Hetalia Axis Powers: Paint it, White is a movie based upon the webcomic/manga/anime Hetalia Axis Powers.

While the main series mostly takes place around the time period of World War II (with occasional episodes/scenes taking place before that and in the present), Paint it, White takes place during the present day.

Overall, the plot of the movie is what would be expected from this series, silly and fun for laughs. The animation of the movie is relatively the same as the animation from the television series. Normally, this would be a bad thing, but seeing as the movie has random cuts to the series, it actually isn't.

The ... only bad things about the movie are the fact that about 20 minutes of it are footage from the series and the climax takes place upon the infamous island from the TV series as well.

Overall, Hetalia Axis Powers: Paint it, White is a very funny movie and if you're a fan of Hetalia, then you should definitely watch it.

2.22 was a much better movie than 1.11 was to me. It diverts from the plot of the series with the introduction of two new characters, Asuka Langley Shikinami (based on Asuka Langley Soryu from the show) and Mari Illustrious Makinami. The animation is just gorgeous, the plot is compelling, and the end of the movie really makes you anticipate for Evangelion: 3.0.

1.11 was a disappointment for me, it felt like it was just a (mostly) shot-for-shot remake of the first 6 episodes of the original Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series. For Christ's sake, while I was watching it, I could recite lines as they were saying it. Seriously.

Animation-wise, the movie was gorgeous. (And the scenes done shot for shot shows the attention to detail in the original series)
