How I’ve Kept Hetalia In My Life
From the time I first watched Hetalia,I absolutely fell in love with the series.I watch it on a daily basis. Both my deviantArt and my fanfiction.net accounts are full of favorites related to Hetalia. I draw fanart regularly,including a series on dA called “Mochi Doodle” and I can’t stop watching the various fan made videos on YouTube. The writing of fanfiction is also enjoyed;at the moment I’m working on a dramatic story called “Scariest Place on Earth”,which i
all i have to say is…Hetalia has changed my life forever, i know many people have said this and its true..it has :3
Hello everyone at Funimation let me explain to you the reasons why I am excited for The Beautiful World series Hetalia season five. When I first got into Hetalia I tell you I had no clue that it’s was going to be by far one of the best anime’s I’ve ever seen. Every country’s character is amazing though none are as awesome as the great Prussia. All the time now I upload, draw, and collect anything Hetalia related. So please let me be apart of This Grateful Beautiful World Experience ! (=ヮ=)೨ ve~!
Good Evening Michelle with most of Funimation’s Spring 2014 simulcast season having been completed last Friday, with the exceptions of PUNCHIM@S season 2 (ending July 15th), Fairy Tail season 7 (ongoing), One Piece season 11 (ongoing).
We already know 2 of the Summer 2014 simulcast Joining One Piece & Fairy Tail will be Space Dandy season 2, and TOKYO GHOUL but can you please start announcing more titles this week instead of one a day the Monday after Anime Expo which runs from July 4-7
I know I’m suppose to say why I kept Hetalia in my life ever since the 4th season. To tell you guys the truth, I didn’t watch it at first. So this kind of went on until I became the president of my high school’s anime club my junior year. And one of my friends brought in Hetalia season 1. When we got done watching it, I was like ‘Is there more to this anime?’ They said yes, and ever since then I couldn’t stop watching it. And that’s why I love Hetalia and I can’t wait until The Beautiful World.
Right when I watched Hetalia I immediately was hooked on by the time I reached the first episode. My deviantART began to fill up with stories about it. After Season 4, I was kind overjoyed that Beautiful World had came out, but depressed because there wasn’t a dub yet. I kept Hetalia in my life by rewatching and reading the manga, waiting for the dub. It has changed my life. Right after I saw the announcement for the English Dub for Beautiful World, I was overjoyed and hyper by their voices!
If my timeline doesn’t prove why, then I don’t know what would. I’ve always been a history buff and this show makes things easier to teach others the beauty in our past. ^-^ Of course, keeping in mind that if you want to actually make it accurate you have to pause for every fun fact. Point is, Hetalia is one of the best animes ever created and I can’t wait to finally see the dubbed version.
I’m absolutely in love with this really funny anime series full of good looking nations, and it makes it ten times better that i’m a history nerd! My brother shew Hetalia to me and when i first watched it, I fell in love! I write many fan fictions based on this series and some are more popular than others. To be honest hetalia gave me lots of opportunities! It gave me many unique characters to draw and write about! Hetalia actually bonded me with many great friends I have now! ^_^
My friend actually told me about Hetalia, and I wasn’t so sure of it back then. I started to read the comics, but I didn’t really get it, so, on a daily basis, I went onto Netflix and watched as many episodes as I could fit into my day without it changing my schedule, and man, that was one amazing show. But I had only watched the first season! I now read tons of fan fictions every day, and I finally have inspiration for what to write.
Hetalia has definitely made my life worth living.
Since I love anime, my friends always shared “new” anime with me. When I started to watch Hetalia, I thought it was a very original series. I haven’t seen anything like this before! I learned quickly all the characters and was already excited for new episodes, I really was looking forward for them, even Himaruya’s drawings!
I see that the series are starting to change “style” as well, and it came out beautiful! I love the idea
Today, I use Hetalia in my daily life. PASTA is now my fav word :3
Hetalia is such a great anime! Out of all the animes i watch it’s probably my most favorable one. I’m not exactly sure how i found out about hetalia but I remember how excited i was when i started to watch it and draw the characters! I’m super excited for season five because who doesn’t love a shiny new art style? Also that means more comedy packed episodes of my favorite anime boys!~ Hetalia makes my history class a lot more fun! I recommend hetalia to pretty much anybody i meet who likes anime
Hetalia is such an amazingly funny anime. I just found it less than a half a year ago and me and my college friends have been hooked on it and we are currently putting together cosplay for Anime Detour 2015. I’ll be going as America and I cannot wait!!!! Hetalia I feel was part of the reason I survived my Junior year of college whenever things got stressful I would just turn on Hetalia and watch it with my roommate and we would laugh and quote it back and forth throughout our school day.
I have been watching Hetalia since I was first introduced to the wonderful world of anime. This anime has helped me both in school and out, it has cheered me up, when I have gone through sad times, and it has helped me get and keep an A in history. I am super excited for the next season, and so are my new two brothers and my friends who I have shown this anime to!…. PAAAASSSTAAAAA
Hi FUNimation’s team. You’re doing a great work!
I think the main ways I’ve kept Hetalia in my life is by re-watching it over and over again (‘cuz they’re so adorable!!!~) and getting my friends and my whole family at least into it, if not obsessed. I love cosplaying the characters – Italy and 2p!England are my favorite cosplays – and going to cons as a Hetalia character is super fun!! (Plus, I’m pretty sure I put maple somewhere in every sentence ^^) By the way, Happy Birthday, Canada!!~ Sometimes forget you, but you’re still– wait, who?
Ever since I’ve been introduced to anime, Hetalia has been one of my favorites. I’m excited for the new season because i just caught up on the new season recently. Hetalia is awesome overall! This show has made me look at the countries differently and want to speak the languages of my favorite characters. How i kept hetalia in my life, fanart, fanfics, and just the names of the countries reminds me of the characters from the anime.
Um How can I private message you about this…..? Because I have some questions to ask………:I(I’m terrible with technology. :I)
Dear Hetalia creator, I have most enjoyed this show like nothing before. It is so amazing how you put your work into it for people to enjoy it. It is very kind and loving. I hope you a wonderful life and continue writing for others. Thank You!!!
I LITERALLY watch hetalia everyday. And I am the person in the back of history class, laughing whenever someone even merely MENTIONS a country. I have even made it so that in my history notes, instead of writing the country name, I write their REAL names. i have watched as much hetalia as possible, considering that I only have netflix and hulu to watch hetalia on, and I can’t afford a subscription to funimation. I NEED HETALIA. I LIVE HETALIA. I BREATH HETALIA. I WANT HETALIA.
Hetalia actually saved my life this past school year. The summer before school had started my friend introduced me to it and I fell in love instantly. When school started, it was rough, I had so many issues my grades and mental health toke a toll. Whenever I got to watch Hetalia, I always smiled. So then when I was feeling down, I tried to imagine that the countries cheering me on. It helped greatly, so I can’t wait to see the entire season 5, to see my heroes once more. Thank you very much!
I became in love the first time I watched Hetalia two yeas ago. Right off the bat I was entranced by the characters and the ridiculous comedy attached to their personified characters. I was laughing me head off just imagining other situations in which my favorite countries would intertwine and create a comedic predicament. Even now I await every second of the day for an update if any sorts related to Hetalia! I still watch the episodes over and over again whenever I have the chance!
The truth is, I didn’t have to try to keep Hetalia in my life,the first time I watched Hetalia, I knew this anime was different from the others. Hetalia just stuck with me, unlike many other animes. I noticed all the characters are rather happy, not saying they always are, but when I watch it, it makes me feel happy! I think Hetalia focuses more on the future of countries than in the past because we need to learn to move on. Hetalia has made me curious, optimist person and I thank you for that!
Hey there Funimation team! How I’ve kept Hetalia in my life is I roleplay, I write fanfiction, I cosplay, and I do fan art. Hetalia’s always been there for me no matter what It’s helped me with depression and my anxiety, heck, it’s even helped me meet my girlfriend!! I love it with all my heart and I’m so excited for the new season coming out in the dub!! My friends and I love Hetalia to our cores and It’s opened my eyes to the world and all the wonderful things in it. Thank you Hetalia! <3
How i kept my Hetalia bright was by pretending to be a country and spreading hetalia to the people around me, like my family and friends.Me and my friends pretend to be the coutries around school.I draw fanart and make up my own characters that meets Italy and everyone in Hetalia.I made the moshis after watching the mochitalia and a plushie i sewed myself of america.Im so excited for this new season, All the countries are back and in a new style! Thanks Funimation for Hetalia!!!
OMG!!! Fan Fiction!!
I kept Hetalia in my life after season 4 by constantly drawing the characters that appeared in the season. And caring for history in school more because the episodes, which I know by heart, were basically my history lesson for a day. And I’m ready for season 5 because it has new characters, Nyotalia, Mochis, and a new art style! Plus it shows that Hidekaz Himaruya really cares for the fandom because he continued it with another season and more mangas! I hope this anime and manga can go on foreve
I’m excited about Hetalia: the Beautiful World because it’s one of my most favorite animes. It’s hilarious and cool way to learn about history. My friend introduced it to me & I loved it since! I’ve kept Hetalia in my life by drawing my favorite characters and posting my artwork to show how much I love it. I like writing fanfictions and reading them as well. I’ve also watched the all the seasons twice, and it never ceases to make me smile or laugh!
I always loved history. Though sometimes, it would be dull or extremely gloomy. Hetalia changed everything that was sad or boring, into cheerful and funny. I love Hetalia’s perspective on history. Since season 4, I kept Hetalia in my life by rewatching episodes and bringing it into my history class so that everyone I knew could enjoy it. I’m excited for Hetalia: the Beautiful World so that way I can see how the epicness is continued.
Does notify the winners include posting who won?
Where’s the post of where it mentions who won?
Story time, I first saw Hetalia when I was searching for a new anime to watch on Netflix. That’s when we stumbled across Hetalia Axis Powers. I saw the show and clicked on it to read the description. After doing so I thought “I see 3 men the one is gay and another is in the closet lets watch!” So I did and immediately become addicted, so much so I couldn’t stop watching until I completed the first season. I now cosplay Chibi Russia, Lichtenstein, and soon HRE! Have a good day, bye!
