Why do you love hetalia

However, something always seemed a bit off about the anime series. Of course, Hetalia is not meant to be a school textbook.

Some fansubs do translate everything, which leaves the information intact. But, the viewer has to pause to read them all. For me, the solution is to read more of the manga. The footnotes remain where they belong, typically at the bottom of the page and you can read them at your own pace.

Mentally, there are no pauses or awkward breaks. For example, the story about the American Revolution gets divided up into episodes 17 and I start to actually care about them. I enjoy the notes at the end of many of the panels in this manga as well because of the historical facts.

A lot of the things added are not known in history unless you really dig, but Hetalia makes this interesting nuggets readily available. Th I think the reason I like this manga so much is because it makes history interesting.

There are times when I feel like people may be offended by what is said about their country, but all countries are made fun of, and that's what makes it so funny. America really is a pain in the butt, and I feel bad for Canada! I need to get the anime, and I hope there is a volume three.

Holy Rome and Chibitalia were adorable in the first volume, and this time it was Switzerland and Liechtenstein. And the facts about Liechtenstein actually made me stop reading for a few hours and spend time online looking up information about the country.

It's fascinating that the entire country has a smaller population than my hometown, which I've always considered small at 60,! I just finished. So amazing book. I read it in Russian and it was amazing to read and see what was showed in theanime and what is in the manga.

I am so happy I read this book. I cannot wait to get 3rd book from USA in English and read it like a zombie. And I cannot wait when books will translated into English that I could reserve them on amazon and get faster. I really hope the author will draw even more books and create even more seasons of anime.

I am in the highest madness of He YAY. I am in the highest madness of Hetalia right now. And all the drawings, everything.

In some respects, this was better than the anime, but the anime is much clearer in its art. However, the book does a better job explaining the history.

Mar 25, shay rated it it was amazing. Once again, superb. It made me laugh throughout the entire thing--I couldn't put it down. Absolutely stunning, and great artwork, Himaruya! View all 5 comments. Aug 26, Sophia Colorado rated it it was amazing.

Hetalia Axis Powers Volume 2 by Hidekaz Himaruya is the second volume of comic strips about personified countries in the first series of Hetalia. It is amazing and I can't begin to describe how much I love Hetalia it's just awesome Like the awesome Prussia It just is.

The art just keeps getting better and more characters are introduced in this volume like some of the Nordics and a few other characters at least I'm pretty sure they're introduced in this volume.

Even though the humor in the st Hetalia Axis Powers Volume 2 by Hidekaz Himaruya is the second volume of comic strips about personified countries in the first series of Hetalia.

Even though the humor in the strips isn't for everyone, I would recommend this to anyone with a good sense of humor and a love for history or even just the first one. I also love the little add ins in between sections like the Japan and America-kun parts were adorable even though they only took up like a quarter of the page.

Stuff like that is why I love this series so much. Mar 13, Erika rated it it was amazing Shelves: manga. The art keeps getting better and better. Still funny as hell. Can't wait for Volume 3! Mar 08, Starbubbles rated it liked it Shelves: manga , historical-fiction. I was yelling so much as this volume. It really hit home what I discuss in my major all the time; how does an author, film-maker, educator, balance entertainment and being historically accurate?

I would say that the balance has tipped in favor of entertainment. It was infuriating to read what should have brought historical value to an entertaining or what should have been entertaining strip and have it fizzle with some errorounus "fact. Between being spreading the empire out too far, political curruption, the centralized power of the government collapsing, oppressing people, and money running out, it would have been more impressive if it survived that. It really doesn't take a genius to connect those kinds of dots.

Germania You mean the Gauls? You mean the people that Rome oppressed and refered to as Barbarians? They led an uprising and invaded right when Rome's government was loosing power. I guess a similar comparison would be Spain invading the Mayan Empire during their decline.

So when you think about that comparison, and how no one would consider the Spaniards to be Mayan gaurdians, why would Germania be considered as such? Maybe it was because some did serve in the military. It could have also been that there were cultural exchanges between the two such as both having some odd love affair with ham. Spiritualism in the US It would have been nice if there was mention that senices were very common during the 19th century.

Look into the Fox Sisters for even more ghostie fun. Maple the Flower It's a tree. It's known for its syrup made from its sap , not really its flowers. Honestly, please refer to it as a tree. Just having a blossom does not qualify a plant as a flower. Himaruya makes it sound as if these conversations and interactions were common throughout history.

The UN was developed to open lines of communication and work out difference between nations before it erupted into a massive war. This would imply that communication for various reasons was not happening before WWII. England's Vendetta against France It would be foolharty to side with a nation for the sole purpose of going against a hated nation.

The arguement presented was two different wars and England siding with different people with the only consitiancy being that France was the enemy for each of those wars. England isn't exactly known for getting along with others well. Most people look very short when compared to you. You are tall in comparison to most people. Tall to the point of being intimidating. Pretty darn tall. Your height can can sometimes scare people, if you want it to. Average, but on the short side. Who is your favorite character from the series Hetalia?
