Re: Missed you guys

Woah, it works again! Weird how the one URL works and the other doesn't. Makes no sense, but that's the internet and computers for ya.

Re: How to delete an account

The post that occasioned this action has apparently disappeared, without notice. It was first answered, in an emollient but firm way, by Kirby, who is (or was) an admin, I believe. It was then locked by admin Joaz B simply on the grounds that he believed it transgressed the T&C.

Maybe it did ...

Re: Otake Hideo 9p retires from Pro

I am sure he will keep up with the game and participate in other ways.

Does anyone feel the character Kuwabara Sensei from Hikaru no Go (spelling?) was the inspired by this guy? Even his laugh and voice a very similar.

Re: Hikaru no Go 20th Anniversary

Well, they posted this video on the site. From what I can tell the message at the beginning says. "Is it my voice you can hear?" It may not be correct I used google translate to help with the kanji I dont know.

Re: Hikaru no Go 20th Anniversary

Yeah, I really hope there will be more to it than a special. I figure the biggest announcement (if there is one) will be on the day of the anniversary.

It's an anime that has nothing to do with Hikaru no Go unfortunately. I did find this information about it from MyAnimeList though.

After the ...

Re: Review of "Just Enough Japanese" 1 and 2 (Richard Hunter

I will look into this further. They seem like rather interesting books. As for learning Japanese, well, that's a never ending journey.

Also wait untill you get into ーます and -ません ending, it can quickly become quite confusing.

Re: Hikaru no Go 20th Anniversary

I was rewatching it when I made this post. One interesting snippet was the Korean players were discussing the devine move. One said it would be made on a computer and the other laughed and said that was a century away. Little did they realize it would be far sooner and a Korean pro that would lose ...

Re: Hikaru no Go 20th Anniversary

It was nice to see that they acknowledge it had a far wider impact in other counties other than Japan. I'm excited to see what they will announce.

Re: Hikaru no Go 20th Anniversary

Thanks for a non-AI post. 20 years for the anime! Whew, I remember buying the Japanese DVDs and following along with the English comics. Then buying the English dubbed DVDs. Then watching on Netflix.
I was hoping the manga publishers would likewise celebrate with a commemorative re-issue.

Heck ...

Hikaru no Go 20th Anniversary

So, studio Pierrot has launched a commemorative site to the beloved anime's 20th anniversary. The actual anniversary is Oct 10th and from what I can make out more things will be announced closer to that day. The first thing was a commemorative illustration that you can view on the main site. Hard to ...

Re: Tachi mori

That was a very interesting video, thanks for sharing. I find the 'making of' stuff fairly interesting and when its about a hobby your interested in its even more so.
