Synopsis

After years of fruitless war between the four realms of Gamindustri (Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee and Leanbox) over Share energy, the source of their strength based on how much their people have faith in their goddesses, the four CPUs that rule over them have finally signed a friendship treaty. The treaty bans any attempt at claiming Share energy through military force, in hopes of bringing peace and prosperity to their worlds. Yet, a month after the treaty, Neptune, the CPU Goddess of Planeptune, spends her time goofing off and playing games rather than doing her job, leaving her land's Shares plummeting. Choujigen Game Neptune The Animation follows Neptune and her friends' attempts at raising Shares, while dealing with an external threat that could spell the end of both the Goddesses and Gamindustri itself...

For anime-only viewers, the conclusion might feel rather cliché, right? Well, that's Neptunia for you. The series is full of clichés and familiar tropes, to the point where it even breaks the fourth wall and pokes fun at them. If the ending felt a little lacking, don't worry. There is a true ending in the form of an OVA episode, so the story isn't quite over yet. I think I understand what the studio was trying to accomplish with this series. It feels like a gift for those who have played the games, while also giving newcomers a chance to discover the world of Neptunia. Hopefully, it will make anime-only viewers curious enough to check out the games.

After the last episode, you might have felt like something was missing or that the story wasn't completely resolved. This episode finally explains everything. For those who have played the game, this is likely one of the episodes they've been waiting for. It also drops hints about Neptune's console representation as well as the identity of the mastermind. If you know a bit of video game history, you'll probably enjoy this episode even more because of the references scattered throughout it 😉

The episode starts on a tense note following the events of the previous episode. This is one of those rare instances where we get to see Neptune acting unlike her usual self. I imagine the reveal in this episode will be surprising for anime-only viewers, but for those who have played the game, it isn't much of a surprise. The episode is basically a retelling of the events from the game, but with so many changes that I would probably consider it an original rendition of the story.

A rather silly beach episode that ends on an ominous note. The episode gives us the CPU forms of the four rulers in swimsuits, along with several moments where the characters break the fourth wall and throw in some amusing references. While most of the episode is lighthearted, the ending sets a much more ominous tone. For anyone familiar with the games, the identity of the real culprit is already fairly obvious, but for anime-only viewers, this ending leaves quite a bit of mystery.

This episode is packed with some surprisingly hilarious references. Since the anime doesn't directly explain it in the first episode or even in the games, Noire represents a console associated with a certain game starring a bandicoot who wears blue pants. The story itself is also a reference to a particular incident that happened to the company in 2011. As for anime-only viewers, there still isn't much information about the little girl who appeared at the end of the previous episode aside from her name. To make things even more interesting, another girl appears at the end of this episode and says something rather surprising.
