High Score Girl 1999 (Magyar és English)

Outro/Credits. (English version.)

High Score Girl. For others, what is a typical love story by manga or an anime is, to me, a journey with a some of genius elements that embraces years. I wanted to write a quality sequel to the piece that became a standard for me, which, in addition to continuing the story of our heroes, presents a great breeding ground for the video games of the era, just like the original. I'll give you a look behind the development. Let's see, how is HSG 1999. made. I divide three segments, just like a seasonal anime. So, let's get started! But before that, two of my friends say a message to you.

That was the end of High Score Girl 1999! Well done, Ragnafan1992!

Me and Ragnafan1992 love videogames. Back then in 2018, after I learned that J.C.Staff makes an anime adaptation about a romantic comedy manga which revolving around videogames, I knew that we must watch it. As I hoped, we enjoyed it. Then J.C.Staff came up with the „brilliant idea", to adapt a certain arc into a 3 episodes long ova, both me and Ragnafan1992 tough it was a bad idea. Thank God it was still enjoyable. Then the second and final season came in 2019, which started poorly, but in the second half, the anime shined again. In the end, it has become one of the most loveable and cutest romantic anime we have ever seen.

Once the anime finished, we learned that the mangaka created a spin-off sequel „High Score Girl Dash", where my favourite female character, Hidaka became the main character. Unfortunately, the mangaka made a mistake somewhere, because the videogames disappeared until the showdown between Hidaka and „Miss Retard Psycho", then they disappeared again. Then mangadex has been shot down and nobody know what is going on in Dash (not even on reddit). Both of us hated that spin-off! So much that it has became a taboo for us!

Not long after the first 3-4 chapters of High Score Girl Cash – sorry, „Dash" -, Ragnafan1992 came up with the idea to create a „fan fiction sequel" named „High Score Girl 1999". I encouraged him, that if he can do it till the end, then bring it on. Ragnafan1992 asked the help of me and xx18Rolandxx for many times.

At the beginning, I advised him to decide the storyline backward from the ending and coming up with different story arcs. Also, we decided the most important arcs, twists and events before started to working on them. Once we finished them, Ragna1992 started it, which has came to an end. The story was originally written Hungarian, but then he came up with the idea to translate it to English, so foreigner readers might enjoy it too.

Back to the story: my favourite characters of High Score Girl 19992 are Yaguchi, Oono, Hidaka, Daniel and Jago, while my least favorite was – surprise – Lilith. The only times I enjoyed Lilith's character was the funny conversations between her and Jago. My favourite story arc was final videogame tournament arc, where I wrote the King Of Fighthers segment and came up with the idea how should Oono and Yaguchi play together in the Garou Mark Of The Wolves segment. I really liked the rivalry between Hidaka and Raptor and the many JoJo's Bizarre Adventure references.

There were some times when we were thinking about certain twists more than the rest. Like Raptor's fate, what kind of games should be involved when, how long should the entire story. So yeah, even knowing the most important events and twists already made things hard, especialy if we came up a new idea.

Overall, I congratulate to Ragnafan1992 for his High Score Girl 1999 work and I am happy that I could be part of it too. I hope you all enjoyed his work as well!

Thank you again!
