But, what can you expect from personified countries? The only way to give them a personality is to magnify the things their residents are most known for. France and England hate each other, Germany has to bail Italy out every other second, and America is a hamburger-loving hard-head with a hero complex. Germany is a muscley, blond-haired, blue-eyed stick-in-the-mud, Italy is a pasta-loving, airheaded weakling, France practically molests everyone he sees, and has red roses appearing out from behind him at random instances. The characters are extremely stereotypical. Other than that, the background music was acceptable for the scenes. The only grievance I have is that I didn't get any warning before Germany started shouting in my ear at the end of episode 27.

Almost immediatly after finishing my first Hetalia session, I found myself rushing to download it onto my Ipod, along with all the other versions for characters such as Japan, Prussia, England, Austria, and France. The ending theme, however, is a completely different story. But, I will put up with it, mostly because I forget about it until it's blasting in my ears. The beginning 'theme' is much more suited for a moment in 'Star Trek' than a satirical history anime. Another part of the art that I love is the Chibitalia segments. While distracting at times, I believe they are there to separate whatever scene is going on in that frame from the regular storyline of that episode. I find the art of the Hetalia anime to be very cutesyd-up, to the point where even some of the most intimidating countries make you want to go 'AI'm sure all watchers of Hetalia remember the small, pastel-colored, patterned frames they put around some of the scenes. I get that its about World Wars one and two, but that becomes blurred, mostly due to the fact that Hetalia tends to jump around, and focus on many different points in history at random times. It has almost no plot, and what little plot there is has been spread so thin it's barely visible. For that, it has earned my utmost respect as a viewer.
They just never voiced their opinions, while Hetalia has really gone out there and said what everyone else was thinking. (More than one of my family members/friends have received threats from Busby's Chair.) Though it can be found offensive and stereotypical, what many people will not admit is that they thought those exact same things about most of the countries represented here. Having a lot of time on my hands, I ended up watching thirty episodes in one day. The first rapid-fire scene, I found it to be extremely enjoyable. About a month later, I decided that I would really try to watch the anime. After a minute or two, I decided, 'Screw this, I'm going to sleep'.
Upon finding the first episode, I had to pause it every few seconds to read what they were saying, because it was going by so fast. Now, this was at three in the morning, mind you, and I didn't feel like reading the manga, so I searched for the anime.
When I first heard of this series, it was from my anime-obsessed friend, who had recently turned me over to anime and manga.
