The Czech Republic in Anime

Since I am from the Czech Republic, I truly love any references about our beautiful country in anime and surprisingly, not only those I imagine but also the real ones cause yes!!! They actually exist!

Some people might not understand this because for example USA is mentioned almost everywhere. However it's kinda rare to find Czech Republic in some foreign films and other kinds of art. Memorable are moments of Radek Zelenka from Stargate Atlantis. I almost exploded of joy when somebody from Czech Republic appeared in the best TV show ever!

Here's a Czech text in case some of my countrymen find this:
Česká republika v anime! Omlouvám se lidi, ale tento web je anglicky proto tady píšu jenom takový odstaveček, abych nezazdil Česko, když je to vlastně o něm. Prostě tu je pár odkazů na anime, kde je zmíněna, nebo nějakým způsobem vystupuje Česká republika. Jinak...screw it! Naučte se anglicky!

This article can partially be also called Slovakia in anime since both countries share a common history. Anyway, here we go:

Code Geass

I admit this is not very convincing but it's just the beginning ^_^". Well here we are, somewhere....hm on... on the map.

Anohana

Ok, ok it's more or less the same as Geass but...just wait, wait...

Kuroshitsuji

See? See? Here's even the name hehehe.

Cowboy Bebop

Nice right? I mean, it's that little badge. It has our flag on it. Cool huh?

Bebop and Earth — Czech badge on Earth in Cowboy Bebop

Higurashi no naku koro ni

Here's another flag. On the TOP!!!

Hgurashi flags — Box with flags in Higurashi

Noir

Kinda old anime but a Czech character!!! To be more precise Czechoslovakian but it's almost the same. We have just split into two, you know like kage bunshin or something.

Monster

Ok, till now all the references were a bit vague. Now brace yourselves cause the most incredible anime comes in. A significant part of this anime is set in the Czech Republic, there are Czech texts, references on our places and even spoken Czech language. Honestly, it's terrible! Respect to the Japanese voice actors, they tried at least. But in one scene there is TV where a native Czech speaker speaks in the news or something. This anime has a warm place in my heart.

So Ra No Wo To

Read the names carefully. Martina Syrovy is clearly a Czech name, even though it's somehow transformed to English. Correct would be Martina Syrová.

Gyakusatsu Kikan

Similarly to Monster, part of the plot is situated in Czech Republic’s capital Prague. I have to say that Prague (Praha) is really well drawn here even with some accurate details such as local companies, texts and signs, mass transportation vehicles and you can even hear Czech language in the tram.

Shakugan no Shana

Special thanks to Rhipeen for this one. A character from this anime called Samuel Demantius was supposed to fight under Jan Žižka, a famous person of Czech history and the leader of so called Hussites.

And another character named Josef Karpíšek who is a coach in this anime. Thanks to H for the comment. Haha I like how this article is starting to live it's own life in the comments. Thanks guys.

Thanks to Rhipeen again for pointing out that there are references about golems inspired by the legend of Rabbi Loew and his Golem who was supposed to live in Prague. There is also a fictional place called Loew Village in the anime which is located in Czech Republic.

Prague band (Gintama)

So I've been watching Gintama, opening running, enjoying the song and then I see....what? Prague? So apparently this band is named after Czech capital city. I have no idea why but they made two songs for Gintama (opening and ending).

Sailor Moon

For some reason Czech tennis player Martina Navrátilová was mentioned in this anime. It was in A New Enemy Appears: Nephrite's Evil Crest episode where Sailor Moon said "Navratilova would be ashamed".

According to the color composition the flag badge in Cowboy Bepop isn't the Czech Republic but the Philippines. I'm sorry.

Hitokage - 10. 4. 2024

I see what you mean but Philippines flag has this yellow symbol in the white area which is missing in Bebop. I still believe that Czech might have been the inspiration for the badge. But thanks for pointing that out. You might be right.

Začal jsem koukat na Monster a stále nemůžu nadšením uvěřit, že v openingu je za okny 511 Kinderheim česky sdělena zpráva, která je důležitým prostředkem pro celé toto mistrovské dílo. I have started watching Monster and I still can't believe, that the message included in the opening behind the window of 511 Kinderheim which is basically an essential part of this master piece, is written in czech.

Hitokage - 7. 2. 2021

Yea that anime is brilliant! Celkově mě tam ta čeština dostala :D

Hitokage - 26. 2. 2019

Pridano! :-)

Xaira - 5. 7. 2018

Sorry, just asking out of curiosity and because I couldn't remember, but years ago when I first watched Monster there was this episode where the TV news were talking about an attack or a murder I don't remember but they were speaking in a different language (not Japanese) do you know if it was Czech?, because I was fascinated by the sound but never new what language it was.

Hitokage - 6. 7. 2018

Yes I know exactly what you mean! It was Czech indeed and that was probably the only scene where it was spoken by a native speaker. The rest was performed by Japanese voice actors and honestly, it sounded quite funny.

xeoniios - 18. 5. 2018

If you love czech references, there is one hussite in Shakugan no Shana, and in Soul Eater they come to Bohemia to defeat some golems.

Thank you very much! I didn't know these. Can you tell me where was the Bohemia reference (at least the episode)? I can't find anything about it.

Oh, yeah didnt reply because I am nit really paying attention to anything. I see you found it yourself, well aside from before mentioned Soul Eater, there is more I remembered: there is full episode or two in D.Gray-man, there is czech name Nov

Oh ye, the Soul Eater episode is 26, its even explicitly said they are heading to "czecho" well basicaly bohemia to deal with golems (whenever its something with golems it usually is inspired with the legend about Prague golem with the words EMETH and METH etc talking about golem with EMETH... in anime Campione! in episode 6 there is one minor enemy golem with these words and is defeated by cutting the "E" of "E"METH out, same as the legend)

In Jojo's Bizzare Adventure: Battle Tendency there's a pretty acurate map showing the german ocupation of our borders. I think it was either when Josef was heading to the german base in Mexico or the episode where he met Caesar. Araki does his research!

Thanks, added! If you find out where exactly it was I can update that!
