Longtime EJ contributor Janice Kim recently sent along this screenshot "from my favorite anime, Hunter x Hunter. In this longer scene, the King of the Chimera Ants learns Go from books, and takes on the national champion, winning after playing just ten games. His advisors had mentioned to him that Go is quite more difficult than chess or shoji (not agreeing, just reporting there :) and so he wanted a challenge while he's waiting to take over the world.
"This is from episode 102, fourth season I believe. The first three seasons are on Netflix, but you have to go on crunchyroll to see episodes from there.
The first episodes are a little slow, but there is a lot in there about training, that I'm perhaps somewhat hilariously extrapolating to Go, with I think good results."
