High Score Girl

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

Good story, strong characters and a good mix of humor and melancholy 👍

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.

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 !

Loved this anime! It was funny, it was cute and it brought me back to past! I got hyped as they started playing street fighter 2 in the start of the anime and haven't stopped watching since. The pace is really nice and there is a good mixture of humourous moments and real human feelings. It's a short series so it's easy even if this is not your genre. I really recommend this anime!
