EXTREMELY OLD NEWS IS EXTREMELY OLD but, I still found it interesting nonetheless.
You may or may not have heard of the whole recent axe murder in Japan, where a 15 year old girl murdered her father with an axe, and the media blamed Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, and it also caused the final episode of School Days to be replaced with a nature program, which is where the
Nice Boat meme originated from.
Don't think Trigun is clear of such things, though! A long long time ago, about eight years ago, In Japan.... Some boy threw a bomb into a video store. Unlike the axe murder, nobody was harmed, but said boy often quoted Trigun in High School, and much like the Doom games around the time of the Columbine Massacre and Higurashi during the previously mentioned axe murder, the media in Japan was all over Trigun and pointing fingers at it left and right even though the entire point of the series was quite the opposite.
More info can be found on the extremely old site where I found it from:
Here What's your opinion on the matter?
I have but one thing to say: Knives, that is one nice boat you got there! Can I have it?
This is also quite a coincidence since one of my fanfictions features Vash and Wolfwood talking about nice boats.
