For example, the Italia Veneziano character is into pasta and women. The Deutsche (German) bishi loves potatoes and sausages, and Nippon is an otaku boy. Installments of the manga have jumped back and forth in setting from the ancient times to modern-day geopolitics.


My friend got me into Hetalia recently andd I love it. Way more than I thought I would actually, seeing as how I have zero interest in world history. I know some people on here must like it too since it's so popular right now. :) What are your favorite characters/pairings/episodes/strips/etc?

My favorite characters are England, Romano, America, and Spain, but I sort of love every single one of them. Likewise, I love America/England and Spain/Romano.

excuse me how come nobody is replying :illgetu:

i wish some cooler characters would show up in the anime though because i dont really have a favorite now :(

although i do like mostly all of the allies

Tsubasa Rose 05-04-2009 07:16 PM

I love the Hetalia comics!
I love all the characters but my fav. pairing is probably Germany and Italy lol
and I agree with America/England- they are pretty funny::
I still haven't had a chance to watch the anime ><

TempusBliss 05-10-2009 05:29 PM

Heh. I've heard of the series and when I started to read the translated scans it gave me a few giggles (possibly because it uses actual historical facts in the jokes). Character-wise, I'm a fan of Russia, Belarus, Cuba, etc.

Also, UK needs better tatics in taking out Germany (Russia unknowingly sat in the cursed chair he brought and it broke).

Sorry to reply to this thread like, forever later.

I adore Hetalia. <3 It's my absolute favorite... and drawing fanart for it is pretty much the reason why I exist haha...

xNedra_the_Red_Dragonx 05-20-2009 04:08 AM

I absolutely love this anime. >w< My friend says that Italy and I have the same exact personality. We're twins. xD

AkanePeregrinus 06-05-2009 02:38 AM

I love both the original comics and the anime! I found this fandom like, right after I finished my three main collage history courses, so it was prefect timing for me to still remember a lot of historical stuff which made the comics and anime even more enjoyable.

The way the countries are humanized is awesome, weird and hilarious all at once. XD
Especially the parodies on both past and present events/attitudes and even silly stereotypes of the different parts of the world. X3
lol like, how only England can see magical creatures ( lol the unicorn XD;; ) The US is completely obsessed with hamburgers and Russia stalking China in his panda disguise...

Anyway...lol I hope that this series lasts for a long time despite some of the controversy, because it is just too much fun! X3

Rolling Box 06-14-2009 11:44 AM

I fell immediately in love with the comics and the anime :3

Radioactive Imaginer 06-17-2009 04:57 AM

Hetalia is awesome! I've only watched one episode, and have read some of it. But I absolutely love Russia!!! :D

Heruuna 06-17-2009 10:58 AM

I've wanted to check into Axis Powers Hetalia, but I just haven't gotten around to it.
Looks really whacky and interesting, though.

Saph 06-19-2009 04:52 PM

I just started watching Hetalia very recently. So far, my favorite is Italy. ^___^
It seems like it's getting very popular lately!

pachi 06-24-2009 03:31 PM

I haven't actually seen the anime, but I've played around with my friends as France. xD; GO FRANCE/PRUSSIA MAN-BABIES! WOOHOO! *is shot*

Bane Rie 08-03-2009 12:26 AM

I MUST remember to finish watching this anime! I completely forgot about it for a while.

I love Canada the most, but I have NO IDEA why... I like almost all the characters. Especially England, America, Korea, and France. The rest are just regular like.

And if they are almost all men... how where they BORN? ... Please ignore the m-preg implications if you don't like that stuff (But I do!).

T H O R N 08-03-2009 06:25 PM

I absolutely love Hetlia!

My favorite pairing of all time is Romano x Spain <3
Then it goes
Greece x Turkey
Sweden x Finland
America x England
Germany x Italy
Switzerland x Liechtenstien (what is this hetero foolishness!)
Austria x Hungary (and again!)

And then there's the Bad Touch Trio x everyone

Me and my friend run around as Spain and Romano cosplayers hur hur

Kuuki 08-03-2009 07:11 PM

I'm a fan! And I'm an history geek anyway so that explains things

My favourite are : Arthur (UK), Francis (France, obviously), Ludwig (Germany) and Kiku (Japan, but that's mostly because his seiyuu is Hiroki Takahashi XD)

frogmasterofthefunk 08-03-2009 11:54 PM

Hetalia is my favorite anime at the moment.
My favorite characters are Greece, Russia, Prussia, and North Italy.

Bumblebee 08-04-2009 07:03 PM

Hetalia makes me giggle, especially when I read about how other countries *cough*korea*cough* get pissed off about it. Can't people take a joke?

It's hard to keep up with the anime (trying to read all the subtitles at once), but I still love watching it. Italia is so adorable, and I love Germany. I need to watch more of these, especially since I found a good site that had a whole bunch of episodes.

I laughed so hard when they showed America, because other characters were trying to understand him but he kept eating while talking, and England was getting pissed.

Did I mention that I simply ADORE the ending theme music? It's fun to sing, and it's so upbeat and cute!

Yeah, Korea banned APH just because of being factual yet stereotypical. Apparently, Korea's "boss" had no sense of humor... XD

As for the ending music, I have the original version, Germany's, Japan's England's, America's, and France's versions... Different lyrics, different instrumentals. XD

And there are also character songs. :D

I love Romano's tomato song and Ludwig's Einsamkeit. 8D


BTW, LiveJournal has a Hetalia Community, and it's epic! 8D

Bumblebee 08-05-2009 05:48 PM

I didn't know there was different ending music. o 3o I wanna hear it now.

Satrika-Chan 08-07-2009 04:58 PM

Hetalia?
 
So, does anybody watch Hetalia? Its a really good anime and im addicted to it. its hilarious ^^ If you watch it, who do u like on it? I like russia,america,china,japan, and italy

Nel Tu 08-07-2009 05:01 PM

I've watched Hetalia. My favorite characters are Germany, Italy, America, and Japan. It's a really good series, in my opinion. I just wish the episodes were longer, or that there were more episodes.

Satrika-Chan 08-07-2009 05:04 PM

but on the bright side, they started a second season and a new episode comes out every monday instead of taking months to make a new episode.
