Idea Factory announced on May 25 that the full 12-episode run of the Hyperdimension Neptunia TV anime will be available for free on the Frontier Works YouTube channel from May 27 through June 3. The stream covers the entire 2013 series, which follows four goddesses ruling the nations of Gamindustri after they sign a treaty to end conflict over the power source called Shares.
Two VTubers from the Aogiri High School group will host live simultaneous viewing events: Akari Ishikari on May 30 and Chiyomi Chiyoura on May 31, both at 21:00 JST. During the distribution window, the official Neptunia X account will run a giveaway for three signed anime scripts.
The free stream is timed ahead of the August 27 release of Hyperdimension Neptunia∞, the next numbered entry in the RPG series. The company is using the anime as an entry point for players unfamiliar with the franchise.
