High Score Girl beated. I dunno, this show just felt really inconsistent to me? It started out quite well, the the relationship between Yaguchi and Oono growing in a pretty strong way. I was actually kind of emotional with the big scene in episode three, which I wasn't really expecting. Hidaka isn't really all that interesting though, IMO. Her whole character is basically just that she likes Yaguchi. She did get more interesting after the time skips, but that aspect of her made her not all that compelling most of the time, especially since he never likes her back at all. The show took quite a while to get warmed up again after the focus switched back over to Oono, and even then it still had a lot of weird not so good writing stuff. The last episode was kind of painful: a huge event happens, but we don't get to see the aftermath. And then the show ends with a cliffhanger. It's annoying because it felt like they could've had a good, solid ending if they wanted to, but they just didn't. Bah.

As for some individual elements of the series:

The video game focus was cool, most of the time. It was better when Yaguchi was hanging out with Oono, since he explained things the way he would with a fellow gamer. Him talking to Hidaka wasn't quite as fun, since the explanations were so much more basic. I liked Guile a lot, and it was cool that they managed to get the game animations into the show like that.

Oono never talking was super dumb. Most of the time I could ignore it since Yaguchi was so talkative even with other characters, but then I'd remember that she didn't talk for no reason and just augh. You can't have the main heroine of the show not say anything ever for no reason!

Yaguchi's mom was the best. She was the funniest character (recurring gags like Yaguchi getting hit by a car were not funny...), and it was basically awesome every time she appeared. Her dialogue was amazing, the creepy animations she had were hilarious, and her VA was #1 (Satomi Arai needs to be in every show IMO). Plus she was great in more serious moments, too. Should've just been a show about Yaguchi hanging out with his mom tbqh.
