That Hikaru no Go made secret #1 on a post delights me more than such a thing should delight anyone. But it does.

[i-thessaly.livejournal.com]

Same here. I may have even given a high-pitched squeal of delight.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

OH BOYS. *hearts*

[stepstostars.livejournal.com]

You are definitely not alone there. Hikago just has such a ridiculous place in my heart. <3

What series is this?

[chaosmyth.livejournal.com]

Hikaru no Go, and it's all kinds of flawless and amazing

[diorama23.livejournal.com]

It's a wonderful series. It's one of those stories where you read the summary and you go 'nah,I'll give it a miss' because it's all about competitive Igo, a board game in Japan that seems far more complex than Chess. But I started reading it and loved it to pieces, not only the characters and their journey but I really found the game fascinating.

Honestly, I don't think many people have such burning passions like the people in this series do...but hey, you love HikaGo, so you have great taste.

[relmneiko.livejournal.com]

Oh man, do I know you, OP?

You have to generate interest internally, anon. You won't just suddenly be passionate about something. Just pick something you kinda like, give yourself a goal about it - like idk, say learning French, and your goal is to finish a self-study book in 6 months. Commit to it, work on it every day. With the commitment and hard work and accomplishment you become passionate about it, especially if you can make friends who are also into it. Join a club or sth. Hikaru didn't really give a fuck about Go at first - he was doing it for Sai. But he got into it with time.

Passion won't come to you! You have to CHASE IT!!!

[delfeus.livejournal.com]

I love it to pieces, too. The anime is my favourite entertainment when I'm sick because it always makes me feel better and I've seen it enough times that I can keep up even when fuzzy-brained.

As for the passion, well... it doesn't really affect me that deeply, I guess, at least in a negative way. Sai died and came back as a ghost because of go; that's not really how far I want to go for a passion.

[(Anonymous)]

That's interesting, because I am the opposite way. I love to read that series when I am feeling really low, because it gives me that push to get out of those feelings and strive for something again.

It's sad that the rest of Takeshi Obata's mangas are so gross towards women, at least this one just kind of ignores women altogether so I can make myself believe I'm not reading something from a sexist.

[imati-lau.livejournal.com]

I really know what you mean.

Last year was terrible for me (no kidding, 2011 was the worst year of my life), and I spent pretty much most of it in a depressive state, and like you, I couldn't bring myself to watch any of the animes I like. It was as if happiness was sucked out of me and it made it impossible to enjoy anything. And like you, watching happy people with enthusiasm for life only made me feel lots worse. Right now I feel better, but only because I'm on vacation and I've been able to take a breath from everything.

Let's just hope things improve for both of us next year. We can only hope...

[five-for-go.livejournal.com]

Oh god anon, there is no other series that I can reread/rewatch as many times as I have Hikago and not be bored. It is also the only series that makes me cry as hard on all revisits to it as it did the first time.

I start crying just thinking about that final dream sequence in the anime where Sai hands Hikaru his fan, and every time I can't tell if I'm sad or happy or auuugh. Hikago you are the only series that gets me so emotional.

Suuuuch a couply image!!

I know what you mean about the passion, it just makes me feel so jealous and like a lousy lazy looser.

[(Anonymous)]

It makes me depressed that an eleven year old boy is so much better at a strategy game than I ever will be (Boy, do I suck at go!)

But this is one my favorite series. Ever.

[stfu-rightnow.livejournal.com]

Pointless comment, I just looooooooooove this series so much, it's fantastic!

[(Anonymous)]

Man, I know what you mean. It's not that I can't be passionate about things, but it just never lasts for very long. I'm fickle. I have many things I like and enjoy doing and there will be phases where I only want to do that one thing, but I'm not even sure if it's passion as much as it is obsession. I guess you can argue they're almost one in the same. But I get envious of people and even fictional characters that have such a passion for something.

I never actually read/watched this. I knew someone who liked it a lot. So much that they got a Go set and learned how to play. I learned from their enthusiasm, but I wasn't as into it.

[nonoji.livejournal.com]

I know how you feel op, I get the same feeling when watching/reading Nodame.
