Arcade Gamer Fubuki  The series is set in 1984 and stars Fubuki Sakuragasaki, a gamer whose "passion panties" give her special gaming powers. She has a winged magical girl form, and she has a sword while in this form. The series has homages to "Pac-Man", "Virtua Fighter", and other games like Sonic and Klonoa. Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy, authors of "The Anime Encyclopedia, Revised & Expanded Edition: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917", stated that the series began as a gag anime but became "a preachy family fable too long-winded to sustain its jokes". Clements and McCarthy wrote that the series "inherits the mantle of "Game Center Arashi"".
