Sweden, Denmark and NorwayWhen I say gritty, I mean Nazi Germany whipping Poland while trying to persuade Denmark to join them. (for modesty sake I'm not putting that up on here.) Also the terrible typeface choice of comic sans. Other than that, it's a bit more accurate than Hetalia and there a re far more recent subjects like Iceland's Volcano.
Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway
Nice to see British stereotypes are being forgotten about then.
I think she got tried of the British complaining about England's top.
And because it's HJ's favourite. Showing how Denmark is an incredibly safe aka. uneventful place to live.
Overall I like this series. Maybe you've got to have the same view on the humour. Yes it's a little bit racist but at least is a bit more accurate than Hetalia.
The thing about Hetalia is the characters are designed after the Japanese people's views on the world. That and the countries are (for most of the cast anyway) stereotypes of attractive young men in their mid-teens to late 20's.
ReplyDeleteI imagine that Himaruya stuck to the Japanese types because the viewers of his comic were assumed to be Japanese. (Before it became an international cultural phenomenon of course) But with that aside, it’s an excellent idea for there to be gijinkas based on how people of said country view themselves.
