Funimation takes Hetalia right here.

Ahaha, posted right after you.

NO

*cries*

Uh-oh. xD I'm not sure about the implications but...Well, I hope they'll still keep subbing it. Funimation isn't the worst company that could have gotten it...I'm kind of interested in who will dub who. And I've been wanting to purchase the DVDs. But...somehow I have a bad feeling. o __o

Funi's really notorious about Cease and Desist letters to fansub groups. :/

I'm scared to hear how the voices will sound like .___.
Really, really scared!

...Why Funimation...? D:

Bring Popcorn. Looks like we'll need it.

I wouldn't have minded a licensing but I'm not very fond of Funi. I'm just not. I was kind of hoping another company like Bandai would grab it but it seems like Funi's the only one with money to spare since... it has every other series. But alas, I'm just being bitter. We'll see how it goes.

But I'll be honest. For me, having no Yuri Lowenthal makes dubs significantly less worth it.

[shuuichi-chan.livejournal.com]

That's true but...I'm sure people will still find a way to get around it. >__> Plus each episode isn't that long and many people could probably understand it without translation. xD Still, I hope that doesn't happen. :

This is kinda upsetting. Never really was a fan of Funimation's dubs, but I had a feeling they were gonna get it.

So they'll license the first two seasons but not the 3rd one and the movie (unless the sales are doing pretty well good which encourages to license both the movie the 3rd season).

Well, that leaves the announcements who would be the VAs and possibly, licensing the manga.

We could only wait to see what happens next. D:

As soon as I read this I got a really bad feeling. I'm nervous now. Like.. ugh.

*sigh* I really wonder how this is going to change things. In the short- and long-term.

[shadow-piper.livejournal.com]

Ew. Just ew.

Keep Vic away from it, and I might survive the ordeal.

[pharaoh-dust.livejournal.com]

I doubt it'll go TOO badly. And if it does, it has potential for comedy (of the wrong kind)

Unless Crispin Freeman is in it. Fuck that guy.

There better be accents!! If not, there will be blood.

4kids died a long time ago and will never be revived. XD

Vic is everywhere. He's already conquering the world. <<

[fuzzlekins.livejournal.com]

I knew it! ISOEFFINGKNEWIT! YES! NO! YESNOYESNO!
*freaks out for a minute*

Ok, this means I can buy the DVDs without importing them, so I'm satisfied.

HE RUINED OHSHC!

I BET HE'LL MAKE ENGLAND OR AMERICA LOL

I'm afraid the mature and tolerant fanbase we all know and love will never be the same... ;_______;

I'm honestly really, really, REALLY worried. And that is the main reason. D:

My main worries are the fandubs and what it will do to the fanbase. I mean... really. Seriously.

Why is everyone here so negative? Goodness, people.

I for one am ecstatic.
I want Travis Willingham Germany so bad it hurts.

For the lulz

[frerardislove.livejournal.com]

My god, I just thought of something HILARIOUS! What if Sacha Baron Cohen did the voice for Austria (using the Austrian accent he had for his character Bruno in the movie of that same name)? I would die of laughter!
