| According to Anime!Anime!, FUNimation acquired licenses of Hetalia Axis Powers season 1 & 2 and Seiken no Blacksmith. Hetalia DVD Boxset volume 1 of 2 will be released at the end of this year and Blacksmith DVD volume 1 will be released this autumn. Both of the titles will be subbed and dubbed in English.

| Cool, really good for hetalia~ Hetaria~ |
 |
| Detroit Metal City next Any dub of this would be hilarious, less they censor it D: |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Yay Hetalia I'm kinda interested in how they'll handle the dub for Hetalia. :) |
| Hetalia =D Just hope the dub would be good. |
 |
| Whoo-hoo for Hetalia! I'll buy this one for sure. :D |

| actually quite predictable... |
| i know that the survey from last year had Hetalia in it, but i never expect they don't mind the sorta "racism" in it (which South Korea made a huge fuss about even if to japan, korea is south korea.) this will be the only anime i will have the whole series of. :] i already got the manga and don't mind if the manga gets licensed, too, mostly since some of the Tokyopop staff love hetalia, but instead of hinting they will licensed manga, they give us "someone license this series!" as in the anime. And now that the anime is licensed, it's one step closer to the manga. |
 |
| I hope you guys in the UK and other countries that Funimation doesn't distribute their titles to, don't mind your loss of Hetalia and Blacksmith. It's not like Funimation is actively trying to kill the fansub community which is often your only chance of watching anime in your native language. Oh wait... |
| A week too late for FAL... |
Kineta said: A week too late for FAL... lol, would've helped me :< Anyways, looks like I have to mass download Hetalia before Funi kills the torrents. <.< |
        |
| In b4 massive fail. Can't trust funi with anything |
     |
Kineta said: ...wasn't even thinking of that.A week too late for FAL... Damn it. |
| oh well.. Hetalia dropped |
   |
| Hetalia~? OH, GOSH YES. /extremely happy |

| What if they dubbed the ending song too, by the country...? |
| Can someone tell me how non-american like me can now watch hetalia? |
| Blacksmith was a poor choice. |

| They probably decided to license Blacksmith before it even aired. I thought it was one of the most likely fall 2009 titles to be licensed back at the beginning of the FAL season, along with Kobato. But after seeing the not-so-positive hype, they should have reconsidered, and attempted to license something with more positive hype such as Nyan Koi or even Kampfer. |
Current FAL Ranking + Previous best::  [ |
| *sigh* Time to download all Hetalia episodes before evil Funimation takes it down x3 Though I still might buy a couple of DVD from Funimation to support the copyright.Though I have to agree with the choice of Blacksmith. They should choose something better. Mouryou no Hako would be really great if they could license or other series that ended and had good reviews. |

| /buying |
 |
| I'll definitely buy the Hetalia boxset when it's released. I just worry about the dub voices...Funimation usually does a good job but their Host Club dub disappointed me severely so now I just worry Dx |
UrbanScythe said: Can someone tell me how non-american like me can now watch hetalia? Well GG subs aren't going to stop releasing the eps unless Funimation sends them a C&D. but other than that, you'd just have to wait for the dvd releases in your area--or find a site that streams the episodes still and when they're dubbed. |
| Hetalia!!!! Yay! It'll be interesting to see if they do the correct accents or not... *adds to list of things to buy* Next season hasn't been licensed but as for 50-52 subs... |
 |
nehnehneji said: Hetalia!!!! Yay! It'll be interesting to see if they do the correct accents or not... ahh I hope so! At least for the obvious ones. I would kill for really bad cheesy accents.<3 |
| Disappointing selection apart from Hetalia, that series could be decent, havent watched yet. Well, I guess Ill get Hetalia dvd and maybe Blacksmith too (I always try to buy the dvds of the series I watched) |

The animation didn't seem so bad and I was like "yeah ok". Then they started talking and the dialogue was just ick with cliches. And as for the people who actually watched it, you don't hear too many kind things about it. |
| blacksmith was poor, true, they shouldn't have smoked the sutff they had when they decided to purchase it I cannot judge for hetalia, because I didn't watch it, but seems like it was a good choice for them o.O lol |
 |
| lol, can't wait to see how Hetalia comes out. Don't mind the ending songs coming out in English since all of them are in Japanese tongue. |

I havent completed Blacksmith yet (got like 3 episodes left to watch), from what I watched, it's boring, I held a high expectation for it at the beginning but was let down by the story. Where does Funimation finds their "most awesome-est anime!!111" list for them to decide which to aquire. I think they should find another source or actually listen to the anime fans. ...I wanted them to aquire Nyan Koi or Kimi ni Todoke instead T_T |

| I approve of Blacksmith. At least this way i can buy DVDs to support it. |
 |
| FUNI will make a lot of money off of Hetalia. |

| wow, what a waste of money, seiken no blacksmith was worst show |
 |
| Thinking of buying Hetalia.. |

|
| OMG. Cannot wait to hear the Heatlia dub. It'd be hilarious! :D |
     |
| Ok, I love HQ Subs so I don't mind. Dubs = ACCENTS!?!?!??! XDDDD The Fandom is big as it is already. So New Pokemon Wave? Will we get another South Korea controversy or Uncut episodes? x] |
| FUCK NO. Logged in after 2 months just to say that. |
