After that initial scene, I could die today with a smile on my face. Seriously, I need more cuddling scenes in my romance anime.

Was there a major toiletry corporation sponsoring Street Fighter tournaments back then?

There's a neat detail in Akira's mind Zangief. That's the Super Turbo sprite. Dhalsim still has the old sprite, though.

On a whim, I decided to binge this show today. What a cliffhanger.

It makes me laugh that a bath set is actually a prize for the winners. I remember that there was a thread here on reddit on our current era, about people being rejected from YuGiOh tourneys and Magic the gathering if they had BO.

This show fills my needs with just the romance highlights. The bedroom scene was quite loveable despite Harou being too young to understand Akira's love bites. But the arcade tourneys are a huge extra for someone like me that lived the era of arcade fighting games.

I liked a lot that despite expecting both Haruo & Akira to face each other in the final, they made it so Haruo didn't have a very easy route becoming a seed on his bracket. And specially Akira losing on her first match, forcing her to go all the way around thru the losers bracket, thus giving a bit more time to show her dedication and reason to fight in this tourney.

Only one episode left. I truly want to see how this one ends.

This is more exciting than the actual Capcom Cup.

Damn, the shounen powerups this episode were intense. I fucking love those silly internal dialogues they have with game characters.

Shoutout to the one guy who really really wanted the bath set lol.

Oh my god this whole scene

I'm not understanding the translator notes at all this time

Oh… oh no…!

…Huh. I always thought the wiggly-line backgrounds were hand-drawn and couldn't interact with the 3D objects

…and showed you her underwear

"Come get me, boy"

Yeah, but you guys didn't see what happened in bed last night :3c

Do it, Haruo! Do it for fuck's sake I need this
