When I saw the first episode, i was dying to write a review on it, but I knew it wasn't fair to write a review after just watching the first episode, so I forced myself to watch the second episode.
Story. 1.
How many times have you heard this story? Some nerd transfers into a new school, he's a loser and doesn't stand out, but somehow he gets surrounded by beautiful women who all want to have sex with him. Too many times to count. The story is overdone, and needs to stop.
Art.
If you look past the girls' overly large breasts, the art
...
is...meh. It's your typical, neon colored hair, big eyed anime, but then the breasts...oh dear God. Yes, I don't mind having a character with big breasts in an anime, but there's a limit!
Sound. 5.
The opening song is cute, but nothing special. The voice acting is okay I guess, but my question is, what woman would want to voice act for this piece of crap?
Character. 1.
The characters are stale, and boring. The characters are only there to flash their panties or get caught into sexual situations. In my opinion, the characters are the most important part of a series, but unfortunately, that's where this story failed.
Etc. These are extra catagories I add to my reviews.
How they portray women. 1.
This series almost makes me ashamed to be a woman. All they do is trip, get covered in (plain) yogurt, and eat bananas in a very sexual way. I know the series was directed towards men, but come on! Not all men are this low!
Fanservice .1.
I don't mind fanservice, but this is crossing the line. One thing a lot of animes do with fanservice is that it's noticable, but it's not over the top. Eiken's fanservice is in your face, and it never ends. It never ends.
Overall, I hate this series. But, if you scrape the crap that covers this series, you do get a cure love story...a very cliche love story. I do not recomend this series to anyone.

I hardly ever laugh out loud when watching anime, but that all changed when I saw an episode of Hetalia: Axis Powers, a webcomic turned anime by Hidekaz Himaruya. The first episode opens up in a UN-like setting, where we are introduced to the characters. The characters of Hetalia are the personifications of countries. The characters live up the their countrie's stereotypes, and act out parts of history filled with gags, laughs, and pasta.
Story. 8
The storyline of Hetalia is very original, and it's obvious a lot of research was put into creating this series. But if you are looking for
...
a deep plot filled with twists, this is not the anime for you. Each episode is sort of like a series of comedic skits, and even though North Italy is suposed to be the main character, many episoded revolve around a new character, teaching us their background story, so there isn't a definite good-guy or bad-guy.
Art. 7
Even though the artwork isn't the best I've ever seen, it fits the series by not being too detailed and realistic. The characters are not drawn like clones where they all have the same body type and head. This series if FILLED with chibis, and when I say filled, I mean chibis are everywhere, and they're really well-drawn too.
Sound. 8.
I think the voice acting is really well done (let's hope the dub can do that too), and I personaly love the background music. The music in the background can range from classical, to marching music, and the ending theme is catchy, and they make new versions of that song sung by different characters (the lyrics are modified to match the culture of that character). The voice actors obviously put a lot of effort into bringing their character to life.
Character 10.
I think the characters of Hetalia were a masterpiece. Each character is funny, unique, and they make me want to keep on watching. Unlike most anime I've seen, there really aren't any characters that I hate. The characters are enjoyable, and put the icing on the cake.
Etc. These are extra catagories that I add when reviewing.
How the series portrays women. 8.
It kind of irks me that Hetalia has a lack of female characters, but (almost) all the female characters are strong and true to themselves. You don't see any of the girls giving panty-shots, or whoring themself out. Occasionaly there's a character that is dependent on a male character, but that's usually history based, but I came to a conclusion on why Hetalia has a lack of female characters; The characters will kick everyone's asses >:)
Fanservice. 7.
I'm not a fanservice type of person, but fortunatelly, the fanservice in Hetalia is purely done for comedy reasons. I was suprised when I found out that Hetalia was created by a man, because almost all of the fanservice deals with the mostly male cast. Now don't get me wrong, it's not a yaoi anime, but there are some characters that can make one think that *cough*France*cough*
Overall, I give Hetalia an 8/10, but a warning, DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED OR CAN'T TAKE A JOKE!!!
That is all :).
