question
hyperdimension-neptunia
What was the terrible artwork on the flyer in episode 1?


The character who hands the flyer to them is [Rei
Ryghts](http://hyperdimensionneptunia.wikia.com/wiki/Rei_Ryghts) who is voiced
by seiyuu [Kobayashi Yuu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%AB_Kobayashi).
Apart from being a well-known voice actor, Kobayashi is also known for her
strange and disturbing art style, exclusively using black and red and with
only a very coarse resemblance of anything real. This has been covered by many
news sources even in English, including [Kotaku](http://kotaku.com/tag/yu-
kobayashi) five times (so far),
[Crunchyroll](http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/04/08-1/voice-
actress-yu-kobayashi-sketched-alternative-cover-for-sex-pot-revenge-magazine)
(and [again here](http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/05/29/attack-on-
titan-voice-actress-yuu-kobayashi-shares-latest-drawing-masterpiece)), and
dozens of blogs and lesser known sites. This image is just another example of
such drawings, included as a comedic reference which many viewers would catch
(at least in Japan).

As for any in-universe significance, this does not seem to be important _in
the anime_. A similar event occurs in the third Neptunia game, but as the
anime is following an original story line loosely based on the games. The
scenes after the credits in this show are humorous bloopers or extra scenes
related to that episode but not to the overall story. In both episodes 2 and 3
(the next one with IF and Compa) neither the flyer nor Rei makes any
appearance, so it's pretty safe to conclude that this won't be important for
the overall plot.
