The writers honestly try to put different spins on it by placing characters in various roles that they were initially suited for another one, i.e., Neptune doesn’t get transported to an extra dimension like in Victory.
The plot for the show follows nearly every single game that has come out. The only reason for this is that they wanted to hold them off for a sequel because they haven’t appeared chronologically where the show is adapting, right? Unfortunately, she is nowhere to be found, not even in a cameo appearance which is quite unfair considering that at least 5pb is shown only twice.
One of the best characters in the 2nd Neptunia game was NISA. There are hardly any other characters in the Neptunia universe that either don’t appear or aren’t shown very often. This department has one crucial problem with the gushing about the characters themselves. You can’t go wrong with Hanazawa mixed with sadomasochism. The side characters, which are the CPU candidates, have equal enough screen time to bolster some memorable scenes together, though really, could they have at least given us more of Rom and Ram? And finally, Plutia and her rather exciting alter-ego once again never fails to be as sadistically hilarious as usual with her perverted antics. Our other main CPU, Goddesses Blanc and Vert are great together in how they always argue over such silly things. One scene involving her stalker and showing many pictures of her alone was enough to send me howling on the ground and laughing. The tsundere princess herself, Noire, has some great laughs in her hilarious attempts to hide her side. Eventually, I grew fond of it after a while. Neptune is an absolute joy to listen to, as always, with her hilarious and sarcastic personality that initially annoyed me. Calling the art to be “horrendous” or “terrible,” on the other hand, would be a stretch because, for what they’re worth, the fighting scenes are done relatively decent, and there are some moments where the art indeed does add to the humor.Īs any fan of Neptunia can all agree, every single character is funny and charming to look at and listen to their witty dialogues with one another. The show's art can almost compare to Saturday morning cartoons where the colors look too bright and hardly have any excellent lush drawings like in the games.
When you compare the art to the show and the original game’s art done masterfully and beautifully by Tsunako, it’s not what you would call a great transition. Still, sadly it doesn’t come off as underwhelming and average at best.

It is nice to see the girls in full animation instead of just slightly animated portraits on-screen in your typical Visual Novel fashion. This points to the show’s main problem: It doesn’t go as far as the games in terms of quality comedy. However, given how the Neptunia games have endless hours of non-stop comedy in their fun dialogue, understandably, the show is limited due to its 13-episode running time. The parody included in this adaptation is just as charming and lovable in portraying the girls as consoles of past generations. I can understand people passing it off as another generic moe show-not knowing that the Neptunia games themselves are parodying those types of moe tropes. Neptunia plays off as your typical moe show with cute girls in suggestive positions.

What I got in the end for Neptunia the Animation was nothing but partial disappointment thatĬan only be described as a wasted potential for a series that had a lot going for it in terms of comedy and parody.
So likewise, I was in the same mindset going into this. However, when your game is already one that acts like an anime, you think to yourself that this will already be a slam dunk based on how it was born to become an anime show in the first place. It’s one thing when you are a fan of a video game that all of a sudden has been confirmed to have an anime adaptation and feel nothing but contempt and frustration in the reasoning why they would bother.
