Hetalia World★Stars

I just really love the dub I'm sorry...NOT. it might be nostalgia but it really is so funny and goofy listening to ( a majority) white cast speak in accents and saying the most unhinged things EVER. its just a fun time with unserious situations and history knowledge thrown in a silly way. understandable that its not everyones cup of tea cause lets be real..hetalia is cringe and is one of those weird shows. like its HUMANIZED COUNTRIES???????????? how is that entertaining...? well it is in a very weird way. only watched it in dub (saying this again) and the actors did a good joband the jokes HIT! they're all just silly guys goofing off and not doing their job. ive watched ALL of hetalia except for the movies because id rather die than watch it. they all make me laugh and the characters are lovable. also the character songs hit too like..'IM YOUR HERO' truly changed my life it's so good im gonna THROW UP.! at the end of the day, hetalia isn't for everyone and there's stuff that im not a fan of. (the age gaps.) not planning on reading the manga because I don't wanna. hetalia for me is a anime only situation so im fine not knowing the manga lore. hetalia doesn't have a plot and I really don't mind it, id say its handle well but sometimes people don't like that and that's ok. all I have to say left is that I wish I saw hetalia the musical......big fan of keisuke ueda

It was a massive surprise that a new Hetalia anime series was announced out of nowhere and Hetalia stopped its hiatus in 2021. I finally decided to watch it recently, after regaining an interest in Hetalia after so long. (I was originally interested during 2015-2016.) I was excited to find out how Czechia, Slovakia and Portugal sounded in the anime - Yuichiro Umehara plays Portugal and I could recognize his voice. Episodes still follow the 5 minute format. The animation style is notably different from that of The Beautiful World and World Twinkle due to the massive gap between World Twinkle and World Stars' release. The stylelooks more pretty. I think I remember hearing a remastered version of Japan's theme in one of the episodes. Love how the soundtrack evolved alongside the Hetalia anime series itself. Bulgaria finally appeared for the first time since Episode 27 (which was in Hetalia: Axis Powers - the first season!) and we finally get to see him in the new Hetalia anime artstyle (since Beautiful World)! If the Hetalia hiatus was bad, let's just say Bulgaria's 11 year hiatus was even worse. Also, Vietnam makes a proper cameo in Episode 1 - her first cameo was in a costume in the Hetalia World Twinkle Halloween special. However she still doesn't speak sadly. Kinda like a similar situation to Thailand and Macau, where they didn't have any lines either. I just want to hear how Vietnam sounds like. I wanted to see more out of her. However the series has less episodes than all the previous ones, and half of it was just the Industrial Revolution series anyways. Additionally 4 of the 6 non-Industrial Revolution episodes are 2-parters. (If you combine all the episodes in this anime with its specials, the World Twinkle would still have more episodes. Although, Hetalia Axis Powers, the first season, has the most episodes.) Additionally, China only speaks in 2 episodes, despite him being listed as a main character in the Hetalia series. It's sad because he is one of my favorite characters. There are no variations of the ending theme unlike the other seasons. I love Hetalia music, so I was disappointed to find out that it only had one version. (The character versions of the ending themes dwindled - Marukaite Chikyuu and Hatafutte Parade have 18 each, Mawaru Chikyuu Rondo has 10, Hetalian Jet has 11.) Other than the Czechia and Slovakia character song, there are character songs for the Axis and Allies. So nice to hear them again, but sadly they only released one song for each character and didn't release songs for anyone other than the Axis and Allies. It shows that there isn't that much passion put into this season of Hetalia, especially since it came out of a huge hiatus and Hetalia isn't that big as it was in the early 2010s. I hope Hetalia can once again live at its former glory like it did in the early 2010s.
