kuroxkitsuneX3 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Probably the funniest WWII Japanese web-comic on earth...I can't believe no one has made a topic on this yet but here it goes.... Axis Powers Hetalia (ヘタリア Axis Powers, Hetalia Axis Powers) It was created by Hidekaz Himaruya in 2003 as an ongoing Japanese webcomic and has gained popularity since then, becoming a tankobon (a book), a drama cd, and on Jan. 24th, an anime. Each character represents a country (though they each have their own names as well). The main arc focuses on N. Italy, Germany, and Japan during WWII while the other stories involving the countries/characters' interactions range from past to present. Hetalia comes from the Japanese word for useless (hetare) and Italy. Main Website (Japanese) Index of Scanlations (English) LJ Community (English) Chapter 1 My opinion: It's a really funny (yet true) look on history and stereotypes of the countries. It shouldn't be taken seriously, but it's really fun to read. There were times that I literally burst out laughing. Hidekaz Himaruya is a genius for creating this. Opinions/thoughts/comments anyone?

hakune Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I just got into Hetalia lately. too bad Norway is not in it yet :s I've seen some sketches of Norway. and I have no clue why he's wearing a sailor uniform and have a fairy on his shoulder... none of those is very norwegianish o.O But oh well I better be happy that she even made Norway, hehe and why have sweden and finland and not norway and denmark. arg. Norway and Sweden is just as much involved with each other as Finland and sweden is. it's like only 103 years since Norway were in union with sweden. bah hehe woot I'm babbeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentality Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 HETALIA I love this. I went around showing everyone [my housemates, my friends] this anime and trying to get them into it. I got a few people. It's soo hilarious and especially if you're a history buff, it's even better. This thread needs more love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest noraexnorae Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 THIS. IS. MY. FAVORITE. THING. EVER. I'm sooo in love with Prussia and Russia it's not even funny. I even cosplayed as China once randomly at school it was pretty darn epic. Also, the korean character is so freakin korean hahahaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hwarang61 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My favourite character is Deutsch! Because he is most like me, and I can associate myself with him. Outside of my internet personality, in real life I am a pretty serious guy. I am very organized and hard working, and it is hard for me to make new friends because I lack social knowledge. Asides from liking Germany because of the similaries we share, my other favourite character is Russia. And Canada is awesome too only cause I live here! And although I'm Korean, I have yet to see Korea in the show O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
