someone told me i should watch it. it is now my second favorite anime.
If your thinking "I'm not watching it, because I dont know anything about GO."
I watched all 75 eps and i STILL dont understand it! But the show is amazing
Its a supernatual (in the way that Sai was in Hikaru's cosence) and other than that, its a drama/comedy. I recommend it!

Is it kind of like YU-Yu-Hakusho? you know where they mix spirt and reality, or is it more of like the conscience is making side comments? And what do you mean by it's hard to understand?
on a scale of one to ten where 10 makes it BoBo-Bo-BoBoBo-Bo and one makes it like a VCR manual which kind of hardness?

the ending refers to sai coming into your subconcines and hikaru realizes the concept of the divine move
then if you were paying attention you relize it to

It doesn't take that long to learn the basics of Go well enough to play and while it's not necessary, It did increase my enjoyment of the anime.

The manga was really something. You don't have to watch the anime to appreciate the story of Go and the process in attaining the Hand of God. I remembering downloading the first 2 volumes and after that all brakes were loose, and I couldn't fall asleep for the rest of the night as I addictedly clicked page after page, just 1 more...
The rivalry between the people playing Go, as hard it is to believe, is 100 times more fascinating than the rivalry between our 2 favourite heroes, Naruto and Sasuke.

How can watching a guy play a board game be that interesting?

Hah, I thought that some thing. The people
here also thought that. But for some reason, it was one of the best animes I have ever seen. If you dont believe me, it wouldnt kill you to go to anime-eden.com and download the first episode or two. Give it a chance, I was definitely apprehensive at first, and had no idea what the hell Go was, except that it was a Japanese board game.
How much different is the manga ending than the anime ending? Because I saw the one in the anime, and though it ended a little early. I mean, I understand why they ended it where they did, but he definitely had a long journey from then on.
If you want to play go on a good server, go here (http://www.gokgs.com/). I played here for a while, and it is a great place to go. Lots of good players, so be prepared to lose a lot, until you get better. If you are like 12 or 13 years old, dont expect to win a game for quite a while, unless you find someone new also.
I played for a while (until college became a ton of work), and probably rank around a 17 or 18 kyu. I dont really understand the ranking system that much, but this is probably where I would play evenly with the other guys.

Well, I just found links for some eps, so I'll check it out and see. It sounds ok, but I guess I'll know soon. Thanks for the review.

Its definitely an excellent series. If not for the Go, the character development is great. Its also very interesting to watch Hikaru with his struggle.
And for those of you asking how hard it is to understand. The anime is easy to understand, the subtitles are very informative and tel you all about the world of Go. understanding Go on the other hand is very difficult (easy to learn basic concept), and takes years to get good at. Im about a 16 or 17 kyu rating when I played, and it still felt overwhelming the amount of thought needed to play. To be able to logically follow the ideas in the anime is impossible for someone who doesnt know Go. Although watching in the beginning where no one s pro yet, you can still see moves that people made that were obviously terrible life and death decisions.

i agree, hikaru no go is amazing, and it's so intense and interesting too, though i wish they kept going though I know they have an OVA after the series, and that's about it, but other than that, the series is awesome!

Yeah, the manga didn't go far past the tournament either, though I read that there was to be a short saga of HNG 'this' summer. Though I don't know to what date 'this' referrs to. Hopefully after they get more material they'll make another OVA.

haven't watched the anime of it, only the manga, and the ending was horrible, too many plot-shortcomings for my taste,
I'd give it a 7/10 that's how much the ending ruined it.
