After hearing so many comments I must seriously live under a rock in the FMA fandom, because I've never heard of anything like this before, and I want to say how sorry I am Trigun was nearly ruined for you because of fanbrats. D: Maybe I'm just in denial/believe the two FMA's are/n't related at all, but look at them for what they are: separate animals and technically separate creators, since the manga-ka signed off on the anime but ultimately it became someone else's idea. And that idea developed faster than the manga, and eventually gave a different/parallel idea so our poor Arakawa-ka could have one less thing to worry about. D:

*way too philosophical/optimistic for fandom I guess*

Anyway, as a fellow Trigun fan (I saw the anime first--Cartoon Network adult swim one night when GW wasn't on; not all of us get random 'new manga!' notices in the paper :'D)

I've been a fan since 2001, before it was on Adult Swim, but, I, too, found the anime first (back in those days, the anime was released in the US on tape, but the manga was still a mystical Japanse thing that only the very few Japanese-literate got to read, leaving me out until translations became available).

Actually, there have been a LOT of things about Trigun fandom that almost ruined it for me. There was the manga elitism, as I've described, there were the shipper wars and yaoi vs. het, a little sub vs dub (but probably not as much as most animes because Johnny Yong Bosh is awesome), even (mildly, for a little bit) fluff vs. darkfic writers...

Not to mention having a good friend in the fandom who kind of betrayed me and getting my wanky self on Fandom Wank more than once...

Lots of stuff to ruin the fandom for me, yet, I stuck around. I don't know if it's been a resolve to "not let those people win" or if it's just because I love the characters and world(s) that much. I think it's the latter, and the genuinely FUN fans I've found.

From where I am now, the fandom seems to have been "culled" of most of the wank (correlating with its dwindling popularity). But it's been a weird fandom for something based on Love and Peace.
