I've been missing the friends I made but the rest of the fandom, uhh. I was a silly fangirl back then and when I grew out of my seme/uke relenahate phase the other people who hadn't grown up at the same rate got on my nerves so fierce I left.

Though recently I rewatched the whole show and while I still love the characters, some of the scenes and the politicking were so cheesy and so heavy on the symbolism they just became kind of absurd. I enjoyed it anyway, mind, because I love to mock what I love! but I think a huge part of the insane popularity GW enjoyed back in the day was due to what the fandom could do with it, more than the show itself.

I would totally watch a new season, though, maybe one about what the heck Heero did post-EW, wandering the world?, but that new sequel manga full of bullcrap I refuse to acknowledge. It reads like a horrible next gen selfinsert fanfic, filling holes that didn't need filled with illogism and making all the new characters unimaginative xerox copies of the Gboys, only now Quatre is a girl and Trowa's last name is Phobos instead of Barton and his bangs curl sliiiightly at the end. Duo Maxwell's name they didn't even change, he just has a fur collar instead of a priestly one wooohoo. :/ ... sorry, I have ~feelings~ about that horrid thing. I had such hopes that it would revive the fandom some but... waugh.

Yeah, I get some joy out of the manga (certain characters turned out seriously awesome in their mature age and confirmation about some canon hints were great) but the xerox-copy offspring has completely weirded me out. Either tell a new story about a new generation or tell a new story about the original characters, don't clone or cryo-freeze (seriously what the hell) the originals so you can tell the exact same story over again, that's stupid. I was so ridiculously happy at first when I heard GW was being expanded and now I'm like vaguely embarrassed by this foolishness.

incoming excited rant

Hahaha, the show and it's flip-flopping of factions and such WAS really heavy-handed and cheesy, but I love it so much.

And yeah. On subsequent rewatches, all of my relena!hate died and she's even on my radar now. But I still find her rather annoying from the beginning to the middle of the series and I'm more neutral on her from there to the end. LOVE her in EW though. She finally GOT why they were needed and why they weren't now.

I ended up REALLY loving Sally Po and Lady Une. They are my favorites, with Dorothy coming in third.

As for the fandom side of things....I just, for the LIFE OF ME, cannot get the boner on for 1x2. I used to love that pair, but I don't anymore. Heero barely TOLERATED Duo most of the time and was just annoyed by him otherwise. Hell, the only two pilots he really opened up to were Quatre and Trowa. Which I'm very much liking. Duo did as well with Quatre, but he and Heero...I don't get it these days.

Also, also, I am so disappointed that there isn't any kind of Sally/Heero floating around. She was so focused on him in the show, way more so than Wufei, that...I just want some Sally/Heero stuff, be it romantic, fluff, friendship, what have you. :C

But I can't write for shit and I'm stuck on coming up with sketch ideas. >_>

[otakugal15]

There are some prequel stuff to Frozen Teardrop that's coming out as well, set right after EW that looks interesting and is focused on the ORIGINAL characters. Those I'm gonna read.

I may read Frozen Teardrop as well, but my hopes on it aren't very high.

However, I SOOOOOOO wish they'd take the new manga adaptation and make it into a rebooted, newer, cleaner looking anime series (even though i adore the original). The Glory of the Defeated is AMAZEBALLS and it uses so much of the info that wasn't able to make it into the show originally and GAH. I love it~!!!
