Hi Score Girl is a Love
Letter to 90's Fighting Game Players

First
off, I'm not the typical person who recommends anime. Back in my younger
days, I used to watch a lot more anim. The
last "modern" anime I really enjoyed (and couldn't get enough of)
was One Punch Man (patiently waiting for Season 2). In general, I
spend much more of my time trying to get better at fighting games over watching
TV or movies. However, as a
fighting game enthusiast for 30+ years,
I'm here to recommend to you an anime called Hi Score
Girl.

Yoshihara Motoki

This past weekend's 17th
annual Cooperation Cup 2019 in Tokyo, Japan hosted a massive 5-vs-5 team
tournament in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. Returning artist Yoshihara
Motoki drew some special "official" illustrations
for the promotion of the tournament. As always, Yoshihara's beautiful art style
really makes a statement... and in this case, captures the "aura" of
the original artwork from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.
