Ha! That's cute, and a neat hobby to get into I would think. I've never played Go myself.

^This for me as well, though "technically" I did this after watching Sentai, and not anime, but it's the same concept, right? Actually, it's kinda funny, but I regularly watch my various Super Sentai series with my buddy David, adn we've made it a thing where after we finish a series, we have a party of sorts to celebrate it. We cook some food that was either eaten regularly or that was prominent in a certain episode we liked or something, and do other silly thematic things. So far we've only done the cooking twice, as we only started that aspect of it recently, but we've successfully made curry and pork-cube stew, both recipes being delicious. Good times!
