Hikaru No Go-Ep. 8 (Part 2/3)

[xXdaylenXx]

thx for uploading all the videos

[Blazekickz]

he's an idiot, even i, who doesn't know much about this game saw that comming

[gexthegecko]

I love that laugh at 6:58!

"Heh hehhhh." XD

[kyukimika]

.......

[thhcool]

The way they play go in this anime is basic and wrong in many aspects. Way Touya opens the game against the idiot is totally amateur. Even though that idiot had placed his first move in Tengen Akira made the move a great move by making the game shape vs shape.(I don't know the exact japanes terms) Plus, Akira just tsuked the Tengen which is a totally bad move if the guy decides to stop mimic akira's. There are way better ways to stop that trick. Such as using diagonal kos.Checkout some pro rec.

[EasyGameFR]

@thhcool Is that so ? I wonder why the guys who make the manga/anime just don't copy a pro game so it looks more credible

[cabch9878]

i really don't know alot about go ... but that freshman kid was such an idiot!!!!

[hentaikiller]

BAKHA BAKHA

[hentaikiller]

@No1AldamonFanGirl whats your favorite anime, besides this one?

[Christofaaah]

I think Akira has Aspergers.

[MmentoMori]

@Christofaaah You probably would think half of Japanese HS students have Asperger's. They're really craft-oriented people from the little exp. I got from em.

[tycurses]

i wish i could play go half as good as any of them

[anoza21]

Lol he just made a horrible form on damezumari

[Zolg08]

I'm a go beginner and I can't believe that poor kid did that stupid move

[lilwu21]

先手變後手，不輸才怪。

[genobahamut1337]

"If that's the way you want to play it." Haha. I just love how funny that game was, lol.

[MsTalofa]

the mirror move!XD

[No1AldamonFanGirl]

I remember when I first saw an episode of Hikaru no Go. It was long before I discovered the pleasures of YouTube, when I watched anime on Toonami and Toonami Jetstream... It appeared on Toonami Jetstream, but soon after I started watching, my computer broke. By the time I got a new one, I was engrossed in Harry Potter and took a break from anime. I only remembered 3 days ago, and I've been watching nearly non-stop since. This is my second round.

[kittikatz777]

did that poor kid really just do that? it's not that hard to see that you're boxing yourself in...and he only realized it when there was like 1 move left.

[Tergiga]

You have to account that the target audience many not have played Go (like me) before. Therefore it may be to show us "noobs" that he was clearly dominating. ^_^ Because quite frankly, it's quite difficult for me to see what a good position is.

[BusoRockin1000]

he deserved that burn

[June28July]

1:14-Wow, telling from the way the guy was walking away in defeat, I was expecting to hear a gunshot after he closed the door! This Go game is serious business! 0_0

[nitfitnit]

I tried this against a computer and it "worked" for the whole game....but I still lost because of the komi

[Ch0coDK]

What an idiot kid. I don't know Go very well but I could see that he was going to capture his stones in the middle right when that whole scene began. He was in Atari and he didn't even try to defend himself idiot.

[Neroburningyou]

@Ch0coDK ur mom tried to get rid of you in a trash can so stfu

[kiminokami]

Once you are that far into an ideology, it is very hard to change strategy even in the face of obvious flaws.

[Gulam0]

Riule 1: Do not enter a strange person's car after school.

[megaman13689]

Man, I love the play Touya does on the Tengen, I would've been screwed in that situation:D

Anyone know what's a good way to start learning the game?

[mieru1712]

...uh, try searching "igowin" program on google. That does help.

[pnagorny]

There are a few manuals online for beginners which explain the basics. I've liked "Learn to Go" by Kim and Soo-hyun, but there are a lot of websites (through Google). After learning them you can start playing with other beginners, since there are only a few basic rules on how to open game and what moves to avoid as much as possible (e.g., avoid ladders and so on).

[pnagorny]

And, depending on how far you want to go, you can either practice further just by playing against other people (which could improve your level, but not much) or add studying books about strategies and openings and solving problems on go to playing go with people.

Audition

[blahblahcargreyblah]

I like the freshman guy!

[DarkSakuraVII]

HOW COULD YOU?! I didn't like him that much, his gaze is annoying.

[alecesne]

so at 0:44 in the clip it shows the Game board. It doesn't look like a lost cause to me. Can someone with a better eye for Go explain why its a complete loss so early?

[NERYSANCHO]

they don`t finish the game....

[Wraith10]

it might not be a lost cause but Touya has control of the board(side territories mostly) as well as some progress in the center. I'd say Aoki focused a little to much on defense instead of territory expansion early on. Touya did an incredible job of breaking up Aoki's territories in the lower left as well as threatening the upper right side.

[DarkSakuraVII]

I dunno...but when I look at the board, the black stones always kept the white stones under control. it's like Akira manipulated all of the white stones and no matter where Aoki put the white stones it's either useless or it's endangered.

[animerox369]

Thanks sooooooo much for uploading!!!!!

I Love this anime!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

P.S. If you think I'm overreaccting, I'm sorry!

[666wolfgirl]

NOO Aoki!!Did Akira at least go easy on him?eh heh heh i can't help but call them by their first name.Also the Kaiou Go club is soo unsupportive!!!

[hahacheesecake]

Hikaru no go = awesome all the way!!

Thanks for the uploads. you were the first person i looked for for the episodes =P

[iluvdogs723]

Thanks so much for uploading!

[limlynn999]

Stupid...Touya is better

[sniperstar]

That freshman was pretty smart but not smart enough to bad

[finches47]

yeah he almost had touya but he was to good

[ShonenAnimeJunkie]

I've seen the same thing done in chess. It's pretty simple to beat once you know what you're doing.

[animerox369]

Hehehe... That's funny. I do that thing that the freshman did when I play Igo with my cousin. she knows my strategy now...

[DarkSakuraVII]

That is a pretty good strategy when your opponent doesn't know you're reflecting all his moves. But this freshman guy started copying Akira's moves the instant he played with him -- how stupid can a guy get?! Plus Akira is slowly surrounding his mves and he didn't even NOTICE. HOW COULD HE?! He just copies, copies, copy. He can't even defend himself!!!!!!!

[drakdag82]
