| 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. |

I just love the way it can make something turn from normal and not interesting into something amazing and addictive! I enjoyed Hikary no Go the first time I watched it a long time ago, but each time I get the feeling I need to watch it once more and never get tired of it! You really feel like you are evolving along Hikaru and it gets even more awesome when you realize after a few episodes that you can understand Go and you enjoy it as much as Hikaru does. It's an ordinary story, with extra-ordinary characters that make this anime an surprisingly enjoyable anime!
