And that bit about the effects of the Treaty of Versailles and the Deutsche Mark with its high inflation was hilarious. Man, I wish history was this fun in school.
Maybe they should start showing this to kids in history class. They learn and have fun at the same time! It's win/win!
Yeah yeah, the big German girls and--- wait, I'm not!! =DD This is the first time I've heard that cliché. I'm signing the "German tourists in Italy" though. xD
This is really charming so far. I'm not entirely sure how to feel about the evil parts of Italy, and, let's face it, especially Germany that have been omitted in reference to WWII. I believe it's good that there have been no scape goats established so far, still a slight jab for the record might have been legitimate.
I'm actually pretty surprised (in a positive sense) at the way Germany has been depicted so far.
Ahahaha I'm liking how they are incorporating all the history into this, I got the bits about the Treaty of Versailles and hyperinflation of the German mark. Italy's song was cute. :3
I totally did not understand Italy's pay and price of eggs lol
Let’s say I posed this question to you: “Can all human souls be bought with money or not?” Now remember, the keyword here is “all”. The answer is “There are times when you can buy them, and other times, not,” right? The human being… sometimes he’ll uphold his pride and conscience even if he’s offered ten billion yen, and other times he’ll murder someone over one yen. ~Izaya Ohira (Durarara)
My lack of historical knowledge is really apparent when watching but it does not hinder the enjoyability of the show for me. Maybe I'll google some of the references to understand things even better
