I tend to...try a manga over an anime these days. And I just started a new one after I think two years of not watching any new anime? Unless its something I need to give a try for a convention because I know nothing that a guest has done before...I really don't jump on the hype band wagons. Or I take suggestions from people in the industry, cause they will usually be honest about a series if you tell them what else you like.
My group of friends basically tried to get our hands on anything and everything, including by buying VCDs of fansubs cause torrents weren't a thing in the dark ages. But GW was on Cartoon Network and the fandom was huge at the time, so it was easy to get into. Sadly my friends were um...conservative Christians soooo the issue of slash was not brought up very much and I kinda got into that part of the fandom by myself.
And yes, Quatre so very, very gay. Oi vey people, he wears pink and his most important CR in the show is worrying over Trowa...and worrying over Heero. >_>
Brad is completely adorable. He builds Gundam models and is such a geek amoung geeks. I was so fucking nervous meeting him that I basically handed him something to sign and then retreated so fast afterwards. Admittedly this was just after HS, it was the second largest con I'd been to and it was in another country, so. Got to meet Scott McNeil that weekend too though...and it was...um, one of the best guest meets I've ever had. I was one of three people running the art/fanfic room for the whole weekend so we didn't really get to leave the room to go to panels. One of the con goers had mentioned that the art/fanfic room was being run by 3 GW fans but they couldn't leave. So he came by, sat down at one of the tables and starts drawing with crayons proclaiming that it was the best room ever because we had crayons!
