Hetalia Axis Powers

With the intention of keeping this as comprehensive as possible, I encourage anyone reading to help me find more anime and update the text, particularly of those anime I haven’t watched. You can comment this publication in my profile or send me suggestions/alternative text via PM.
----------------------------------
Para que esta lista sea lo más completa posible, animo a quien le apetezca a que me ayude a encontrar más anime y revisar/reescribir el texto que acompaña a los animes, sobre todo los que no he visto (mandadme vuestras sugerencias por MD). También podéis comentar esta lista en mi perfil.



In 1614, the Keichō Embassy arrived to Spain in their trip to Rome. When they came back after failing their mission, they came back and rested in Coria del Río (Seville) before returning to their country, and some Japanese stayed there to live. In their honour, the surname “Japón” came to be, and that marked the beginning of the good relationship between Japan and Spain, particularly Andalusia... or so we thought. Recent investigations have shown that the origin of the Japan surname doesn't come from the Keichō Embassy, but the feelings of deep friendship between the cultures was real.
Four centuries later, Spain continues to be an inspiration for the pinnacle of Japanese culture, which of course is anime. Actually… there are not that many related to Spain, are there? This stack will delve deep into anime with some sort of relationship to Spain so that you can surprise your friends with some obscure knowledge that they probably will not appreciate.
All of these anime have something to do with Spain. Due to their prevalence, references to paella specifically (it’s rice with things anyway), bullfighters with no further mention to Spain, or the simple appearance of a Spanish flag or the name of the country appearing in the background will not make it to this list. Almost every other reference is fair game.

En 1614, la Embajada Keichō llegó a España tras su viaje a Roma. Cuando volvieron de su infructuosa conversación con el papa, se quedaron a descansar en Coria del Río (Sevilla) antes de volver a su país. Algunos japoneses se quedaron a vivir, recibiendo el apellido Japón y marcando el comienzo de las buenas relaciones entre los dos pueblos, particularmente con Andalucía... o eso se creía. Estudios recientes han determinado que el apellido Japón en España no se originó con la Embajada Keichō, pero el sentimiento de amistad entre ambas culturas sigue siendo real.
Cuatro siglos después, España sigue siendo una inspiración para el máximo exponente de la cultura nipona, que por supuesto es el anime. Aunque, pensándolo bien, no hay muchos animes que se inspiren en España. En esta lista se profundizará en aquellos que sí existen para que puedas sorprender a tus amigos con trivia que muy probablemente no les interesará.
Todos estos animes tienen algo que ver con España. Debido a lo común que es, no se incluirá anime cuyas referencias se limiten a paella (o arroz con cosas, según se mire), toreros sin mayor mención al país, o banderas y/o el nombre España en el fondo de la pantalla sin mayor relevancia. Casi cualquier otra referencia es válida.
