Yes, I'm aware 3 other threads have been made for this anime. But, I didn't want to grave-dig, y'know? I'd rather start a new and improved thread for Hikaru no Go fans, so they can discuss recent development in the series, rather than focusing on old news:thumb:.
So without further, I shall start the conversation with why I love this series so much.
There is something so addicting and appealing to this series. The characters, in my opinion, are wonderfully developed. The art is very realistic and fantastic (but then, what do you expect from the same artist of Death Note. lol) The story is just enthralling, and each chapter left me wondering "WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! I want to read more.":dance: I like the "coming-of-age" type storyline. I guess I kind of relate to those kinds of stories for some reason. The same goes for the anime. I actually watched the anime first before reading the manga. :3
Favorite characters:
Akira Toya: There is something about his driven personality that I just love. He's intelligent, practical, with a hint of obsession. XD! But, he also has his moments where he's actually kinda sweet/cute. Here is a prime example so you can get a feel for what I mean (http://www.onemanga.com/Hikaru_no_Go/71/01/) This picture really makes me squee. X3! And yet this same guy can be so intense such as in here (http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee59/Akiratoya03/hikaru%20no%20go/AkiraXD.jpg). Also, Akira is quite attractive (in my opinion) and is actually my very first favorite bishonen. X3! <= *fangirl moment*
Sai: So adorable, lovable, and glompable. X3! I don't care if he looks and acts a bit.....effeminate. I ADORE this character! I was so sad when [spoiler]he disappeared.[/spoiler]
Seriously, that scene in the anime hurt so much. And then [spoiler] when Hikaru started looking for him, but couldn't find him. Then decides to stop playing. But then, in comes Isumi to play a game against Hikaru and.....let's just say that was one of the most emotional turning points in this anime[/spoiler] Oh man!
Hikaru Shindo: Hey, even though he is a pain, he is still the main character. And, I actually grew to like him as the series progressed.
Even though he was so rude to Sai (and practically EVERYONE ELSE:bang:), he still became a bit nicer later. While maintaining his....bluntness and teasing sense of humor, he does mature as the series went on. I guess in a sense, I do relate to him a little bit...at least in the growing/maturing sense. Though, I do like ramen. lol:lol:
Alright, any other fans of this series? Go ahead and post away. Comment, rant, post links to video, pictures, fanart, fanfictions....go ahead. Fly my pretties. EEHeeeheeheeheehee!!!!
And he was not as aware of it at first until, the one part during when he was forced to play 2 or 3 simultaneous games of Go BLIND. And then that one girl confronted him, and she was pretty harsh, but still. I felt bad for Akira then. 
! I just didn't like it when [spoiler] he got mad at Hikaru for becomeing an insei and left the Go club for a bit (which of course I understand since Hikaru wouldn't be able to compete in the tournaments, which they were looking forward to. That was a bit ignorant of Hikaru.) But then he seems to stay mad even after Yuki decides to come back, and the two never appear to find resolve.
