I quite liked it myself, though I was debating 9 or 10, but it could have been longer, even though they may have more later.

Some things that could have happened and such but I really still liked it, only minor complaints. Nice ending really although ended a bit soonish. Still a 5 for this and a 9 overall, just great and I may watch again later.

Not particularly good, but not bad.

I will decide between a 5 and a 6.

I just really liked this anime, not sure why. There were some pretty funny parts, and it was just really enjoyable to watch. Also I really liked the soundtrack and OP and ED, they were so fun and happy. 7/10.

I wasn't expecting much out of this, even though I'm a fan of the games, but I really enjoyed this. I'm glad the adaptation went so well. 8/10 overall, hope there's a second season.

Great ending and also that OST was amazing. Cool episode a really nice way to end the series, and the best part was the "Bar Whore" come back that was really funny. Anyway enjoyed the anime a lot ( im a fan of the game after all ) Hope for another season so we get to see the other character but if not i'll replay the game, so anyhow i liked the series and we still have an OVA coming up....!

Fantastic anime for the game fans. Could have been MOAR though. Lack of Noire meets Noire.

The final episode was pretty lame. The fact that the final enemy suddenly pops out by the end of episode 11 says it all.

So we have a random enemy transform out from nowhere and then gets defeated in one fight, the end.

The final fight was actually subpar, mostly because it is too predictable, not because we all know the good guys( or gals) will win but because I can't se Neptune and co having any plans to tackle the problem other than charging headlong into a fight. Except for a moments wit from Blanc by travelling underground, it was a mostly charge headlong affair with some battlecry.

Yes, there were near death experience thoughou this episode but I highly doubt this show has to guts to let anyone one die, innocent civilians included.

And gosh, Tari really has an annoying voice. The return of Arfoire and mouse was nice but the damage had already been done.

The 2nd half of the series was better than the 1st half and I expected a nice finale to end it on a note that I would give it a second chance if there's a season 2 like Date a Live, but no.

All in all, a very disappointing series. Wikipedia said the game received average to negative reviews and I think this is reflected onto the show as well. The visuals and music is all that comes out good.

I would give this show 3/10.

Pretty decent ending episode I must say some nice conclusion with epic action and just a nice round off for the series! A pretty decent anime in general with some ecchi treats but quite some nice character development!

This a a generally bad anime that was slightly tolerable just for a few references and the hot girl when in goddess mode. It feels like a cheap attempt to cash over gaming fans since they could have made something a lot different with a lot more reference and relevant plot to console wars instead of simply a moeblob with slight fanservice and relatively stupid plot.

Whether the games are fun or not is irrelevant to the anime, i don't get people rating something because they are fans of the games, the anime is the anime and the games are the games, although i doubt the games are very good ether.

Liked how the goddess look but other than that quite the crappy show and even the attempts of comedy felt uninspired.

You're right, a check on wikipedia shows the games got "average to negative reviews"
I though of playing the games as consolation cause they have great visuals like the anime but sadly, they haven't got good reviews either.

And in my opinion, we can never trust ratings you know because this is the internet, not the elections, many people don't take their votes seriously and the simple system is very easy to exploit.

The problem is take this show is not meant to be taken seriously ( something like Nyaruko, although milder) but it fails to establish the fact that it is not supposed to be taken seriously.

And fanboys will be fanboys, at least we have reasons to support our posts.

Aside from the last arc being rushed as hell, it was a nice show. Didn't expect anything from it, turned out to be one of the most enjoyable shows of the season.

The user scores are generally way higher for the whole series in comparison with official reviews (check metacritic or gamefaqs). For Triple A games, it's the other way around. Also, the game series did not fail to improve a lot over the course of three games. You might want to consider this. After all, you need to accept its flaws to enjoy the strengths of Hyperdimension Neptunia. I can totally understand if that's not working for someone, Neptunia does have some hurdles.

The anime did not fail my expectations. They were quite moderate, though. Visualization and "feeling" were quite the same, but I was missing some more trope referencing and fourth-wall breaking. The games did a great job doing so.

Neptune and Nepgear can't fight Rei alone.
That's why Noire, Vert, and Uni joined.
Followed by Blanc, Ram, and Rom.

Neptune takes down Rei's cannon with Victory Slash! (^_^)
But in the end, it was Ms. Witch and Mr. Mouse who defeated her.

Friendship treaty is now dissolved, but my love for this anime will stay strong!
I enjoyed the OST, the ending, and a second season would be nice. (^_^)

Well, that ending is really nice, it did satisfy me ^_^ They all look good with that dress in the end.

The art is really good, the character designs are really beautiful and the voice acting is really cute :3

I really like the atmosphere and their world looks like a really nice place to hang out :D

This Anime was fun, the characters were fun, a season 2 would be nice. Thank you :))

Probably one of the most enjoyable anime that I've ever watched. The characters were all so great and the music was even better. And it was really fun watching them all interact with each other throughout the eps. This was a nice way to end hopefully just the first season off ^^.

The neptunia series has a seriously retarded citizen population.

Anyways, I guess it was nice- consistently average throughout the whole series. I feel like too much of the climax around each arc (except for this last one) was built on melodrama, which I still believe is an inferior storytelling method.

A S2 probably won't come out until the next game (which I believe is centered around Noire <3) comes out.

The ending was cringeworthy, in a bad way, lmao they stood against that freakin blast, with the power of love, or nakama power, that rivals Fairy Tail. -.- It started out fine, but I lost interest as it goes on, which is why it took me this long to complete the series.

I'm familiar with the game series (Neptunia on PS3 and Rebirth on PSVita) so when I saw this was an original story I stopped trying to compare them since, what's the point since they are clearly different things. No matter what you do, you cannot compare the game with it's anime adaptation since it's a different feeling when you're playing the game. And the amount of references to other works is lost since getting rights for them is more trouble for the studio.

Overall I like the music in the anime. Very lively and addicting. I saw a new side of Arfoire here hahaha. So my enjoyment rating for this anime is 9/10.

Rei's Goddess form was awesome. I loved her English voice actress.

Holy Lord, Noire's legs in that dress at the end were incredible.

Overall, I enjoyed the show. Funimation did a great job with the script. It was really funny and clever with tons of references. That's what separated it from being 6 for me, so it's a 7/10.

I actually liked that ending. A relationship of acknowledged friendly rivalry is a lot more interesting than a buddy-buddy relationship forced by a treaty. How'd it go? A good friend is someone you can trade insults with without anyone's feelings getting hurt? I appreciate that, yeah.

This ending was quite nice, kind pleased with it. The anime has been a confusing n interesting time watching, wasnt really a amazing anime and all i could get all hyped about, but it had some "painful" emotional, Funny scenes, but other then that, it wasn't bad, it was good,will rate it 6.7/10 (meaning its 7/10 but oh well, not something i would recommend maybe, but is it worth watching : meh its good n but its a personal taste.

Don't want to give it 7 because I've given better shows a 7.

Overall I used this as a palette cleanser, and it worked well.

Oh and nice to see Blanc get her awesome on!

Even as a Hyperdimention Neptunia game series lover I didn't have much hopes for this show, and dude, gladly I was wrong!

9/10 and I don't understand the rating on mal for this, since it was really well done and works as its own thing, pretty much as the games do.

In the end Arfoire and Pirachu saved them, I guess it was an enemy-to-enemy code in the end. Speaking of Arfoire and Pirachu didn't they decided to quit being villains and grow eggplants instead? Anyways I'm glad they back they make great combo. As for the last battle I thought it was great to watch.

Overall the series was good but all those transformation made saiyans and magical shoujo's side dishes, even my head is spinning from them. But the show lacked something, I don't what, maybe it's the loli version of Neptune or a tangible plot, I guess I will never know. Overall I enjoyed it and will watch the sequel ova.

7/10.

Please can someone tell me why the main villain needed to turn r rated island into a new country and have that fail so she could carry out her plan of domination in this episode. It is refered to in the previous episodes that the robot was taking orders from the client so she had to get that done but I don't understand why. It just feels like a massive plot contrivance just to have a twist at the end of the anime.

I've only played one Neptunia game, will likely play more
It's very self aware with it's fan service and anime tropes, so I can't hate it for that
With that in mind, it was an okay show, definitely enjoyed it, though it didn't really grip me to the point where I felt I NEEDED to binge all 12 episodes.
Peashy was the best character
I think if you're a fan of the franchise you'll probably give 8/10
Anyone else maybe a 5 or 6
Because of that I'll rate it higher than if it were just a run of the mill anime

Outside of the animation and the lack of uni fanservice , everything else was perfect , well at least for a 12 episode anime , the games are so wide that making every main characters shine would take at least 24 episode

I hope the 2 ova will give less serious content , more fanservice
neptune need to do Isekai things

9/10 , i almost never give a 10/10 , so 9/10 is basicaly the best rating i can give
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat
