Observation admist the squees of joy
Today I bought volume one of Hetalia: Axis Powers manga. Let us all take a moment to fangirl over the awesomeness of that particular manga/anime. :D Money well spent, me thinks.
Anyway, I was reading the back cover and it had a little warning-box thing in red.
Rated: OT (older teen) age 16+
May include:
Did you catch it? No? Well then let's see that again:
I am torn between two questions:
a) Since when did "fanservice" require warning?
and
b) If they consider Hetalia to have "mild" fanservice, WTF do they consider "heavy"?
Regardless, I totally encourage you to get into the Hetalia fandom and fall in love with the characters and wayward plot. The basis of the idea is each character represents a country, and using history, shows how these characters/countries react around each other. It's really interesting and while semi-historical, seems to make fun of everything and anything in a good way.
Now I have the little figurines (first season) and the first volume of the manga. Next for me to go get? The Hetalia anime. I want to hear the dubbing on the episodes--regardless on how stupid it sounds in English!
