Hikaru no Go 20th Anniversary

[Ember]

Aaaaand the next pop-up shop has been announced today, open from 30 October. There'll be new merch with new drawings (did anybody else have a hard time to recognise Isumi...? The clothes just don't suit him that well IMHO ^^; ). Looks like they expect many people to show up as the tickets for the entry to the shop will be available through a lottery. The details can be found here: https://www.medicos-e.net/newsdetail/hikarunogo/
I can't say the merch is REALLY that appealing to me, maybe the tote bag and the shirts, but that's about it for me. Lucky me, since I can't get my hands on any of the stuff anyway.

So far, nothing special... However, I definitely expect something big in 5 day's time, now that they keep watering our mouths. If it's only pop-up shops in Japan, I'll be extremely disappointed - and that's something to say, I'd already be REALLY happy if the anime would be available on Netflix here in Germany... or any big streaming service in Europe.

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.

"Can you hear my voice?" (which was one of the first things Sai said to Hikaru)

Then later in the video "Sai was here to connect a distant past to a distant future"

The disappointment is real...

The disappointment is real...

Yeah, was just thinking the same thing . . .

I asked a friend in Japan. She found the same information, so

If, by any chance, something arises, she will tell me. And then I will tell you.

Sorry about resurrecting this dead thread. I stumbled across some yootoobers who have compiled "best scenes" from HnG into collected playlists. Got me all nostalgic and I started looking back through the online HnG discourse. Then I dug out my dusty manga collection to re-read HnG yet again.

For what it's worth, they finally decided to publish it in Spanish. First volume in autumn, for a local manga event. Second in February, and it should be monthly from there on.

Take care.
