* Based on a manga written and illustrated by Oshikiri Rensuke, serialised in Gekkan Big Gangan.
1991. The year of the Gulf War. The year Mount Unzen erupted. The year the Ten-Day War in Slovenia broke out. The year the world wavered.
Oono Akira, a well-off female classmate, who proves to him that she is not only more popular, intelligent, attractive, and lucky than he is, but also... better than him at playing video games!
Haruo's small world wavers...
Source: Batoto
Note: Due to a then-ongoing legal dispute concerning Square Enix voluntarily recalled its volumes from the stores, also suspending serialization, further publication and digital sales of volumes, and development of the anime adaptation. The two companies eventually settled out of court and Square Enix resumed the previously halted activities.

Story wise the series are different but what they have in common is the representation of the geek nostalgia for old video games, one for the arcade and console games and the other for the old computer visual novel games.

Gamers! is another anime about a loner who ends up befriending a small group of gamers, and even features some footage of games (though it also features some fictional, non-existing games). Similarly, a love triangle (kind of) forms between some of the main characters.
Gamers! isn't as good as High Score Girl and while it certainly lacks the historical, cultural, and nostalgic values that High Score Girl has, it still offers some social commentary and insight as to why some gamers are who they are.
I mean, I'm a gamer first and foremost so I am semi-actively on the hunt for these types of shows.

I didn't love the first two episodes due to the silent character but this is expanded with the introduction of additonal characters and then the show begins to really shine. A great show with omages to 90s video games with a little bit of romance thrown in.

Even though it feels weird watching a 30 year old story in modern anime style, it doesn't feel repulsive. Characters feel real because they probably are to some extent. MC isn't a wimp, which is pretty common in this genre. There are some really high quality jokes every now and then. I don't know how they solved the copyright issues but seeing/ing all those great characters from your favorite childhood games and how they used them at some key moments feels really touchy. Attention to details when it comes to games are so incredible it feels like a documentary of video game history sometimes. If you are from the arcade generation it's really hard to not like this show.

Though this is a modern anime, the story is from the 80's when arcade games were popular (era even before Sony PlayStations). All through the show the hero just keeps talking and talking about these games that we have never heard of and this I guess is the main reason this show is not that popular.
But once I got over that, it is a very sweet and innocent love story. Its a love triangle with 2 girls and a boy and its done very well.
The animation too was different and interesting. Its modern with a lot of touches that makes the characters unique while also adding in a hand drawn effect without being artsy or random. The atmosphere is great.
Even though I am not a gamer I liked it very much. Highly recommended.

A hidden gem, HIGHLY recommended (and underrated)!
Even if you didn't grow up in the 80's/90's like i did you will enjoy this series. Great characters, story, romance, artwork and games :)

I thought that I'll watch this because it sounded fun. But I was suprised, because I got totally hooked from start to finish and couldn't wait what was going to happen next.
I think that the character development was great and I loved to watch relationships slowly form between the main characters. It was really fun, but also touching at times. The animation was awesome and game history was really interesting.
If you love games and romance, this is a must see! I have high expectations of the 2nd season.

It is a must see if you grow up in 70's or 80's and like video game back then. A lot of good old memory and a romance story that could only happen in anime. I know and played every single game that it talks about, what a geek. LOL

A really good show not only for people who grew up in the nineties and will revel in video game nostalgia. High Score Girl is also a touching story about a bunch of kids growing up, becoming friends over their ion and gradually starting to develop feelings for each other. The series is not overly complex, witty or detailed. Its charm comes from the characters, their interaction and the portrayal of their feelings.
People should not be concerned about the 3D animation that in this series is not off-putting at all. Furthermore direction and storytelling are solid, and at times the show is quite funny. But most of its strength comes from the relatable characters.
