...Is that Char as Prussia

Hmm... two minutes video to win prizes? *looks at all her Hetalia junk and smirks* Excellent... >:]

[identity profile] ithinkithought.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I genuinely cracked up at the description of the RusAme fanfic. And the six-days-time-spent character pairing chart for the sake of picking groups for merchandising reasons. And the constant zooming in on shirtless pictures of the guys. Oh this fandom.

Same XD

/sob I can't see the video, darn.

Sounds like a good contest though

[identity profile] cappuholic.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
same here ._.
I wonder why it's blocked...

[identity profile] island-of-myst.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Funi's videos tend to only be visible to those in America and Canada. If you're outside the US (and Canada)...pray that someone else uploads it

*glares at friends and merchandise*

GAAAAH WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE OVER 18 THOUGH!!! I'M ONLY ONE YEAR OFF!

Good luck to anyone here who enters XD

[identity profile] kamikazemusume.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, the age thing isn't really because FUNi wants to run it that way - it's a legal requirement in the US for most contests that actually award prizes. At seventeen, US law still sees you as a child rather than a near-adult, and therefore unable to give meaningful consent to this sort of thing, which I personally think is bull, but that's federal government for you.

[identity profile] xxwolfgirlxx.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yea I know that XD But I've seen plenty of contests with prizes that usually have those "get your parent's permission to enter" if you're not over 18 things. :/

[identity profile] kamikazemusume.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, sorry, I'd just come back from the FUNimation blog when I wrote that, and there were all sorts of people complaining about the age thing as if it were FUNi's fault specifically and no-one else's, so yeah. OTL

I have no idea why they don't have the "get a parent's permission" thing. The only reason I can think of is that maybe because Hetalia is technically rated for a mature audience here in the US, they have to try and not allow for the possibility of a minor winning that prize, parent's permission or not? It sounds silly, but I have seen sillier reasons for wanting to exclude someone from a contest.

[identity profile] xxwolfgirlxx.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah that's probably the reason now that I think about it. XD If only I was born a year earlier.

And now these sillier reasons you mentioned intrigue (did i spell that right? lol) me. >:)

[identity profile] izzyninjajedi.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
HWAAAH I WANT THAT PRUSSIA SHIRT SOOOO BADLY!!!

I'm so excited to see the contest entries! Man I wish I was 18 ;A;

Good luck everyone!

[identity profile] omgimsuchadork.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
HEY DO THEY NEED A TWO-MINUTE VIDEO SAYING WHY I LOVE HETALIA AND WHY EVERYONE SHOULD LOVE HETALIA? ARE THERE PRIZES TO WIN?

not necessarily equivalent to being the biggest fan

[identity profile] lonym82.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno.. if they said it in the video I must have missed it. XD

[identity profile] omgimsuchadork.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
This is why I love you.

[identity profile] avocado-wish.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Why isn't my workplace like this?

[identity profile] jevia.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha. I want to work in that building so badly. xD Or just with those people.

[identity profile] miezen.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
I love FUNimation. That is all.

...Also Char is such a good fem!Pruss ;3;

[identity profile] fmavatard.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Working at Funimation looks just....fantastic.

Anyone else have a bit of a dying fit at the fanfic?

[identity profile] kamikazemusume.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
LOL, I did too. I was already "do want" at the alternate-history aspect of it, but when they got to the part with the leather strap, I just lost it. XD

[identity profile] aspen001.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
I wish the staff meetings at my workplace were all like that XD


"Canada is California too!" lolwhut

[identity profile] kamikazemusume.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, FUNIMATION.

[identity profile] naoekun.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 06:19 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] dorkishgrin.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOL THAT VIDEO.
But yeah, not too awesome at making vids and not of the age so I feel left out OTL
Not to mention the prize list made of godly win (even if it's pretty general) <3 <3 <3
Good luck to those entering!

[identity profile] pandalovesmilk.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 08:09 am (UTC)(link)

or sincerely want me to make video
lol

[identity profile] rosetteroulette.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
THAT'S AWESOME. I love Char as Julchen and OMG, THERE'S A KOREA COSPLAYER. YES.

Wish I could do this, though I probably won't.

[identity profile] disneyotaku.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Proving my love of Hetalia? Prizes involved? Me gusta~
(And I was cracking up over the RusAme fic XD)

[identity profile] disneyotaku.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, but I do have a question. The release forms, do you scan them and send them in or do you send it to the actual company? (not sure if I'm going to be doing this contest or not yet but I'm confused about the forms...)

OH GOD WHY CAN'T I WORK THERE?

I mean, I was never fond of the actual dub but FUNI, stop making me love you QAQ

I WANT TO DO THIS. I REALLY REALLY WANT TO DO THIS.

[identity profile] yumexxxchan.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a strange feeling I've read many rusame fics from that guy, just a strange nagging feeling.

I don't think I'll be making a video since I'm camera shy, but funi sure does run a hard bargain. I mean, loo at all those prizes.

Hilarious video, you're awesome, funi.

[identity profile] natcat5.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do I feel like Scott (Rus/Ame fanfic guy) is the one who writes those hilarious descriptions on the episodes on youtube.

[identity profile] mizliz124.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
If I'm not mistaken, I believe he is. I can't remember where I found out, but I'm about 90% sure that he is.

[identity profile] tokyohottie11.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
FUNI RABU.
And lol I have like half of those prizes.

[identity profile] ceylon-tae.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Pffhahaha! Forget the prizes, I want that character chart!
