User blog comment:Ceras SanMarina/Season three!? Seriously?/@comment-1271618-20091213070406

Sweden and Finland's coupling issue wouldn't be surprising if that was the case, though I've noticed the anime staff seems to be inconsistent about what innuendo stays and goes. Some fans thought it was because season 1 was originally planned for TV, but here we are towards the end of season 2 (where it's web-only), and it's still somewhat watered-down.

On MKCs:


 * Canada/Finland would actually be a cute idea (and Finland would probably have more of a presence than Cuba to get one, sad as that is). If a Sweden MKC doesn't happen, that'd probably be the next best thing (or Finland/Sealand maybe?).


 * Spain/Romano would be neat, though a Rome MKC mixed in with Romano's could indeed also work for the relation factor (Germania seems to be too minor of a character to get one so far, sadly). I didn't think about the Habsburg connection with Spain and Hungary, but that would make sense.


 * The Slavs and other Baltics getting their own would be cute. Greece and Turkey would probably be another MKC pair, if Turkey appears in season 3 by then.

I'd love Netherlands and Belgium to actually do something in the manga, even better if that Dutch Revolt storyline finally happens. But it seems that Himaruya (and it's a problem that I can understand) has so many ideas, that it's like you really have to wait it out for him to get to certain things. In this case, introducing all these characters and getting to stories he planned as far back as 2 years ago (if he didn't scrap the ideas).

As for Buon San Valentino:


 * It'd be stupid for DEEN to try and come up with their own ending, but it's happened in anime before. The team doesn't want to wait for the creator to finish, and then you get a rushed and slapped-together ending. I think another likely option though, would be this: They adapt up to the cliffhanger...and that's the final scene of the anime (even if the manga winds up continuing) and DEEN's staff decides "eh let's do some other series". Cue fan rage and debates, all while Hetalia still runs as a series but has yet to get to that ending. I think Himaruya's holding off on it or seeing how long the excitement can go on for.
