User blog comment:Ceras SanMarina/Hetalia dub update: Oh boy./@comment-1271618-20100204155116

Knowing how fandom is, they'll find anything to complain about the dub for, Vic Mignogna or not. The idea of Hetalia even being in English seems to be offensive enough to some. I didn't really want him as Italy, but the people freaking out about him possibly voicing America (which was silly paranoia anyway) got to be too much. I hope he's Switzerland, though that'll be someone for folks to call the dub a "failure" on too. You just can't win some people over, but that's that.

It really is interesting. I'm thinking if we use the old style chibis in any place, perhaps there could be "art evolution"-style sections, comparing and contrasting how characters and the overall art changed over years. I mean, look at images from '07, then ones from '08. There's a BIG leap there. And it changes more and more.

One of Ukraine's chibis got colored for a trading card in Birz, but I don't know if anyone has uploaded a scan of it (Belarus and Russia chibis also got used for cards there too). Austria and Belgium still haven't gotten color, as far as I know. Shame, 'cause I'm curious as to what color uniform Belgium has. Fanartists seem to be split between tan and green for general drab colors, and then some make it black or blue.
