Hikaru no Go Episode 30

Broken promise

I silently promised to myself there was no need for tears, I woudnt cry as the drama was less, well, somewhat less, intense than the anime and manga.Oh, how wrong I was.Especially towards the end. I dont know if you need to be a go-player, a Hikaru no go fan or what, to feel this kind of emotion. The bond between Shi Guang and Chu Ying is extraordinary in this episode more than ever.Shi Guangs egocentric yet brilliance is just beyond words and it reaches a pinacle the last 20 minutes and later in.Even though its from the series, the game itself played is (imo) so beautiful (for this you do need to be a Go player to see). I cant hold back the tears. The moment Chu Ying got his epiphany, it broke me into this pathetic bunch of tearful pieces.It is so hard to NOT love Hikaru no Go and even with the many differences and variations, I love how they managed to utterly capture the essense of the last match played and the emotions played.Just..more tissues.
