I'd just like to say that I have a weird anime rating I use, and weird tastes in anime, so I know I'm going to get like 5 million dislikes. And excuse this long post/rant, I need to get it out of my system. =__="
Choujigen Game Neptune, the only anime that has really made me disgusted and pissed off (Since the 2nd half of Sword Art Online). I had to even drop this anime, because I seriously could not handle it.
I don't even mind getting mindf*cked by something like RahXephon or Evangelion (Which totally don't make sense by the way).
There are so many gripes I have with this anime, it's not even funny. Seriously.
I've been hearing positive reviews about the game, sayings it's great and funny, however this 'anime' adaption, is just really pathetic.
Am I watching some sort of super censored hentai? Because what happens a lot, is that the characters are so pathetically weak, that they make 'iiyaah' cries like every 5 bloody second. Why?
It tries hard to be a comedy, but I couldn't even smile at any of it, and I was watching this anime with moderately high expectations, was expecting an anime that was comedic, fun to watch, and something that wouldn't annoy the 'shaizen' out of you.
Also the characters, why the hell does so much damn drama need to be in an anime about these 'happy go round' looking girls? And Neptune? Oh Christ, she is one of the most annoying characters I've ever seen, it's like,
"How on the planet Namek, did you become a Goddess?"
Isn't this an anime about 4 'Goddesses' trying to maintain the treaty for peace? I understand that there has to be some form of enemy for plot, but come on! They didn't have to do the anime the way it is.
Like that one scene where they are trapped in some form of 'Anti-Magic' pyramid, was it really (REALLY REALLY) necessary to pose them in some what of a sexual position?
I will make a comment on the art however, it is pretty to watch, vibrant, many nice looking colours, and yet, with all this visual appeal, it was so disappointing. I really do like the art, I really do, and yet even with a pretty exterior, it cannot hide how hideous it really is.
Let's do a Character summary shall we?
Neptune - The annoying lazy one, can make you go insane. Could of been portrayed better, in my opinion. Nuff said.
Blanc - Her character to be both 'quite' then 'loud' was really poorly executed, and I'm thinking it was her character personality design flaw, or just maybe her voice actor.
Vert - She was some what okay, was mildly surprising she liked Online Games. She's an alright character.
Noire - In all honesty, Noire was the character I didn't mind watching the most, surprisingly. She did not seem annoying, nor did she make me want to throw a rice ball at a fish.
Forget the little sisters and the 'Villain'.
In all of this, seriously, don't watch this, it's not all 'cutesy' as it seems, there is a lot of unnecessary drama, and a lot of 'iyaa' type screaming.
And I know I am bashing this anime, a lot. I don't care.
I'd give the game a go, just to see if this is the anime the game needs, but being a Japanese Title on PlayStation 3 (and with pretty much 100% expectancy to not come to the English speaking audience), I would have absolutely no clue on what is happening.
Sorry again about the rant. (-__-)
