If you liked
Hikaru no Go

...then you might like
Ping Pong the Animation
|
Both are character-based shows featuring multiple characters striving to succeed in their fields, showing the highs and lows of real competition. If you thought Ping Pong was too short and find yourself enjoying Hikaru no Go after the first few episodes you're in for a real treat; it's over 100 episodes long. Don't let that number of episodes intimidate you though, there are very few dud episodes. The main characters all progress in their own way just like in Ping Pong, and also shows bits and pieces of their lives outside of the world of their chosen pursuits. It's dissimilar in only a few ways- Hikaru no Go rarely gets as deep in themes as Ping Pong, and there's a supernatural element that drives the plot for the beginning of the story.
