Weird b/c the anime didnt even show in South Korea...
And yea, Sankaku is full of grossly biased and uninformed opinions. Swore off that place when I read people laughing at cosplays and calling them terrible just because it wasn't Asians doing them (wtf?!).

I do not believe it was that serious. I really didn't care about Hetalia itself as I didn't see anything that was offensive. But, the reaction overall was just appalling to me, talking about hating an entire country or talking about bombing it because someone spoke bad about their anime. It was just too ridiculous and absurd for me.
