US Anime Distributors Funimation Entertainment have recently released an English trailer of their upcoming anime movie release of Hetalia Paint It, White!. Honestly, I have never seen anything of this series before, judging from what I have brieflywatched, it looks like a heavily comedic movie with what I suppose would usually be considered a serious storyline. The following is a quick blurb sourced from the Funimation Entertainment announcement:
Alien Invaders. A World United. Weird Goo. LOL WUT?
It’s totally the end of the world in Hetalia Axis Powers: Paint it, White! This full-length flick brings all your fave boys together in modern times with one goal: Drop the bro-hammer on some alien invaders!
The Pictorians have arrived from deep in space. They also have dangly glow-balls on their heads, which is kinda cool, but still. The freaky aliens are using use their crazy rainbow-beam-thingy to paint everything on Earth the same color: white! See, now the title of the movie makes more sense, right? Anyway, if the Pictorians are to be stopped, the Allied guys and the Axis boys – plus some new characters, too – must set aside their differences, unite against their common foe, and hopefully get together for a sweaty work-out to make sure they’re super-ready to save the world!
The movie is due to be released out on the 22nd November 2011 in North America – whilst in terms of an Australian Release, Madman Entertainment has already announced acquisition rights but no official release date as of yet.
