hetalia was a great anime, it made me laugh and cry and it was just pefect in every way. hetalia is based on world war 2 history and the characters in it and their stories too, but its not as boring as history may seem. it gives history a whole new light and makes it so much more entertaining and lovable. hetalia is based mainly on ww2 like said before and also one of the main charactes called Italy. it focuses around him and what went on during ww2, hetalia also has a variety of other characters that all represent countries who were involved during that period of time as well (ww2). there are two series, hetalia axis powers and hetalia world series, both of which are based entirely ww2 and stories of the other characters too. I loved this anime because it was funny and had a happy kick too it, even though the episodes only run for 5 minutes and a half , the anime is great for laughs and is very enjoyable. there are time where you want to xry in som of the scenes but its an all round great anime and i recomend it to anyone who'd like an anime like this. it does contain very mild bad language but there isnt too much of it. all in all hetalia was a great anime, one that you cant seem to forget because its just so good.
