most amazing romantic/gaming combination
The boy is almost as same age as me.
although i dont have the same experience(especially the girl exp), but I have some much resonance of the episode.
love it
UGLY BOOHOO CRIED
I went to the trouble of making an account to say this is one of the funniest/saddest/frustrating anime's iv ever seen!!! The second season came out today and iv already finished it!!! I was turned off the idea at first cause sooo many Lolis but I don't even care this show is so freaking good!! It may have a slightly slow start but seriously it is worth every minute!! Also seeing as games had a big part of my life the nostalgia was a perfect 10!! I prefer horror/grown up based anime but this is by far the exception. Both seasons will make you scream/cry/laugh simultaneously!!!!! Do yourself a favor. Watch it. NOW!! Stop reading reviews and just go watch it! Yes I'm talking to YOU!!!
Beautifully written and animated
Good story, strong characters and a good mix of humor and melancholy 👍
Came in with little expectation, came out hungry for more
This is the first anime that made me itch to know the ending of the story, so much that I couldn't contain myself and started reading the mangas and even going through raw non translated chapters to complete the story with Google Translate.
I never expected to get so hooked into a rom-com retro gaming story. I'm born in 1990 so I missed the arcade boom by a few years. Nevertheless, it still brought me joy and as a gamer who played later releases of Capcom and Sony.
I don't want to spoil the story but I finished the 12 eps on Netflix on one go, I just couldn't stop. The episodes are short and I know the CG put a lot of people down, but please, please, watch it until the end because it is so short anyway !
This is truly underrated and I don't say this lightly.

Incredible anime
I'd say that's the best anime I've seen and in the list of them I'm comparing this , also stands "Deathnote". Hi-score Girl is a series that every generation after the Y one (80's +) can relate to and bring back sweet childhood memories. It's really well written and masterfully directed. Won't dissapoint any modern or even "retired" arcade gamer.
Looking forward for the even more romantic sequel , considering from the last episode. Won't say more . Give it a try now !

- TriviaIn 2014, the Square Enix (FF, Dragon Quest, Kingdom of hearts) offices were searches by the Osaka Police. This was due to an infringement of copyright of the SNK company (responsible for games such as King of fighters, Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown). Since August 2015, they reached an agreement out of court and the manga/anime can now use their IP.
