This might be my favorite episode. I was working on my Sonic Adventure video when you uploaded it. I made it to 2:30, paused the video, DEVOURED the first two episodes, then kept rewarding myself with another every time I got two minutes of footage edited. I binge-watched the whole series in one day, got my own video done, then came back and finished. So THANK YOU for getting me interested in this fantastic show, which feels like it was MADE for someone like me. I'd love to see you do a WHO DAT for the other girls, and I'd love even more for SEGA to commission a second season. :D
+The Geek Critique - Glad you liked the show. It definitely needs a second season, i feel they had bigger plans for it but budget was probably an issue... as things always are with SEGA, lol. Actually, i'm scripting another SEGA Hard Girl episode right now in fact :D
If anyone hasn't watched SEGA Hard Girls yet (like me when this episode aired), go watch it!! It's such a cute and fun anime and totally worth your time if you're a SEGA fan! On the topic of the review, I did notice a lot of favourtism towards Dreamcast, as she was the final console from SEGA. I think a shining example in addition to Center-Sensei's easy medal for DC was the Virtua Fighter episode and how Dreamcast has a knock out move. Serious, her attack was OP af. Anyways, I loved the review as usual! DiGi's stuff just keeps getting better and better... Not to mention his updates are always timed great! Here's hoping that DiGi will hit some blast processing power soon and hit up Mega Drive!
I really want a dub. I know subs are normally guaranteed to not get censored and have the original voice acting. I just prefer hearing what they say instead of reading it. Having to read what they say takes my focus away from what's happening in the scene and details the scene may have.
sonic meerkat yeah but oh well I seen other people make there own fan made dub I seen with animal crossing movie the Mario animated movie from the 80's and so on!
i'd love "Who Dat?" on Neptune but DiGi would have to play the RPG's to do her justice (and those are fairly long) and then also really enjoy her or the franchise. Please do a Who Dat on Neptune im on my knees beggin' ya
Well if it means anything when Hyperdimension Neptunia vs. Sega Hard Girls comes out you might see a revival in attention to the series by sega because neptnuia games sell like hotcakes in japan and people usually like the charecters so heres hoping it helps do a little reviving.
It was such a pleasant surprise when you uploaded this all those years ago. I was shocked when I saw this in my subscription feed as it felt like I’m the only one who watched the series but thanks to this these amazing characters got the proper shout out they deserve. Thank you so much for doing this Digi, you’re the man!
Yo man! This is a really interesting topic. I literally had no idea there was an anime based off Sega's consoles. Have you ever heard of Hyperdimension Neptunia? Totally reminds me of that! It's kinda like the same thing with girls based on consoles 'n shit. Anyways, tight vid dude!
+PerrydactylShow Yeah, bruh! SEGA Hard Girls are having a cross-over with Hyperdimension Neptunia for some RPG game coming out next year, in fact. I've not personally played Neptuina so i'm not sure if it's any good but i definitely know what series you're talking about! And thanks for watching again, man! I appreciate it! :)
6:09 We'd need a non-commerical model of her first. Sadly, the only known models of the sega hard girls were the three main characters of the anime that were put in a pack-in DVD for a japanese magazine... The MMD Community has a bit of a double standard when it comes to commercial models I guess (they have no qualms with porting video game rip models)...
Fantastic episode as always! And hilarious at that. I love this anime, cuz I'm such a damn SEGA nerd. And might I say, that artwork Sami made of DC looks sooo awesome!
+I Hate Video Games Yeah, i feel the SEGA kids are gonna get the most out of this show, the amount of in-jokes in there is amazing. But i do hope some people from outside the SEGA circles might give it a try and see what all the fuss is about. And yeah, Smai's art was killer! It always is. Major props to that girl! Thanks for tuning in again! :)
Oh my god, I forgot this show existed after I passed it over on Crunchyroll, but you just sold me on it! I was afraid it was going to be a creepy fanservice fest like the Neptunia anime when I read the description. But not only is it rather tame, but everything in this video gave me such a nostalgia rush because I owned all of these consoles! And the Dreamcast was my second favorite console, with the Saturn being my first! And yeah, my mom had to buy a cellphone because it was always so hard to find a good place to stop playing Phantasy Star Online, and just surfing the web in general for me(she used my Dreamcast to do both too XD)! But now I have to watch this show as soon as possible! Because seeing living representations of the Sega consoles go to the universes of Sonic, Jet Set Radio, and Space Channel 5 with Yuji Naka as their teacher is some kind of childhood dream come true! Thanks for the recommendation Digi!
+cloudstrife4534 Nah, SEGA Hard Girls doesn't go too deep with fanservice. I mean, it is in there but it is never shoved in your face in a distasteful way and it ALWAYS jokes with you about it whenever it does happen. The characters are always aware of what's going on, it's brilliant! XD The best aspect about this show was the girls jumping in to the game worlds. Unfortunately, because the series wasn't that long they didn't jump in to as many game worlds as i would have liked them to, and i feel budget issues might have prevented them from making more episodes, but the games they do visit are awesome. No problem, man. I'm glad you feel inclined to check out the show now. My work here is done! ENJOY! :)
+sosoeddy Thanks ya! Definitely check out this show if you can find it online somewhere. If you played the Dreamcast then you should like some of what they reference in this series! It's pretty cool! ^.^
I never knew that Yuji Naka was in this shown until now so thank you for that :) but if this show had a second season what would the second season be all about? the girls have finally gone to earth and now there no more console so....what would be the second season have some great war? abandonment or living in some never end nightmare of dreams due for them feel like there been forgotten by everyone or they turn into real humans? now that interesting and maybe just maybe some character will be inspired by people in the SEGA fandom let alone Sonic fandom and maybe NiGHTS fandom too I don't know those are some of my ideas ^^
Found it on CrunchyRoll after watching this. The episodes are only 11 minutes long, and 13 episodes. You were right, about being over before you know it only 2hrs 23minutes. Glad I found this to watch at least because of you
still haven't watched this!! considering how short it is, I shouldn't have any excuses! Your review of dreamcast was so enjoyable... must watch this soooon!!
+Astral Hitchhiker That's what i like to hear! Go, watch and enjoy! And more importantly, thanks for watching this episode of Who Dat! I appreciate it! :)
HOW DO THESE THREE NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS!?!?!? IT’S BEEN TEN YEARS FOR FUCK’s SAKE. JUST ABOUT. *sigh* Man, try to Stay Strong out there DiGI. Big Love to you and yours. Once Again, and Thanks for everything. Alright that’s Enough outta me for now.
This was an interesting episode DiGi. It was interesting since it pretty much combined two of your review medias (anime and video games) into one, and not just like other characters who were from one or the other originally and then just transitioned over. So i gotta say this one was fairly informative given the history of the characters background (being a dreamcast and all that) and it was pretty good Keep it man, you're doing great.
+CoronetChris Yeah, i figured i'd trying killing two birds with one stone for this episode. Cover anime + video games in one go! XD Thanks for watching, i'm glad you enjoyed the episode, man! :)
What a fascinating concept. I'll admit I spent most of this episode slack-jawed wondering how such an idea could really become a series. SEGA is really taking a good attitude towards its history lately, ironically by not taking it so fucking seriously. You going to cover the other Hard Girls eventually?
+GamesBrained Yes indeed, I definitely do plan to do episodes on the other two main Girls who appeared in the show - Mega Drive and SEGA Saturn. Not sure when i am going to do them but they're definitely in the pipeline :)
Am I the only one craving for a Sega Hard Girls video game? I mean yeah, they did do that neat crossover with Neptunia a while back. But I mean like a solo Sega Hard Girls game. Personally, I want it to be a 3D action, adventure RPG (similar to Kingdom Hearts) with a fun story that revolves around traveling into Sega game worlds and teaming up with the characters of said game worlds to save the world.....or something. I don't know, I'm still thinking about what the story should be. On one hand, it could simply follow the plot of the anime (or at least something similar to the anime) but with more games featured and overall just more content, or it could revolve around a new universe with a different plot (Superdemention Neptunia vs Sega Hard Girls did this as well). If it followed the plot of the anime, then that would be fine I guess. But if they desided to do something a little different, like maybe take a few things from the anime (and other material they were in) and make a new universe and story out of it, then I think that would be a lot more fun. Plus it would also give those other mostly unused Sega Hard Girls their opportunity to shine!
Technically speaking while they did have a certain degree of creative control Sega didn't actually make the anime themselves. In fact, the whole Sega Hard Girls franchise was a collaborative effort with ASCII Media Works, with TMS being the producers of the anime. Admittedly, TMS is owned by Sega Sammy Holdings, but unless I'm mistaken, is a mostly independent subsidiary(which should be evident by the fact that it's owned by a Sega Sammy holdings company and not Sega Sammy itself). Also the orange swirl applied to every region _BUT_ the EU because of patent issues, not just japan.
6:09 That would certainly be cool. I'd actually like to see her and the rest of the SeHa Girls or Hyperdimension Neptuna characters in a fighting game of sorts. Maybe in M.U.G.E.N, perhaps? We need to get Balthazar or some other content creators on this!
Just by looking at SEGA Hard Girls, I would think this was a silly thing and would probably not take it seriously. But as a Who Dat video about this character was made, I of course decided to see, not only out of curiosity, but because Who Dat is a nice show. And this is actually way more than I expected and it seems actually pretty nice. And now, I'm actually interested and I want to see more of the other characters. XD
Oh god I still have that "turn me on" magazine somewhere D: all that Dreamcast hype just wasn't realized in the long run, but I will admit Sonic Adventure 1 was one of the few times I've ever had fanboy tears... at the time! Let's keep things in context people I can't remember who mentioned sega hard girls first, but you might have been the reason that year ago I found out about it in the first place. This kind of in-joke humour is the sort of thing I used to only associate with internet comedy, good on them I guess :D but it might also be the reason the show never got another season D: If you like random sega anime tie ins check out "Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de" aka "World War Blue" if you haven't already.
+ShinKou Show Yeah, the very first issue of the official UK Dreamcast magazine. I had that one and the first issue of DC:UK too. There was so much hype in the UK surrounding Dreamcast ....it just felt wasted because the TV adverts were absolutely terrible. Also, yeah. I have heard about World War Blue ...doesn't the character that's meant to represent Tails die in the first episode? It's been a few years since i watched it. From what i remember though the series didn't take off ...apparently it wasn't that well received, so i heard :/
THEY'RE BRINGING IT BACK! Rumor is there could be a mini console hardware girl, or that mini is a form the girls will take; it's hard to understand what the Japanese translation was saying.
I first heard you mention "SEGA Hard Girls" on "Hit Me" but I've never gotten round to watching it, sort of how I never got around to actually playing any SEGA Console until now and from the passion that you emanate from this episode and the episodes highlighting Sonic characters I really feel like I missed out on something special. I guess I'm gonna have to go back and see what I missed some time. I've got a Dreamcast after all, nothing's stopping me. And I've heard that the Saturn's the best place to play Panzer Dragoon and that series is my crack. And then the Dreamcast herself, I mean design wise boy howdy is she is a cutie. I may end up watching the show just for her 'cause Wooo wee I can't get her out of my head now. (Insert Kylie song). She seems to have the personality I love in characters so I reckon I'll get a kick out of her and the show. Thanks again bruv.
+Dracus Oh hell yeah, dude. If you have a Dreamcast then go grab some games and play that old skool shit. It's ace! Same goes for the Saturn, that console gained a cult-fanbase for a reason. Panzer Dragoon was a brilliant series, and if you can somehow get your hands on Panzer Dragoon Saga (the most rarest/expensive title in the series) then you'll be one step closer to gaming heaven! SEGA really did have some brilliant machines, even if they got over-shadowed by the competition. As for the Hard Girls, yeah if you can find the show somewhere then definitely watch it. It's not too long and will be over before you know it, but it does a lot of cool things. Thanks for watching, bruvva! ~
time to subscribe this guy,because i already finish the series but its kinda sad that they should make season 2 about why they arent good i supposed....
+Hope Colpan Yep! Been making this show for about 6 months now, and been using the channel itself for about a year. Haha, welcome to the party! Thanks for checking it out! XD ~♥
Something else that stands out to me now that I think about it; the Dreamcast also had far more colour options than it's predecessors with it's VGA box accessory. That kind of unique power makes the colour contrast to her fellow Hard Girls all the more interesting... Besides, obviously, the difference in colour of the consoles. That said, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Neptunia design for their anthropomorphized Dreamcast, Uzume Tennouboushi. How they compare and contrast.
+JacksonJin I've had a few people recommend Neptunia to me since i'm such a SEGA Hard Girls fanboy, lol. I need to give that series time though since there's quite a lot to it, so i've been told. The SEGA Hard Girls are having a cross-over game with them soon, so i'll more than likely check that out if it gets released outside of Japan.
Am i the only 1 who heard Jet Set Radio and then had my childhood come back 2 me? Btw nice video. I loved evr second... u should do a character from Jet Set Radio... maby Beat(being mascot of course), Yo-Yo, or Garam :-)
Phantasy Star Online 2 did a collaboration Arks Cash Scratch for Sega Hard Girls, where Dreamcast's outfit, accessories, and weapon (camo) were among some of the prizes you could win. I didn't actually realize that those were from this Anime until I saw this video. bumped.org/psublog/pso2-jp-ac-scratch-holy-night-christmas/
Reppin' that Dream Key 3.0 shit there cuz. I dig it. I completely missed the SEGA Hard Girls train the first time around- hardly surprising, given I don't really follow Anime very closely, and am not massively into slice of life dealios- but I get the feeling I should give it another chance and see what's up with it somewhere down the line.
Looks like Sir J has completely removed his online presence. I can't find that background theme he made anywhere. I ESPECIALLY liked the remix in the sega hard girls videos. Sad :'(
I'm not sure if you mentioned it or not, but when you said that Dreamcast's family was poor I think that that might have been a nod to Sega's struggling finances around the time the console was released which was what lead to the Dreamcast being the last console Sega created.
I love that anime show and I agree on the fact that it was WAY too short :/ I hope you´ll do someday do a Megadrive episode, I actualy like her shy and geeky personality alot... + glasses girl C:
+ScottyNova Yeah, that would be thanks to the talented E.D Thweatt. She's a brilliant animator, go check out her channel if you haven't already. Links are in the video description! :)
I think that the Dream Blade is a reference to the Sega Dreamcast codename. During development of the console it was known as "katana" before receiving the official name. It would have been nice if she had an actual Japanese sword instead of the one she has.
Considering how Dreamcast tends to believe anything she finds on the internet, I wonder what her reaction would be towards the Sonic fandom and the 'critics' who bash the Sonic Adventure games? 🤔
+Madd Capp All of the Hard Girls art in this episode was drawn by Smai, there are links to her Tumblr page in the video description and a lot of the art can be found there! :)
+wesley cominotti Yeah, i was aware she made an appearance in that game :) Kinda makes me wish there was a SEGA Hard Girls fighting game, to be honest.
They should include Master System & Game Gear as younger twins (possibly non identical), one bigger than the other (Master System) & the other being more agile (portable) & colourful in personality (Game Gear) whilst both having shared interests but still arguing over which one is better at times. Also, Game Gear should get tired very easily/having a big appetite due to having to be powered by batteries.

Actually, i'm scripting another SEGA Hard Girl episode right now in fact :D
I thought Dreamcast would talk a lot because the actual Dreamcast was so loud when it was reading disks.
Really?
Usually are my PS2 and Wii and the PS3 of my brother louder louder.
If she grinded her teeth, then yes
when put next to a wii dreamcast is really quiet
I think all cd consoles were pretty noisy gamecube, playstation.
If anyone hasn't watched SEGA Hard Girls yet (like me when this episode aired), go watch it!! It's such a cute and fun anime and totally worth your time if you're a SEGA fan!
On the topic of the review, I did notice a lot of favourtism towards Dreamcast, as she was the final console from SEGA.

Here's hoping that DiGi will hit some blast processing power soon and hit up Mega Drive!
4:19 In the Neptunia crossover though, they actually changed her colors to blue for the European versions which is a very nice attention to detail.
If only there was a US red version.
If only there was a US red version.
*Just hearing about this series again after YEARS. THIS TIME I WANNA GET INTO IT!*
I really want a dub.
I know subs are normally guaranteed to not get censored and have the original voice acting.
I just prefer hearing what they say instead of reading it.
Having to read what they say takes my focus away from what's happening in the scene and details the scene may have.
well there always fan dubs
Yeah I know, I'll probably watch one since it's unlikely there will be an official dub.
sonic meerkat yeah but oh well I seen other people make there own fan made dub I seen with animal crossing movie the Mario animated movie from the 80's and so on!
cool, fans do create amazing things.
sonic meerkat yeah :D
... had to stop at jet set radio bit and watch the show...
God... JSR and JSRF days were the shit. What I'd do to go back to those days.
I started watching the show thanks to you and I have to say just after watching 2 episodes, that I am going to watch the rest of it as I love it.
Man, you really might just be my favourite content creator on UA-cam right now. Keep up the good work mate.
dude~ i swear this series is awesome. You cover like all the best characters XD love Dreamcast and her OP Headbutt
+bybyblue That OP Headbutt better never get nerfed, lol! Thanks for watching the show, i'm really glad to hear you're liking it so far! Thank youuu ~
Why haven't you done a "who dat" on Neptune??
Yes.
This.
Now.
Or whenever you're up to it really.
i'd love "Who Dat?" on Neptune but DiGi would have to play the RPG's to do her justice (and those are fairly long) and then also really enjoy her or the franchise.
Please do a Who Dat on Neptune im on my knees beggin' ya
What do you mean by Neptune?
How convenient that I find out about this character the day after I find a Dreamcast at a video game store!
they're part of the new Neptunia game. Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls
Hmm... This is really fitting considering something coming in the near future. You'll see what I mean.
+Goodbye18000 what do u know
+Goodbye18000 Hell yes~ 知っていますよ。 Super excited.
+Goodbye18000 What are you up to again, Tanner? Eh? Eeeehhhh???
+Goodbye18000 hmm are you going to play hyperdimension neptunia rebirth games i suggest play them
Is it Project Diva O.o because they do look like the Vocaliods Miku Len Luka etc
And now they are in a Nep-Nep game wich is wierd considering that Uzume is already representing the Dreamcast....
Ehh. Alternate dimension. It's pretty much Uzume vs Dreamcast. Game gear vs Nepgear. Stuff like that.
DarknessUmbreon1997
I tought so.
I gona get it anyway since I like the nep games. They are a lot of fun 90% of the time.
dricsi07 the other 10% being Producing Perfection I assume
Pcuspard top Kek my dude. (I'd get that game if it was like 80% off just for the dialogue.)
DarknessUmbreon1997 It's basically a non-dating sim. I'm kinda glad we're probably never gonna get it on Steam.
Well if it means anything when Hyperdimension Neptunia vs. Sega Hard Girls comes out you might see a revival in attention to the series by sega because neptnuia games sell like hotcakes in japan and people usually like the charecters so heres hoping it helps do a little reviving.

The Nintendo 64 disliked this video
Yoshin Pixels- Dreamcast is twice the... Um... Person(?) N64 is. Just not at colleges.
@@bryanperez6045 I dont if that would work.

We need "Who dat?" Noire or Dio Brando(He got big history on Arcade,Dreamcast and PS1 and PS2,beyond games)

Wow. This anime looks great. I am a huge retro Sega fan so this is perfect for me. Thank you for making this video.
Am I the only one craving for a Sega Hard Girls video game?
I mean yeah, they did do that neat crossover with Neptunia a while back. But I mean like a solo Sega Hard Girls game.
Personally, I want it to be a 3D action, adventure RPG (similar to Kingdom Hearts) with a fun story that revolves around traveling into Sega game worlds and teaming up with the characters of said game worlds to save the world.....or something.

But if they desided to do something a little different, like maybe take a few things from the anime (and other material they were in) and make a new universe and story out of it, then I think that would be a lot more fun. Plus it would also give those other mostly unused Sega Hard Girls their opportunity to shine!
Interesting concept! You just gave me an excellent idea!
Technically speaking while they did have a certain degree of creative control Sega didn't actually make the anime themselves. In fact, the whole Sega Hard Girls franchise was a collaborative effort with ASCII Media Works, with TMS being the producers of the anime. Admittedly, TMS is owned by Sega Sammy Holdings, but unless I'm mistaken, is a mostly independent subsidiary(which should be evident by the fact that it's owned by a Sega Sammy holdings company and not Sega Sammy itself).
Also the orange swirl applied to every region _BUT_ the EU because of patent issues, not just japan.
6:09 That would certainly be cool. I'd actually like to see her and the rest of the SeHa Girls or Hyperdimension Neptuna characters in a fighting game of sorts. Maybe in M.U.G.E.N, perhaps? We need to get Balthazar or some other content creators on this!
There's a game called superdimension neptunia vs sega hard girls.
Just by looking at SEGA Hard Girls, I would think this was a silly thing and would probably not take it seriously.
But as a Who Dat video about this character was made, I of course decided to see, not only out of curiosity, but because Who Dat is a nice show.
And this is actually way more than I expected and it seems actually pretty nice.
And now, I'm actually interested and I want to see more of the other characters. XD
Oh god I still have that "turn me on" magazine somewhere D: all that Dreamcast hype just wasn't realized in the long run, but I will admit Sonic Adventure 1 was one of the few times I've ever had fanboy tears... at the time! Let's keep things in context people
I can't remember who mentioned sega hard girls first, but you might have been the reason that year ago I found out about it in the first place. This kind of in-joke humour is the sort of thing I used to only associate with internet comedy, good on them I guess :D but it might also be the reason the show never got another season D:
If you like random sega anime tie ins check out "Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de" aka "World War Blue" if you haven't already.
+ShinKou Show Yeah, the very first issue of the official UK Dreamcast magazine. I had that one and the first issue of DC:UK too. There was so much hype in the UK surrounding Dreamcast ....it just felt wasted because the TV adverts were absolutely terrible.
Also, yeah. I have heard about World War Blue ...doesn't the character that's meant to represent Tails die in the first episode? It's been a few years since i watched it. From what i remember though the series didn't take off ...apparently it wasn't that well received, so i heard :/
THEY'RE BRINGING IT BACK!
Rumor is there could be a mini console hardware girl, or that mini is a form the girls will take; it's hard to understand what the Japanese translation was saying.
Really like ur vids, keep up good work!!
Holy crap, now I want to watch it all over again :')
+xilefeniotan I think i've watched the series about 4 times through now, lol XD We need more!!
+DiGi Valentine You know i'll always agree! :D
I remember this way back when. Loving this episode!
+Madd Capp Many thank you's for watching! Can't believe it's been a year since SEGA Hard Girls originally aired though. That went too quickly.
hey wait... in europe and america dremcast was blue?? my cousins bought it in canada and its orange
Konrad Baran yea cause that's Canada. Not Europe
yeah that makes sense
Actually, in America the Dreamcast is orange.
I first heard you mention "SEGA Hard Girls" on "Hit Me" but I've never gotten round to watching it, sort of how I never got around to actually playing any SEGA Console until now and from the passion that you emanate from this episode and the episodes highlighting Sonic characters I really feel like I missed out on something special. I guess I'm gonna have to go back and see what I missed some time. I've got a Dreamcast after all, nothing's stopping me. And I've heard that the Saturn's the best place to play Panzer Dragoon and that series is my crack.
And then the Dreamcast herself, I mean design wise boy howdy is she is a cutie. I may end up watching the show just for her 'cause Wooo wee I can't get her out of my head now. (Insert Kylie song). She seems to have the personality I love in characters so I reckon I'll get a kick out of her and the show.
Thanks again bruv.
+Dracus Oh hell yeah, dude. If you have a Dreamcast then go grab some games and play that old skool shit. It's ace! Same goes for the Saturn, that console gained a cult-fanbase for a reason. Panzer Dragoon was a brilliant series, and if you can somehow get your hands on Panzer Dragoon Saga (the most rarest/expensive title in the series) then you'll be one step closer to gaming heaven! SEGA really did have some brilliant machines, even if they got over-shadowed by the competition.
As for the Hard Girls, yeah if you can find the show somewhere then definitely watch it. It's not too long and will be over before you know it, but it does a lot of cool things.
Thanks for watching, bruvva! ~
time to subscribe this guy,because i already finish the series but its kinda sad that they should make season 2 about why they arent good i supposed....
Huh! I didn't know you did this, Digi! super rad! I watched them all practically.
+Hope Colpan Yep! Been making this show for about 6 months now, and been using the channel itself for about a year. Haha, welcome to the party! Thanks for checking it out! XD ~♥
Owning that hoodie after it's gone out of sale from that site kinda makes it all the more special, haha.
I've enjoyed watching Hi-sCoool SeHa Girls and you are right it was too short, but loved it none the less.
In our region the swirl is red
What do these colors signify? O.o
May i suggest NiGHTS near Christmas time
+Swift_Heracross ;)
DiGi Valentine :o
+Swift_Heracross shit.
it has begun.
This show is so calming, pleasant, and informative!
+TheTealBomber Thank you very much, i'm glad you like it! :)
Great Video!
The blue Dreamcast is actually a thing now.
What 's the music at the beginning? that starts at 0:26?
Something else that stands out to me now that I think about it; the Dreamcast also had far more colour options than it's predecessors with it's VGA box accessory. That kind of unique power makes the colour contrast to her fellow Hard Girls all the more interesting... Besides, obviously, the difference in colour of the consoles.
That said, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Neptunia design for their anthropomorphized Dreamcast, Uzume Tennouboushi. How they compare and contrast.
+JacksonJin I've had a few people recommend Neptunia to me since i'm such a SEGA Hard Girls fanboy, lol. I need to give that series time though since there's quite a lot to it, so i've been told. The SEGA Hard Girls are having a cross-over game with them soon, so i'll more than likely check that out if it gets released outside of Japan.
Am i the only 1 who heard Jet Set Radio and then had my childhood come back 2 me? Btw nice video. I loved evr second... u should do a character from Jet Set Radio... maby Beat(being mascot of course), Yo-Yo, or Garam :-)
Good job as usual. :D I wonder who's next.
+Shadow Dinosaur Network Thanks, dude! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
she also appeared in a game called fighting climax
Phantasy Star Online 2 did a collaboration Arks Cash Scratch for Sega Hard Girls, where Dreamcast's outfit, accessories, and weapon (camo) were among some of the prizes you could win. I didn't actually realize that those were from this Anime until I saw this video.
bumped.org/psublog/pso2-jp-ac-scratch-holy-night-christmas/
I would like to see a second season focusing on a group of 3 of the other girls
Wow, I really like that opening song for Dreamcast. Also I have never heard of this SEGA Hard Girls.
+Gabriel Hernandez Check it out if you can, man. It's a great show! :)
Now that I think about it. Why didn't they also create a Master System character? I haven't watched the show, but I wanna know if they did or not.
I heard of this series but I never had an interest in watching it, until now. It looks quite well thought out and fun.
Reppin' that Dream Key 3.0 shit there cuz. I dig it.
I completely missed the SEGA Hard Girls train the first time around- hardly surprising, given I don't really follow Anime very closely, and am not massively into slice of life dealios- but I get the feeling I should give it another chance and see what's up with it somewhere down the line.
Hey Digi, The Sega hard girls are in a game against the hyperdimension neptunia franchises main character. How about a Who Dat on some of the CPUs?
I wish there was an unlockable outfit in Space Channel 5 VR where Ulala can dress like Dreamcast
Dreamcast has no business being this relatable
Looks like Sir J has completely removed his online presence. I can't find that background theme he made anywhere. I ESPECIALLY liked the remix in the sega hard girls videos. Sad :'(
do you know where i can find the episode's at
I'm not sure if you mentioned it or not, but when you said that Dreamcast's family was poor I think that that might have been a nod to Sega's struggling finances around the time the console was released which was what lead to the Dreamcast being the last console Sega created.
I love that anime show and I agree on the fact that it was WAY too short :/
I hope you´ll do someday do a Megadrive episode, I actualy like her shy and geeky personality alot... + glasses girl C:
I love your intro
+ScottyNova Yeah, that would be thanks to the talented E.D Thweatt. She's a brilliant animator, go check out her channel if you haven't already. Links are in the video description! :)
I think that the Dream Blade is a reference to the Sega Dreamcast codename. During development of the console it was known as "katana" before receiving the official name. It would have been nice if she had an actual Japanese sword instead of the one she has.
So Yeah, I just came back to this video to re-watch Digi's old intro (such a catchy tune) Also, the spoiler alert at the start. That happened.
anyone know where i can watch this
14:14 What Is The Music?
are you planning to make a video about megadrive
your editing game is on point, very cool you got my sub
+ScottyNova Thanks for deciding to stick around, i appreciate it a lot!! Cheers! ~
7:41 ... and isnt Digital Pimp just a precursor to DIGI_Valentine anyway?
Hey, can you do Blues if you haven't yet? thanks
Ahh yes I remember when I had a mega drive, a Sega Saturn ,and a Dreamcast... But now I have none:/
Also she’s got these adorable pink panties that, I think, is supposed to match the color of her hair 😁.... too much detail?😅
Considering how Dreamcast tends to believe anything she finds on the internet, I wonder what her reaction would be towards the Sonic fandom and the 'critics' who bash the Sonic Adventure games? 🤔
Must confess, as someone who grew up with all three consoles, the ending to the anime got me a bit emotional. Such good times. Always remember.
NeedEntertainment where can you watch the show
chublacka PBC I'm pretty sure you can find it on most anime streaming sites.
chublacka PBC look it up on Crunchyroll under "Seha Girls" for legal streaming.
danielsjohnson you are really fucking late
I'm not gonna be surprised if Nintendo makes their own anime girls based off their consoles...
didnt dreamcast appear on Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax too as "Denshin"?
+Lunarethic Aye.
And thats why he's Notorious B.I.G
+Vulture Socks BIIIIIIIIG ..... . . .s'funny since his alt name was Biggie Smalls so he might have actually been tiny, LOL ~
Who remembers ristar that 1 game that got no attention but is really good
Where can we find HD artwork for the character art? :c
+Madd Capp All of the Hard Girls art in this episode was drawn by Smai, there are links to her Tumblr page in the video description and a lot of the art can be found there! :)
Great episode man
Still waiting dem ace attorney characters though ;)
10:10
It always irks me, when I see a ntsc dreamcast, with a pal controller.
Or vice versa for that matter...
but did you know befor this came out she showed up as a character in dengeki bunko fighting climax
+wesley cominotti Yeah, i was aware she made an appearance in that game :) Kinda makes me wish there was a SEGA Hard Girls fighting game, to be honest.
you have to know about the neptunia sega hard girls cross over then right
Yeah, i know about it. It released in Japan last week, i think.
Why is there no Master System?
She wasn't in the show, or in the Neptunia crossover game.
They should include Master System & Game Gear as younger twins (possibly non identical), one bigger than the other (Master System) & the other being more agile (portable) & colourful in personality (Game Gear) whilst both having shared interests but still arguing over which one is better at times.
Also, Game Gear should get tired very easily/having a big appetite due to having to be powered by batteries.
Wasn't this literally Hyperdimension Neptunia?
inst it red in america?
