High Score Girl
1991 and 6th grader Yaguchi Haruo only has video games to live for. He's not popular in school and he's neither handsome, funny, nice nor even friendly. The only thing he has going for him is that he is good at video games. One day at the local arcade, he plays Oono Akira, a fellow classmate but who's popular, smart, pretty and a rich girl that absolutely destroys him at Street Fighter II. Not only does he lose to her 30 times in a row, he can't beat her at any game. Haruo can't seem to shake Akira off as she follows him from arcade to arcade everyday after school and beats him every time. As weird as it sounds, the odd pair begins a strange bond and friendship.

Michael Eh?
Twisted look at an era of arcades and friendly rivalary. It might be interesting if at the end these two end up a couple. Well worth the watch... highly recommended.

This was hilarious. I was expecting a school comedy/drama, but this was very different from what I expected. In a world where every show is a rehash of a previous show with a few minor twists, it was nice to see something that was different. Of course, some of the show was rehashing previous ground, but at the same time, it was one of the fresher shows I have seen in a while.

Kind of interesting; very different; with a cute, violent and silent girl. If I thought there was going to be any kind of story at all, I might even want to watch more of it.
