Aoki Yuka (moge) was the one in charge of the C parts in Nier Automata Ver1.1a. These little shorts appear at the end of the episode, showing puppet versions of the characters. Considering how the actual episodes are rather dramatic and tragic, they can be fun and cute palate cleansers. The contrast is also something that is in Yoko Taro’s works ever since the early days of Drakengard, which can be very humorous in tone despite how dark the narrative can get.
