I'm keeping my dubbing-comments in one place before I mess myself up. Hahaha.

What Hetalia Taught Me: (we should make a lone blog post for this...~)

I knew about England being part of Great Britan, but was sort-of iffy on Wales and Scotland. Also, I thought Great Britan = United Kingdom. (My reasoning: United States of America = America. Alt. name.) Something that schools usually skim over in favor of World War II (until this year). I knew...well, general stuff of it, but not the cause of it, all the countries involved, and so-on. Canada, really? Didn't know that... ...If you type in "Special Relationship" in Google, you do get a lot of Hetalia hits... Hahaha. USXUK (Joker) "World is Mine". Luv. Not "kawaii" and stuff, no. Orders, mostly ("That's all!" was the first term). China took me foreeeever to learn. ...I learned that I apparently know how to read French. Hunh. I'm guessing since I speak Spanish... Anyways, I'm actually going to take French next year (though, it'll be weird being the only senior in French I. Hah). I've heard of Prussia, but never really knew about the country's connections to the world wars (or the fact that they spoke German... Hunh). Being a band student, you'd think... I always thought German or English. Hmm. I did NOT know about Spain and Austria. ...Okay, that's a bit of a lie, I knew about Spanish influence, but never knew about Italy being two parts, and Austria (Austria-Hungary?) being involved. That really is kind of sad. I feel really bad. If you're from England, I am so sorry. At least I knew a lot about the Tudors onward...? The bear? Germany mistakes Kumajirou for Kunt in one strip. Okay, another lie. I didn't know the -exact- views, really. Just the fact they we're really pretty bad with our weight, and that we have a serious hero-complex... Which is what Hetalia stresses... what did I learn again...? Three lies. But seriously though, I'm actually reading up on world news. On Yahoo!. Okay, so that's not good. But it's getting there. Example= Us. I love steerotypes. Really. Mean, but hey, all steerotypes have a tibit of truth in them, admit it. Hetalia actually created a community where we laugh at steerotypes and not freak out (much).
 * Sealand. Latvia (isn't that sad?). Holy Roman Empire. Lithuania (even sadder).
 * Exactly which countries are Asian-European (ex. Russia (though that one I already knew))
 * Finally drilled into my head the difference between United Kingdom and Great Britan.
 * World War I.
 * World War II.
 * "Special Relationship" (USA and UK, if you don't know what I'm talking about).
 * Vocaloids.
 * Japanese terms.
 * Country names in Japanese.
 * French.
 * History of Prussia.
 * Music and Austria
 * Italy, both of them.
 * England before the Tudors.
 * Kunt.
 * World's view of America.
 * There's actual news channels other than "The Colbert Report".
 * Steerotypes can actually bring people together.

I really can't think of anything else... I might post again with some more, though. It'll be fun to discuss~
