Synopsis
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. When their button-mashing shenanigans are interrupted by rampaging monsters, hacker attacks, and killer eggplants, the goddesses must 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, and an evil CPU hell-bent on destroying everything in her path – using any cheat code necessary!

Editor's Review
“Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation” is an anime adaptation of the popular video game franchise, Hyperdimension Neptunia. The series aired from July 12, 2013, to September 27, 2013, and consists of 12 episodes. The story revolves around the four realms of Gamindustri (Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee, and Leanbox) and their goddesses.
The series begins with the goddesses signing a friendship treaty that bans any attempt at claiming Share energy through military force. However, Neptune, the CPU Goddess of Planeptune, spends her time goofing off and playing games rather than doing her job, causing her land’s Shares to plummet. The series follows Neptune and her friends’ attempts at raising Shares, while dealing with an external threat that could spell the end of both the Goddesses and Gamindustri itself.
One of the strengths of “Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation” is its unique premise and charming characters. The series offers a refreshing take on the idol genre, with a host of unique characters that are, as one reviewer puts it, “fucking rare”. The series is praised for its accurate portrayal of Japanese idol culture, capturing the behavior and stereotypes of Japanese idols.
However, despite its potential, “Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation” has been criticized for its incoherent storytelling. Critics have pointed out that the series is filled with exposition, yet fails to convey a clear narrative. This issue is further exacerbated by the series’ dull story, which fails to make even the idol battles interesting.
In conclusion, “Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation” is a series with a lot of potential that unfortunately falls short due to its convoluted plot and lack of character development. While it may appeal to fans of the idol genre and those familiar with the game, it may not be the best choice for those looking for a coherent and engaging narrative. Despite its flaws, “Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation” is a testament to the charm of its characters and is worth checking out for its unique take on the idol genre.
