Marking another name down for huge fan, loves the anime and adores the manga in a massive, craving manner. When the fandom was in its biggest swing (right around the time the VHS volumes were being released a few years ago), I considered myself read-only when it came to the fandom itself. I didn't have the network or the self-confidence to put anything out of my own... but as I got more involved in reading the manga, I realized that I didn't really want to dip into the 'what if' part of fandom works. I love the story on its own far too much, and I didn't want to get anywhere near the drama of shipping wars and whatever wank might arise. I just liked Trigun being wholly Trigun. So I missed pretty much everything.

... now, though, I'm getting to the end of the manga and I want someone to grab by the lapels and go AHHHH! at. Because... just... AHHHH!
