Funimation Has Set Up Its Own Console War With Hyperdimension Neptunia!

I’m not going to lie about this. Normally, when I hear the word “anthropomorphized,” I think of a group furries.  More specifically, the group of furries who dress in overly elaborate animal costumes trying to jack each other off. However, Hyperdimension Neptunia takes the word “anthropomorphized” and takes it into a completely different scenario.

The story behind Hyperdimension Neptunia based on the game where anthropomorphized consoles take the shape of females, and they fight. The game was originally put out by NIS America, and it’s many sequels: Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2, Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, and Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection.

Here is the synopsis from Funimation:

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!

And of course, there’s a cast announcement to go along with the announcement.
