Highrise Above All
Just like it says on the tin. Have you ever jumped into a fandom after discovering a pairing you (at the time) looking into on a whim, perhaps, or an interest with no real describable reason?
I'll be frank with my own example: I owe my absolute love for the Sengoku Basara fandom to a BL doujinshi done by one of the more sexy-style doujinka (Kodaka Kazuma, I state for the record). I didn't know what the fandom was, who the characters were, or anything of the sort. And the next thing I know is I'm studying up on the warring states, learning that Mouri Motonari and Chosokabe Motochika's histories don't line up like they do in the series, and drooling over Date Masamune (he's got memetic Engrish, a horse with motorcycle parts attached, six swords, and a "battle butler" in his possession; how f***ing cool is that?) as a whole. Except that's not everything, and it /is/ everything that makes the series delightful (I popped into the fandom /just/ as the anime series was premiering; good timing, whut).
Not that I'd trust Sengoku Basara's English counterpart Devil Kings (for the PS2). D8 I was sad to learn CAPCOM took everything out that make it Japanese and a mesh of historical peoples.
Nevertheless, the series is great, and I'm so glad I found it. *_* Thank you, ChikaNari~
