I'm hoping that it won't only be 1 cour, if it is then it best be way more then 12 episodes or they will do a poor job on this anime.

If it's way more than 12 then it's no longer one cour (which is roughly 11-14 episodes, usually). There are rare exceptions like Kokoro Connect (17) or OreImo (16) but those tend to be bonus episodes released later.

Anyway we don't even know if it'll be a TV series yet. Might be a short OVA or something.


While I get what you're saying, Neptunia is quite a popular JRPG series in Japan atm. After seeing the success of Persona 4s anime, I doubt it'll just be an OVA. This is likely a TV series.

Exactly, it is popular in Japan an, I doubt they will just make a one episode ova to it an, crush all the hopes of the fans who have been wanting to see this as an anime.

Yes, it is stupid as hell and it knows it, that's part of why it's good. The whole thing is a satire on the gaming industry and otaku culture in general.

The first game was incredibly dull and... ugh. The second game however has a lot more improvements. Of course, I'm not saying it's the bestest game or anything like that.

I have a good feeling the anime will be something only fans will enjoy. That or people who like 'cute girls doing cute things', aka 'moe'.

I've gotten both games limited edition on release and while I can say the games are NOT the best (the gameplay of the first one kind of sucks, and the story of Mk 2 renders the first game non-canon), I always looked at the art and thought it would be great for an anime adaption, and there were many numerous parts in both games where I couldn't help laughing.


This is one series I'm gonna have high hopes for.

The game is rated M for sexual themes which it does have a fair amount or so I should say. Though nudity wise, all it had was a hot spring event like just about any VN styled JRPG these days do. Though of course, since it was a game, it obviously didn't go full nude.

I'm fairly sure there will be a level of ecchi.

I'm a tad excited only because I thought the game had a great plot, characters, and humor..but terrible battle system that turned me off. I'd be willing to watch this to experience the story again.

It's funny to see that Neptunia got bashed in every western gaming sites/reviews but very welcomed here.
Just sayin' though, as I'll probably check the few first episodes.

No offensive to gamers on MAL but I've always felt this site had a sort of gamer elitism here and would bash at something like this getting a anime. I was surprised to see how many people here looking forward to it.

Well its a video game aimed at anime fans. But for mainstream Western reviewers, they just see it as some weird sexist Japanese thing, so they hate it. Mainstream people don't really get otaku anime lol

Yeah, I just got home and re-read an article i found on it. Didn't notice the mature rating when i was reading it at school, lol. The costumes should have tipped me off, but you never know for sure.

I might watch it for the console wars anyway though. The concept still interests me.

That's the last thing people worry about in anime. and see'ing as you already have watched Nazo No Kanojo X, you'll be able to handle Neptunia, as the H-level in it is lower than Kanojo X.

Out of the hundreds of video game RPG's, did they have to choose the moe ecchi one to animate?

Edit: I reread my post. Half of things are many people's "thing" and quite a few are lot's of people's. Is that what you meant?

It's not ecchi though, and Neptunia is perfect material for an anime adaptation. Of course, I highly doubt this will be anything more than a one-time OVA to coincide with the release of the new game but if it does well enough it may stir enough interest for a full TV series in the future.

And for fans of the series this is great news because it will increase the series' popularity further. What started out as a very niche and obscure JRPG at first is now starting to becoming something fairly big with the upcoming third game. I really want to see the series sell well and improve even more in quality. The second game is a great game and more people should give it a try.

Like someone mentioned earlier, you answered your own question, (This game is many people's "thing"), There are two games and the third one is underway, and see'ing as it's pretty popular, it'd only make sense for them to animate it, of all the games Idea factory made, this one was their biggest success along with Agarest war. on another note "moe ecchi" is a selling point bro, why would you, or anyone else for that matter be surprised? especially when you already know that "it's many people's thing". lol
