Story: 8/10
A wimp turns into an ultimate fighter! Seen stories like this before? It's okay, because they anime does a good job at making the viewer enjoys themselves even if the story comes of corny for the hard critics. It doesn't start slow, it has a good pace throughout the episodes. It's a little hard to believe it's 50 episodes.


Art: 8/10
Pretty good. The animation fit the fun characters and story.


Sound: 9/10
Since this was on Netflix. I watched the English dubbed (since they didn't give me an option) the voice actors actually fit the characters so no complaints about that. The background music was different but still complimented the story in a weird way.


Character: 9/10
Extreme master teachers, a wimp who tries his hardest, a girl that can kick major butt, gotta love that!


Enjoyment: 10/10
I laughed, it was easy to follow and best of all it ended well.


Overall: 8.8/10


Would I recommend to someone else? Most definitely. I would recommend this to someone who enjoyed the shounen genre or someone who likes comedy and wouldn't take the anime too seriously.

My Two Cents on the Anime Series "Hikaru No Go"

Hikara No Go is a shounen anime that debuted in 2001 and ended in 2003.  It's about a 6th grader who finds
a spirit in a go board and their adventure in the game world together. It's enjoyable for all ages.

Story:
It's simple but works. I was lil sad at the end but I'm not going to spoil it for you.

Form of Development:
Keeps your attention. It's not slow, it skips blocks of time to keep the momentum of the story.

Side Stories:
It had one episode that didn't really flow with the main one.

Believable:
The logic fit the story. Nothing happened where it made it hard to beleive.

Conclusion:
The Conclusion was great still said  for me though.

What kept my interest is the excitement of the matches. It sounds corny but the anime did and excellent jump of making a game of go dramatic.

Art:
The art was great. I found it a lil weird that Sai had purple lips though,lol.

Sound:
I watched the Japanese Dubbed, English Subbed. I was happy to find no annoying shy voices as well. The dubbed voices were cool. The beginning and end songs were nothing special, they were typical anime pop. The background music played a big part and making this anime enjoyable. Although some of it came off corny for the most part the sound kept me glued to the television when a match was playing.

Character:
No annoying characters all the characters introduced played contributed to the story.

Enjoyment:
I very much enjoyed this anime! From the beginning to the end.

Overall:
I would give this the highest rating because it managed to keep my interest through the whole series. Towards the end I got a little sad but I still kept watching.

Cosplaylicious Rating: 10/10


Would I recommend to a friend? Yes, I would very much recommend this to a friend regardless of age. Don't have to be in to sports or the game of go to enjoy this anime.

Characters to Cosplay:
There wasn't any female characters who had cool outfits that would inspire me to cosplay. They had middle school uniforms for female characters but I'll pass. I would love to cosplay Sai though even though he's a male,lol. I would just make the cosplay a female version.
