(frozen comment) Re: 151
Exactly.
I don't think there's any necessity for it to be done under the Hetalia franchise.
It's not strictly necessary, but it would be fun. The APH characters are very memorable, they are really good nation personifications, and a serious APH movie about WWII could be great. As for canon, what is canon? I am not suggesting that Himaruya would make such a movie, I'm thinking about a Hollywood "reimagining", like they do with books and comics.
I don't think the blame for that lies ENTIRELY on any specific revisionism, however: the canon doesn't touch on the atrocities of anyone, not just Japan.
Exactly. APH portrays Germany and Japan as harmless as, say, Italy and Iceland. The main beneficiaries of this portrayal by far are the ex-Axis revisionists. Also, *one* character in APH *is* portrayed as dangerous & scary. It just happens to be Russia. A nice coincidence, hm?
Now, this approach of Himaruya's is what I call mature. Not in a good way, but mature it is. He's doing work for his country the way he thinks is right. He's not (just) playing games. And the results are thus, here is a story I was told: an American schoolgirl, an APH fan, says she hates her history teacher for making her hate the Axis powers. Himaruya did a great revisionist job on that girl's mind. Not even a legion of well-meaning educators could repair the damage he's done. That's what I call solid work. Evil, but solid.
In time, I hope to hope, Japan will admit to atrocities: and so will everyone else.
Actually, everyone else has already admitted to them, including Russia. However, nobody ever progresses past it. Look how inflammatory this stuff is even now, in 2010.
