Hi Score Girl

20190728:
Today I decided to watch Hi Score Girl.

Akira Ono (JP: Sayumi Suzushiro / EN: Christine Marie Cabanos) (S1E1)

On 20190728, Netflix determined the series for me as a 93% match. I decided to give the series a thumbs up.

English audio and English subtitles. The subtitles don't match the English dubbing.

Koharu Hidaka (JP: Yuki Hirose / EN: Erika Harlacher)

S1E6:
1: New intro. At least, I didn't notice Hidaka in the intro of the previous episode, but I noticed her in this one. [I thought the intro had changed, because it was the first time I noticed Hidaka in it, but apparently she's been part of the intro since the first episode]
1: Hehe. She's thinking about her personality.
1: Hahahaha. "What's this? This feeling. It's like I felt it before. The feeling of that hood. It's nostalgic in a way."

S1E13:
1: How dare this woman approach Haruo in this manner?
1: Wow. Nice! Haruo's mom is awesome.
1: "She suggested I had pervy motives. How ridiculous! As if I would ever have pervy motives. My motives were pretty pervy though." Haha. The introduction of her older sister is good.

Haruo's mom Namie (JP: Satomi Arai / EN: Cindy Robinson), Koharu, and Akira's sister Makoto (JP: Chinatsu Akasaki / EN: Cristina Vee) watch Haruo play a romance game (S1E15)


I guess the full song is longer, but this is the part that is sung in the end credits:
