Saw this on Tumblr, it looks very promising as a whole <3

And... sorry but the shipper in me; 'Germany losing his composure' could that be... Buon San Valentino!? o3o

A-and various seasons... you don't think they'd allude to any of the events would you?

And France being lonely... possibly Joan of Arc strip animated? *squirms*

Spain? (´；ω；`)

Heh, I was just about to post this. Beat me to it! XD

Now, I know I'm not the only one who has noticed the similarities between these two images:



That, along with one of the unknown characters being a "Grandpa character" and one of the episodes described as "The story of France’s loneliness," I think they're going to animate "Though I Depart, You Shall Remain."



2013 PLEASE HURRY UP AND GET HERE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!

Has a picture of all the characters too, some who aren't on this list.

Buon San Valentino?

[sne-stjerne.livejournal.com]

Nordics and lively new characters and a potential for Amerimochi. I'm so excited! I can't wait for January! ^.^

Thanks for the news!!!
Well the lively new characters are the ones of volumes 4 and 5 i think......taiwan, vietnam and others.....because all infos about the new episodes are strips from these volumes: youngf russia, loneless france, christmas, american japanese culture....

[wakalakaosaka.livejournal.com]

I can't wait until 2013!!!! Thanks for the news

So that means Cuba will appear again |D

I feel so special because I run that blog. /bricked

I'm really excited! The various seasons thing has got me very curious and it makes me wonder if the some of the Kitayume events will be animated but if they're sticking to just the published content, I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up (and it probably dashes my hope for micronations too /sobs). The mysterious creature bit screams "Mochis" to me and I'm pretty excited because it possibly means some more screen time for Estonia too. Poor guy doesn't get a whole lot of love here!

Of course, I'm excited for the Nordics to appear as well (I'm DYING to see what they'll look like under the artwork)! Though I'm curious as to which strips they'll adapt. If they're sticking to published content (specifically volumes 4 and 5), there isn't much except for an omake comic in volume 4 and the second half of the Gakuen Hetalia strip in volume 5. But we'll see what they have planned! \o/
