Official Polish version of Hetalia manga

[radittz.livejournal.com]

My publisher friend finally finished Polish version of Axis Powers Hetalia and it's going to book shops tommorow. If you are interested I can write a short review of it :)
I hope that we wont have situations like in Korea, actually thanks to Hollywood movies, like "Enigma" or "Defiance" we got used to strange image of our country in WWII so I don't expect bigger affair with APH even if our WWII history isn't something funny.

Anyway, I think that if it wont have problems here, it wont have them anywhere else. What do you think about publishing it in your country?

Yeah it's also up to the company. For example, to my knowledge, stuff like Hellsing goes completely uncensored and no media outlet has ever complained about it. And considering it has Nazis and lots of religious groups represented, it would be one of the first targets if mass media was going to go after Anime/Manga here in the US.

The fact is, the Americans that would complain about Hetalia are the Americans that have already sworn off all anime/manga as pure evil. (because they are uneducated about it, and therefore lump innocent things like Pokemon in with hentai) Anime/Manga fans here just tend to have a huge victim complex and flip out every single time a series is licensed (FMA anime wank anyone?) and get all paranoid that the fandom is going to be attacked even though that rarely, if ever, happens.

Now that's a big truth. Besides the big Pokémon wanks (about 10 years ago), I've never heard of an organized attack towards an anime or its fandom.

I can imagine problems on other countries, but, America? Not at all =P
