Dammit. I just found out that there are nine Full Metal Panic novels out there. I've read 3, and seen the anime up to what amounts to 4 or 5. Will KyoAni hurry up and make another season?!

Sir, did you not notice that the "Tsar" of Russia is named Vladimirovna Putina?

That alone should make you cry for AWESOME's sake.

If not, then consider the following:

What are you talking about? We already have an anime girl that rules the world in an iron fist.
And her hetrochromatic mooks will crush you if you resist.






I just wish i hadnt lost that pic of her captioned to be a comunist propaganda speech to the /b/ board.
I still have this one tho.

I don't regret clicking. That was amusing, actually.

But I like scaring others in subtle ways.

More likely they just don't give a **** about reality and just wanted to make a lolicon VN with political figures.

I thought it was that, with all the Americanophilia in Japan, they watched the election and thought Americans liked that sorta stuff.

Also, I think their attempt to turn Queen Elizabeth into a loli will be hilarious.

They do that from time to time. I think it's supposed to be an incentive to pay the 10 bucks to sign up.
