Due to language and adaptation barriers, nearly all popular anime is subject to [[Fanon]] levels proportional to their age; ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' and ''[[Ranma ½]]'' are two notable examples. The advent of the Internet has made fact-checking much easier. It has not, however, stopped flame wars about favored characters or plot lines based solely on fanon. Some tropes, such as Akane Tendo's (of ''Ranma ½'') supposed psychotic tendencies, have been so over-elaborated-upon by fans that they become psychotically defensive of their incorrect beliefs. On the other hand, cultural and literary differences on the very notion of what's "canon" means that there's considerable room for fanon to grow. A notable example would be ''[[Gundam]].''
