THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
ahaha, I loved the Italian's "PASTA". The portrayal of the American was pretty funny too.



btw, I'm pretty sure this is 5 min/episode, not 8.

Yay! The first episode is out! \o/

The anime looks a lot better than I expected. Like some people commented on the LJ community, the coloring is pretty similar to Himaruya's style, which is good thing. The animation was nice too.

World Reunion
So far I liked all the voices, almost all quite close to what I've thought while reading the manga. Russia's is more adorable than I've imagined, but it fits him well (because it's still creepy XD). China's a bit to girly, but all the "aru"s were done very well, so it's ok for me XD

My fav line definitely is...
PASTAAAAA~~!!!
(I'm amazed how this line ALWAYS makes me laugh XD)

And then we start with the first strips of the manga... nice cliffhanger we got with the mysterious box, right? (I wonder what's inside it) XD

Chibitalia Arc
Granpa Rome looks HOT. They kept him young even in the Chibitalia arc, but I can't complain too much XD
Ah... and Chibitalia... WHAT A CUTE VOICE! No wonder why everyone thought you were a girl XD
All the chibi nations look adorable. Maybe HRE's voice is a bit too mature for him, but still fits him. I'll have to see more of him to get a more accurate opinion.

Ending (possible opening in the next episodes?)
Sooooooooo colorful. The song is very "Hetalia" XD, especially with Italy singing it (it was he, wasn't it?). I liked it. It fits well the mood of the show.

Thank you so much for this :)
Aaah, 5 mins is way too short.. whee, it was supposed to be 8?
Germany is a bit scary though, but yeah, then again, it's Germany. (No offense though)

Yay for Italy. Who doesn't love Italy?
(Kind of ironic if you think about it what their role was later on... :p )
Oh well.

Having seen the ep now...

Voices that weren't what I had expected: Japan (WHY SO OLD SOUNDING? I expected like... a kid's voice, TBH), Russia, Poland (I think this is because of the way how in the scans he's translated with a valley girl accent), HRE

SOME PART OF ME DIED WATCHING CHIBITALIA'S CUTENESS. FHDSLAFHSLDJLFKASHDLF

Also, ED is ridiculously cute and addictive and hfdslkjfalsdf;ahsf

So I wasn't the only one who thought that Poland should have a girly voice? XD
Russia's is very kind... but still creepy on its own way... HRE should have sounded more childish IMO.

But I still need to hear more of them.

Italy's voice, by the way, is pretty much what I've imagined :3 (and Chibitalia way cuter than I've thought, which made me happy XD)

(and your sig is awesome. Everyone will be one with Russia!)

Oh hetalia, I love you <3
Theme song is ridiculously cracky love.

Kiku's voice makes me go O_ololwut... so mature...
Poland sounds manrier than I expected, but I think I could get used to it.
Most people seem to think Yao's voice is too girly, but I think it's PERFECT *china fangirl*
ahhh five minutes of delicious, nation-y goodness.

And Vash, oh lord I love you. Bring out your guns an' stuff. So I can love you more.

well, knowing Hiroki-san (Japan's seiyuu), his voice can go from very mature to ridiculously high pitched (Kenji from School Rumble and Eiji from Prince of Tennis, lolwut? XD), so i'm sure we will see that side of Kiku as well :P

He'll always have a girly voice in our heartsxD

anyways...
Since the episode was less than 5 minutes if you include the ended I'm disappointed that they split it into 3 partsxD (the world conference, WWI, and chibitalia)~ I assume this would make it almost incoherent to people who have not read the mangaxD
Would have been nice if it focused completely on the WWI arc to establish the plot... but... PASTAAAAAAAAA xD

The end is so cute though=3
I'm going to have that

I'm quite surprised at how the first minute or so (The League of Nations bit) went. It's scarily accurate.

Roman Empire is lol.

As for Chibitalia.... I'm going to buck the trend and say... meh.
Peace through Superior Firepower!

I agree. I'd prefer more of the regular strips honestly. There's a lot of good material to go through that I'd rather see.

xD I haven't read much of the manga but the episode was sooo cute! I love how everyone acts, I was definitely LOLing throughout it. I just wish it was longer then like 3 minutes...

My favorite part has to be when America talks about building the giant hero xDDD and then Japan comes in with his super serious stereotype voice and Switzerland cuts him off. LOL I think this will be a good series, I need a laugh every now and then. -rewatches-

Well, I have no expectations as to voices since I haven't read it. I do wish the quality were better though. I like how Italy says he loves to draw and I think Italy is the cutest as Chibi; I think that the conference part was the funniest, since I was just a tiny bit confused by some of the Chibitalia historical references.

maybe the 3 part opener is just to introduce 3 story lines (loosely defined)?
