Choujigen Game Neptune: The Animation - Hello New World

The Choujigen Game Neptune: The Animation - Hello New World volume emerged from the Hyperdimension Neptunia media franchise, a Japanese role-playing game series developed by Idea Factory and Compile Heart. Debuting in 2010, the series is known for its meta-commentary on the video game industry, anthropomorphizing game consoles as goddesses, or 'CPUs,' who rule over the world of Gamindustri. This specific volume serves as a supplemental print work designed to expand upon the narrative established in the animated adaptation, allowing fans to delve deeper into the character dynamics and lighthearted world-building that define the series.

The design and aesthetic of the volume are rooted in the collaborative efforts of the original game creators and various manga artists associated with the franchise. The visual style follows the established character designs by Tsunako, whose work is characterized by vibrant, high-energy illustrations and distinctive costumes that mirror the hardware aesthetics of the consoles they represent. Upon its release, the volume was received primarily as a collectible for established fans of the animation, offering a compact, focused experience that complements the overarching themes of friendship and industry parody found throughout the series.
