So, what, are they going to have a mostly European cast who speaks Japanese? Most of the cast of the comic is European/Caucasian. Seeing a Japanese person cast as muscly, blond Germany would be funny.

I thought you would have been a bit more excited than that. I think it's great that Hetalia is getting an anime adaptation.
Oh wait, it wasn't live action. I was confused by your other news. Live action Hetalia would be really weird.
I was excited for the anime adaptation, but it is kinda meh, or at least the half dozen episodes I have seen. Hetalia is a cute and funny comic, where world history and conflict is made zany and slightly gay. It's no masterpiece, though, and the anime's pacing is all wrong. If you want to read the translated comics, Me and some other people put them here. I calculated that I did about 15 percent of the stand alone strips and diary comics? Something like that.
(I like the fact that indie web comics like tonari no 801-chan, Hetalia, and that Haruhi gag comic have gotten so much cred.)
The new Norton 360 ads are brilliant. There are at least 6 that I've seen on youtube. I'll just post these few here so you get the gist, but the other ones involve Kimbo Slice and have similar alternate endings. And my favorite:
No, I think your resentment of Nine is clouding your perceptions, rendering you unable to see when he isn't actually being a douche. Personally I would much rather have a chainsaw truck.
But a chainsaw truck has one HUGE tank, and that paddle+chainsaw combination has two tanks that need to be refueled more often. It's less practical, no?
Not to take things too seriously but.. A truck is already pretty deadly so many chainsaws don't add that much. It's like a submarine with a drill laser (Godzilla Final Wars) versus a drill wielding giant robot. Awesomeness and practicality often at their best when the idea is simple to grasp.
Just to clarify: I'm going for maximum awesomeness and minimum practicality.

Yes! They play on Hulu often. I love the line they end with: "Protect your chicken from Dokken."
Just finished the final episode of Spice and Wolf II. I thought this series was a little bit more melancholy than the last (which wasn't particularly a plus for me), although I loved the last 5 or 6 minutes of the final episode. For anyone else who also watching the series, did you also think it left room for another season? Hopefully if that does come along it will be a little more cheery.

I want to spend some time in Australia. For reals.
EDIT: Whoa, sorry. Huge image was huge.
Only funny hilarious to me, my roommate, and maybe Joe...
I imagine someone going to make some anime tunes with that.
Also, they say this man is my father, and he constantly lives in my shadow.
Hetalia is getting a theatrical anime film adaptation and Vertical approached for live-action adaptations of Guin Saga and Tezuka's films.

I think the video trying to tell me something. "Yvan et nioj?"
Also: @Viga: Isn't that the same song as this Azumanga AMV?
