Why do Japanese people like German names?

Because Japan associates Germany with all of Europe for some reason, so Japanese-made fantasy Europe settings (like Fullmetal Alchemist) uses a lot of German.

>Posts the one character in his own series who has a germanic sounding name while everyone has english names

They're just being nostalgic.

because German name is better than English name.

What are the Dutch?

Scum

Sure thing Günter.

We dindu nothin'. Not to the Japs.
We were good buisness partners with them until America and the rest forced them to make trades with the rest of the world.

Forgot to mention the ONLY trade partner at the time. Goddamn I love reading about the Dutch Golden Age.
We need to get our own anime.

wouldn't watch a swamp german anime

As Japan modernized in the mid 19th century they looked for inspiration and advice. All european powers except the krauts saw them as yellow island-dwelling monkeys. The krauts respected them, and the nips loved the Ordnung so much that the classic boys' school uniform is based on the prussian army's. They fought the krauts briefly in WW1 but it's water under the bridge now.
They've only been buddies with Mexico longer than that.

Germany never existed, it's just eastern France.

It would be about people from a little country conquering the seas and outsmarting the big strong nations, bullying the Spanish.
Collecting and distributing spices.
An underdog story with sea, ships and trade. Maybe have some cute mermaid as waifu bait that swims with the Dutch sailors being a love interest with the captain.

They didn't got to see first hand the darker parts of the Nazis the same way the Allies did, not to forget they were Gemany's allies for most of WW2. They think the militarist Germany esthetic is cool.

yeah, whatever you say Henrich Otto von Scatandsniff

Swamp Germans

There is no Germany, only Europe.

What are the Danes then?

Because they fought alongside them in a world war a couple of decade ago and German culture had a huge influence on Japan.

This post is dumb on so many levels. Not only was Imperial Japan much more ruthless than Nazi Germany, but so were the British and Soviets.

Snow piglets

me, my name is Heiko

Lesser Swedes

Sounds about right
There is no lesser being than a Swede

no, swedes are the trash of europe

There's no snow in Denmark

*superior swedes

Not true. They were huge Britsfags at the start of the 1900s. They just have an inferiority complex towards European and the hate it.

They like the idea of France.
They don't like it when they actually go there. (nobody does)

Zeke looks like THAT?!

Northern Germans

Come on, Burgundy is pretty nice.

Pronunciation, Hohenheim is very easy for a jap, some might even pronounce it perfectly without the u at the end (Hohenheimu). Compare that to Donaduro Turompu which is almost unrecognizable to the ear

To be honest Donald Trump sounds like a joke name in every language.

They even have a word for this
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_syndrome

interesting...

Dr. Stone? More like Dr. Rock Hard, Kohaku is fine as hell.

the way german pronounces many of it's names sound strong and or unique regardless of what they mean

Eh, the mobile internet sucks but other than that Germany is doing pretty well

That's because people are tricked into staying in the massive city areas. My parents have been going annually for 30+ years, starting with my dad on his own with his bike (we're brit, easy to get there by ferry) and it's a tradition now. We only ever stay on campsites though, and simply by travelling between them during the days we've seen amazing countrysides the whole time.
Avoid anything that's got an official 'rating' of 5 stars, that means it's a shitty cramped holiday park consisting of 90% caravans with fucking noisy kids everywhere.

I know about their France obsession, but I've never really seen much of Italy.

lmao look at this massive cope

germany died 1945, now we are an american colony. just like planned.

Araki is pretty obsessed with Italy

you're a syrian colony mate not an american one

Funny because true

well the Portugueses and Spaniards were the first ones to start trade relationship with them but tried to introduce christianity too, followed by the Dutch, seems the Shoguns does not liked it.

True.

>American colony

French colony that they allow the Americans to use as repayment for all the material they were sent in WW2.

More like France is a German colony that got overrun by Niggers.

I once heard that German sounds like magic to nips, but who knows.

>Tfw you never figured out that ZA WARUDO means the world before watching Jojo.

Dies irae is full of quintessential gratuitous German wording combined with chuuniness taken to the extreme.

Yeah, but that at least still makes sense because of the setting. Fate on the other hand for example.

Ouch

Japan & Germany were allies in WW2 so they share a special kinship.
