Hyperdimension Neptunia
FUNimation has made a pickup from a series that they previously streamed with the home video rights now acquired for Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation. The series ran in the summer of 2013 for twelve episodes with an OVA that was released this past March as the thirteenth episode. FUNimation previously streamed the series that was produced by David Production and ties in with the videogames of the same name, some of which NIS America is releasing. The series was directed by Masahiro Mukai based on scripts by Shogo Yasukawa and character designs by Hitomi Takechi.
FUNimation is also working a contest angle with NIS America.
Plot concept: In the world of Gamindustri, four competing CPU goddesses rule the lands of Lastation, Leanbox, Lowee, and Planeptune. When dark forces threaten their power, they’ll have to learn to work together if they want to defeat evil. Based on the hit RPG series, it’s the video game console wars as you’ve never seen them before: fought by gorgeous girls!
