ANIME & OVA
  

 

HikaGO anime is currently listed in my best-anime of year 2002. It has the quality in graphics and storyarc. HikaGO anime is made by Studio Pierrot (Gensoumaden Saiyuuki, Ayashi no Ceres, Tokimeki Memorial, CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan), and directed by Nishizawa Susumu, meanwhile the chara design is entrusted to Motohashi Hideyuki (Fushigi Yuugi, God Mars).

It's first aired in Japan on October 10, 2001 by Tokyo TV, every Wednesday at 07.27 p.m. and still running till the day I wrote this. As you can learn GO from the manga, in the end of every anime episode you can also learn a bit about GO instructed by Umezawa Yukari 3-Dan in "Go, Go, Igo!".

The anime also has lots of cool themes such as

  • Get Over by dream (1st OP)
  • Bokura no Bouken by Kids Alive (1st ED)
  • Hitomi no Chikara by Misuki Arisa (2nd ED)
  • I'll be the One by HAL (2nd OP)
  • Sincerely ~ever dream~ by dream (3rd ED)
  • Fantasy by Nana Katase (3rd OP)
  • Days by Shela (4th ED)

Saigo ni, HikaGO has the OVA. There are 3 episodes in this OVA :

  • Dai Ichi Kyoku: Eien no Rival
  • Dai ni Kyoku: Minukareta Kyusyo
  • Dai San Kyoku: Kiba wo Muku Akira
So what are you waiting for again?! Turn on your TV!
