My first topic (which is rather early since I created my blog) is on the anime Hetalia Axis Powers.
A North American anime licensor and distributor called FUNimation, based somewhere in Texas, asquired the cute, epically hilarious, and somewhat stereotypical and politically suggestive anime series Hetalia Axis Powers.The original series is based on a webcomic by Hidekaz Himaruya which is published by Gentosha Comics. Each anime episode parodies certain historic events and is about 5 minutes long and the ending songs are sung by the male characters. The songs consists of the characters calling their parents (in the country's native tounge) asking for a certain drink and food from the country.
FUNimation has acquired DVD and streaming rights to episodes 1 through 52 (seasons 1 and 2, the 3 has yet to be released). The sereis original appeared on T.V. in Japan but South Korean protestors called for an end to the show since the character representing South Korea was too "stereotyped".
The show was not cancelled, because South Korea had not made his appearance yet, however he can still be seen during the shows credit sequence. The original author also intended for him to appear but to due to protest scratched it.
The show no longer appears on T.V in Japan but is still streamed online and on cell phones.
Nevertheless, this show will be available in America now.
