User blog comment:Hannadzor/Official Dub: Supporting characters announced!/@comment-2004850-20100707205447

@Icelilly - I hope they somehow jam it in here! I want it~

@Wang Yao - I think it was about how Russia has joined leagues with the other nations and has really changed from his youth. France then goes into...France-land about how much he's changed and taking that cute face comment, ignoring the secret until Russia keeps going with it. A little strangely written, though.

@Ceras - Christopher Bevins could be America. I actually thought about it before, but dismissed the thought. Bevins plays Hamada from Big Windup!, a rather hyper character who yells at many points. It works! I'm not sure about Seitz. Haberkorn...He's Tajima in Big Windup!, another hyperactive kid who could possibly be America or Italy...Not really sure. I think what I enjoyed about both Tajima and Hamada was that, despite their nature, they never got annoying.

Though, this did get me thinking. With the release so close, we'll be receiving a lot more traffic here. Better watch out for vandalism...Also, just a thought...But should the pages for characters be changed to coincide with their country's name, rather than the outdated human ones? Admittedly, the human ones are prone to misspellings and haven't been used since 2008 (at the latest). Everything uses the country names nowadays, and articles for Netherlands and such have none. It makes me believe Himaruya has abandoned the naming scheme. Not that we'd have to remove ally mentions of them, of course--just name them in the lede with something like "Himaruya assigned him the name Alfred F. Jones during a time period where characters were given human names" or some such. It at least would allow people to understand why some characters have them and some don't, especially newcomers.
