Axis Power's Hetalia
« on: March 04, 2012, 09:59:05 pm »
I've heard about some people who are interested in Hetalia, so I posted this.

Hetalia: Axis Powers (Axis Powers ヘタリア Akushisu Pawāzu Hetaria?) is a Japanese webcomic, later adapted as a manga and an anime series, by Hidekazu Himaruya (日丸屋秀和 Himaruya Hidekazu?). The series presents an allegorical trivialisation of political and historic events, particularly of the World War II era, in which the various countries are represented by stereotyped anthropomorphic characters. The main characters are the countries which made up the Axis powers and Allies of World War II, namely Italy (North Italy in particular), Germany, Japan, United States, England (representing the United Kingdom), France, Russia and China. Hetalia (ヘタリア?) is a portmanteau combining hetare (ヘタレ?, Japanese for "gutless" or "pathetic") and Italia (イタリア?).[1] This is to make light of Italy's domination by neighboring states since the Italian War of 1521–1526.' - Wikipedia

There are 3 seasons of the show

episode 1:

My opinion: This show is amazing! It teaches you world history much more funny as history class would ever do. You learn a bit foreign languages, because sometimes the characters speak in their original language. There is also a bit 'yaoi', but not completely. Three couples are sure yaoi (GermanyItaly, SwedenFinland and SpainRomano, the others are guesses or imaginations by fans. The fan activity is huge, there are cosplay events, amounts of pictures, even stories (e.g. doujinshis). almost 40 countries have been published yet, but fans added some, too. All in all you get addicted to the show, learn something important with fun, understand history better, get to know cultures and languages. Everyday there's something new to find.
