User blog comment:WonderfulAsia/Hetalia English Dub Cast Updates/@comment-2004850-20100717012446

I'm still trying to get used to this page format.

@Ceras - I sorta did a spit take with the Haiti line. At first I just thought it was me mishearing something. Then I kept listening. Definitely one of those "Ah...Maybe there is a line" moments. It really makes me wonder...Would they try and get this on Adult Swim if the opportunity presented itself? It would fit in with the crowd to some extent...

Some people have double-standards. I imagine many who love South Park are currently complaining that the dub is way over the line and offensive.

I wonder if they know about us? While the LJ community is useful, it has a fair share of over-the-top and rabid members. At least here, the atmosphere it much more laid-back. Even if we dislike a voice, we don't jump the gun or act like it's the end of the world (or that Funimation is Satan). Isn't it much easier to listen to feedback when it's objective and not hateful? LOL, though, when she announced that she reads the comments. How many people paled and refused to comment negatively after that one I wonder XD

Basically, we have both subs and dubs. I'll watch both and introduce others who aren't into anime with the dub. One person actually liked the clip with America listing those military stereotypes and calling himself the hero XD The nature of the show will appeal to people outside the regular crowd. They'll laugh at all the stereotypes, both of their own nation and all the rest.

EDIT: Yeah, one thing I do like about the Haiti line was that it definitely didn't bring up the recent events or anything. I forgot to mention that I freaked for a moment, but later became confused by the point of the mention (just because there was no added joke). It makes me wonder, though...Do you think they did it for shock value? In a show/dub like this, hearing Haiti probably makes everyone deeply inhale XD

And that's terrible Saiyan! Gah, I dislike people like that...Ironically, I think most of it's just talk from the few people I hear from around here. More to make themselves seem "manly" or "cool" or whatever because they "only care about themselves and their buddies".
