Japan likes Europe and sees them more for their personas rather than their current state. France is artistic and beautiful, Germany is cheerful and covered in liederhosen, and Italy is full of delicious food and old monuments.

I don't think it's just Germany, they're pretty much fascinated by anything foreign (they do have histories with America and the Netherlands after all)

They have a lot in common. Both have a very violent history, both have a reputation of being hard working etc.

Germans used cool clothes and were chuuni as fuck once. Things that Japan like.

Also, the whole blonde of blue eyes is exotic for them.

>>143029022
The german case there seems to be them following strict order of apperance (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) rather than the Japanese self-sorting between males and females (as that would be "sexist") while US, France and Australia are all over the place.

Shame the German's text next to the results is unreadable though, they seem to have explained their reasoning.
>>
>>143029359
>What does this say?
"Which country do you hail from".

The Japanese have organized themselves between girls a guys.

US doesn't sort it like that but it is still loosely organized until it breaks apart.

Aussies fuck up almost instantly.

France doesn't even try.

Germany organizes itself neatly (albeit not by genders) and writes a whole paragraph of footnotes (too small to read though).
>>
>>143029401
Those columns seem to be sorted by the alphabet.
>>
>>143029112
Except they admire the British a lot. And have hate/love relationship with the US.
>>143029365
They should honestly talk about the Firebombing more if they want something really negative.
As for uniforms I always like the British ones for some reason the most.
>>
>>143028446
Do drindls even exist in Germany anymore? I thought they were banned for being too nationalistic
>>
>>143030071
I think they do. People were still wearing them at that thing called Oktoberfest.
>>
>>143030071
They are not banned at all. Most if the time germans wear them at the Oktoberfest, but occasionally at other events.
As much as with other traditional dresses.

Japan admired Germany's rising status as a superpower in the early 20th century, rivaling the then-undisputed King of the World Britain in naval and industrial capacities. They liked Germany's efficiency, technological prowess, and military discipline, all of which (with the possible exception of the second) could be compared to Japan's own industrial spurt.

There is lingering appreciation for Germany because they had risen together and fallen together, only to economically rebound and become postwar success stories that managed to preserve their cultural identity - until, of course, Merkel took office.

Also these
>>143029162
>>143029271
An easier explanation is that it's an excuse for Japan to draw girls in cute clothes. They don't like China much but they fucking love Chinese dresses.
>>
Remember that movie The Last Samurai? It wasn't Americans who were drilling the Meiji conscripts, but rather German/Prussian and French military advisers.

It's a point of national pride for salarymen to only drink Japanese beer

THIS.

I'm fairly certain many countries (namely the US) has copied the design. Though you need a perfect body to pull it off right.

They were Prussiaboos when the post-Meiji Restoration army was being developed. The Last Samurai bullshit notwithstanding, the Imperial Japanese Army was modeled after Prussia's, not the US's.

Also, >>143027624, their navy was modeled after the British, they took virtually nothing from the Dutch or the US.

Most of it is bullshit.The average german may not be nationalistic but people saying that flying colours is a taboo (and showing that picture of Merkel with the Flag) are talking out of their ass.
>>
>>143027512
More like, what's up with Japan and Russia?

They were enemies in WW1 and certainly weren't the closest allies in WW2 but I see Russians represented all the time.

Compare that with Brazil, where there's actually some Japanese connection
