Hetalia Fans vs. Funimation Entertainment
It has come to our attention that Funimation Entertainment has received the licensing agreements to translate the anime Hetalia: Axis Powers into English. This greatly concerns a large majority of the fanbase, and therefore we have decided to act as a group in order to prevent Funimation from choosing a poor cast for this series similarly to how they have done so in the past.
We would like to avoid a repeat of several series that have been poorly casted, directed, and otherwise received bad feedback from the fans that has so far gone unnoticed.
We have created this petition to attract the attention of Funimation and the director they have chosen for Hetalia's English dub.
We, as fans, would like to open negotiations with Funimation to ensure that this series is casted and translated in a way that does not disappoint.
We would like to see particular care and attention given to the respective accents of each nation.
We would like to avoid any voice actors who may have difficulty with those who adhere to different choices in sexuality.
We would like as much of the music from the anime preserved in its original format.
We would greatly appreciate it if Funimation refrained from censoring Hetalia due to concerns about sensitive subjects. This work is meant to be satirical, and is intended to step on a few toes.
Funimation listens to the people who buy their products and support their dubbed anime. Therefore, if we tell them what we want they should have no reason to refuse us.
This is why we pledge to collect at least two thousand (2,000) signatures from fans who would like to open negotiations with Funimation to cast the voice actors that WE would like to see take up roles in Hetalia.
Please sign with your name, age and the city you live in. You may also include a link to your website or blog. Spread the word! This is a cause that we can fight for!!
If fans can join together on the same day each year worldwide for Hetalia Day, then together we can move mountains! What's stopping us from seeing this cause through to the end? Join us in the fight to ensure the best possible English language dub of Hetalia: Axis Powers!
