the winter system Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I just started watching Hetalia and I was wondering if any other fans of Hetalia were here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pestis the Spider Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) I have to admit that I don't like it. The art is just plain ugly. And I also think that Hetalia is just completely detached from reality. I mean, it tries to make fun of stereotypes fo each country, but then it fails just miserably. Somehow sometimes I have the feeling that the stereotype it attaches to a particular country, shouldn't be attached to that country is what I mean. It is funny at times, but usually it just tries too hard, or even goes to far with the joke (Japanese-style). Maybe it's just not my thing, I guess, my sense of humour doesn't match it. Or maybe I compare it too much with Polandball everytime I see it, because recently I saw a lot of Polandball around internet. Just happened to me. Don't know. xD Edited October 26, 2015 by Pestis the Spider 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdGen Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 The stereotypes they assign are bizarre and seemingly random. The comedy is also overly fast-paced with really shallow barely-jokes. It was originally a webcomic, so go figure. I could only stand a few episodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the randomness of stereotypes bothers me, because that destroys all the comedy the anime tries to create. I can't laugh at stereotype when there is no such stereotype... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
