With Hetalia getting World Stars a decade later, I'm awfully curious how we all are feeling about it and it's fandom revival.

Personally, I watched Axis Powers about 3 years ago? At the time, it was an amazing shit show. I fell in love with how weird this anime was. I'll probably watch this simply for nostalgia sake since 3 years ago was a huge time for my life. May find amusement from this. Not really too ecstatic though.

I hope it'll encourage them to reprint the manga and possibly make more merch for it

It's Hetalia, I'll watch. I've never been disappointed with any Hetalia anime content. The MAL description is a hot mess though, what the fuck even is that? Because it's not English. 😆

As a die hard fan of Hetalia for 5 years, I am proud to say that I was about to lose my shit when I heard the news. I read World Stars, and no season of Hetalia had ever disappointed me, so I have great confidence that this new season is going to be just as good as the rest.

I'm excited and scared. I used to be a really big fan of hetalia in like 2013-2014 or so, and met a lot of great people and got new friends because of hetalia, but the fandom is a scary place and I'm scared what will happen when the fandom is revived.

Then again, I can't wait to see if my favorite hetalia related twitter and tumblr accounts get revived too.

edit: My first thought when I saw "new related anime: Hetalia World stars" was: "Oh no, here we go again"

There are strange people in this world. If it is short, it will disappear for several days, and if it is long, it will disappear for hundreds of years. The name and personality changed, and suddenly appeared by someone's unexpected idea. Even though he is the most weird, he is loosely accepted and used by his boss. This is the story of such strange people. (Source: MAL News)


I am interested in why strange people disappear for several days if they happen to be short. Why do strange people disappear for HUNDREDS of years if they're long? Like, not even tall, just long. Like, I'm guessing XXXHolic type of long people when we're talking long. Insert Long People Here.
Even worse but when they come back, only after someone has an idea about them of course, they even have a full on personality change?? But the bosses of strange people loosely (so I guess like reluctantly) accept them and use them regardless... I mean like... use how? Like... sexually? That's deep. And this is going to be a STORY about these strange people who disappear, come back, and get used by their bosses?? Sounds interesting af to me. I'm in.

I knew Hetalia was complex. We're on a whole new level now.

Awww shittt here we go again

Ive only watched 3/4 of the first season, and I thought it was pretty meh for a short form anime. The first volume of the manga was pretty good tho.

I just...we already have the my hero fandom to deal with. I pray that the hetalia fandom isnt revived.

In all honesty I don't have a clue on how I should feel. Personal feelings are related to it, tho.

Hetalia was part of one of the cringiest times of my life. I still hold it in a place close to my heart, but I had to do serious detoxing from it since it was literally the only thing I talked about at the time (the fact that my then-group-of-friends didn't want to change the subject to other anime, let alone other things in general, didn't help either).

When I saw the announcement all I could think was "Oh God, no. No. I'm... not strong enough for this". I spent that night remembering my times as a weeb-y Hetalia fan and cringed myself to sleep.

I will still watch it for old times sake, tho.

Why not. I had a lot of fun in the Hetalia fandom back in the day too. Guess I managed to avoid the weirdos? Can't really see myself going back though, but I'll most likely watch this.

By the way, the fandom's still around. It's a relatively tame fandom now, though it feels a little dead. Now you just have history lovers and some random stragglers who write fanfics, make art, and stuff.
The only thing is that things have been a little slower due to webcomic in Jump being on hiatus. HOWEVER, apparently the webcomic will be continuing in 2021 as well (I'm guessing along with the anime). That's great!

I dunno what you all did in your Hetalia days, but just look back and grow from it instead of constantly finding only shame. Just grow from your mistakes-- or if they're not even mistakes then move on and laugh about it instead.

I think a lot of the Hetalia fandom was a bit younger back when it first aired. I remember a large part of the fandom being in like middle school or they were freshman in high school. That's usually people's cringe period (for some it's longer). While I was no longer within my cringe period, I did understand that people were probably just going to grow out of it as their cringe period passed. I'm a little sad that instead of accepting and changing that people would rather just avoid Hetalia altogether. Like be better than your past self and just enjoy yourself, folks.

Anyway, with every new season, we do get a little revival and then the fandom goes right back to that half-dead state. I think since a lot of people are in lock down still and are bored we'll probably get some more people checking it out, but I don't expect a humongous revival or anything. Would be nice to get more cult members though.

Surprised, but I’ll definitely look forward to watching it! Hetalia’s a fandom I come back to every once in a while and it’s still something I hold dear. I do know that Hetalia had some people who were a bit cringey, but imo they were never a large group.

Hetalia feels super nostalgic to me, it's one of the first anime I watched in high school. I'm glad they're making a new anime, now I have an excuse to rewatch all the other parts and relive some of my nostalgia.

I mean, the most recent anime aired a little over 5 years ago. This isn't even the most surprising anime revival/adaptation that I've seen announced recently, it's just the most controversial I think.

It looks like funimation replaced their dub VA for England, at least.

As a huge fan of Hetalia, I'll watch it without thinking twice. I'm just kinda afraid there will be fanservice like in the other last season... which is the reason why I stopped and dropped the anime in the middle. I'm going to give another chance as I'm curious after a really long time without APH!

hetalia was probably my first anime i watched that wasn't just a childhood anime, it has a huge nostalgia type of feel for me. i think i watched it really early 2018- im scared for the new people entering this fandom bc uh. hetalia is known for having a toxic fandom- luckily that isn't true anymore and i just hope we ca revive hetalia without shipping wars and nazi salutes and just make it the funny shitshow it is. i got so deep into the fandom i can't even leave but since its inactive seeing a new season makes me go crazzzzyyy can't wait for the go fans to come out of hiding lol

Right. About the controversial bit... this might either stop airing or still be airing around the time the (probably not happening) 2021 Olympics roll around. I wonder if they did that on purpose, but I also have a feeling that might not end as well as they'd think.
I'm just pondering of course. Could just be a coincidence with nothing planned. We'll see how it goes though.

And yeah. Can't be havin' child porn. lol
