I can see where one can find the game loading bit funny, but they drug it out so long, it killed the momentum of the moment. Also disappointed that they didn't show the final score between Hidaka and Oono (manga showed Oono tripling Hidaka's score).

Evil Gouda was awesomely done by Shizuka Itou! Sure, Oono doesn't speak, but I think they did a good job of displaying her feelings. Last scene was awesome. Can't wait for the next episode, and I hope J.C. Staff doesn't stop there!

Man, when Ono cries, I cry... All but for that bittersweet reunion, in the end. The fact that I don’t see Haruo and Ono on best couples Summer 2018 listings is borderline criminal. I love them, and I love this show!

The direction/music use is maybe a tad overdramatic but mostly was very fitting and felt very thoughful. Impressive

"From punching and kicking to ripping each other's clothes off." LOL! LET THEM FIGHT!

Oono shooting hoops!

Poor Oono having to live such a strict life...

LOADING TIMES!

If they're advertising Tekken 7 here, then there better be a character customization option to turn Lili into Oono down the line...

Lol, trained patience thanks to loading times. But...isn't playing with a pad much different than playing with a fight stick? Haruo needs a fight stick at home...

Going around town to find Oono...and she got 70 consecutive wins in Darkstalkers...Haruo goes against her and loses, but thinks nothing much of it. Oono is really feeling down and she does need Haruo as support...

So many things can happen in the next episode, but I think my rating for this anime has already been decided. Heck if it goes the White Album 2 route, I'll still give it the same rating. Just one more week...

Great episode. A pity they've skipped the Guy gum joke.
I hope they go for a 2nd season when manga ends.
They've covered 25 chapters so far (out of 49 already translated), and altough they've been covering a bit over 2 chapters/episode on average, the 26th is a good point to end this season, or they could go over 27 and end a bit more open.

No Haruo, don't waste your hard earned money on a Virtual Boy it'll suck. You'd be better off with a Playstation or wait another year for an N64.

That was great. I loved the extended ED. Seems people think 1 ep is not enough to properly adapt the next chapter or so. I'd prefer if they stuck to a normal pacing and just announced a season 2, rather than do a rushed/original ending just for the purpose of conclusion.

Feeling sad for Hidaka... she is a very nice girl, deserves happiness but... she or Oono -- or both ones -- will lose the game.

Great anime series; I will miss 'High Score Girl'.

Oh how it would be a miracle.

I mean: it can, and the reception looks good, but the manga is ending, so it will be a bit out of habit in the anime industry for a season 2 to happen.

Well, to me the whole idealistic noble kid schtick here felt a bit more like a parody, with all the arranged marriage and no friends and such talk. Plus the parents seem to be Batmanned away , or at least we will never get to know what they think of their daughter.

And not to mention that Haruo actually, not just showed some concern for her (even though his whole "realization" that he likes her came out of the blue), but he also managed to pay attention to his surroundings, instead of only to games. Well, after his schizophrenic period with the guys...

I think that final scene at the ending really resume their whole relationship perfectly: Haruo comes and pick on Oono, she got mad with him, they both keep going along like nothings has happened. I love it.

This is actually some kind of a running gag of this title, he always chooses the console that we know will later lose.

Out of all the consoles Haruo has gotten the Virtual Boy will be the biggest flop yet, wonder how his reaction to that is gonna be especially considering he even worked a part time job for it.

Also I'm guessing if this trend continues to the present day Haruo's future consoles will be:

- The Sega Dreamcast (not a bad system actually and even has some good games but it will eventually flop and be Sega's last console)
- The PS Vita (also not a bad system but for quite a few years lacked both first party and third party support and by the time it did get some it was a little too late)
- The Wii U (same situation with the Vita)
- And finally the Xbox One? (still ongoing so can't really say but in comparison to the PS4 and the Switch it's definitely not doing as well and is really lacking in first party support)

They advertised Tekken 7 wow! from oldest Tekken which have bad pixelated graphics, to the most graphically detailed game that even puts GTX 1080Ti to the test!
anywayz, Haruo finally found Oono!
We knew that the curfew of Oono would be cut to 4pm, and that means rebellion and running away from home! you go girl! but you go MC Haruo and get your girl!
I feel sad for Hidaka. Good thing the two didn't fight at the arcade...but lol, every time Hdaka mentions Haruo, it destabilises Oono!
5/5.
one more episode left! i hope the conclusion would be satisfying...

Anyone knows how much the rating jumped after that episode? It feels a bit like 0.5 on the overall ratings, but I honestly didn't check in a long time (at which point it was like 7.2 or so even though I remember a longer time where it was lingering below 7 for quite some time)...

Long loading time... We all know that pain. At least at that time games didn't required constant internet connection just to run it.

And Gouda is a horrible person. No wonder Oono run away.

The last bit was super cute! One of the best directed anime of 2018 I have to say! This is not going to get anything less than a 9 from me!

I think I finally want to see Oono ending up with Haruo. They are just so meant for each other it would be criminal if they didn't end up together!

This "Tutor" Pisses me off SO MUCH. like, I really felt bad for poor Onoo. How stupid is that b****??!! I can kinda understand the fear of seedy arcades, but to have curfew, no money, and not even a home console is bloody insane no matter how you look at it. Good on Onoo and Haruo for what they did.

I also felt bad for Hidaka. Poor girl has been trying really hard despite knowing that the case is hopeless :'(

Oh, and when i saw the infamous Neo Geo CD I was hoping for a "long load times" joke lol. I was not disappointed XD. Harou should have found someone with a Neo Geo AES to borrow instead XD.

Not really? I mean, before that he had a Famicom, a PC-Engine, a Super Famicom, and a Saturn. all were HUGELY successful in Japan. The PC-engine and the Saturn failed in the west, but in Japan they were hugely successful. If that was the case we would have seen him have the Atari 2800, the Sega Mark 3, and the Mega Drive with its add-ons, as those were the consoles that actually hugely failed in Japan (although the Mega drive probably still outsold the Virtual Boy in Japan lol).

Ah this series is so hard I wanna support both Koharu and Akira. Was also sad seeing Koharu realise that if Haruo surpasses her then that means the next target will be Akira and she'll be forgotten again

But Akira sure is cute

Wonder how next episode will go
