Akira Ono, Hi-Score Girl (Patreon)

Yeah, I just binged an anime on Netflix. Hi-Score Girl is the highly plausible story of a boy who becomes the object of affection of two girls by obsessively playing fighting games. It hits all the right nostalgia bones, since I remember the 90s arcade and home console scene well. I wasn’t a competitive player by any means. I was more into co-op, so Final Fight being featured heavily in the story made me happy. The season ends on a cliffhanger, but I hope it doesn’t last so long as to outstay its welcome. Info dump dialogue and being oblivious to crushes works in small doses.
