Honestly I don't quite see that nowadays, maybe they're Eva fanboys rather than Gainax fanboys, and also the fact that they've grown up. I am not old enough to see that crowd at their prime, so I can't say much, and Madhouse and Bones has always had fans, but not fanboys from my point of view.

Well it could be a trend thing, and now it's just another studio by the name of KyoAni? Maybe it's got something to do with the proliferation of the internet and fansubs as well, such that it made the phenomenon more pronounced.

What does Gatoh Shouji count for then? Don't forget Fumoffu is the first show that fans took notice of in a big way, not AIR.
