Hey all! :)

Just thought I'd pop in for the first time in a while to let you know about a new anime that premiered in Japan this past week called Hi-Score Girl. The anime is about a kid named Haruo Yaguchi who is obsessed with arcade and console games but happens to develop a relationship with a mute girl named Akira Ono who happens to share his obsession.

It's a cute series for those of you who happened to watch it and the recent episode covered Haruo's obsession with the PC-Engine. :D

Games featured were The Kung Fu/China Warrior, R-Type, Bonk's Adventure/PC Genjin, Altered Beast, Darius Plus, and Splatterhouse!

The episode also talked about the affordability of Hu-Card games in Japan at the time as well as the sheer luxury of owning a PC-Engine GT! LOL! :lol:

Unfortunately, I won't put up the episode as I don't know whether it is permitted under PCENGINEFX's terms but here is a blog site that has screen grabs from the episode and more info:

That's a cool find, sounds like much better pro-PC Engine propaganda than good ole Johnny Turbo and "his battle against FEKA," heh.

Oh, and you can link the episode if you want, the world won't end over it.

Do you want the torrent link? :-s

nice! I'll watch this.

Oh, it's a torrent from "the bay" ? Never mind, probably not a good idea to toss those around. Keep it shared privately in PM if someone wants it.

Yeah, I don't want this site to go down the crapper for potential illegal transfers. =;

If you do manage to watch it, however, it'll satisfy your nostalgia in a clever way. :) Rensuke Oshikiri, the original author of the manga, was an avid gamer back in his day and his character of Haruo Yaguchi, is in some aspects, a reflection of what he personally experienced as a gamer.
