Current Events > High Score Girl anime is fucking amazing

(+) Yeah! (+)

you get nostalgiad pretty fucking hard every single episode but they also manage to sell a really compelling love triangle and the interactiosn with both girls are super cute in their own weird nerdy way.

WATCH THAT SHIT CE.

I'm thinking about it. I only read far enough to reach the 2nd volume I think.
---

Nostalgia?

yes, the show is set in the 90s and the main character goes to arcade centers and plays old as fuck shit, super nostalgic.
---

I watched the first two episodes and thought it was "meh kinda fun", so I put it on hold but didn't necessarily drop it. If it's gotten better, I might pick it up again later.
---

episode 3 is where you know if you will like the rest of it or not, you can decide after that.

Good to know.

Since it's licensed by Netflix, it's pretty much guaranteed to be getting an English dub at some point. When that comes out, I'll start it again and give it another chance.

It's about a boy playing arcade games with a silent rich girl while growing up.

It's both about the history of the arcade scene growing up in Japan (it was pretty similar in Korea from experience), and about 3 kids in a love triangle. Except they actually talk their problems out more than other similar romcoms and takes their feelings seriously, despite one of the characters being mute. Lots of great characters and a lot of humorous situations

AND LOTS OF NOSTALGIA

but yeah, the romance is top notch, the ending of the latest episode was fucking heart warming <3

Thanks. Silent as in mute?

yes, one of the girls has not talked yet for some reason, it was annoying but I got used to it. the other one talks plenty and is also really good.
---

There is a hinted reason, but all the characters are aware that she doesn't talk but just doesn't call attention to it. She does talk, but only to her sister. Otherwise, all of the people around her can more or less tell what she wants to say through her actions and grunts lol

Lul it's not a big reveal. They just casually say that's actually what's happening. I think it was to reassure readers that it's not like they're the only ones who can't hear her talk

I mean, the identities of the armored giant and the titanic giant were also revealed in a casual conversation but it was still a big reveal in shingeki.

amazing, but it was a season finale, the stpry goes on in the manga and from what I could read at the end in japanese, 3 extra episodes will air in march 2019.
