By accessing the sites below, you might be breaching copyright, an offence which under different jurisdictions carries different penalties, a fact which you should be aware of. The issue of copyright on the Internet is a complex one.

Depending on circumstances (with our host) we may have to remove this page.

Note: As far as fansubbing goes, I am not sure if it is legally copyright infringement or not, but if it is, while no company holds a licence for an English translation, people will look the other way. Fansubbers are really good about ceasing to distribute after someone licenses an English translation, and because anime is a fairly niche market, these fansubtitled releases help distibution companies get a good feel as to which series would sell were they to buy the rights to an English translation, and it helps the companies who sell the rights because it encourages companies to buy the license. If Hikaru No Go becomes licenced, this page should be taken down. --BlueWyvern


As of 2003-02-22, the following episodes are available:

 Language Subbers Episodes
 English  E-F     1-12
 English  E-F     New Year Special
 English  E-F     13-39
 English  R-F     40-64
 German   GFTP    1
 German   GFTP    47-64
 French   FSA     1-15
 Spanish  GF      1

E-F is Elite-Fansubs, R-F ist Real-Fansubbers (they parted from E-F).

New Year Special is a clip show. To recap the entire first half-season for those who entered late. This is fairly common practice in anime (restating lavalyn).

[ext] http://www.envirosphere.com/ lists the English episodes and seems to be up-to-date. [ext] http://www.animenfo.com/ lists english and other language episodes and is up-to-date, too.


HNG anime can be accessed by the following methods. It is not possible to offer it directly from SL.

FTP

All episodes in diffrent languages can be downloaded from [ext] ftp://ftp.hikago.flirble.org and [ext] ftp://hikago.easynet.de.

BitTorrent

You can use BitTorrent to download latest HikaruNoGo episodes. BitTorrent is a peer2peer system that is only up for one file. You have to install a program that is like a p2p application but for only a couple of files, and then click on the link. Everyone downloading is also sharing so you can get the file quickly.

More info about BitTorrent and HikaruNoGo download at [ext] http://a.scarywater.net/hng/.

IRC

You can find all of the Hikaru No Go anime using IRC, server irc.enterthegame.com, channel [ext] #elite-fansubs or [ext] #soldats or #R-F (Real-Fansubbers they parted from elite-fansubs). You might have to be patient to download those episodes.

If you want fast downloads try the XDCC servers. Most of the time there are available queue slots or even send slots:

 /server irc.enterthegame.com
 /join #R-F
 /msg RF|Waya-EU xdcc get #3
 /msg RF|Waya-EU xdcc get #4

A popular IRC client for Windows is [ext] mIRC.

--whip: I found the [ext] http://www.newircusers.com/ site to be quite helpful when I was getting started with IRC. It has detailed instructions for setting up mIRC as well.

News

You can find them also on alt.binaries.anime or alt.binaries.multimedia.anime and alt.binaries.multimedia.anime.repost on usenet (newsgroups) if you have acces to alt.binaries.* on your news server (new released episodes are posted there, and sometimes some reposts of old released ones)

WinMx

Tim Brent: Also, for those who are into Napster-type file sharing, at least 14 videos are on WinMx at various times. Be warned, they are about 175 MB apiece, though due to disc considerations I have yet to download them. To get WinMx, download at [ext] http://www.winmx.com/.

Jan: Yeah, WinMX worked like a charm for me. I got Episodes 1 to 14, one or two at a time (due to hard disk space), burned them on CD, and watched them on my housemate's computer - who is also turning into a Hikaru no Go Junkie and a Go player as well :-). I even downloaded the untranslated episode number 15, but I haven't watched it yet...

Kazaa

It is also possible to use kazaalite [ext] http://www.kazaalite.tk to get the videos. It is the same as kazaa but without all the ads and crap.

anon: I was able to get episodes 1 - 40 (except for 8 and 15) in less than a week. (at the time up to 42 had been subbed). A good thing about it is every video you get you are now sharing, making it easier for everyone else to get videos. Also new to kazaa(lite) 2.0 you now have a participation level which effects your queue so only people who share and upload to others will be able to get files. Since I have upgraded I have checked numerous times and everyone uploading from me was sharing over 100 files. Before it seemed that about 80% of uploaders were not sharing anything. I am currently sharing 1 - 48 and have kazaalite open most of the time.

CD and DVD

Matt Noonan: Is it possible to burn them on to a few CDs and mail them out? I've got a CD burner here so I could help make more, but I've only got episode 1..

Flowers of Disgust: Dude, Matt, yo. How can we help with this project?

halfling?: Of course, everybody could also buy the dvd... It's at [ext] http://www.discountanimedvd.com/.

StormCrow: Of course then you'd be buying a bootleg DVD as well (a hint, region 0 DVDs with english and chinese subtitles are almost always bootlegs). (in fact, discountanimedvd seems to be selling nothing but bootleg imports)
