It's a pity that the "un-animeified" part of the manga is (or at least is said to be) of a lower quality than the part that went to make the series. I guess that finding an interesting continuation to the story of Hikaru is a bit problematic.
On the other hand, HnG is one of the best series when it comes to interesting side characters. A lot of them could warrant an episode or two in their own right (and indeed, Izumi got thee episodes, if I remember correctly). The last episode contained brief flashes of their lifes, and that was one of the great kicks in the whole series, as I remember it Eh, time to stop ranting and raving perhaps. My point is that I'm clutching onto the hope of spin-off series (Kaga no Shogi, anyone? ) By the way, is there anywhere one might read up on the mangaka that drew HnG? In English preferrably, hehe. |

If anybody has definitive information on whether either of the fansub groups is going to be picking up the special, I would love to hear it.

Ooops, Isumi it is. I stand corrected But in any case, I am hoping for some kind of continuation of the series. Well, well, time will tell. |

I've seen this on mircx:
[YoumaOtakus]_Hikaru_no_Go_Special_[745B9593].avi but the torrent seems to have no seeds. It's the real thing or not? Edit here's the torrent page: http://www.spike-domain.net/koro/bt/ Here, the tracker shows 4 seeds. |

Edit: Just notices above post \o/ Anyway, while we're on the topic, is the by any decent group right now? And does it bring it to the END of the manga? I'm not sure what everyone is saying, so I'd just like a little clarification |

This 2004 special doesn't bring the anime to the end of the manga. Youma-Otakus has done a few other things before, although they don't put out very much, but from what I have seen of their work, they're decent.

Ahhhhh! My need is at least temporarily sated
Without spoiling the special, I'll say that you can look forward to some more of the photogenic Umezawa Yukari sensei (all dressed up for the occasion as well) and featuring Hikaru as a narrator voice for the first time ever. Also, expect some really unorthodox play in this episode. So far almost all games from both the anime and the manga have been identified as actial pro games, but I wonder about that one... At least we can be fairly sure of a continuation of the storyline, as it ends halfway through |

Well, people seem to be downloading happily from me at least
In any case, kudos to YoumaOtakus for subbing this special, and it will be interesting to see aones version when it comes out. HnG always has a massive re-watch value, so I'll be sure to get that one as well, hehe! |
