Hahaha. Oh Japan you so crazy. Wow communism never looked so cute before. Be funny if someone decided to make this into a series. I love the fact that they captured 'Hitler-chan's artistic side. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Excuse me while I bang my head at the wall over how ludicrous this really is.

This disgusts me on so many levels, I can' help but to laugh Laughing

But i'm not sure if I should laugh or cry ,I mean am I really seeing a moe female hitler ...... Yep, Japan has hit the LSD, PCP & various other drugs extra thick this time.

I can't help but think how messed up this is, and not in a funny ha-ha way but, wow this is offensive to so many different types of people way *Historians, people who were oppressed/had set family members murdered by set dictators in the past, etc*

I think, I think I need to go puke now, well laugh & puke, not sure how thats going to work, but....yeah.

Give something enough time, and it's really easy to do. None of you would bat an eye over this being done to Napoleon, various popes, Roman Caesars, or any other pre-industrial historical figure.

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.
