Mixed Feelings
Sega Hard Girls is a very weird thing and the fact that they made a whole anime around it is just as weird.

The story is about Sega consoles "Graduating" by going inside random Sega games and completing objectives.
From the very first minute watching this show you can tell the budget is incredibly small, the show was animated in MMD and used artwork made by KEI (The guy who drew Hatsune Miku and most of her official art). Because of that every characters kinda look like Hatsune Miku in a weird way.

The characters themselves barely have a personality, Mega Drive is the smart one and I genuinely cannot differentiate the other 2 character's personalities.

The music and sound effects themselves are almost entirely from Sega games, which isn't an issue since they have phenomenal soundtracks, but because of that the show itself kinda lacked its own identity. It kinda just feel like you're watching a sponsored Youtube animation half the time where they just have a few Sega models in an empty map, but thankfully the jokes are funny and the fan service is really good.

Also since the show is entirely animated in MMD, almost every games you will see are 3D ones with only a few scenes being edits of 2D gameplay footage of older games like Sonic, which btw, they have Sonic in the show, but they didn't have his voice actor, so you have modern Sonic in the game, but he's acting like classic Sonic which caught me off guard and felt very awkward.

I genuinely don't know if I would recommend this anime to anyone, it has really good episodes such as the Space Channel 5 and the Virtua Fighter episodes, but they also have games like Border Break which was never localized outside of Asia and some Mobile game I've never heard of which they seem to have put a lot of effort in. And then there's just a lot of really boring episodes where the girls just talking about their future as a set-up for the next big episode.

Watch it if you're interested, but don't feel pressured to finish it, its not that good.
