THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I know Haruo is doing all the talking but I find the moments between him and Oono to be really cute this episode.

Really interesting details on the focus on Oono's scenes relating to the games and narratives. Seems the game competitive atmosphere for this episode is still intense as ever. Fans of fighting games are so passionate.

How are you watching it directly? Are you in Japan or something, or the anime is streamed officially on a Japanese site?

Come on Haruo... Do we really need to make some signs or give you step-by-step instructions of what to do? Get your shit together!

It's Oono's turn this time after Hidaka's turn. Here comes a hotel scene, but in the case of Oono and Haruo, it's quite Platonic. Although the author (of manga) specializes in horror comic and the character design is kind of eerie, the pure world without any physical desire is something special.

How can Haruo use Guile to block Zangief, the character can't be blocked dude!

Oono being the only female in the tournament made me so proud, on top she kicked so much ass. I loved how she crawled back from the depths oh hell and paved her way to the final, pretty badass if you ask me. Those Zangief combos were something of a mind blowing, Woohoo! Can't take away anything from Haruo with those Guile somersault combos, damn.

I'm actually tearing up like crazy right now, since next time it's the finale. I just love those two, they would make one epic couple, because the most important thing they're are best friends to each other. True romance is this anime, from the chemistry to their development as a couple. Whoever wrote this is a true star, too bad they brought their work to such a lame studio.

You know something, the semi-final match between Akira and Haruo felt like a grand final!

Bad ending coming?

I love 'High Score Girl' and I will miss Oono, Hidaka and Yaguchi.

Best episode of the season! I absolutely love the build-up. The music was perfect. The Haruo-Oono matches are the best part of the series and I can't wait for their show-down next episode. I'll miss this show!

Haruo lost the first round in just a few seconds, I'm glad the usual Oono is back. Now this is gonna be an intense final showdown.

Damn, the action is back! Oono annihilating opponent after opponent including Haruo in the first round was always, vintage Oono is back! Can't wait to see what Haruo's cooking up, meanwhile.

Some really cute moments at the start of the episode though. She's just too precious ffs. Haruo's "You.. You're cute." was so sweet as well, damn way to go lad. She sure is a deep sleeper xD.

I had a nasty feeling that Haruo might mess up but shockingly it was Oono and that too in the first round, yikes. What a return though, looks like Hidaka of all people turned out to be her savior in the nick of the moment.

It's sad that we're just an episode away from the finale now. Hopefully, we'll get some more High Score Girl after this!

As they've not shown any of the other groups I suspect Hidika is in the semi-finals of the other groups and will end up in the final with either Oono or Haruo which will be the final showdown (more likely Oono).

Imagine if they end the series with Hidika stepping onto the stage for the final battle with Oono.....

Hopefully there will be some OVA's like with series 1.

Man this episode felt like 2 seconds. I was so into I thought we'd finish their match for sure. It doesn't seem like they will be able to wrap all this up in 1 more episode. I'm guessing a second OVA to finish it off?

Oh my, Oono XD Do you really have to bite Yaguchi? Oono kept teasing Yaguchi in bed and made him fall in love for her X3 how adorable is that? The Love Spell had a great effect ;)

Akira didn't get to her usual self in her first match... that was not normal! Glad she got up and get the tickets to the semifinals so she can fight with Haruo. Let the real match begin!

Great episode! Sad next episode is the last one :( will miss seeing Haruo and Akira's relationship, unless there's more news comming up. If so, I will be very happy to know *-*

First part of episode was so sweet, Oono was realy precious, with that cute expression in that bed moment!

Didn´t expect Oono to lose the first battle, but i am glad she recovered from that lose, and now is in semifinal against Haruo, with a great determination!

Last episode netx week, i am realy affraid of that ending!

One thing's for certain: Oono's love proved far too strong for Haruo. Like a vampire biting a lover.

Let the tournament begin (once again) for both of them: the final chalice. Haruo once again with Guile, and he passed with flying colours. But Oono failing right out of the gate with Zangief isn't like her, what a surprise for the girl whose head has always been held high. In a surprise twist, out of the losers' match, she found her mojo back and recovered.

The semifinals' match where both of them are pitted against each other...THE FINAL MATCH of full-on intense battle and wits.

Next episode, the epic finish to this battle and this strong series.

Oono always shines when backed into a corner - remember previous episodes where she's deliberately made things difficult to increase the pressure of the challenge.

I still think Hidika will be the other semi-finalist and go through to the final (after Oono paid a visit to her store).

And it'll boil down to an Oono Vs Hidika final with the winner getting Haruo (but will Oono throw the match as she's leaving Japan?).

After all it is "High Score Girl" - so it infers Haruo won't win.

My favorite episode of this season, sadly there is only one left to finish the anime. I wonder who of the two would win?

You can watch Japanese tv online as it airs. I’m guessing that’s what Stark does and then he uses the manga for the English translation. I may be wrong but, from what I’ve seen, he doesn’t start anime discussions for anime that does not have a manga source. So I’m guesing he isn’t fluent in Japanese.



I’m so sad that this season is almost done. I love this show. They legit need to run away together.

I know I'm late but the second season covered the rest of the manga. So that's it :/ You can read the spin-off with Hidaka though.

I didn't know there was a Hidaka spin-off. There are only 2 chapters translated tho. Thanks, i'll read it for sure.

Finally, more side characters being a bit more competent but still I dislike how they're treated like a joke just to make the protagonists look good and nothing more.

I wonder what's Hidaka doing at this time!
