Following a recent covid-related delay, the release date and time for NieR: Automata episode 4 have been announced. The coronavirus epidemic nearly brought down the entire anime industry at its height, as well as many other global entertainment sectors.

The Misfit of Demon King School, Spy Classroom, Bofuri, and Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible new episodes have all been postponed globally due to the pandemic, which is regrettably still causing significant issues for the industry as a whole.

The good news is that NieR: Automata is finally scheduled to return this weekend after its COVID-related delay – here is everything fans need to know about the air date and time for episode 4.

What is the Best Place to Watch Nier: Automata Episode 4?

NieR: Automata Ver1.1a is available to stream on two distinct platforms in North America. The first website where NieR may be viewed is Crunchyroll, renowned as the most extensively used website for watching anime movies.

But VRV is the other place where you may view this anime. Although this option exists, the VRV platform is somewhat more constrained than the one on Crunchyroll. Hence, if you are interested in subscribing to one but are not currently doing so, we advise choosing Crunchyroll.
