About Hyperdimension Neptunia

Here is what Hyperdimension Neptunia (超次元ゲイム ネプテューヌ THE ANIMATION) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, comedy and ecchi anime by david production (2013). The setup: Welcome to Gamindustri, a fantastical world where all your favorite video game consoles come to life! Neptune and her fellow Goddesses rule the four kingdoms of Lastation, Leanbox, Lowee, and Planeptune – but their royal duties often take a backseat to their obsession with gaming.

From there, when their button-mashing shenanigans are interrupted by rampaging monsters, hacker attacks, and killer eggplants, the goddesses has to transform into stronger, sexier versions of themselves and fight for their right to game! The bosses get tougher as the game goes on, and the girls will have to work together in order to defeat a bewitching goddess of piracy, an anonymous master hacker.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Neptune (Rie Tanaka) and Noire (Asami Imai) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by david production, so the studio's house style defines how Hyperdimension Neptunia looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.4/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Rie Tanaka voicing Neptune gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2013, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
