After a lot of nudging and mentioning from x_reggg  to watch Hetalia, I finally made myself watch the first three episodes.

I can see why it's good for sparking more interest in history but I dunno...the Japanese voice acting and the overly cute baby versions of the countries annoy me. And Italy being portrayed as nothing more than a guy obsessed with pasta and pizza and is an utter coward is too much of a stereotype for my comfort zone. (That is kinda the point of the series, I know but do they have to go that far? And okay, maybe my exposure to Italian after repeated viewings/listenings to opera have made me like Italy more than I used to...) I do like Germany the best, I think though.

I guess I'll never be into anime as my friends are though I can see why they like it! XD

hahahahaah it's not meant to be taken really seriously anyway :P italy i must agree is slightly over-the-top, but i guess that's why there's another italy (south italy) and the other characters seem much more popular :P

glad you tried it tho :) i know anime isn't for everyone, so i'm just happy you did give it a try ^__^

Yeah, I bet you're going like 'Whoa, even CHRISTY has succumbed to the power of Hetalia? I have to go watch this!!!'

But there's no need, lol...unless you really wanted to. I mostly watched it out of curiosity as to why so many people were so into it. XD

exactly! HAHAHA.

i don't think it'll interest me that much tbh although it's supposedly just light typical stereotypical jokes and fun. It might actually ended up pissing me off lol.
