NieR:Automata Ver1.1a
In my opinion, it's quite contradictory. Based on the first few episodes, I expected a lot: the anime generally showed everything I had seen in the game at that point, omitting all the tedious moments where nothing happens and the plot doesn't progress, so I liked the format... And overall, everything looks beautiful and good, but I got the feeling that the people involved didn't manage to direct the adaptation properly. For example: the anime ends on the most interesting moment in the middle of a heated battle, and in the next episode, the plot simply continues after a skip. Another example: A2 makes a grand appearance, disappears, and then is briefly shown at the very end, during the "summary."
So, in general, you watch the series in one go, and then some strange directorial decision happens, and the impression instantly spoils. Then it goes back to normal, and then, suddenly, something like that happens again.
There were also some drawbacks, which probably came from the game (although I don't know for sure, but it's likely), such as the rather overused motivation of the main villain.
It could have been amazing if it had been done a little better, and if there hadn't been half-year breaks due to COVID, which ruined the mood to watch... Overall, I like the somewhat melancholic world, the animation, and the development of the relationship between the main characters, so I'm still giving it a relatively high rating, but objectively, it won't appeal to everyone, and I'll be cautious with recommendations: think twice.
7/10
