almaviva90After 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
