Axis Powers Hetalia

*tries a shot in the dark*

Croatia?

At the time, wasn't it Croatia-Herzegovina? Although I'm informed that the country as such never really existed, since it's all in the mind, you know...

Don't be dissin' mah homie-land llearch.

For anime fans: Thank to tvtropes, I have learned that Axis Powers Hetalia will have an anime.

The most important part is that America is voiced by the same person who did Kamina, of Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann fame.

That is all.

The first ep of the anime "aired" a few days ago. It's already been fansubbed, if anyone's interested. It's only like 5 minutes long though...

All I care about is that America is Kamina. That means we're offically awesome.

Azumanga Daioh was originally aired in approx. five minute segments, and Kogepan episodes aren't much more then five minutes long. It's not extremely unusual.

While I haven't had the chance to really get a good look at the series, I already get the sneaking suspicion that Canada-kun is going to be portrayed as a weakling who lives under America-kun.  Every shot I see of this series so far has him in the background behind America or having his hair tousled  by him and he seems to have a teddy bear in his possession at all times.  I really hope that isn't how we're portrayed throughout the manga/anime.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it goes in the manga. Best I can tell, Canada isn't even in the anime. He's not on the cast page, at any rate. Maybe they just forgot about us (the way everyone does in the manga...).

Yeah I noticed his absence on the anime cast page.  I haven't gotten around to reading the manga (only viewed a few pages)  but so far I was a little disappointed by that.  Ah well, I won't let my patriotism ruin what looks to be a decent series.

do you maybe have a link to where we can watch the anime? if it is on that site can you make a link directly to it ... I can't read the site ^^''

YouTube is an amazing thing.

ALSO, CANADIANS: Don't worry about it too much; America is portrayed as a food-obsessed idiotic attention whore who thinks of England. I think being invisible is better then being a borderline 'tard.

[Eibborn]

Mm, like I said, I actually liked the representation of Canada. If it helps, consider his absence an extension of the running gag that he goes unnoticed and forgotten by everyone. That's what I would do if I were the author, but then I'm a sucker for meta.
