The 'You're only a true fan if you liked it before x' is never a good attitude. No one is better than anyone else just because they liked something 'before it was cool'. orz

Kiyoteru gained more fans because AHS made good marketing decisions, and added more to his voicebank, giving him a wider appeal. His old design was formal and unembellished, his add-on design is an attractive new take on the character. His XSY voice is emotive and powerful, both popular traits and a useful assets to Kiyoteru's voice.

When something changes, you either lose fans or you gain them, there was always be change in reaction to change. People are always upset when something because 'mainstream', and sometimes it does bring negative effects, but elitism never helps a community.
