Sega Hard Girls is a very weird thing and the fact that they made a whole anime around it is just as weird.
The story is about Sega consoles "Graduating" by going inside random Sega games and completing objectives.
From the very first minute watching this show you can tell the budget is incredibly small, the show was animated in MMD and used artwork made by KEI (The guy who drew Hatsune Miku and most of her official art). Because of that every characters kinda look like Hatsune Miku in a weird way.
The characters themselves barely have a personality, Mega Drive is the smart one and I genuinely cannot differentiate the other 2 character's personalities.
The music and sound effects themselves are almost entirely from Sega games, which isn't an issue since they have phenomenal soundtracks,…

Okay, straight up: I love Sega, and I have done so since I was literally five years old. So, naturally, one day when I was playing "Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax" for PS3 for like the umpteenth billionth time, I realized that during story mode, the "Denshin" had assumed the form of a girl wearing Sega Dreamcast-themed clothing, complete with a controller strapped to her forehead. I was actually very intrigued. Who is this person? However, at the time, I had just shrugged her off as being a completely new character specifically for that game. So, after looking up the words Dengeki Bunko on the Steam application for PC one other day, I came across a DLC item called the Dengeki Bracelet, for a game titled, "Superdimension Neptune Vs. Sega Hard Girls". Upon investigating the actual game, one…

I don't know which is weirder: the fact that someone thought this was a good idea or the fact that Sega gave the go ahead to do it. Sega must be on drugs. However, this is Japan, and one of the first laws in anime based on real things is "if it's an inanimate object or an animal, it must be turned into a cute high school girl." I really want to actually see what that meeting was like when this was pitched. The creators come to Sega and are just like "Hi, we wanna do an anime based on your consoles. We were thinking it would be about a high school where kids play different Sega games in order to graduate." Then we just have the president of Sega stroking his chin knowingly and nodding, and then responds with "Yes, that's great, but you know what this really needs? Cute high school girls who…

Its an anime about sega consoles turned into humanoid anime girls. If that doesnt draw you in, then I dont know what will. My only major complaint is that the show only focuses on 3 main characters instead of having each sega hard girl get their own turn in the spotlight, as I was excited to see what type of anime girl obscure sega systems such as the master system, VMU, and 32X would be. Unfortunately, besides some cameos in one episode, Dreamcast, Saturn, and Mega Drive are all you get. But eh, the animation is OK, gillius thunderhead is a total pervert in love with ulala, Saturn gets in a bikini, and Dreamcast goes for the ol' one-two titty grab on mega drive at one point, and theres a sonic episode where sonic uncomfortably doesn't talk. 8/10

"It seems like it wasn't that long at all." ~ Sega Saturn-chan, Episode 13.
(NO duh Saturn-chan, the total runtime of the series is only about 3 hours)
I guess this is what you call pandering to the most niche audience possible.
Let us Break this Down.
Story: 3/10
Story is often one of, if not the, most important thing in any media. So with that in mind, one of the most damaging things for Hi*sChool SeHa Girls is the overall lack of an interesting story. While a story that can be simply summed up is a good thing in some cases (See: Lyrical Nanoha's first series, Highschool of the Dead), it actually hurts this series in a worse way.
The story is summed up as such: SEGA consoles inside of Anthromorphic bodies go to this Sega Academy to graduate and do something with their lives. School is…

I first found this anime through a gorgeous figure of Sega Saturn. It was a big shock on the first episode when I saw the art style, very unique x) I wouldn't say that there is much of a story to this, it's basically about three girls who need to achieve 100 medals by going into games in order to graduate. Their names and style are based from Sega consoles. You have, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast and Mega Drive. Despite this anime only having 11 minutes per episode, it is surely going to keep you entertained! Especially if you're a Sega fan.
Sega Saturn is more of a tsundere type, however you don't see that side of her much since there isn't that many main characters. I think she shows more different emotions then the other characters, one minute she can be really happy and the next minute embar…

One of the great things about anime is that the story could be about absolutely anything! Unfortunately, this means that some anime choose some REALLY stupid subject matter. Sega Hard Girls is an anime about the different generations of Sega hardware undergoing anthropomorphism into little moe girls. The Sega systems must graduate from Sega High School in order to enter the real world as consoles. Yep! This is going to be an odd one. I think Sega rediscovered the same bag of drugs they used to make Toejam and Earl!
The main characters are Mega Drive, Saturn, and Dreamcast. However, virtually every piece of hardware that Sega has ever made gets at least a cameo appearance. The girls play classic Sega games in order to receive points and graduate upon winning 100 points. This means that eac…

Are you a SEGA fan? As in, a die-hard sega fan that knows a lot about the company's history and has played a lot of its excellent first party titles?
If so, keep reading.
Hi☆sCoool! SeHa Girls is a CG series based on the character designs of the antropomorphized versions of sega consoles released throughout the years (hence sega hard[ware] girls) made by KEI, of Vocaloid fame.
While the artworks were done for the entirety of the hardware lineup, SeHa follows only the antics of mega drive, saturn and dreamcast, the flagship consoles for 4th, 5th and 6th generation respectively (while it does acknowledge the other girls' existence).
Characterizing a piece of hardware may have been a daunting task but with the memorable designs behind them and some inside jokes about each girl's technical…

As we all know, anime is a medium filled with a vast amount of ideas. From romantic-comedies involving "eighth grade middle school syndrome" to swiping at poetry cards, there is no shortage of shows willing to try something new. Another medium is exactly the same way: video games. Manly third-person shooters, plumbers jumping from platform to platform, and even intergalactic adventures are a small sampling of what video games have to offer. Some are hit or miss, and some even go down as legends. But in order to play these games, a game console is often required. In Hi☆sCoool! SeHa Girls, a story of consoles, games, and medals is played out, and it's as awful as it sounds.

2014 was a bit of a drought for me, so when I saw Hi☆sCoool! SeHa Girls, not only was it a surprise, it was probably my favorite anime of 2014.
The episodes are 10 minute each, about the classic Sega systems, the Mega Drive (Genesis in U.S.), Sega Saturn, and Dreamcast, imagined as girls attending "Sega highschool," where they enter old skool Sega games and interact with other Sega characters from Virtual Fighter, Sonic, Golden Axe, Phantasy Star, etc.
I think this show is particularly for the retro gamer. If the idea of knocking someone silly with a huge Dreamcast controller, or seeing the Sega systems dreading to enter an iPhone in realization of their impending obsolescence is funny to you, just this may be your show. It's all very lighthearted, with cute game references of a bygone…
