''Hi sCoool! [=SeHa=] Girls'' is an anime television series that first aired in Japan via [[Creator/{{Animax}} Animax Japan]] on October 8, 2014 as part of the Fall 2014 season. It was produced Creator/TMSEntertainment with the show being directed by Sōta Sugahara. This is based on the overall ''Franchise/SegaHardGirls''[[note]]short for "Sega ''Hardware'' Girls"[[/note]] multimedia franchise developed together by [[Creator/{{Sega}} Sega Japan]] and Dengeki Bunko. It's scheduled to air a total of 13 episodes. It's also available for online viewing on Crunchyroll for legal viewing in North America. In November 2016, a DVD of the complete series was released in Japan containing a bonus episode. The series was licensed to Creator/DiscotekMedia for a North American physical release, and was released in a DVD/Blu-ray combo in May 2017 (missing the bonus episode).

** In the [[Creator/DiscotekMedia Discotek]] release, the subtitles are slightly altered in the ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' episode so that Mega Drive boasts her handicap rocket skates give her "Blast Processing".

* NoodleIncident: The "Words of Farewell" at the girls' graduation had them recap everything they did and learn, including almost getting caught speeding in ''VideoGame/CrazyTaxi'', trying on different outfits in ''Love and Berry'', and completing all sorts of unusual tasks in ''Feel the Magic''. Saturn remembers none of these lessons.

* OverlyLongTitle: The name of their culture festival (and the eighth episode) is called ''"Shine! The 54th! Shock to the Brain! No Spillage, But We'll Destroy the Barriers of Spillage-obsessed Youth! Sehagaga Academy Culture Festival!"''
* PaletteSwap: Lampshaded in the ''Virtua Fighter'' lesson, where the girls take on the [[VideoGame/GoldenAxe Bad Brothers]] several times.
-->'''Saturn''': Why do we keep getting green ones?
-->'''Mega Drive''': To cut down on costs, maybe?

* ReferenceOverdosed: This show references various [=Sega=]-made games and consoles throughout the season.

* AllCGICartoon: One of the few anime shows that uses [=CGI=] entirely, and in MikuMikuDance, no less!
* ArtStyleDissonance: Depending on the game they visit, this can happen. Compare the Hard Girls, rendered in MikuMikuDance, against the ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter'' characters, which are 32-bit low-poly models. This can also happen across games, such as Jeffry shuffling side-by-side next to the much-higher-poly [[VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 Ulala]].

* MikuMikuDance: Animation software used for the show.

The show centers on the various Sega consoles as anthropomorphic students as they go to a [=Sega=]-centric school called Sehagaga Academy, located in Haneda, Tokyo. The students consist of [[UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast Dreamcast]], UsefulNotes/MegaDrive, and UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn as they work under the instruction of their teacher, Center-sensei, in order to earn enough credits to graduate from the academy. The Bonus episode features UsefulNotes/MasterSystem, Mark III, Mega Drive 2 and Robo Pitcher.

* SuperDeformed: [[FunSize How the consoles actually appear when they first show up in the academy...]] until they go inside a game.

** In the SchoolFestival episode, other Sega Hard Girls were mentioned, including GameGear, who gets tired quickly and leaves before third period to watch TV (a joke about the Game Gear's miserable battery life and TV Tuner add-on); [[UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem Master System]], a musician who has [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff fans in Brazil and South America]], and "[[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Jennie]]", [[MarketBasedTitle an exchange student from America]].

* CallBack: At the end of the ''VideoGame/BorderBreak'' lesson, Dreamcast is thrown from Sonic's head and headbutts the enemy core that they were supposed to destroy, which [[OneHitKill destroys it instantly]], as in the ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter'' lesson.

* ChekhovsGun: Mega Drive's book in the ''VideoGame/BorderBreak'' lesson. When they arrive back at the arena later on, the Hard Girls find the discarded book and use it to summon an [[InvincibilityPowerUp Invincibility TV Monitor]] for Sonic.

* {{Fanservice}}: The show seems to be dedicated to cramming every Sega-related reference as physically possible into a 12-minute episode.

* LawOfOneHundred: Students at Sehagaga graduate upon earning one hundred medals.

* {{Leitmotif}}: An instrumental version of ''[[VideoGame/SonicR Super Sonic Racing]]'' for Sonic the Hedgehog.

* MacrossMissileMassacre: Dr. Eggman tries one against Sonic. Of course, this being [[SuperSpeed Sonic]], he simply dodges the payload a la ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' and moves in to defeat Eggman's guns.

* MythologyGag: All of the Hard Girls have traits based on their hardware counterparts. Dreamcast is poor, [[VideoGame/SambaDeAmigo plays the maracas]] and connects to the internet (with a dial-up modem), Mega Drive falls into the unpopular bookworm archetype, based on how the system was perceived in Japan, and the world seems determined to bring Saturn down no matter how hard the poor girl tries.

* NoFairCheating: At the end of the ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter'' lesson, Dreamcast was awarded no medals since she knocked out an opponent before the round actually began.

* OverlyLongTitle: The name of their culture festival is called ''"Shine! The 54th! Shock to the Brain! No Spillage, But We'll Destroy the Barriers of Spillage-obsessed Youth! Sehagaga Academy Culture Festival!"''

* RunningGag: Dreamcast can never seem to land on her feet when traveling between worlds.

* TransformationSequence: Upon going into'' VideoGame/VirtuaFighter'', the Hard Girls get a flashy animation that transforms them into their full-size forms. This is later condensed into just showing their full-size forms at the end of the sequence in future episodes.

See the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series, which has a similar premise (various game consoles are shown as anthropomorphic persons). A separate character list for all of the Sega Hard Girls can be found [[Characters/SegaHardGirls here]].

* CoversAlwaysLie: See [[VideoGame/FantasyZone Opa-Opa]] and the [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Chao]] in the picture above? Although they're seen in the intro, they only appear as cosmetic decorations in Sehagaga Academy.

* Retraux: Some of the show's unique background music tracks are arranged to sound like they come from an 8-bit game.

The show centers on the various Sega consoles as anthropomorphized students as they go to a [=Sega=]-centric school called Sehagaga Academy, located in Haneda, Tokyo. The students consist of [[SegaDreamcast Dreamcast]], [[Main/MegaDrive Mega Drive]] and [[Main/SegaSaturn Sega Saturn]] as they work under the instruction of their teacher, Center-sensei, in order to earn enough credits to graduate from the academy.

** ComicTrio: They probably fit this a bit better. Dreamcast is the one who comes up with ideas such as putting Saturn in a swimsuit to raise ratings, Mega Drive while not an idiot never questions them and goes along with it, and Sega Saturn is the OnlySaneWoman. It's rare that they do any actual planning, but there's a lot of conversation to this effect.

** [[Series/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Eggman]] have a starring role in the ''VideoGame/BorderBreak'' lesson.

See the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series, which has an upcoming CrossOver between the two and a similar premise (various game consoles are shown as anthropomorphisized persons) and ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', where candy colored {{Expy}}s of the classic ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters go to a school ran by the original ''Looney Tunes'' cast.

* IntrepidFictioneer: Almost every episode has the Sega Hard Girls traveling into the worlds of Sega games. The characters from Sega games are also capable of traveling between worlds, like characters from Film/WreckItRalph. [[spoiler: Up until the part where they enter Sehagaga Academy.]]
