Aside from being Axis buddies, what makes Japan wank to Germany in anime? Is it the language?

Do they really wank so much to them compared to other european cultures, or even america?

Japan's education system is modeled after Prussian military schooling, and they have plenty of other parallels (economic boom after a return to liberal democracy in the 60s-80s)

Also the two oldest countries in the world by average age.

inb4 Cred Forums jokes.

They seem to love the countries that came and brought them into the modern era after the Meiji restoration.
Germany, France, The UK etc.

Though why they love Finland so much is anyone's guess.

the german language sounds to them as myserious and complicated as latin for us.

also the whole german dark ww2 past is a massive wankfest for their creative minds

Germany had a pretty huge influence on japans industrialization.

They also got a lot of german loanwords and germany is a popular vacation place for japanese tourists.

Japan just likes their uniforms and nothing else.

>Germany
>Oldest countries in the world

Japan admires the German aesthetic, discipline, efficiency and technology. Or at least, they admire the Germany that existed before Merkel.

>Though why they love Finland so much is anyone's guess.

it's the autism, trips-kun.

It's a country easy to stereotype considering it's past and all, so they use it as source for creating archetyped characters.

>Though why they love Finland so much is anyone's guess.
Finland people are funny drunks but only after several times the amount a Japanese person can drink. It makes them amazing drinking buddies.

Some of those characters are god tier

No, I mean by average age of people living there, not by how old the country itself is.

Merkel is an uptight austerity hawk. How is that incompatible with the popular image of Germany?

He means it demographically.

They want to cherish it as long as it still exists.

Such as?

Please don't say Asuka

the blonde hair blue eyes plus fashion are pretty anime tropy. plus theres the edge factor that draws in chuuni

>How is that incompatible with the popular image of Germany?

How about inviting millions of invaders from a "culture" which is just about the opposite of all of it?

Why is it illegal for Japan to talk about their part in the war? Sure they were dicks, but they were cool dicks. Everyone else besides the jews has gotten over WW2 already, why can't Japan be allowed to get over it as well?

It did more good than bad in the long run for most countries anyway.

>Merkel is an uptight austerity hawk. How is that incompatible with the popular image of Germany?

Merkel single-handedly caused the refugee problem in Europe to blow out of control by inviting the entire Middle-East.

>by average

Did you think there are enough Japans and Germanys out there to have a mean data point?

...

They're friends because two of them have the most old people? What?

>Though why they love Finland so much is anyone's guess.
Similar cultures.

>Merkel is an uptight austere muslim-loving liberal hawk

Ftfy

What part of the culture?

>Though why they love Finland so much is anyone's guess.
elves?

Both people put emphasis on living a quiet and modest life, where you work hard, keep your emotions to yourself and mind your own business. Also, strong bathing cultures.

Memes

Both countries have their people locked in their homes and killing themselves.

...

This. Nazis may have been genocidal assholes, but damn if they weren't masters of military fashion and superscience.

There aren't any elves in Finland.

sure there are, user!

But she is, faggot.

They share a "du are a cog in ze machine und du must sacrifice yourself for ze Rules" mindset. Also WW2.
