Hetalia World★Stars

I first watched Hetalia in 2011, and when I learned that after 10 years, my country, Portugal, was finally gonna get animated, I was ecstatic! It was a shame it was only half an episode, tho.

Everyhting else was typical Hetalia, the jokes, the cute animations... It's great!
I'm just surprised that after 6 years since the last season, they decided to do the series again, but only for 12 episodes.
It's something you watch really fast, it's relaxing, and you learn some cool stuff from it! Totally recommend, if you watched the other seasons, this one shouldn't be left out.

I wasn't planning on writing a review for Hetalia world stars, especially this early, but the surprisingly low rating on the very first day it got released had caught me off guard and had me wondering if it was another April fool's joke for a second. I mean...a 6.4??? Really? And it was also just the first episode, which also happens to be no more than five minutes, so I just find it hard to believe that so many didn't like it right off the bat, and why so many dislike it so far.

I, for one, thought that it was really good. The animation was ... very pretty and smooth overall. It also seems to be loyal to the manga so far, which I'm really glad about, not to mention the amazing theme song that was both catchy and super adorable. The only thing I could think of was the change in animation and unfortunately short number of episodes, but other than that, it was a great first episode, and the other three that followed keep getting better and better, with the appearance of new characters and an improved style of humour when compared to the previous seasons, so I hope the rating goes up soon instead of seeing so many hating on it just for it being hetalia, and cling on to whatever reputation or fandom it had in the past as a basis to why they think it's the ultimate disgrace to all anime that should be taken down, it's just ridiculous at this point.

New Hetalia fan here, binged the whole series in 2-3 days, and I can say with certainty that World Stars is 100% the best season yet! From the start:

Episodes 1 and 2 are a great introduction if you're new to the series, showing all of the major characters along with their personalities and interactions.

Episodes 3 and 4 introduce two new characters and their interactions are just in general very funny ^^

On episode 5 we see the start of the Industrial Revolution Arc, and Arthur being a tsundere as always! Episode 6 got me to ship something I'd never thought of before, so that was great.

My ... favorite so far is definitely episode 7 though. I could not stop smiling throughout the whole thing, Ivan and Raivis were just both so cute! <3

As of when I'm posting this, episode 8 was the last one released, and I also really love it. I move so fast as soon as I find out that a new episode is out! I look forward to it every week!

All in all, great art style mostly kept over from beautiful world, great story and humor as is customary for the series, but it's even better in this season than any other! World Stars made me fall in love with every character all over again. 10/10 Would recommend.

For those who hate Hetalia, I suggest you put your opinion on the fandom and the "cringy fangirls" aside and give it at least a shot, because it's really funny and historically accurate.
