HAHAHAH This was good one,I have seen every type of those(even Hitler ones). This reminds that there are very small number of anime parodies that make fun of racial stereotyping.

Aw, God. I JUST finished reading that Cracked article about the Mountain Dew Contest fiasco. About how everyone on the site voted for the new MntDew label: Hitler Did Nothing Wrong.

Perfect timing!

Can't help but wonder if this was in part inspired by a certain recent incredibly popular show... because it's exactly how I feel about a certain recent incredibly popular show.

I'm curious how Japan sees other races. As an average Japanese citizen, you don't intermingle or have interaction with non-Yamato Japanese very often, if at all. The population of non-Yamato people in Japan is close to 3%, including the Ainu and other remnants of other indigenous peoples and all foreigners. Whenever they do something colossally racist, it always seems out of pure ignorance than malice, and they'll have no one to hold them accountable either.

And the misogyny, did Japan ever have a third wave feminist movement?

@walw6pK4Alo:

Given the Japanese view of women in the workplace and politics is pretty far behind other Western countries (which I admit aren't perfect themselves), I wonder if perhaps the second wave in Japan never fully took hold.

Third panel reminds me of Fushigi Yuugi. And I'm not surprised Hitler is related to all of it.

I'm curious as well since I don't have cable or dish and never get the chance to watch a lot of recent incredibly popular shows.

While I don't think I have ever seen "We learned Hitler was right." (Though I hear some god awful OVA from the 1980's like to talk about Jews...)

Some of the Samurai dramas edge on "We learned Nietzsche's was right." Which can be just as creepy when you think about it...

Another good one from "Anime News Nina!" The growing discomfort with the new anime they were seeing was great. The "Hitler was right" thing would probably cause any American fan to give up on a show like that although the stuff before could a warning not to go further.
There have been a number of anime that made me feel uncomfortable for watching it. This is an extreme version of those shows.

Judging by that last panel, 1980s Shou Aikawa is writing that show.

You know... I've been wondering: I keep hearing this form time to time "Hitler was right". About what?
