My friend was telling me about this anime for years and after annoying me forever I decided to give it a try, I wasn't expecting much because I love detailed animation and dimensional characters like in Miyazaki's works. I can't explain why but I LOVE THIS ANIME! Hetalia is by no means a show for every one but it really struck a cord with me as did the other seasons, while this is defidently the weakest of the Hetalia seasons it's still a very enjoyable anime as a guilty pleasure and a quick watch. The episodes are five minutes which
...
I feel is a bit to short but that's not too big of a problem for me.
STORY: 8
The story in Hetalia is, well, to be honest it's all aover the place but they can get away with this due to Hetalia's short time. I found myself entertained when I was watching an laughed at a lot of the jokes which reminded me of something like South Park where at moments the story is serious but most of the time it's rude, immature and just plain ridiculous which like with South Park it's done very well so I liked them.
ART: 6
The art of Hetalia is fair at best, this is the weakest aspect of the show as the animation leaves something to be desired. The characters don't look awful but the backgrounds are primative and look like something I could draw at the age of twelve. The colors are nice and bright and the animation becomes bether as the seasons go on and I'm really enjoying the new style they have given the show. I give the art a pass for some nice character designs.
Sound: 8
The dub of this show is one of my personal favorties and possibly one of the only anime where I would reccomend the dub and not the subtitles. Each country is given an accent which really sets them apart.
Characters: 8
The characters of this show are mostly hillarious, my personal favorites being America, Italy and Russia. The countries are sterotypical but hillarious although if you are easily offended you may want to skip this anime all together.
Overall for me personally I love this series and would highly reccomend it but it's not the greatest thing as a lot of people claim it is.
