YMMV / Hi-sCoool! SeHa Girls

• Accidental Innuendo: With a name like Sega Hard Girls, this was bound to happen, leading many who are unfamiliar with the series to think it is far more perverse than it really is. It's actually short for Sega Hardware Girls.
• Awesome Music: Given that this is a show about SEGA, a publisher well renowned for amazing soundtracks, this crops up a lot. Music taken directly from the games is pretty frequent, and it works quite well.
• Broken Base:
  • The fact that it's an All-CGI Cartoon, one animated in MikuMikuDance no less, is divisive to say the least.
  • Sonic and Eggman's appearance in episodes 6 and 7. A welcome appearance by non other than Sega's beloved mascot who put the company on the map, or an unwelcome case of Spotlight-Stealing Squad reminding fans of Sega's and Sonic's (at the time) unfavorable reputation? Fans were also torn that neither Sonic nor Eggman spoke at all, while some defend the move as remaining true to their classic voiceless appearances, despite their modern designs being used.
  • A small portion of English-speaking fans were bummed that Discotek Media didn't add an English dub for the home release using the same voice actors from Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls for the Hard girls. Others are fine without an English dub, especially considering it would have changed Center-sensei's voice actor.
• Fridge Brilliance: Although the girls wouldn't be the queens of videogame industry, they still managed to succeed in their goal of making kids all around the world happy.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • One of Mega Drive's game ideas in the Puyo Puyo lesson was basically to take Phantasy Star Online 2 and replace the players' weapons with puyos. While in the actual game you can't weaponize puyos, you can use an item that transforms your MAG into either a green or red puyo.
  • "I know! How about a Puyo Puyo RPG?" Thinking a bit backwards, there, Dreamcast. Also a bit forwards too, considering Chronicle's RPG mode.
  • Dreamcast is voiced by Mao Ichimichi, who would later voice two other characters in Sega-related media: Aika Suzuki in Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation and Joy in Shenmue: The Animation.
• It Was His Sled: While it was a big surprise back then, it's common knowledge at this point that Center-sensei is voiced by Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Yuji Naka.
• Just Here for Godzilla: Not surprisingly, a lot of people only tuned in just to see Sonic the Hedgehog. Because some fan sites covered his appearance, a good portion of fans wouldn't have discovered the series otherwise.
• Tear Jerker: The final episode: The girls all venture out into the real world and become Sega consoles. After heartfelt farewells with Mega Drive and Saturn, Dreamcast is initially reluctant to venture forth, but is given a vote of confidence by Sonic and other Sega characters.
  • Became double tearjerker if you realize how things end up for two of the girls, while at least one is still pretty successful.
• The Woobie: The fate of the console girls, if you stop to think about the implications a bit. As if fans didn't need to be sad over their forgotten consoles already...
• Woolseyism: The home release from Discotek Media includes some differences to the subtitles than those seen on Crunchyroll. In the school festival episode, Game Gear's favorite phrase is changed from "I'm tired" to "I'm drained", referencing the handheld's battery life, and when Mega Drive is given a speed upgrade in the Jet Set Radio episode, instead of being given a "turbo boost", she's given "Blast Processing", a term used to market the Sega Genesis in the states.
