Is it odd I'm actually surprised? I'm really excited it's licensed, I really love the series, but I am actually surprised it's getting licensed even though I know it's really popular among anime/manga fans. I was always afraid America would pull a Korea and get super offended and ban it or something, and make a huge deal out of it. Of course, that would have to happen after it's been licensed, so I guess I was thinking more that dubbing companies would be afraid to release it for fear of the American public getting offended D: Hopefully that won't happen, and it probably wont even get noticed by the public. I really hope if they actually dub it (which Funi would most likely do) I REALLY hope they get all the dialects and accents in, instead of having them all sound...American. It'd really ruin the series if they didn't. Thats the new thing I'm worried about D: Anyway, super excited about the news!
I recently got into the show myself (love it btw.. Italy being my favorite character ^_^). Didn't Funimation just say though that they weren't going to license it because of the slight offensiveness of the title? I mean, only an idiot would find this series offensive, but now all of a sudden it's going to be dubbed.. hm, I wonder what changed their minds?
NO WAY? AWESOME!
I love Hetalia, I knew they`d have to do it one day. I can`t wait! I HAVE to tell vg. However, a lot of my friends are already annoyed about my obsessing over hetalia... Poor steve OTL
I'm now SUPER excited! I was so happy when I read this title, I can't wait! I wonder if they're actually going to dub it, or just release it. Either way, I'm just glad it's at least licensed.
"Ideally if they can pool their resources and get VAs who can do other dialects (and do them well), this could be one of the most interesting dub tracks to date." (comment from Katana)
^ Wow, that would be amazing. Hetalia would feel so much more international, if we could have more of the other languages with it. There were a few add-ins of languages in the original, but I think it could get better.
To me, this makes sense. It's a series that deals with multiple countries and thusly multiple languages...Ideally if they can pool their resources and get VAs who can do other dialects (and do them well), this could be one of the most interesting dub tracks to date.
THIS MADE MY DAY. OMG I'M GONNA DIE OF EXCITEMENT. AHHHHHH I HOPE THEY DO WELL DUBBING! AND I HOPE THE DVDS HAVE JAPANESE AUDIO AS WELL! SO HAPPY. THIS IS GOING ALL OVER MY WORLDS!
Yes! This is good, I have friends that have been wanting to see it, but they don't want to watch it either in Japanese or online.^^ I just hope they don't ruin it if they end up dubbing it. >.>

Awesome! I can't wait for this to come out! I'm so excited!
I agree with Katana, if they get voice actors who can actually do accents, this will be a terrific dub!

Oh well I don't watch Funimation stuff these days, so it doesn't matter to me I suppose.
