| Hetalia's premise is one that can be amusing...for about 5 minutes. The fact that they've turned it into a gigantic franchise just makes me physically ill. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| Nah for me. Tried a few episodes a few years ago but couldn't get into it. Maybe I should try it again |
    |
| Definitely watch it dubbed. It's much funnier dubbed. If you still don't like it, then just drop it and move on. |
 |
| You should watch it and make your own opinions instead of being a stupid, mindless sheep listening to the rambles of two randies on the internet. |

| It's good imo. Also tons better in dub. It is full of historical references and freeze frames so it is not for everyone. To get most of it, you have to have a certain level of knowledge on world history, politics, country biases, etc... |
| I haven't seen it, but it's made by Studio Deen and even has the term "pretty boy" in the synopsis. Keep these in mind when watching it. Not that I've seen either of them, but a combination of LoGH and Free! seems pretty accurate to describe what it seems like. It's not for everyone so you don't have to force yourself to watch it. For the most part, if you didn't like it at first you usually won't like it later. Digibro has a few videos explaining this along with how he got to this realization. No matter how good other people say something is, if you dropped it because you couldn't stand it then even if you only saw the first episode chances are you won't enjoy the anime. See if you can find any common ground with your friends as recommending stuff that goes against the others' tastes doesn't accomplish anything. |

| Depends on your taste on stupid comedy and not minding stereotypes (as you surely saw yourself) . In the end if the day, I watched both seasons. |

Outside of fandom and the last 2 seasons, Het isn't much of a bishounen anime. I can count on 1 hand how many times the show did anything fanservicey, (maybe 2 if you count stuff that could be easily taken in as fujoshi bait) as the default costume of the chars are uniforms. The pretty boy tag it got is mostly done by shippers pairing x country with x as the anime has a predominantly male cast. |
| think about it...if you see hetalia, thats like 8 anime for your list |
 |
| The hystorical refrences are hillarious and the series is overall funny, it can get boring at time, but it's decent. The fandom, on the other hand... |
 |
| The dialogue is edgier and funnier dubbed eg holocaust jokes. It's not something I could marathon, but I did enjoy watching it every now and again. I often try a series again later and find my opinion has changed. also, this:  |
 |
| I liked it, because I like history and got most of the jokes, but it's not for everyone. Also, the dub and the sub are practically different series. Personally I prefer the sub, because it explains the more obscure historical jokes, while the dub makes a joke about explaining it and doesn't do so as well, also the sub fits me sense of humor more, but that's pretty subjective. |

| Nah, it is so silly. It feels offensive at some points, plus its so boring. Personally I hated it. |
