<p>While i haven't seen the anime yet i am confident to say that the anime isn't an adaptation of any if the game's plot rather it makes references to the games </p>

<blockquote class="spoiler">
  <p> like the with the 2 Noire's one is the alternate one from the Ultradimension</p>
</blockquote>

<p>as for the order of the games not all of them relate to one another as most are in different dimensions however Mk.II/Re;Birth 2 are Victory/Re;Birth 3 are linked together as the <a href="http://neptunia.wikia.com/wiki/Hyperdimension_Neptunia_Victory#Story" rel="nofollow">Wikia Says</a></p>

<blockquote class="spoiler">
  <p> A few years have passed since the Deity of Sin's destruction.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>as for the different Dimensions</p>

<h3>1st Hyperdimension - <em>Hyperdimension Neptunia/Re;Birth</em></h3>

<blockquote class="spoiler">
  <p> in this Arfoire was a single goddess before she and Histoire made Neptune, Noire, Vert and Blanc. also Histoire has near unlimited power because of her role as a Tome<br><br> also in the true ending of the original PS3 game (have yet to confirm with Re;Birth) the CPUs give up their divinity to eradicate all of the monsters across the world and became regular humans</p>
</blockquote>

<p>In Re;Birth when characters like MAGES., Tekken and Falcom talk about being from another world i suspect this is the Ultradimension/2nd Hyperdimension as i first learned of these characters from the announcements of other human characters in Victory before it's release</p>

<h3>2nd Hyperdimension - <em>Hyperdimension Mk. II/Re;Birth 2: Sisters' Generation</em>, <em>Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory/Re;Birth 3: V Generation</em>, <em>Megamdimenstion Neptunia VII</em></h3>

<blockquote class="spoiler">
  <p> Histoire isn't as powerful as he is in the first instead being one of 4 Oracles. in Mk.II IF seemed to have a crush for Nepgear rather than Vert. in the True Route the party goes to where one of the former Goddesses of Planeptune are buried who they speak to about DOS.Arfoire.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Also aside from the first game/Re;Birth i believe all games which refer to the Hyperdimension are set here as according to the Wikia page of the <a href="http://neptunia.wikia.com/wiki/Hyper_Dimension" rel="nofollow">Hyperdimenstion</a></p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The Hyper Dimension is a dimension of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series and appears in every title of the main series since Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>also while i haven't found where VII links with with Mk. II/Re;Birth 2 and V/Re;Birth 3 it's probably safe to assume that VII would get set after V/Re;Birth 3 as VII isn't pronounced as 7 (roman-numerals for VII) but as V2, short for Victory 2</p>

<hr>

<p>As for what Compa says in the Lily Rank Event it would be true on 2 levels as </p>

<ol>
<li>the 2nd Hyperdimension for Re;Birth 2 is different from the 1st one in Re;Birth thus it would have a different history</li>
<li>in the Ultradimension IF and Compa appear in this too but as babies (so one can consider the Ultradimension as an alternate past to the 2nd Hyperdimension)</li>
</ol>

<hr>

<p>As for Recommended Play/Watch Order:</p>

<ol>
<li><p><em>Hyperdimension Neptunia (PS3)/Re;Birth 1</em> - this introduces you to the main reoccurring characters such as the CPUs, Compa and IF and Arfoire</p></li>
<li><p>Given that <em>Mk. II/Re;Birth 2</em>, <em>V/Re;Birth 3</em> and <em>VII</em> are initially linked i would play them in that order after <em>Re;Birth</em></p></li>
<li><p><em>Producing Perfection</em>, <em>Action Unleashed</em> and <em>Goddess Black Heart</em> you can probably play at any time after <em>Mk. II/Re;Birth 2</em> because to my knowledge there are no characters from <em>V/Re;Birth 3</em> in there</p></li>
<li><p><em>Blanc + Neptune</em> i would play after <em>V/Re;Birth 3</em> because Plutia and Peashy appear in the <a href="http://neptunia.wikia.com/wiki/MegaTagmension_Blanc_%2B_Neptune_VS_Zombies#Characters" rel="nofollow">List of characters</a> and more than likely they will be like that from the Ultradimension</p></li>
<li><p>i would watch the anime after <em>V/Re;Birth 3</em> for the same reason as above because of Plutia and Peashy who apparently appear in the anime (i have yet to watch it)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>NOTE: all of this does not take into account DLC characters as Re;Birth 1 features Plutia and Peashy but they are not involved with the plot (rather it might be confusing as to why Plutia may seem clam and kind of a ditz but Iris Heart is a Dominatrix)</p>

<p>NOTE 2: This does not take into account any of the Manga because i am unfamiliar with them at this point in time</p>

I didn't care about the manga. xD I can't even find it at Hastings. Hahaha. And as for DLC, I already knew that. I actually HAVE the Plutia, Peashy, and Histoire DLC for Re;Birth1, because I'm on my ninth replay, all my characters are level one hundred, and I was bored as crap. But, thanks for the help.
