Hi-sCool Seha Girls episodes 5-8

This set of episodes start off with possibly the weakest one in the entire series.  Dreamcast, Saturn and Mega Drive are tasked with trying to come up with new games by using an existing property. In this case "Puyo Puyo". An old puzzle game made by sega.  Never really played this game  since I was more into Tetris and  the various clones.  The only Sega puzzle game I actually did play in the arcade was a Sakura Taisen/Wars themed puzzle game.

Seems there are Puyo, Puyo related games released for current smartphones but only available in Japan.


Moving onto episode 6 ...

We get to see a fairly more modern Sega game. Border Break, A mech/combat game. released in Japan and Asia about 5 years ago  Showing that while Sega may no longer be making home console systems they still do develop Arcade machines. From  how it looked in the show, it seems like an evolution the Virtual-On  game series. This episode gave me that Halo Red vs Blue vibe (early seasons)  so much! if you  enjoy that show you might find this episode interesting.

Episode 7...
Blue Hedgehog to the rescue


Dr. Eggman shows up as a boss for the girls to beat but get a little help from the Sega mascot himself. They travel through the Original game and the Adventure titles.
If you listen carefully to the second part of the episode you can hear Crush 40's song "His World" from Sonic 2006 (that terrible game). While a cool nod and history lesson for younger viewers, I had a difficult time watching parts of this epsisode due to bad contrast/gamma levels in some of the scenes.  Was watching on Crunchyroll so maybe the stream was bad a t that point in time. Not sure.

Episode 8...

In a sense you could label this as the "School Festival" episode. We get to see what some of the other Sega Hardware Girls look like. Master System, (North America's) Genesis, Game Gear and other devices I couldn't recognize.

The main thing I got out of this is that The Sega Master System games may have some great chiptune soundtracks that I might want to  listen to.
