In all honesty, I highly respect creators of a sports/music/art/whatever anime. It's weird how they still make it good when everyone knows it's unreasonable and overly dramatic. For example, Go, in real life, is so boring and dull (to me at least), but Hikaru no Go makes it seem like the deciding factor in life, and it's completely normal to think that. I really liked that series, but it may be the supernatural side calling...
