Any other readers here? I read it for the history and culture jokes, naturally. I also read it because it's remarkably good at being neutral yet also honest. |

I love reading it. Haven't seen Philippines or his Sister yet, but they're supposed to be upcoming characters. XD |

http://satwcomic.com/canada-the-bishie Oh God WHAT Also Adna, if you like this, I think the one anime you might like is Hetalia. It's full of history and cultural jokes, and is done in a very similar style. |

SatW is a great comic. Unfortunately, she hasn't been inspired to update it recently. It's been compared to Hetalia quite often, only her characters are less gay. She deals with countries that Hetalia hasn't really mentioned much. That said, watch/read Hetalia. It is hilarious. |

I'm not that big on Anime, but I can appreciate Hetalia from what I've seen of it on youtube. I need to watch an actual episode some time. |

Actual episodes are around five minutes long, probably shorter cause intro and preview segments. It is on dvd, and on various internets. I think it's one of the few anime where I prefer the english dub over the original Japanese. |

Wheey! I've became a human being!! I am very handsam!

So is this pretty much Polandball but with human-ish characters instead of balls and less broken English? Because I love Polandball. |

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

Pretty much.
From what I understand, Hetalia is kind of like this except it plays the gay up for drama instead of comedy. And has a fandom even less sane than Homestuck's. |

Really? It was pretty comedy whenever I saw it. <_< But then, I tend to like my humour as stuff that goes over-the-top but tongue-in-cheek passes itself off as serious. |

I could be paying too much attention to the fandom in that respect. All I ever seem to hear about is how kawaii uguu~ Holy Roman Empire is and whether America should pee in Canada's butt. |

Yeah, that's just fandom. And really, most fandoms are stupid. Generally - GS excepted because I'm biased - if it's not portrayed in the canon, it's done so for a reason. Unless you're spinning a massively original plot that really informs and contributes to somebody's understanding of the canon and/or characters... I didn't much see the point in fluffy romance/action fics. And if you're writing the epicer kind well, you might as well be doing original work. <_< But that's a whole other rant.  EDIT: but yeah, I saw this even applies for SatW http://satwcomic.com/satw-couples Edited by Saturos, May 11 2011, 08:59 PM.

Hetalia fandom scares me. So, so much. The series looks decent, but not like something I'd be super interested in. But it does have pretty art at times.

It's INCOMPREHENSIBLE. I tried watching it because of that. I got three episodes in before I realized I was three episodes in and I had no [radio edit]ing idea what was happening. |

Hetalia was originally a comic, which was much more graphic than the anime. They depicted wars and battles in innuendo. The hawter the encounter, the more fierce the battle. This is probably why the fandom can be so depraved/scary. That said, holy crap Holy Roman Empire is adorable. There was this one guy cosplaying him at Sakuracon and he was the cutest little thing ever. Also, America was one of the kings in cosplay chess. Britain was one of the other pieces, I forgot which, but he got drunk partway through. |
