Various sources from the anime industry had previously commented on the production of the anime adaptation NieR: Automata he was in quite a bit of trouble, and it seems the new news confirms that information. It is important to note that “manufacturing” is something completely different from “adaptation”, ie The series might "look nice" but is a total mess behind the scenes.
Well, the popular leaker OECUF shared an update informing that the fourth episode of the anime NieR: Automata Ver1.1a will be postponed indefinitely and instead re-air episodes 1 through 3 in Japan. It's pretty early for a series to go off the air, which would show that there are problems in the early stages of production.
However, it should also be noted that this information is not official yet, but rather a leak. Yes OK OECUF has provided leaks that have been confirmed in the past, there is always a chance that the information is incorrect. It's better in the end Wait for official confirmation when the third episode airs this weekend.
