![]() However, the CPUs remain rivals, even after befriending each other. In the anime, the CPU’s war against each other, a visualization of the eternal video game console war, had come to an end. Let’s take a look at the relationship between the CPUs themselves. ![]() The Neptunia series and Neptunia TV are no exception. Every now and then you find one where there is more to the girls in question than a cute or hot bod and a pretty face. That’s why I can’t hate all ecchi anime or video games…just the ones with dull male leads in them…and some of those are still able to pull off depth when they want to. A majority of the franchise revolves around “ bubbles, giggles and sweet bobbies of all shapes and sizes” and the other half is the surprisingly deep (while still lighthearted) themes the series tackles when it needs to, such as child abduction and experimentation. Everything that happens on the show is exactly what would happen if a newcomer were to pick up a Neptunia game for the first time. What the show excelled at was capturing the spirit of the Neptunia series. The Neptunia series’ strength has always been in the character development and interaction. That is also due in part to the games’ overall storylines not being anything academy award worthy. Night Shyamalan cramming an entire season of The Last Airbender into one movie, missing MANY key components that made the original American anime series great. The second main antagonist is not explained nearly well enough to justify its actions. This is probably due to the show using both series’ current main antagonists and give them both the opportunity to threaten Gamindustri in their own way rather than have only one big bad to take down and create more focus. There are times when the story feels rushed and some parts could have used an extension of 15-16 episodes at least. ![]() While the main story is good, it is not without its hiccups. The overall story, on the other hand, is original and is a worthy separate storyline from the games. Several cutscenes from the three games were taken and used as either part of or the entirety of an episode’s plot. The anime’s story is a mix of all three titles that came out on the Playstation 3 (the first Neptunia, MK2 and Victory) molded into one. Once the first major plot kicks in, it’s smooth sailing from there and I guarantee newcomers won’t be as confused…for the most part. It will leave newcomers to the series lost in the earlier episodes. The amount of references to not only video games of young and old, but also to the Neptunia series itself is astronomical. Granted, the source material is practically made to be turned into an ecchi Girls Club anime but it’s a video game, so it counts. This is, imo, the best motion picture adaptation of a video game I’ve ever seen. What does the future hold in store for Gamindustri?” (From the Neptunia Wiki) It was the dawn of a new, dynamic era marked occasionally by shared laughter, disputes as well as cooperation. Under the treaty, the Goddesses and their younger sisters took a new stage in their relations. However, fearful that the conflict would pointlessly erode their countries’ strength, the Goddesses signed a Friendship Treaty forbidding them from taking the Share by force. ![]() For many long years, these countries fight each other for Share, the source of the Goddesses’ power. The four Goddesses govern four states: Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee and Leanbox. ![]() Beings called the Goddesses rule the countries of this unreal world. “This is Gamindustri ( ゲーム業界 Gamegyokai ?). 6-7/10 overall, depending on who you ask.

Just in case, here are the reviews for all three PS3 video games in the series. I’ll try my best to be as unbiased as possible but I won’t make any promises. Let’s find out as we take a look at Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation. Was it worth the wait or is it yet another crappy motion picture adaptation of a video game series.
