a white sheet solidarity
it's kind of a shame that they don't really make clear who made all of these
btw looking at the credits real quick: since when is kimihiko fujisaka art supervisor on this game??? how did i not know that...
also i love how the japanese cast list begins and ends with yumi hara. she really brought something special to this game, it just feels very fitting. i do hope we hear her again in a drakenier context after reincarnation ends...

Nier: Automata 1.1a Cour 2 reactions so far:
Ep1: Not sure I like how they revealed the whole 2E thing right away but the episode was good.
Ep2: FUCK YEAH EXPLOSIONS SHITS HAPPENING OH NO EVERYONE IS FUCKED
Ep3: FUCK YEAH LOOK AT 2B BEING A MAJOR BADASS HELL YEAH SHE'S NOT DEAD (YET)
Ep4: PAIN SO MUCH PAIN AAAAAAAAAA HE WENT BACK FOR HER GOODBYE 2B 😭😭😭
Ep5: Had a feeling it would be A2 again. Reusing past Pearl Harbor Descent clips was eh but the new stuff was good
Ep6: OH my GOD this is FUCKING ADORABLE A2 and tHE KIDS POOR 9S THOUGH man they're really just having him run around being sad
Ep7: What. Wtf why did they just kill 21O right off the bat like that? He didn't even get to fight her??? A2 didn't finish her off either that was important for 9S' downward spiral! Also this boy hates flowers. Oh he's running around being sad more. YEAH more cute A2 and villager moment. What--Pascal immediately threw away his pascifism.
Ep8: Wait. Wait stop. Why tf is he immediately so violent??? Not trying to evacuate or even see if the hostile machines are a threat to them in the first place? 9S running around being sad more. Yep Pascal has a goliath and wants to kill. We know. A2 wtf you're going to lead the machines to camp if you send the kids there!!! NO MORE PUPPET SHOWS?
Ep9: Fucking...ZOMBIES?

I am very interested in these ocs
*cracks knuckles*
OKAY!
(you have opened Pandora's box >:D )
So a quick background on this fandom so I'm not just spouting incomprehensible gibberish. Nier Automata is a game where humanity has been driven off the planet and into lunar colonies by invading aliens, who used machine lifeforms as their weapons. Humans responded by creating androids to fight against the machines. The androids and machines have been in a stalemate for centuries.
I have 2 OCs, Izzy and Vira. They're both androids. Izzy is a nickname for 11S, a scanner type model. Scanners specialize in recon and data gathering. She is overly curious, which is a known quirk of all scanners. For her, it comes up as she keeps picking up viruses from when she's hacking/scanning machines.
Vira, I don't have a model number for. But she's stationed on the Bunker, the orbiting space station that's this android group's base of operations. She works in hacking, debugging, and repairs. Basically she's an android doctor. She got the nickname because she's very good at dealing with viruses. Which she got because she works a lot with Izzy, who keeps picking up the damn logic viruses from the enemy, Izzy, you gotta be more careful!
If I go too far into the storyline it'll give spoilers for the actual game, but I'll give the setup for where I basically intend to start their story. Izzy picks up a virus and doesn't contain it well enough. She gets detained and wiped. Factory reset. This is sad, but it happens (pretty frequently, actually. The game is very philosophical about what it means to be who we are and how our memories affect our concept of 'self', which is a fascinating concept to play around with when you've got androids who literally upload and download their memory data).
Except Izzy has gone and done this enough times that the higher-ups decided to tinker with her settings on this reset. So the next time Vira sees model 11S, she's viscerally off-put because that's not Izzy. That's not her friend. This isn't right.
So Vira gets hit hard by the denial stage of grief. By which I mean she finds the data that wasn't uploaded to the server from Izzy's memory (because it's virus infested) and basically.... downloads it into herself. In a quarantined section, of course! She's not self-terminating! And then, because she's now on borrowed time until she gets found out and she gets wiped, she runs. She manages to get herself and Izzy's data down to Earth and starts hiding out among the other androids on the surface that aren't directly affiliated with the group she's from. Now she just has to do enough debugging to get Izzy's data decontaminated, and she can bring her friend back.

2B and 21O: please for the love of god stop asking questions about the YoRHa betrayers, every time you do that you mysteriously disappear
9S: so what did they do that made them get in trouble and be executed by us, like I’m super curious I promise I won’t post it on my tumblr
