This isn't anything new for Japan. Hitler was once the main villain in a JRPG, after all.


I wouldn't call him the main villain of Persona 2 IS.


I thought that was a screen of Operation Darkness for the Xbox 360 where he is the main villian.


Nah, the screen is Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I haven't gotten around to playing it myself, but I can tell from the character design, the character sprites, and the mention of Nyarlathotep.

Why not? Making everything cute is one of the hallmarks of Japan. Other cultures might not understand it, but cute things is something that most of the people there like, even the men. Its why moe in general is so much more popular there then in the West.

This is wrong on so many levels but if they made a Sengoku Collection style show like this, I'd watch it. If Hetalia can get made and have jokes about gassing Jews, then surely this isn't too much for Japan.

Good God, the worst part about this is Hitler's moe totally looks like a tsundere.

And they seemed to add a little bit of Latin spice to Fidel.

Debasing and ridiculing history greats monster by depicting them as little girls. Sure why not, its not like these "people" deserve our respect.



Side note:

Yeah, I forgot that Japan is soooooooooooo much better and cool than any other country in the world. I love anime and some of the cultural aspects around it, but this moe dictator crap is offensive. I wonder how Chinese and North Korean descendents living in Japan feel about this.
