So, I have always wondered in Japanese anime/random media why are there always very germany(yes it's a word) sounding words?
It's always like Arise UberKaiserwaffenpanzerschneiderkampfen insert random german gibberish. |

Doesn't TaJaDol's song, "Time Judged All," make use of German?

Besides German and the very obvious English, it seems Japanese media has an obsession with French too. Funnily enough, most biracial Anime characters I am familiar with are half-French, or have some French blood in them.

Kaiser is on pretty much every thing.
Zoids- schneider unit , panzer unit, konig wolf I think there are more zoids as well? Gundam Wing- kampfer o Other mecha stuff too. Also alot of WW2 german weapons but you see very little of actual Japanese WW2 themed items. I love alt WW2 stuff just realized it one day. |

Schwarz Bruder
Gundam Spiegel Sturm Und Drang I guess it's somewhat justified in that he represents Neo-Germany, but he is completely Japanese... |
