I like the dragon design too! I much prefer them as these overgrown tadpole looking things compared to the first episode when it became the super dragon.
I was genuinely surprised that the devs are still active. I had thought that Haga had been sending out reports to the void this whole time. I guess the devs never felt the need to fix the wall that one of the other debuggers fell into back in episode 2. Or, you know, intervene in the fates of Haga's friends and save them from their glitched states.
Just happened to catch your comment from the local feed and wanted to point out that this thread is in the old community. It looks like shinobu is still kicking and picked up the second cour of Nier as the first season (see the links for show info all point to season 1) and is creating threads for the episodes. The thread from rikka for the new episode is here. Just want to make sure that your comment ends up somewhere where rikka will count it for engagement towards creating subsequent episode threads.
Honestly surprised that shinobu still lives though. The little crontab that could.
