Hi Score Girl Anticipation
I was waiting to be sure it was legit, but it seems like a done deal - Hi Score Girl is getting an anime.

Along with Baby Steps, this makes two joyous series announcements for me (for a change). This is a very good series indeed - really funny, sharp, edgy and surprisingly deep. Rensuke Oshikiri's Pupipo! is getting a short-form anime this season and the general art style is similar, but apart from that this is a very different sort of manga.

1991, huh. Yeah, I don't think arcades started to decline in popularity until the late '90s or early 2000s? (I very rarely visited any arcades myself - I think I've only gone twice in my life, both times with my brother - but I'm aware their heyday is long behind them.) Interesting premise; I'll have to check this show out.

So this must be why we haven't heard anything further about the series:

Well the latest news is that serialization will continue but Squeenix is recalling the tankoubons. As for the anime, there's contradictory information:

At least there is no announcement that the anime will be canceled. But if SNK-Playmore wins the lawsuit it would cost them a whole lot of money. Which will put into good use for their new KOF game (Either KOF Maximum Impact 3 or KOF XIV). But if SNK-Playmore and Square-Enix get in some kind of agreement to still release the anime.

This pisses me off to no end. It's a great effing manga, and because someone forgot to cross their Ts everything is on-hold and maybe worse. It's the curse of any manga I love. The thing is, Hi Score Girl is actually great publicity for SNK - it builds a nostalgia factor for their older catalog like nobody's business. But since they were never properly consulted, you can't really blame them for being pricks about it.

And now they've halted serialization. Still no news on the anime, but this can't be a good sign.

I feel really bad for fans of the manga, and I'm quite disappointed for what this likely means for the anime adaption, since I was looking forward to checking it out .
Ever the optimist that I am, hopefully Square Enix can work out something with SNK.
