1. Best character name evar.

4. It's hard to appreciate the original when you haven't watched the damn thing and have no way of getting it, because you aren't willing to cough up a billion dollars on eBay to get the box set. =| Why is liking the newer additions a sin?

5. REBOOT OMG ♥ ♥ ♥ I loved that show so much.

11. I don't know he is, but the guy in the black-and-white picture is hot.

And I totally agree with your taste in men, for the most part (the dude from Ghost in the Shell is kinda pushing it...)

11. Otacon, from the Metal Gear Solid series. PLAY THEM. PLAY THEM NOW.

I've played the fourth before, actually, but I didn't have time to get very far in it. x( It's at the top of my list for summer game rentals.

The fourth? If you have a time machine, I wanna borrow it XD

Technically the first MGS is the fourth Metal Gear game, though 8D

I mean the third! D= Or, um, whichever game was called Snake Eater.

Forgive me, I'm a newb.

Oh, yeah, that one's fantastic. 3's a prequel, so you can play it first and understand it perfectly fine, but you lose a lot of the tragic undertones. Actually, it would be interesting to see what it would be like to play 3 first, then 1 and 2, then 3 again, this time getting the full impact. Really, it's an amazingly deep and complex story, and I can't pimp it enough.

And there's lots and lots of hoyay.

I bought the movie adaptation box set at Gamestop, and it really wasn't that expensive considering how much it costs to buy an entire series for something else. But if you don't have the money for it, you don't have the money for it. I don't get annoyed by people who like Seed or Wing so much as I get annoyed with Gundam fans who refuse to watch the original series at all just because it's old. I don't even expect them to like it better. Just...to watch at least an hour of it, I guess.

If it's over 80$ it's out of my price range x) I'm poor.

It is kind of annoying when people refuse to watch certain things just because the art isn't beautiful or because it's old, but there's nothing you can really do about it, so there's no use in getting angry. Gundam is a series but they're not connected (except for SEED and SEED Destiny, as far as I know) so it makes more sense to me as if you treat all the shows as different series. You can like your original Gundam, the new fans can like their Wing, and everyone's happy. The situation would be different if they were all related, but they're not. (I'm not sure if that made any sense to you, but yeah. It did in my head.)

That being said, it'd be a lot easier to recruit people if you didn't talk down about the fandoms they're already in. "If you like Gundam Wing, you might be interested in the original series too," works a hell of a lot better than "The original series is better than the crap you're watching, hands down."

But if they're that superficial, why would you want them in your fandom anyway? x(
