series synopsis:
Based on the hit video game series about modern game consoles– anthropomorphized as cute girls!
Don’t miss this epic adventure based on a video game about video games that Fandom Post calls “the most perfect adaptation of game to anime ever created!”
Welcome to Gamindustri, a fantastical world where all your favorite video game consoles come to life! Neptune and her fellow Goddesses rule the four kingdoms of Lastation, Leanbox, Lowee, and Planeptune – but their royal duties often take a backseat to their obsession with gaming. When their button-mashing shenanigans are interrupted by rampaging monsters, hacker attacks, and killer eggplants, the goddesses must transform into stronger, sexier versions of themselves and fight for their right to game! The bosses get tougher as the game goes on, and the girls will have to work together in order to defeat a bewitching goddess of piracy, an anonymous master hacker, and an evil CPU hell-bent on destroying everything in her path – using any cheat code necessary!

That’s really impressive! Now to wait and see if they did the same thing for Danganronpa and BlazBlue.
YEAH FINALLY!!!!! SO STOKED
IT”S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet,hope Danganronpa gets Dub Next.
I really hope they get all the voice actors for Danganronpa and Blazblue back. At least the voice of Monokuma can’t change, it’s gotta be the original guy.
Awesome! You got most of the game cast.
I hope that pic is the cover art or something not ridiculously fanservice-y. Something like that or similar to Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1’s Case. Was simple, looked fun and not fan service 🙂
Awesome! Very excited to pick this one up. So glad you got most of the game’s cast to dub it.
YES YES YES, now if Sentai could do the same with Fate/ kaleid liner Prisma Illya too.
Well I’m excited for this and just after seeing this with BlazBlue Alter Memory in a picture on Facebook I’ve a feeling that it’s not going to be long before it gets an announcement.
LMFAO that’s the OLD PS3 version!
I only buy VITA games funimation guy with the spikey hair, bro.
but that’s Ok, I will take what I can get.
You’ve already have my pre-order!… Will you have the same box set’s that the Japanese version had? Either way.. you still have my pre-order.
so I’m at the pre order area and its not show up
Hi FUNimation, why didn’t you get Kate Higgins to reprise her role as IF? I don’t mind that you changed her voice, but I’m so used to Kate Higgins voicing her. I’m supprised that you guys didn’t change the whole cast. I’m really happy that you guys kept the voice for Compa and a lot of the voices from the game, but I still don’t understand why you didn’t Kate Higgins to voice IF again.
HALLELUJAH!
I will buy from the Funimation store only if it comes with merchandise I can’t buy anywhere else.
Changes I found in the main cast
CHARACTER – ACTOR Anime – ACTOR Game
ROM – Carrie Keranen – Erika Lenhart
IF – Megan Shipman – Kate Higgins
PEASHY – Tia Ballard – Sandy Fox
Does Funimation have Merchandise rights for this anime?
Keranen was always Rom, actually.
Glad they got most of the same cast! Neptunia’s voice in the games fits perfectly and most of the others are very good as well. I don’t know the actors’ names though so who actually changed?
IF is Megan Shipman instead of Kate Higgins
Peashy is Tia Ballard instead of Sandy Fox
Rei is Morgan Garrett instead of Julie Taylor
5pb is Caitlin Glass instead of Julie Taylor
Warechu is Sara Ragsdale instead of GK Bowes
Trick is Josh Grelle instead of Derek Prince
Underling is Morgan Berry instead of whoever her other VA was
Thanks for the information!
OMG! I’m playing this game on PS3 and then I read this – FUNi’s concern and determination to reach out the old English cast just proves that they are the best ever.
I can’t wait to see what you guys do with Danganronpa and selector Infected/Spread WIXOSS!
Oh, happy days … happy days! It’s about time. 🙂
Its about time that the cast has been announced, and the release date posted. I was wondering what the delay was?
Hell yeah, I just got into this series. Luii Whiteheart is my fav in the games. Anyway, I can’t wait for this. I hope Blazblue gets the same features.
Sweet. I really appreciate consistency in casting whenever possible. As much as I enjoy the work that comes out of Funimation, there are plenty in LA that aren’t exactly slouches.
I don’t really care that they got the original English cast to voice this, they did a terrible job capturing the personality of the Neptunia characters. Most of them sounded monotone and unenthusiastic. The only ones who did a decent job were Neptune’s, Compa’s, and the original IF’s actors. It’s not a big deal since the Japanese voice actors are awesome in this. One thing is for sure, I will be watching this with Japanese audio, English subtitles. Forget the dub for me, no point.
This is getting a dub. I never would have expected that to happen.
This is great news and you will have my pre-order, would love a cool Boxset for this release! ^_^
So where might someone find where to preorder?
I’ve been wanting this for a long time, and the long wait is finally over. I will definitely pick this up, I love the english voice actors from the games.
I hope the box art is neat and it probably can’t compete against the japanese ones, unless Funimation plans to use the same version that the japanese have for the blurays/dvds of Hyperdimension Neptunia box sets.
I don’t know if they will do Episode 13, the OVA which is the true final episode of the anime series but they likely will.
In accordance with the prophecy.
awww I really wanted bryn apprill to voice neptune…
I want to watch the English Dub, but I don’t want to spend money on the All-Access Pass! I’m at a dilemma here!
