Choujigen Game Neptune, The Animation (Hyperdimension Neptunia) Review

Overall Rating 7.3 out of 10 - Good show with likable characters.

I recommend watching.

This is rather simple but likable waifu show. 

It double interesting for a video games fan as waifus here represent different gaming consoles, including even something like Atari or PC Graph Engine. However main heroines represent well known Nintendo, Sony Play Station, Microsoft XBox and fictional Sega Neptune.

Show is mostly episodic, but it has a somewhat overreaching plot that gets developed in the second half. Episodes are somewhat mixed bag, some better than the others.

For the most important part: how well these waifus fare in femininity department. To that I can say, they are different shades of likable: you can find one to your personal preferences. You can clearly see that creators did not try to troll you with choices, like in some Renai Flops, but rather carefully crafted girls, men can actually like. 

Four main heroines are quiet dandere Blanc, big titty mommy Vert, serious work-a-holic Noir and genki Neptune herself. 

My personal favorites are gentle fangirl NepGear and gentle airhead Compa. 

There are also action orientated Iffu, sister complex Uni, childish Rom and Ram, normally docile, but able to transform into a sadist, Plutia and dark villain Arfoire. Finally, I will mention a spoiled kid Peashy, who later transform into Yellow Heart, big titty, dumb blonde. And that is not all of them.

The show has a mixture of action and fan-service episodes. Usual things such as beach and swimsuits are there. Main heroines and their smaller sisters can transform into Goddess/Battle mode, that changes their looks and sometimes personality.

Story is not as well thought out as in Girls und Panzer for example, but still interesting enough to keep you engaged, especially in the later episodes. They sometimes even make clever jokes about their own traits.

Girls themselves are as good as in Girls und Panzer, Bofuri or Gochiusa though. They do not have cringy types, such as Fu, Faye Valentine, Haruno Sakura, Tohsaka Rin, Asuna or Asuka, there are only quality girls here.

Overall, it is nice and likable show, mostly orientated on male audience. However, I can recommend watching it for both genders. Maybe IRL girls can learn-to-girl from these heroines.
