Two new promotional videos for the upcoming Ginmaku Hetalia Axis Powers Hetalia: Paint it, White! movie by FUNimation have been streamed on the official YouTube channel of the production company. The movie will be released on DVD on November 22nd, 2012 (tomorrow!) and will be dubbed incredibly, as Shinigami-sama’s ears can tell. Although being an avid dub hater, I have to say that the accents that the voice actors have put their efforts to achieve seem more than natural to the characters and with some minor issue I might have, I can official state that the release is a must.

The first video is a short (just above 2 minutes-long) video interview with the Prussia voice actor Jonathan Brooks.

The second is a short piece of the movie – the Countries invade the invaders! And Italy steals the show… again.

A trailer for Hetalia: World Series 1 has been streamed on the official YouTube channel of FUNimation Entertainment.The anime TV series are based upon Hidekaz Himaruya’s original manga entitled Hetalia – Axis Powers. The 1st part of the series will be released by the company on DVD January 17, 2011 (hence, the “1″ in the title) and those who decide to buy the limited edition of the DVD will get a free present – purple Prussia bandana.

The 70-seconds video is with a limited view-range. I have spoken with FUNimation and they have told me it is because they cannot stream outside of the USA. I have to apologize to everyone who is not from there and cannot see the video, but for everyone else – it is available below. Unfortunately, I have decided to stay legal and not to post plagiarized, illegal or pirated items, hence I am sharing just the original USA video.
