Lily Baker grew up in England, and despite watching anime her whole life, she fails to pick up the language after moving to Japan. This makes it incredibly hard for her to make friends. One day, she shows up at an arcade where she tries to win a koala stuffed animal from a claw machine. After she repeatedly fails, Renji Kusakabe wins the koala for her and tells her it's a Valentine's Day present. However, because of his poor English and their cultural differences, Lily believes that Renji has confessed his undying love for her. To help them understand one another, they start an exchange journal, which helps Lily learn Japanese while Renji learns English. Watch as Lily, Renji, and others grow closer through their shared love of gaming.
Cultural Exchange with a Game Centre Girl was really cool. It was hard to get started because of the constant switching between English and Japanese, but after a couple of episodes, I started to really enjoy it. It's fun to see Lily adapt to Japanese life as she works to make friends and improve her relationship with Renji. The majority of the anime is clean. There is a swear word here and there, as well as a hot spring scene and a beach episode. I also loved the references to Dropkick on My Devil! and Jujutsu Kaisen. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.
