1. Characters: (almost) Every character in this is a country represented by a human, and it's what you'd expect. But they're really likeable and their individual quirks are too silly not to end up loving. Plus, some of the comedy moments are really funny and well executed. It's very easy to end up with a favorite character or two. 9/10

3. Soundtrack: Hetalia's ending is one of the catchiest and most memorable i've heard so far, despite it being so short. On top of that, it's pretty adorable with their chibi versions marching. The opening is pretty short, but it's also memorable! I can't help but give it all a 10/10.
