Hi☆sCoool! SeHa Girl Review

Overall Rating 7.7 out of 10 - Both funny and nostalgic to gamers of the 90s

I recommend watching to all gamers and possibly to others as well.

This show would be somewhat hard to understand or appreciate for those who did not play video games in 90s. There are lots of references to popular titles such that were available on Sega consoles, but some were ported on PC as well. Famous Sonic does appear, but even somewhat more obscure Golden Axe with its dwarf character as well. I myself played Golden Axe on my 286x and 386x with that very character most of the time.

The girls themselves are based on Sega consoles, Sega Mega Drive (Genesis), Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast. Unfortunately, Dreamcast was the last of Sega's attempt at competing in console market, it lost to ultra popular Sony Play Station 2, Nintendo's Game Cube and X-Box. 

Girls look rather cute; designers knew what they are doing with the design. Cute twin tails on two of them, gentle movements and manners, nice likable personalities and so on. Kawai so, cute uwu. I like Mega Drive somewhat more because she is more autistic and nerdier, but Saturn and Dreamcast are nice as well. Each of them have both chibi and full-size versions. 

CGI has some visible imperfections, but they are not too noticeable. Mega Drive glasses seem the most standing out of these. They are like games of 2000s when technology still did not allow full photo realism, but good 3D artists could still do decent work putting them together.

The show has somewhat subtle absurdity style (Gintama, Nichijou, Excel Saga) humor too. Sega does not hesitate to make fun of some of the things they did in the past. It can be fun to watch even if you were not gamer back then.

On the weaker side is possibly visuals. Sure, they reference angular, visibly polygonal or pixelated games of the old. However, there are few locations outside of that and they are not that extensively decorated either. There is nothing to show you Witcher 3 levels of quality of graphics. That is just a minor issue for a nostalgic gamer, but someone who is not a gamer might find visuals lackluster. 

Overall, I still recommend it. For games that is a very warm and pleasant experience that can remind you of better times. For others an interesting journey into history of video games.
