Summary: |
Hikaru No Go is a coming of age story based on the manga of the same title which is in turn based on on the board game Go. The same basic storyline is followed by the manga and anime, with a few small changes between the versions. While exploring his grandfather's shed, Hikaru stumbles across a Go board haunted by the spirit of Fujiwara-no-Sai, a fictional Go player from the Heian era. Sai wishes to play Go again, having not been able to since the late Edo period, when his ghost appeared to Honinbō Shūsaku, an actual Go player of that period. Sai's greatest desire is to attain the Kami-no-Itte – "Divine Move", or the "Hand of God" – a perfect game. Because Hikaru is apparently the only person who can perceive him, Sai inhabits a part of Hikaru's mind as a separate personality, coexisting, although not always comfortably, with the child. |

before this anime, i only came across "Go" when i watched chinese ancient dynasty drama where the game was played by the characters. this anime really expose me to the game of "Go", how it is play, the basic rule, etc. the plot is terrific, cast memorable, and the songs and music are great as well. i learnt that many japanese kids were inspired to learn "Go" after watching this anime, me included. i hope that my country would telecast this anime too.
lastly, sai...you are now one of my favourite anime characters. ^^
