Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation: WARNING: Mild Spoilers What do you get when you blend Kill La Kill Kantai Collection and Sailor Moon together? This Hyperdimension Neptunia is already a very popular franchise and its anime is...pretty good actually. The show is about a war between 4 different goddesses from 4 different countries Planeptune Leanbox Lowee and Lastation in Gamindustri yes thats a pun. The characters sign a peace treaty though and put their ways behind them to become friends. The animation is decent at best. For a David Productions animated series it sure does look like it was made by SHAFT instead. The fights are well choreographed and the character animation and fight animation did get better slowly over the series but this is definitely the weakest David Productions has gone with any of their series. Compared to Jojos Bizarre Adventure or Fire Force it makes the animation on it look like a PowerPoint Slideshow. Lmao. Its like Kill La Kill they save the huge budget stuff for the transformations and battles than the character animation despite that the character animation is actually pretty damn good by itself. The writing is pretty slow at the start at the least as they are trying to find a specific plot point to start on. Which took them about 6 episodes dont worry those past episodes are also good as well and entertaining. For the most part its mostly just them fooling around Until Peashy and Plutia enter the scene. The characters are very loveable and fun my personal favorite character is even though its pretty clich Neptune/Purple Heart she seems like a very fun person to hang out with. But all of them are excellent and unique I like them. The 1st intro was just edited in scenes from the series itself with the exception of the near end of it. and was a pretty meh intro. Luckily the second one fixes this adds original scenes and overall fits the tone of the anime better. There are specific outros depending on the episodes one for 2 parters and the other for the usual episodes and both are pretty good. Theres also one exclusive for episode 10 which was pretty heartfelt. The fanservice is pretty mild but sometimes it can get pretty Kill La Killsy. The furthest theyve ever gone was on episode 8 and its not that far compared to fanservice heavy shows like Konosuba or KLK either. Id still say it has a lot though. Also there are tons of references to real video games jabs at common tropes in anime and 4th wall breaks Neptunia is well known for doing stuff like this. Overall a very fun experience but with a pretty slow start. But if you like Nep then its worth it Animation: 8/10 Writing: 8/10 Characters: 10/10 Intro: 1st = 7/102nd = 9.5/10 Outro: 1st = 8/102nd = 8/10Exclusive = 9/10 Overall: 10/10 Rating: 90/100
