Hikaru No Go Hokuto Cup?

Post by zaqxswcde »

I've recently been rewatching the HNG anime, and noticed that I couldn't find the actual Hokuto cup videos anywhere. I have seen the preliminaries immediately preceding the cup, but not the tournament itself. It's been a few years since I watched HNG, so my memory may be wrong, and the Hokuto cup may be only available in manga. Can anyone confirm?

It's only in the manga. The anime doesn't show it.

In 2018, it will be the 20th anniversary of the beginning of the serialization of Hikaru no Go.
With all the trend around go worldwide, as of Alphago and Professional Systems in US & EU, wouldn't it be a perfect opportunity for Shueisha/Studio Pierrot to make another movie to cover up the Hokuto Cup final, both as an advertisement for the show and for the go community ?
Did someone get some hear say about a potential anime closure coming up ?
Thanks

They could just advertise this super-cool live action version!
