Anime characters that play videogames

[Scintilla]

Ritsuka and Yuiko can be seen playing games at Yuiko's (?) place in the beginning of episode 12 of Loveless, and Ritsuka gets involved in what appears to be an MMORPG for the PC later in the episode.

Sousuke Sagara is playing Tetris in episode 9 of Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu!

A couple characters in Tenchi Universe play video games. Especially Sasami and that one guardian of hers. (I can't remember his name.) I think Ryoko and Ayeka also did as well at one point or another, though I could be completely off on that.

And if you're really desperate for footage, There's also a clip or two from Outlaw Star where Aisha was playing a handheld game.

In Hare+Guu, Hare plays video games at home in some of the episodes.

Spoiler :

In one of the later episodes after Hare and his mom go back to her city home, I think Guu lets him sort of play in her head as a mecha, dunno if that counts or even makes sense, you have to see the episode. I think it's on the last dvd released)

Sota was playing some tekken rip off in the early episodes of Inuyasha.

And wasn't Ryoko playing at an arcade she smashed on Tenchi In Tokyo while on a date with Tenchi.

And there was an Episode of Gokusen where some Shinji like character was about to steal some video game for some assholes playing some console.

Also(since noone mentioned it) the .Hack series!

There was a video game called "Fire Starter" in FLCL episode 2.

And there was an Episode of Gokusen where some Shinji like character was about to steal some video game for some assholes playing some console.

That was like...nothing. I think buying and playing aren't the same things, they never actually PLAYED in that episode though.

There's a bunch of scenes in Ai Yori Aoshi where characters play console games (Fighting Son in Law, FTW!).
