The cast of Neptunia is great, and the voice-acting (both ENG & JPN) is very well-done.

Graphics are clean and interestingly well-rendered (even the DLC) No expense was spared to match the anime.

I really wanted to like this game - the range of character customization options is insane, the character designs are cute and full of life, the battle system is fun - but the story and the world are unbelievably boring.
