Hetalia licensed by Funimation

[Jennisora]

I think is neccesary for some of the characters to have accents. Who to do them, i don't know. Like many others I would want to see Vic mignogna have a part, but I have no idea who. As much as I love him I dont see him as one of the major characters.  

[mangacraz00]

This should be very interesting.

I hope the accents aren't all super silly or anything, but it should be fine.

At least it means I can actually OWN the DVD and not have to watch on the internet.
I mean, think about it. If I get bored, I can just take out my APH DVD and learn some history while having fun! <33

I think the dub could be really cool if they do it right. Accents would be awesome as long as they aren't retarded. Also, yes, please no Southern accent for Alfred. burning_eyes

as for me i did not like the OHSHC dub, but we can only hope for the best that funimation does not ruin axis powers ninja

I'll say in the end that I haven't and will never watch the dub for sure now. This is simply because not only do I think it's NOT okay to make remarks that the CREATOR of the series carefully avoided (Germany and jokes about Jews and Catholics? NOT OK.), but there is NOTHING I hate more than ADD LIBBING to THAT EXTENT when they dub something. If we don't know who some Japanese actor is or some complicated Japanese inside secret term, by all means change it to an American one so we understand. But do NOT change "Wow, it's really foggy out tonight." to "This fog's so thick you could cut it with a ******** katana." <~Saiyuki dubs.

Basically, what it looks like to me is that Funi took Hetalia, an already established series, and milked it, shredded it, and made it as offensive as possible. That is NOT what Hetalia is supposed to be, and unfortunately it WILL make the fandom hate the fans more, you know it. Hetalia is comedy, some seriousness, all around satire but no harm.

Information about the dub taken from animenewsnetwork on the official dub panel released.  

[Nate_RiversOfTheSPK]

okay, not only have they licensed the first two seasons but funimation has also announced to have rights to third season world series, and that they will also be simulcasting with Japan the fourth season with english subs for us.

they also have rights to the movie paint it, white.

At least we can always just switch it to Japanese on the DVDs ._.  

[x_LoveObject_x]

I'll still buy the DVDs if I have the extra money only because of that choice, to be able to switch it to subs. I just pray they don't ******** up the manga.  

[Nate_RiversOfTheSPK]

yeah... ._.
but I can't really see how they could mess it up.

yet sometimes they find a way.  

[x_LoveObject_x]

Well, they could only mess it up if they 'add libbed' the manga as well, which is unlikely thankfully.  

[Kin-Chan03109]

o_o wow. The trailer for the second season of Hetalia is already out......
