This is a quick look at the 8th Livestream @STORIA that was broadcast on NicoNico and YouTube tonight!

SINoALICE Collaboration with NieR Replicant Coming in 1 Day!

There’s just one more day until the NieR Replication collaboration with SINoALICE begins! Hope you’re all well stocked up on gems! I’ve got almost 8,000 worth and I plan on SPENDING THEM ALL for my Bro Nier!! <3

Here’s what Brother Nier says in the video:

No matter how hard I pray, there is a hope that will never be received.
It was all we could do to keep on living in this world.
Whether this is reality or just a dream, I will save my sister.
Because that is my “reason for living”.
That’s what I decided.
Yonah… Give Yonah back!

  3. Weak Character Tomosaki-kun
  4. The Journey of Elaina
  5. Little Armory
  6. Little Boy Hanako-kun
  7. Nogi Wakaba is a Hero!

I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing a NieR:Automata themed anime, but…
I want a KimiShini anime first, please and thank you.

SINoALICE Collaboration with NieR Replicant Coming in 2 Days!

Two day countdown for the up-coming collaboration with NieR Replicant in SINoALICE, and the official Twitter account posted another teaser video. It’s apparently not yet available on their YouTube channel, so you can only view it from their post on twitter. (I’ll update this post when they upload it to YouTube.)

Here’s a rough translation of the spoken and written lines:

Emil: Massive magical power and a sturdy body.
An imitation human created as a weapon.
Even so, they said there’s meaning in it even for me, that we’re friends.
Or so I was told.

Nier: We would destroy humanity.

It also appears that Chunsoft’s Zanki Zero is also featured in this issue! I’ll have to take another look at that later…
