Hikaru No Go Review

Hikaru no Go is an animation to the manga series authored by  Yumi Hotta, the animation is all about a boy named Hikaru and the game Go ( Encircling Game ). Hikaru stumbles across an old board game owned by his Grandfather. Hikaru later known that the Go board is haunted by a Go player's spirit named Sai. Sai is a ghost from the Heian era who haunts the board because he wasn't able to achieve his greatest desire as a Go player, and that is to attain the Divine Move or the Perfect Move. At the start of series, Hikaru is not really into playing go until Sai asked him to try it out. Now Hikaru plays along side Sai who gives him instruction on the moves that he will use. As the story progresses, Hikaru is constantly learning how to play by himself. This anime Revolves around the life and matches of Hikaru Together with Sai to attain their Greatest Desire.



This anime is one of those rare types of anime where the main characters are not basing on strength or power. this animation proves that there are more than physical strength and those are tactics and power of the mind. this series could pass as a shonen / battle manga in a different perspective. The story is really helpful in promoting the game called Go. even if I don't really understand what the game is all about, or how the game is played. i always enjoy every time they are in a tournament of Go. This anime doesn't have much of an impact to make viewers watch it since the first episode is not that strong. but as i watch more of the episodes, i started to follow and appreciate what this anime brings. The characters and plot are really something. even though most of the time the spotlight always shine on hikaru and Sai and the other main characters, they still have manage to make the other characters grow in their own way. This is an anime to watch for those who wanted more mind games and board games. The only Flaw i can see in this anime is that there are times when the story seems to be unrelated to the previous episode and that tends to confuse others.

I'll rate this anime 8/10

Review on Kuragehime

This anime is a 12-episode anime produced by FUNimation Entertainment, Brains Base, Asmik Ace Entertainment. Kuragehime's storyline revolves around the daily life of Kurashita Tsukimi, a girl who loves jellyfish, living together with her geek friends at Amamizukan apartment complex wherein no boys are allowed. This anime's characters are kind who show their beauty not with their good looks but with what they really are, and how they love the way they look and become true to what they really love. The story lines are pretty cool for this anime going out in different directions and a t once point keep intersecting with one another. Kuragehime's characters are rather unique from the typical anime style drawing that we are used to some example are the afro-styled girl in the apartment. Kuragehime's characters, and the awesome storym and the simple but pretty art and the enticing music come together and create an anime that stands out among others of its kind. ...

But can Brandon Heat point same gun at the person he once was his bestfriend? This anime is a 26 episode anime with crimes, sci-fi,actions and drama. Well to tell the you the truth just for me the first episode is kinda boring but don't be fooled by it because the other sequence will leave you hanging so catch up on our main character as he venture and deal with his amity. Though there are times where in the pacing of anime is slow and dead silence takes over we were pleased by the progsession of the story line and how you will be able to get to know each character and their r...
