Confirmation of Petition

Apparently the rumors about a petition in Korea to cancel the Hetalia anime are true:

No plans to cancel it as of yet. Interestingly enough, there were never plans for Korea to be in the anime.

No one can seem to substantiate the 10,000 signature claim, so it's clear to me that it's all exaggeration and hearsay for X party's slow news day/trolling attempt. The only proof is that right-wingers are complaining from a right-wing 'internet news' site, but god, they always do. They'll complain about Japanese furniture and still use it to sit on and blog from.

TBH, I don't think Koreans could care less. 10 000 is A LOT, even for a highly-digitised country like Korea. I think most are more concerned with their Cyworld blogs. X0
