Anime Review: Hetalia

See the source image

Release date: January 24th 2009 - October 2nd 2015 (6 seasons, 1 movie, several special episodes, a stage musical, and a radio series).

Story: This anime tells the story about the personifications of countries. But mainly focuses on mainly Italy, Japan, China, Germany, France, England, America, and Russia. With a supporting cast including Prussia, Austria, Canada, Hungary, Poland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Southern Italy (a.k.a Romano), Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and many others.

My thoughts: Even though this is a comedy, I didn't find much of the comedy funny. When they make jokes, they expect that the viewer would find them side splittingly funny, but instead they would be like "was I supposed to laugh?". Also each episode is five minuets long. When you are just getting into the story, the episode ends. On the other hand the characters are great (even if they are stereotypes at times) and the animation is colourful. If you are an anime fan then I would recommend that you stream this.

My score: Three stars.
