That website lists a lot of stuff for Asami Imai and fails to list iDOLM@STER (Chihaya)? FAIL!

Anyway was I the only one thinking that they should have known that a place called Zune Island could only bring about misfortune?

Also: Servisu Servisu!

Oh yes! Those look great! Really would love to buy it but... gotta save money for more games... I still need to get my hands on Neptunia V since I missed it when the limited edition came out. Also trying to save just in case NISA gets a license for Atelier Escha & Logy as well as any other Tales of and Falcom games. SO MUCH MONEY!!! Oh yeah, gotta get the recent Neptunia artbook too... *sigh

Neppu? What does that mean? Anyway, I hope we also get to see Falcom and Cave as well. We did see 5pb so I can somewhat be sure we will see Cave but Falcom? Hmm... if we do see Gust, then Falcom is likely as well.

From what I see so far, Neptunia the animation is doing pretty well and I remember seeing a recent poll somewhere in the past week that the characters Noire, Neptune, and Nepgear are currently leading the most popular characters of the season. It's just the really vocal minority that makes it look worse than it really is. Besides, we will have a better idea when sales are out. According to a couple anime sales estimator (although I know this is more of an estimate of the sales, they generally got it pretty close to what the actual sales), all the volumes so far with the current pre-orders are expected to sell around 5,000 volumes. That's actually not too bad as of now. It could go up or go down but looking positive.

Here is the recent poll of Japanese fans of the the best anime heroines from Summer 2013 that Enternal was referring to:

2013年夏アニメのメインヒロイン総選挙 (Summer 2013 Anime Main Heroine General Election)

This poll has been discussed at Crunchyroll, Poll: Top 25 Girls of Summer, and at Sankaku Complex, [NSFW] Top 25 Anime Heroines of Summer 2013.

Out of 7220 total votes cast:

1. Neptune/Purple Heart received 725 votes, placing her No. 1.

2. Noire/Black Heart received 582 votes, placing her No. 2.

3. Nepgear received 449 votes, placing her No. 3.

Chou Jigen Game Neptune The Animation (Hyperdimension Neptunia The Animation) enjoyed a Olympic style medal sweep, taking the gold, silver, and bronze medals in this Japanese Best Anime Heroines of Summer 2013 poll.

Which means it's likely headed to at least a modest commercial success.

If she is having fun, who knows when will a certain paper doll comes in?

Still no preview as always...

I thought Noire is also the Arch-tsundere, and a not so subtle reference to Azusa from K-on?

Personally, I wonder whether Neptunia would go beyond consoles, and comment on the "war" for market share between various platforms - PC vs Console vs Handheld vs Mobile Market. So far, it's touched the Console and Handheld market, but not the Mobile Market.

A next gen Neptunia with the Ouya would probably have the Ouya being the weak little sister to the far more ferociously powerful Android, arch-rivals with IOS, both of whom bullies the Windows Phone.

[SaintessHeart]

There are indications that Noire has plenty of.......otaku-related references in the game.

Spoiler for spoilers:

She loves cats and is a closet otaku, and a cosplayer too.

And yes, with her twintails and black hair, she has a Azusa references.

Of course, Blanc has her own reference to Amuro Ray.

[Chiaki_chan]

the game create after manga K-ON? as to say that Noir is a reference to Azusa....
