Quick Answer
NieR:Automata Ver1.1a is the TV anime adaptation of Square Enix’s action RPG, following androids 2B and 9S in a ruined future. This guide separates the Crunchyroll title page for supported territories outside Japan from direct Japan title pages. Confirm the live offer on the service before subscribing.
Supported Territories Outside Japan
| Service | Access type | Region | What this page confirms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crunchyroll | Subscription streaming | Supported territories outside Japan | This is a direct series page. Confirm current episodes, audio/subtitles, and plan access in your account country. A Japan-region check returned HTTP 403 and a currently-unavailable page, so this route is not presented as a Japan option. |
