According to the July Issue of Shonen Jump, Hikaru No Go will be released in America on DVD in September. It's to be announced when it will be shown on TV or whatever station will show it on TV. I have no clue who's dubbing it ethier. .-. I shall look into though. \o

Ocean Group huh? Nice, I might take a look at this DVD to see if the anime is any good. I kinda lost interest in the manga a while back, but I'll admit that the drawing style IS very nice.

Well at least it didn't end up as 4shame TV under the name "Harry's black and white checkers" as I predicted.

I kind of ruled out the possibility of it being on a kid's station. It seems like a show that not many American kids would enjoy...*coughcausethey'reallidiotscough*

*sooooo glad she's already seen it @_@*

Okay, I can't say I'm too fond of many of those VA's. Oh well, maybe it will work out?

I wonder if any TV networks will pick it up. I wonder if it will get taken of three eps later XD

I have to say, I was pretty damn skeptical when I saw "A drama about Go." Yet it's so GOOD (yay to Izu for pimping this show in everyone XD)

Ah well, at least america took it. Maybe a blassing (maybe?)

What I want to know is, will it be English AND Japanese and not just English.

Anyway, I don't want to go too far off topic with this but I got my Go Board today! \o/ I'm going to teach my sister and my friends how to play. I hope they'll like it.

Sounds like it'll be bilingual, but it might be being released on DVD first, since the Naruto DVD isn't coming out until December. Also, the cast makes me happy X3

I'm glad that Brad Swaile gets to play a slightly more serious character like Sai, rather than make Hikaru into a carbon copy Lan. I was more expecting Akira and Hikaru to have the opposite choices of voice actor as compared to what they've gotten. I keep imagining Sam Vincent playing Akira due to his HUGE resemblance to Athrun from Gundam SEED, although Scott Perrie's proven himself to be pretty good on AXESS.
