Got the Tokyopop newsletter the other day with a picture of some Hetalia merch and a cryptic comment to check their Facebook page on Friday to see news on Hetalia. I can only assume that this news is that they got the English rights to translate the series. Funimation got the rights to the anime a couple months back, and it seems to have made a lot of the fans pretty anxious. This can only make the fans more upset.

While, as I've blogged in the past, Tokyopop isn't the worst translator, but they do tend to be extremely sloppy. I only hope that they keep the APH fans in mind and do a good job for their sake, as this fandom tends to be somewhat ravenous.
