Although quite different in nature, active sports against strategic table game, but the anime is very similar in intensity, and its ability to capture one's interest. It starts out differently, a boy beginning from scratch in playing Go, with direction and support of divine nature. But as the story goes on, the character is discovering his own talents trying both to beat his main opponent, his teacher, and discover his own strengths. Very similar to the Prince of Tennis in a way the games are set up. Matches remind us of duels and the opponents striving for their win, coming up with their techniques, new moves and ways to surprise and beat each other. It's a great anime, not quite as long, but not a second of it I found wasted when I was watching.
