I don't know what it is. Maybe it's some deep-rooted Jewish inclination to laugh at our oppressors and our misfortunes, if only to keep from crying, maybe it's just that complex plots combined with hilarity and banter tends to be my comedic weak spot.

But I managed to find Hogan's Heroes on YouTube and I'm fangirling like a mad thing after a mere four episodes. Anyone capable of managing to hide a tank in a set of prison barracks is made of win, and Sergeant Schulz is adorable to the point that I want to give him hugs and apple turnovers.

So...yeah. Lol nazis.

*giggle* It makes me pout, I know. Fry and Laurie have some golden sketches out there.

It is a sensitive subject, but in all honestly, Hellsing itself isn't something to be taken very seriously. It's gotten rather cracky - vampire Nazis says enough - and Hellsing Nazis don't really have the original Nazi ideals. I like the characters because they intrigue me, and there's more to the characters than being Nazis. It's just that people blow it out of proportion sometimes. The instances I saw of people getting grief over the subject were rather ridiculous. *shakes head*

That's what I was thinking.

I do wonder what the Japanese fan reaction was, though. Their country's involvement with the Nazis was a bit different from ours.

I'm not quite sure, actually. I know the swastikas are censored in their media, but other than that I haven't heard much about that issue. I'm curious now. Hmm...

Actually, you're thinking of Germany. Japan can still display swastikas.

Really? Hm, my mistake then. I do remember seeing a magazine advertisement that altered them (joined the edges so it looked more like a diamond). Though, that could have been that particular article alone.

I genuinely have no comment. XD I've dissolved into giggles.

Oh, Japan. Never stop being you.
