(On a guest computer with limited access, ffff. But this is great news <3 )

I can't wait. I want to think optimistic for this news, since now the dub's been marred by more controversy from its line changes and the fandom's coming apart at the seams on LJ over who's racist, who's not racist, etc. (that is not to shut down the opinions of anyone, as it's understandable that the changes FUNi's doing are...well yeah, controversial. And the Italy line made me feel uncomfortable, and the stuff going down on flists is making me conflicted about buying the DVD. But crap, fandom D: ). As World Series has yet to be licensed, we can enjoy the episodes as they come, hopefully without hijacks. And hey, it comes out the same date as the Tokyopop release, right? (though I worry on that one's translation)

Norway being voiced by a male shouldn't be surprising, though I had also thought a deep female voice for him too. Glad we'll be getting Nordic strips. I want to hope for Netherlands and Belgium, but since the majority of their screentime was in the "remixed" Chibiromano strips (while the anime has adapted the originals), I'm wondering. DEEN is inconsistent with if they adapt redundant strips or not, after all. I want more of Canada though!

Nekotalia would be adorable to see, and the Poland/Lithuania strips too.

ETA: Don't mind my babbling there, thank you VERY much for posting this. I wouldn't have thought to check the other place, so it's great you made a discussion post :D
