What CAN'T Japan draw as an anthromorphic character? Operating systems, virtual software, and all the like?

I gotta admit though, those pictures are pretty good, so much so I wish we in the states had something like this. If Hetalia can do it with the world, surely someone can do all 50 states and let the fun commence!

The things they resort to, just to sell their city to visitors afraid of the nearby nuclear and electricity crisis.

If Southern US states are anthropo-moe-rphized, it'd be Southern belles wearing the Confederate flag. Laughing

I think this is really awesome and Akihabara looks really cute! Very Happy

I wish someone could do something like this for various parts of the UK; especially London, Liverpool (my home city) and Cheshire (my home county aka state as Americans/Candians would refer to them as)
