Here is the first half of my analysis for episode 2 of the NieR: Automata Ver 1.1a anime.
This section covers a lot of the groundwork for the characters and events being referenced in the first half of the episode, and at least one music video for you to watch as homework.
Let me know if I've missed anything or if I didn't mention your favorite detail, and I'll see you in a few days with the second half!
