Raylen Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 All the countries were personified as people?? http://www.funimation.com/hetalia/ (Not sure if this is in the right section, but Anime says it's for Yugioh Anime discussion only...)

Guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The Anime section is for all anime, not just the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. The forum description says otherwise because YCMaker is too lazy to fix the description's capitalization, let alone what the description actually says. Moved to Anime. Also, Hetalia is amazing.

Hungary' date=' Ukraine, Belarus, etc, etc.[/quote'] I apparently haven't watched enough of the series for that. I've seen ~15 episodes, and virtually the entire cast so far seems to consist of extremely beautiful guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I remember that. It accuratly shows the countries. Ugh...>_< I'm always kinda iffy about such things.:/ To portray entire countries as people, isn't it VERY probably going to be quite biased? With some nationalistic, pro-contra stuff, just to get the political or whatever views of the creator across? IDK I've never watched the anime... I just saw that little Chibitalia chibi on some sites and people are all about pairing him up with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It portrays them as national stereotypes for comedic effect; this is its premise. The author has done historical research, but Hetalia is mostly too silly to have any sort of biased political subtext or whatever. (Well, I mean, besides the biased political subtext that Germany/Italy is a wonderful pairing, when everyone knows an objective standpoint will show that Germany/Japan is better...)

-Berserker- Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Is this thread old enough to create a new thread or can I bump it? Is this an anime/manga I would enjoy if I am not gay/a girl?Is this an anime I can watch without being judged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 The Hetalia cosplayers at AX 2009 were all soooo cute~! I wanted to take them all home with me x3 Ehhem, but anyways, never really got the chance to watch this series next. I've been hearing that it sucks and that it's okay, so it's not really top of my list. But I'll probably watch it sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Is this an anime/manga I would enjoy if I am not gay/a girl? I know plenty of straight males who enjoy Hetalia' date=' so yes. Is this an anime I can watch without being judged? That depends heavily upon how you define "without being judged". After all, watching any anime at all will likely lead to you being judged by a decent number of people (though perhaps not by a number of decent people, again depending on your definition).
