What is with Japan's fetish with the UK?

based

Because they have a lot in common:
-Placed on islands;
-Spend a lot of time for making tea;
-Monarchy;
-Left Side traffic;
-Don't really like US.

Isn't that so obvious?

Why wouldn't they be fascinated with one of the very first western nations to collapse in real time?
Their empire got nuke by one of the western nations almost a century ago so it's just what goes around comes around.

It would be more acute to say they have overall a fetish for Europeans countries with a strong culture like them. Maybe it's something like friendly rivality?

Fellow super shy islanders. Also, mysterious white people, because Japanese are culturally naive.

>island nation
>own "culture" is a just a cheap bastardization of the nearby mainlander's
>extremely proud of it anyway
>spends centuries fighting itself for stupid reasons
>eventually gets tired of that and decides to spill blood elsewhere
>builds an "empire" by attacking massively technologically inferior countries
>gets ass owned to it as soon as someone on the same level gets involved
It's like a mirror.

They were very close allies for some time. The British helped build the Japanese railway network and practically created their navy. Tojo, the victor of Tsushima was educated in the British Royal Navy, In fact, their alliance only really broke down when the commonwealth countries, Australia and New Zealand, who were both extremely xenophobic towards Japan lobbied the British to end the alliance.

Why island faggots like other island faggots. Heh... Total mystery, lads.

Yeah shit I wonder why Australia & New Zealand got pissed at the Japanese.

>I know nothing about history of either country
you are funny guy

British Empire never got properly owned, unless you count by itself.

Because they were yellow. This is peak anti-Japanese racism of the sort you;'d see in Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips I did my Masters on the topic. There was a famous poem that was found in both places: 'Stars and stripes, if you please, save us from the Japanese.' Even back then the US was seen as the saviour from the yellow peril.

"Ruthless Empire that wanted to annex most of the world" describes quite a few countries.

They're split on it.

They both succeeded in their own way though.

Lesser of two evils.

So why is karma catching up to Britain but not Japan ?

They like white people in general and they think the UK and the US are still white.

This. They do it for every significant European country + America. Still waiting for them to develop interest in Australia so I can get a retarded Australia anime.

Karma is catching up to Japan though, they're working themselves to death, having no children and getting nuked from nature itself

Everyone in that picture is a jew

This.
But thinking about it, they probably have some similarities in the shared "island mentality"

Japan understand that if you want something, you have to work for it, they don't believe the world owes them a living like your average Brit does

...

Eldians represent europeans while marleyians+the world represent a multi-ethnic coalition.

Not only do eldians have the most european features (blond hair and blue eyes more often than the other races)

but their history is similar to that of europeans. Eldians are systematically discriminated against due to "colonization" and a supposed "6 quadrillion" death holocaust.

Iunno, France kinda put a serious kibosh on the superpower status when they won the American War of Independence.

Brittain will ally with Russia, you think they gave up their empire for nothing?

If anything, their fetish is clearly for the U.S., as far as GuP is concerned.

Don't forget that Britain introduced the concept of railroads to Japan and they're so hooked on it that they have the best railroads in the world.

dosen't literally every west country hate russia ?

I didn't know UK's leaders have their own doujin.

It's a shame that Japan adopted the US plug instead of the superior BS1363. It's my only real gripe with Japan when I stayed there because bloody nothing was grounded, and I got static shocks everywhere I went.

You're responding to the wrong post.

Eldians do not represent jews they represent europeans.

Jews were not the only people to ever wear arm bands in fact they more often than not wore badges instead of arm bands.

However the nazis wore a lot of arm bands.

Britain wasn't a superpower at that point, despite American propaganda. It was a superpower after Napoleon put Europe through the grinder.

Britfag from Durham, I can confirm this exists irl 100%

a bit backstory is the city has a UNESCO world heritage site in the cathedral and castle and every god damn summer the city center is absolutely flooded with Japanese tourists. Considering Durham is really just a small scenic town town riding off one landmark and a uni its fucking insane how many Japanese acctually come here

Full English and Full Scottish are absolutely based meals

No matter how much I hate them, I also love them. There is nothing evil about an imperialist with good intentions. England made a large amount of our culture, gave us modern english, modern physics, modern literature, opened new trade routes, contributed to geography. We are still infatuated by the Anglo queen and would like to serve her. There is no greater empire than the British Empire.

Dude, Japan was an expanding hostile empire in their territory with a strongly expressed hatred of the European powers.

They had good reason to hate and fear them, and the feeling was mutual.

Britain is only like the 3rd or 4th most popular western country in anime.

You wouldn't have this problem if you lived in the midlands like a decent person.
Nottingham only gets tourists for Robin fucking hood.

It's not a question of who likes or dislikes them, it's whether they're more tolerable than the alternative, which they are for most of the world.
Try dealing with Chinks for a while and you realize that burgers are by far the lesser of two evils. They may not care much about you, but they at least act like humans.

It was mostly the Canada problem. Canada couldn't reliably be defended without being allies with the Americans. And if the British has pursued closer ties with Japan it would have meant butting heads with America.

>UK fetish
You mean ntr?

And they've fetishized them so far they're basically they're own thing now, like カタカナ語

The midlands aren't real, pick a side already.

I didn't watch that show, but speaking as someone from D&G, it's nice to see it getting comprehensively clusterbombed out of existence. It will not be missed, as it has no compelling reason to exist.

Each Japanese person finds a single European country to obsess over, and glosses over the rest.. For example, Araki and Italy.

>yfw you bomb blackpool , everything south, the west coast of scotland for some reason, but basically leave liverpool and manchester intact.

First off, they have a bigger fetish for Germans. Way bigger. Basically 9/10 fantasy shows are notGermany. Second, why choose a picture from a show that literally sports characters from any noteworthy country on earth?

British people are irrelevant. In anime, in geopolitics, in economics. It's time for you peolpe to accept that and move on with your lives. Nobody really gives a shit about your little island full of inbred subhumans.

Convert to Islam.

I'm pretty sure GuP doesn't have any non-Japanese characters. It just also features an ensemble cast of fanatical [x]aboos.

Fucking normalfaggots with their moralfaggotry bullshit. There's no morality in realpolitik. As to why does every empire fall sooner or later, use your brain.

Retard thread full of retard posters.
The Japanese don't fetishize any country except Japan.
>hurr durr there's like a dozen UK/German/US characters
compared to roughly a million Japanese ones, yeah.
It's also worth noting that when they make an anime about international affairs, history or different cultures it's generally grossly fantastical.

Reminds me of the infamous

How do you think an aggregate of populations end up under one rule?
Diplomatic imperialism is nonetheless imperial

Once again, I thought it meant a powerful country, didn't know that it has to be an aggregate.

thats more France i think

Nah, France has a ridiculously successful and extensive history of kicking the shit out of everyone they share a border with. Japan's mostly been at war with it's ancient enemy, Japan.

but Japan invaded China and Korea

They do though. Constantly. They just do it at nipspoons, and get korean kebabs on the way home instead.
