A complete novice in a game rises to be one of the top players in both shows. The major difference is that in Angelic Layer, it's mostly her innate talent that allows her to succeed. In Hikaru no Go, you get a much better sense of how much hard work matters in the game, and how difficult it is. There's a lot more suspense in Hikaru no Go, too- in Angelic Layer the outcome of the game is easily predictable before it starts.
Main characters are about the same age, both have or get some emotional scarring they need to overcome, both are trying to become good at something new, in effect rising to their challenge. Neither anime neglects the cast of supporting characters, always a good thing.

A cute, dramatical shojou-ai for all! All about the little guy (or in this case, girl), trying to reach the top.

May 21, 200826 of 26 episodes seen 4 of 15 people found this review helpful I saw this anime recently, and I must say the story was alright, but It's kind of boring if the main character always wins, and you know who will win as soon as fight starts. I'm not going to bother writing what this anime is about since you can read that in the summary at the top of this page.
The art was alright, CLAMP is well-known, and has "ok" art in my opinion, its not the best out there, but not bad. Also, this show is NOT widescreen, so that kind of disappoin...ted me a little, but that doesn't really have much to do with art.
The sound was bad. To back that up, try listening to Misaki-chan's (japanese) voice for 26 episodes. Trust me, you will get annoyed VERY soon, but even with that, the show is watchable, and has nice background music and sound effects during fights, really gets you in the mood.
Characters are alright, a bit too average and expected, but passable. Like the main character, Misaki-chan is kind of WEIRD because she's too nice to everyone and makes weird sex-like noises randomly throughout the show whenever she's surprised or something, kind of confusing.
Enjoyment... what's that supposed to mean? I watched the show because I was bored, but I guess it kind of made me curious about what kind of Angels will show up in the next fight, so I was, in a way, looking forward to the next episode, plus the added romance between characters gave the plot some twists and turns, good pairing, so hopefully you won't be disappointed in that aspect.
I generally recommend this show for someone to watch on a side to other shows and probably not give it as much priority, but in the end it's up to you.
