Ah, the insei arc :) God, it really sucks though ... I want Hikaru to stay in the club and beat Kaiou so much T_T Rules are such horrible things sometimes T_T Yuki don't be mad at Hikaru D:
Woot! Kaga appears next episode! I really love that guy for some reason XD Even though his hair is a really weird colour ... same with Yuki too actually ... lol XD

Damn, between his friends and Akira.. tough choice. Whichever he chooses, I will be hoping for the best for him and everyone else!

If he wants to catch up to Akira he will have to quit the club but that will only happen if he passes the test.

Damn, nice episode, Hikaru finally stepping up to participate in the pro examination to chase after Akira.

Wonder if he'll let Sai play or not.

hikaru really only running toward akira alone, he haven't give a lot of though about insei status.
i actually like the insei arc, only because it's building up the big arcs after that.

This choice is very cruel. Maybe they were wrong, and Hikaru will be able to participate in the tournament? Besides, Toya was an insei and took part in the tournament!
I wonder what Hikaru will choose...

Hikaru doesn't realize how hard it's to become pro, Go is gonna take many things away from his youth.

Wait, Akira was also an Insenki when he played in tournament, so it's not against rules.

no he didn't, except that he delayed the whole pro part to after "chasing sai" part, he didn't even had to become insei, he was strong enough.

it took enough of his youth already lol
basically it's happening in every growing-up sport like anime, watch major, bakuman (which is by the same artist of hikaru no go), hajime no ippo, and more.

What an amazing episode, loving this series and I have no favourites this might change that wow.
I am a COMPLETIONIST. Aiming to finish AS MANY ANIME as possible before DEATH, Despite them being SATISFACTORY or if they are BORING.

I WATCH THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES ON MAL (OR you can CALL THEM The WORST animes in the WORLD - No Joke Like Seriously)

No anime has actually satisfied my anime taste, That I can call a MasterPiece (10/10), still searching... hopefully one day I will find that show and obsess over it till I die.
RULE NO.4 I MUST WATCH ALL CONTENT FOR THE SERIES I HAVE FINISHED, NOW THIS ONE IS QUITE EXHILARATING.
