| Wow. How incredibly retarded. |
| I have only curse words and shaking fists in response to that. |
| *shakes fist in the air* |
| what a joke get irritated from kids segmented program ? i don't understand anymore and don't want to understand. hate this news |
 |
| Deep breath.. This is an incredibly shameful act of censorship on a harmless little TV show. Some people either need to grow up and take a little parody and satire or defend it. v I feel for you :/ |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 Alfred F. Jones is mai Husbando. |
| Why koreans why I like felt watching this anime cause i love world war 2 and i like seeing a parody of it. xD |
 |
| okay. now i am pissed You know, i know this isn't the doing of all Koreans and there are even many of them who hate what is happening here, however, if those who supported this bullcrap thought the Anime would make them look bad... guess what... this crap just made you look a lot worse... stupid bastards |
 |
| crap. :/ This is a series that I am looking forward to.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Goddammit Korea. |
| It was pretty much the only show I was looking forward to in the winter season. D; Oh well. At least it's still being released online and through mobile so not all hope is lost. |
| butts |
| fucking bullshit, i am PISSED >:| |
  |
| If anything, I feel bad for the studio that produced this series. On second thought, maybe this will actually raise DVD sales. Anyway, I'm disappointed. I was looking forward to this series. :( Oh well, guess we all got the internet to count on. |
 |
| RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! |
| Well I might buy it when it gets released on DVD just to see if I can work out why it got banned. Looks kinda interesting anyway. Wonder if the people who caused this realise that it might actually help the show in the long run. |
| WTF? First no Korea and now this? It all seems like a bad joke. Icy-nee-san said: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! |
Icy-nee-san said: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! THIS. I can't believe how retarded this is. :/ I was so looking forward to it. |
Seasonreaper said: It sounds like it got banned because the TV station doesn't want to deal with people complaining and being "offended." First Korea, so who is next? They don't even want to go there. So I don't necessarily just "blame" the Korean outburst at all, but also whatever suits made this decision. They are taking the easy way out so no one is offended (esp sponsors! perhaps that's why they are taking it off air but are streaming it) and aren't defending satire. It's not even scathing like a lot of satire.. it's just silly and cute.Well I might buy it when it gets released on DVD just to see if I can work out why it got banned.

| I imagine the problem here is that some people think that their sufferings will not be treated seriously. The problem is that it is a comedy or a parody. But still it's just a show, as far as I can see, with the unfortunate title Axis Powers, which seems to mean that there will be Germans and Japanese in it. I was a bit startled when I saw this title, which means other people would be too (some less, some more). But I asked myself, is my automatic reaction the correct reaction? Why did I react that way? After looking at what information I could gather, it looks OK. At least I told myself, give it chance. Maybe I'd change my mind later, but I need to see it first. By the way, I am not Korean, so you don't have to be Korean to be a bit cautious. But I think people that make up their minds without seeing (reading, hearing) it (and it happens a lot), should check the facts first. |
 |
| I can't believe it.. Kids Station actually give in to their protests. This is stupid. |
 |
Jjajang said: Do you think that Kid's Station would have done this had it not been for a group of Koreans saying something??? I don't think so. I'm not blaming all Koreans, but the group who did say something about this had a hand it making it not appear on Kid's Station.I don't think it's fair for the people in this thread to blame Korea and Koreans : |

| Been reading this manga for quite some months now, and let me tell you, it's one of the greatest things ever, at least for me. Hell, I'm from Europe, and I had no idea about lots of parts of Europe's history before reading Hetalia. And not only Europe, but Asian history and such too. So it does teach you many interesting things in it's own, funny and original way. Was waiting for the animation very desperately, and many many other people were too, so these news are pretty damn saddening. Guess there's no other way but watch it from those sites, if nothing else. Gah, why are people taking it so seriously? They should just keep themselves from watching the series, and let those, who want to watch it, watch it. Pretty unfair if you ask me. |
 |
| Great, those shitty protesters got their way after all =/. Hopefully Studio DEEN will find another station to air Hetalia, I feel sorry for them, having it canceled when they already finished production. Don't people (in particular that Korean Congresswoman) have better things to worry about than whining to get an animated satirical program taken off the air? |

| i just can't accept this way of creativity caging. this anime have character named as some of the country and one of them is korea... then what ? i think that is only some unique way to share a whole new creative idea... and have meaningful lesson about unity. and they even not give a chance. what a shame... this masterpiece candidate ruined only because some narrow minded group |
|
| Actually, now I'm starting to want to buy and watch this. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| blame the koreans who cant take a freaking joke |
| I was waiting for this one. Haha oh wow. : \ |

kenny35 said: blame the koreans who cant take a freaking joke The production committee never said the reason for canceling was because of us Koreans, but because of "issues with the broadcast station." It's true Koreans got quite stirred up with Hetalia, but I don't think that means we should be blamed for the cancellation. and btw If you want to watch it so much, you can still watch it other ways. I doubt there is anyone here who's actually gonna watch it live on Kids-Station terrestrial TV anyways. :P |
| nooooooooooooooooooooo i was looking forward to this anime ! T_T |
 |
| What's wrong with Hetalia?! I don't understand it. Bastards... |
 |
| Thanks, planet Earth. |
 |
| I can only say one word to this: STUPID... |
 |
| weirdo |
 |
| So in anime entry type should be changed to ONA I guess. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Oh well, as long as I'm able to watch it, I'm okay.... I suppose there is not enough open-minded people in this world. Yeah, it's history. They make fun of those ugly things that some still remember. But even if my country was abused by some others, I still can't help but love the characters. Sigh. And it's made in light of making fun of everyone, jeez. (Okay, I suppose Ita-chan is getting it hardest, with the title and all....but it's übercute.) I just don't get this. Sigh. People should be more open-minded. |
| Need to make new sig. Soon. Maybe. |
| Damn you Koreans |
 |
| This pisses me off so much. I don't have any interest in the show, but caving in to Korea's whining? Why don't you just roll over and show them your belly Kids Station? |
 |
| Huh? Why? And air only on phones? Call me "TV conservative", btu that's creepy..! |
 |
| Way to go, Korea. You've struck a valiant blow against free speech. Although the producers who wimped out are even worse. Have some spine, will you? |
| What? I'm going to complain to the closest korean. luckily she's only 5 meters away. I was looking forward to this. Oh well, it will still be aired, so aslong as raws are available i'll watch it online. |
| WTF KOREA W T F Seriously I feel sorry for the manga-ka that expected to see his work on TV |
