Axis Powers: Hetalia

Hetalia: Axis Powers is a comedy and historical Japanese webcomic which was both written and illustrated Hidekaz Himaruya.
It wasn’t long after that it was adapted for a manga and anime series. The manga started serialization last 2006 and it still continues today with 6 tankobon volumes released so far. The manga was published by Gentosha Comics and made available online.
On the other hand, the anime adaptation was directed by Bob Shirohata. It quickly got licensed by Madman Entertainment, Funimation and Manga Entertainment.
The anime ended on March 2011 with 52 short episodes with each one lasting for only 5 minutes tops.

PLOT:

For the most part, Hetalia Axis Powers foretells the events leading before, during and after World War II. Each character in the story represents the entirety of their nation: their culture, their business, hobbies, and even their likes. During World War I, Germany has been searching for an heir to the great empire of Ancient Rome.
He bumps into Italy who happens to be hiding behind a crate for some unusual reason. Determined to accomplish his mission, Germany takes captive of Italy. At the start of World War II, Italy deemed it necessary to form an alliance with the all-powerful Germany.
The two are later joined by Japan and the three forms a formidable alliance henceforth called the “Hetalia Powers”. Everything was going so well until the day they have to deal with the arrival of the unstoppable Allied Forces: the fearsome alliance between America, China, France, England and Russia.
Overall, it’s a story about historical, political, economic, and romantic interactions and misunderstanding between nations which eventually led to certain important events in history.

CHARACTERS:

Italy is the bright, energetic, optimistic and mostly a sweet young man. He is introduced into the story as the grandson of the late Roman emperor. His rather carefree and cowardly personality led him into relying on Germany to deal with every little thing.
Though he is literally weak and useless in battle, he is remarkably talented in artistry and trade and a good cook to boot. True to his culture, Italy is fond of pasta and pizzas. He uses his irresistible charm to get things done and even charm girls he meet.

Germany is the serious, hard-working, bureaucratic, and law-abiding man. His appearance is the perfect presentation of his personality as the nagging bureaucrat stuck in his ways.
In a way, you could say he can be a tsundere character. Despite how he looks, Germany is actually inexperienced with relationships hence why he tends to go by-the-book which tends to end up in a string of misunderstandings. He is also seen to be quite a neat freak.

Japan is the mysterious, reclusive, quiet and hard-working man. Although he may look as the youngest between the three of them, he acts quite like an old man. He tends to get cranky when others violate his personal space although he did work on it and he is in his own way trying to get used to it.
His curiosity oftentimes gets the best of him as he is seen to take photographs most of the time especially when it comes to Western culture.
Although he seems to be collected, Japan can be scary when he gets angry.

UPDATE:

Since the time Hetalia: Axis Powers got licensed for a North American release, it quickly rose in popularity and got the award for The New York Times Best Seller for two consecutive years.
For the most part, critics provided a positive review for Hetalia: Axis Powers even going to say “Hetalia is an extremely intelligently written anime” and “…something so hilarious, fun, light-hearted and enjoyable”.
March 2010 marks the day when Hetalia: World Series, a sequel to the first one, made its debut with 48 fun-filled episodes. Then on January 2013, Hetalia: Beautiful World graced the television with its 20 hilariously incredible episodes.
Studio DEEN also worked on a film based from the series entitled Hetalia: Axis Powers – Paint It White.
