There is something therapeutic about introducing someone to Hikaru no Go for the first time, watching them get reeled in by this lighthearted shonen romp through the land of some board game no one actually knows how to play, and then...
...watching them cry their little hearts out when Sai disappears in Vol 15., and there's just this empty space behind the curtains where Hikaru can't find him, and Hikaru goes looking everywhere for him, and then he's kneeling in the kifu room and bawling for Sai to come back so you can't help but cry some more waaaaah!!!!!
If I had to go through that, so do you, nyeeah.

The great thing about being a terrible person is the lack of remorse
Date: 2014-03-27 07:29 pm (UTC)(Returning the boomerang) How about when Hikaru is playing Isumi and realizes Sai is in his go? And even though Isumi kind of understands, Hikaru is still so terribly aloooooone in his wordless grief over the death of his friend who no one else ever knew. Look at this kid's tear streaked face. How can you not cry too?
I think we should collect all the worst sadface screenshots together.

bwahaha, I was thinking "why did no one aside from me order these blends. THEY ARE SO GOOD. AND SAI IS SO BEAUTIFUL ON THE TEA PACKAGE." Alrighty, I guess I need to pimp it harder.

Date: 2014-03-28 08:40 am (UTC)Sounds like the start of a very successful tumblr. I love how we all sit around exclaiming "oh no, how dare it get sad, I am broken!" While digging to find MORE sadness. Fandom, basically.

Date: 2014-03-28 04:00 pm (UTC)Is there enough to start a Tumblr? Isn't it just enough for one picspam post on Dreamwidth? I am kind of new to the whole tumblr thang.
