Hetalia fandom in a nutshell

[(Anonymous)]

You're right, OP. It's just a weird form of projection. But the opposite or similar situations also occur. The APH fandom does this all the time. For example, they make England obsessed with Dr. Who even though he's never mentioned liking it at all or even the type of person to care about TV. Then you have America who canonically likes pop culture, but then he's turned into an annoying flanderization where every damn thing he says is a reference or something that gets dated really fast. Then for some reason he's also obsessed with Dr. Who in fanon. And then there's shit where Japan is a hardcore weeaboo despite how the majority of Japanese people aren't otaku at all.

Different interpretations are fine, but when the author really forces it for no reason then it's just sad and annoying. You should have just written a fic for the other thing you liked so much.

Well, it is canon that Japan prefers 2D women over real ones, but other than that, he doesn't seem to reference anime that much. In fact, the canon anime fans [revealed thus far] in Hetalia are France, Taiwan, and Canada. Canada even embarrassed Japan by talking excitedly about Naruto to him! Bulgaria appears to be an Attack on Titan fan, too.

I think England, Sealand, Italy, and America are shown to have interest in ninjas, which also embarrasses Japan.

Japan seems to be very knowledgable about Maid Cafes when he pointed out all the faults in England's 'English Maid Cafe'. Perhaps it's possible that he's a fan? [I can't entirely remember, but I *swear* there was an old blog post that said that Germany was a fan of Maid Cafes. But my memory may be failing me.]

All in all, I don't think it would be too out-of-character for Japan to be a secret otaku but it has to be just that - secret. Very few people would know about his hobbies and wouldn't discuss it very much.

It's a shame that more fanfic writers don't utilize weeaboo Canada, though. I mean, c'mon, he wore a forehead protector and asked Japan to show him how to do a move from Naruto. If that doesn't scream "total weeb," what does?
