An EXCELLENT anime for anyone who even knows the most basic of basics about Go. You'll learn a lot jsut from watching. It's certainly pretty addicting in and of itself. A great anime in general, except maybe the music...sometimes it just kinda sounded like music that should be in a low budget porn film... But don't let that stop you from watching. Rent for non-go fans, but anyone who likes Go, this is a great anime. Last updated Sunday, November 27 2005. | ||||||||

I am almost done with it, to be honest after ep 60 it just not the same anymore, because (ok, I am not going to spoil it), but it is not as much fun as it used to be. This anime is very addictive, I mean it is something like a drug, once you get into it, you have to see more. The weird thing is, that although there is no action (I mean 2 guys sitting in front of the board putting stones does sound lame), but the drama, the faces, the music makes up for it and more, the characters are very well developed and very belivable, even Sai (who for some reason looks like a woman, btw) is really belivable. Ok, this is my first review and I can only say that you got to watch it, it is really engaging fun(up to ep. 60) and much better than most anime out there.

This series triggered off my interest in playing Go. It's a rather special series and the story was quite good although quite predictable. It's worth watching

I first started out reading the manga of Hikaru no Go and found it to be quite extraordinary(It's quite different from other stories), interesting, and the characters are quite cute. I thought that some of the characters are quite poorly drawn(maybe is meant to be that way) as I almost thought that Touya Akira(Hikaru's rival) and Sai(his 'mentor') were actually females.. But nevertheless, it did not change my opinion of this anime. After watching the series and reading the manga, I actually took an interest in Go... It is really a series worth watching. It don't matter if you do not know Go, you don't need to know. You can still enjoy it nevertheless.. But I felt that there are too many episodes.. quite draggy sometimes... At the 30th episode.. the storyline had only progressed until book 7... But still.. I conclude that it is a series worth buying and watching Last updated Saturday, January 11 2003. | ||||||||

I've watched about ..51 eps into the series so far. It is a good series, the characters are good, and I didn't really find it too childish compared to most of the other stuff out there. Though its definetly not as adult oriented as maybe serial experiments lain, or Boogiepop phantom. The overall theme is about the 'hand of god' , but it is also about someone trying to prove himself in a competition like manner, kinda like a japanese bobby fischer, I think the episodes had nice art, the soundtrack is good, the characters are good. So there is probably a reason why its the #3 tv show in tokyo Last updated Monday, October 21 2002. | ||||||||

For some reason, I just couldn't quite get into the story. Probably due to the fact that A) I don't play go and B) I don't care for sport related anime. Not to say this is a terrible series, it just held no appeal to me. The one thing that was interesting tho was the random go lessons injected into the episodes, I thought that was kinda cool. Watch the first 2 episodes. If you are amused watch the rest, if you find yourself dozing just let this one be.

Well, its an all right series, except the plot is pretty childish, and episodic. Personally, I thought the best thing about the series was the music, done by well-known Avex artists like Dream. "Get Over" - the first opening song is great. It's a pretty cute and childish series, as you can see by the character designs and simplicity of the show. And yah, it is fluff, not all that great, but watchable. While this series may be kind of low on actual plot, the characters are intriguing enough to keep you watching. And if you're anything like me, you'll probably start trying to play Go, maybe just once. Last updated Monday, July 01 2002. | ||||||||

Simple story: A boy knows nothing about "Go", get taught by a great teacher, became better and actually wants to be the best. Sounds too plain? Well, I don't know about "Go" myself, and after watching a few episodes I actually downloaded, learned and played Go games! Many reviews out there pointed out that this series were able to portray a life of a pro Go player with enough excitement for common people to watch and enjoy. For me, a story about a common boy with a 'secret weapon' to beat all pros is a good way to introduce the series, which then it became 'serious' when building its character. Recommended (=BUY)!
