Well, I already posted about HnG from my anime blog, I have same thoughts so I would just copy/paste it instead.. of course there would some additionals, ^_^;
Hikaru no go, is one of my favorite classic anime, to the point that when I watched this series for the first time it encourage me to fight my problems and to pursue on my dreams...
I kept saying that, "I can do this" and then I'll think about Hikaru. When, this is not really about me, right? But hey, I really love this series, up to till now, I acknowledge the author of this series because it gave me hope and desire to pursue. Though, it doesn't work on me today... I guess I should find another series that could "encourage" me. Yes, I'm definitely in SLUMP situation today... for sure it will last long too.
Anyway, without further adieu, I would like to introduce you, Hikaru no go, this anime is about a boy, Hikaru Shindou, at first he's just the so-called ordinary guy, doesn't love to play Go boards until he met Sai, who is a spirit trapped in the go board that Hikaru found in his grandpa's basement. Sai came from Heain period, who was a prestigious and veteran in playing GO. But because of some circumstances he experienced, after being defeated and accused as a cheater he ends his life by drowning himself into the lake.
He was not able to rest because he hadn't fulfill his goal in life, he's soul was trapped into the go board until he met Hikaru. At first he forced Hikaru to play GO for his sake, but little by little, Hikaru was curious and astounded by Sai. He then, went to GO salons just to learn how to play go, obviously, Sai helps him too.
After that, Hikaru joins the PRO exams, which Hikaru wants in order to catch up on his "mitomeru" rival, Akira.
Well, I don't want to spoil you guys, so if you haven't seen this anime, I'd prefer or rather, I'd recommend you to watch and buy its original DVD. It will be worth it, even if it will cost you a lot, the series are worth watching for. So grab and take a sit. I'll rank Hikaru no Go, 10/10.
