[Blog update] - Germany is playing an impossible game - second part

[lost-hitsu.livejournal.com]

Second part of Himaruya's EU crisis comic. First part to be found here, also check the original version for added pictures of Finland, America and Netherlands.

Translation finished, edit: scanlations thanks to shibbyone





Denmark

Germany, let's build the bridge bridge bridge bridge bridge bridge bridge!



Tourists

Ho ho ho ho ho
ha ha ha ha ha










Netherlands tends to lose his composure when Greece bothers him too much












(T/N - Hima uses "SAN値 which, as google told me, is the Japanese variation of Sanity used in Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu RPG)



Whe have to get rid of the "wall in the center", so that the country can get better and the progress will be naturally more effective!
When the Ostalgie level gets higher, Russia imposes himself on my big brother

(T/N Ostalgie is a combination of Ost (East) and Nostalgie)



What's that?

I can't help but think that America looks so cute trembling with his huge dollar. ^^ Can't wait for the translation.

[larosabelle.livejournal.com]

Oh America...I don't even need translations to understand what you're going through D; Get that AAA back, like nowz.

[mertseguer.livejournal.com]

I think you missed the first (second in the blog) image of Netherlands, the one with ギリシャにかまいすぎるとオランダさんがキレるぞ！ below it.

Denmark don't give me those thumbs up when you started controlling your borders again with such dangerous neighbours as err Germany and Sweden.....

GERMANY AND SWEDEN

Thanks for your hard work translator<3

[lost-hitsu.livejournal.com]

thank you, that's why it didn't make sense!

[mystofthestars.livejournal.com]

Pasta and tomatoes do make things better :D
(how do you think Italians could survive, otherwise xD'''')

[mertseguer.livejournal.com]

Well all those German tourists are scary..

[mertseguer.livejournal.com]

glad to be of service ^^

[din-84.livejournal.com]

He could have just said so, that I can understand completely!

I thought we were talking about dem illegal immigrants or something *coughs coughs*

[mertseguer.livejournal.com]

nahhhh! Denmark loves illegal immigrants, specially if they are Muslim or from eastern Europe. Better yet if they are Muslims from eastern Europe.

[din-84.livejournal.com]

That was always the impression I got which is IMHO abtlly reflected by the current ruling party.

Want some more tea dear?

[din-84.livejournal.com]

Oh no Prussia Ostalgie is so 5 years ago and you would NOT want to visit Russia let me tell you that.

[juandalyn.livejournal.com]

Duuuh... Ostalgie? XD Oh Gilbo you...

lol at Holland XD

Swiss and Japanese tourists? What are they doing there? XD

...and what's that about the baltic countries? I'm confused...

[fmptard.livejournal.com]

i feel bad for ya, Germany.
doesn't pay to be the lone conscientious one, does it? (-_-")

it'll be alright, America. somehow, it'll be alright (⌐_⌐≡)
i support John Oliver's idea of another European war

[seraphoftales.livejournal.com]

im guessing himaruya has decided to illustrate the european financial crisis by using a visual novel/sim game, or at least snapshots of said game

the player is controlling germany pffffft

i dont even...

also maybe "this dude" instead of "chap"??

-peeps into convo-

[seraphoftales.livejournal.com]

i am confused and at the same time interested

[fmptard.livejournal.com]

i was gonna say "this guy", but...

[fmptard.livejournal.com]

you know, "little guy" would probably be the best, since he's referring to the dollar sign

[lost-hitsu.livejournal.com]

Changed to "little guy", thank you so much. This happens when you learn your English from boring classics and can't think of a single normal word when necessary OTL

[din-84.livejournal.com]

It took me a while to get my head around that Japanese sentence below Prussia.
I first didn't know what Hima went with rising prices in the East... Did he mean the rising property and renting costs? But that's a good sign for the economy in the East O_o.

.....

I tried again after the translation into English...

I think I got it now, he probably means the money we spend/t rebuilding the East ( but what has Ostalgie to do with that??? The mind boogles).
No worries Hima ATM everyone is moving from West to East here because they have the better unis, cooler cities and larger flats (for less moneyz), I don't see economically tattered Russia being successful in wanting to take "advantage".
Hell, Russia would not even get past Poland who's economy has grown incredibly in the last few years.

[fmptard.livejournal.com]

woah, it's your second language?

don't apologize, i'm impressed. i'm terrible at the other 3 languages i know ;w;

[mykonos2.livejournal.com]

I was confused about that part too - thanks for the explanation!

/corrections? (Mostly coming from my Japanese-speaking friend)

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Isn't it more like "When the Ostalgic level/value get higher, Russia imposes himself on [my] big brother"? (So Russia comes over and tries to give Prussia hugs and be his friend and is Russia.)

Like, since it's a "game", it's like Germany's sanity meter?

And I think that'd be "wall in the center"--like the Berlin Wall. Though the rest of the sentence is fine, I think.

[din-84.livejournal.com]

No worries, I hope I got it right.
That would be the only thing making sense.... Ostalgie (pssst translator there is no word like Ostalgic, English has adopted the German word Ostalgie) still doesn't make any sense to me in that context though.....hmmmm unless it would be something like "if the Ostalgie feeling gets higher"-meaning that East Germans would rather revert back to living in the GDR than with West Germany-"Russia will take advantage of big brother". That would also fit with whole "overcome the Walls in our hearts" sentence.

However, that has nothing to do with the current economic crisis, is outdated and err kinda a weird statement to make Oo
