I wonder what you'd make of the story if you arrived at this point without having seen the rest of the series before - pretty lost I imagine.
I much prefer the manga at this point. I think the art is great. Scenes that are so simple (and similar to ones we've seen so many times before: Hikaru at the goban, a hand going into the goke etc.) are beautifully done.
The music on the anime in these later, slower scenes sometimes cracks me up - its so OTT: close up of the board, cue big guitars!
