Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation:

WARNING: Mild Spoilers

What do you get when you blend Kill La Kill, Kantai Collection, and Sailor Moon together? This! Hyperdimension Neptunia is already a very popular franchise and it's anime is...pretty good, actually. The show is about a war between 4 different goddesses from 4 different countries; Planeptune, Leanbox, Lowee, and Lastation, in Gamindustri (yes, that's a pun). The characters sign a peace treaty though, and put their ways behind them to become friends. The animation is decent at best. For a David Productions animated series, it sure does look like it was made by SHAFT instead. The fights are well choreographed and the character animation and fight animation did get better slowly over the series, but this is definitely the weakest David Productions has gone with any of their series. (Compared to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or Fire Force, it makes the animation on it look like a PowerPoint Slideshow. Lmao). It's like Kill La Kill, they save the huge budget stuff for the transformations and battles than the character animation (despite that, the character animation is actually pretty damn good by itself). The writing is pretty slow at the start at the least, as they are trying to find a specific plot point to start on. Which took them about 6 episodes (don't worry, those past episodes are also good as well and entertaining). For the most part it's mostly just them fooling around, Until Peashy and Plutia enter the scene. The characters are very loveable and fun, my personal favorite character is (even though it's pretty cliché) Neptune/Purple Heart, she seems like a very fun person to hang out with. But all of them are excellent and unique, I like them.
The 1st intro was just edited in scenes from the series itself (with the exception of the near end of it.) and was a pretty meh intro. Luckily, the second one fixes this, adds original scenes, and overall fits the tone of the anime better.
There are specific outros depending on the episodes (one for 2 parters, and the other for the usual episodes) and both are pretty good. There's also one exclusive for episode 10, which was pretty heartfelt. The fanservice is pretty mild, but sometimes it can get pretty Kill La Kill-sy. The furthest they've ever gone was on episode 8, and it's not that far compared to fanservice heavy shows like Konosuba or KLK either. I'd still say it has a lot though. Also there are tons of references to real video games, jabs at common tropes in anime, and 4th wall breaks (Neptunia is well known for doing stuff like this). Overall a very fun experience, but with a pretty slow start. But if you like Nep, then it's worth it!
