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.

As listed in the ANN article now, here is the petition with the 10,000 (now over 15,000) names:

We have to keep in mind that these names are unverified, like in almost all online petitions. The Yomiuri Shimbun paper is a 134-year-old institution so it's not a tabloid of ill repute. But yeah, a grain of salt is still always recommended for any news source. Is there anything else you would like clarified?
