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

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

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.
