Hetalia World Series episode 13

Wait­ing for subs. It’s like when your his­tory teacher is sick for a week. Except when your his­tory teacher wasn’t subbed, you actu­ally enjoyed not hav­ing to listen to him. When Hetalia is ill it takes you a while to realise…err, I think I mixed some­thing up there.

In a move that comes as a relief to most people, Deen decided upon con­tinu­ity for a change. In a move that will sur­prise pretty much every­one, I’m start­ing to won­der whether stag­ger­ing these epis­odes would have been bet­ter. Yes I know that I’ve blas­ted Deen in the past for abso­lutely no con­tinu­ity what­so­ever, but you never know. The anti­cip­a­tion when a new seg­ment of the Aus­trian Suc­ces­sion might have worked bet­ter than put­ting them in one arc. It would be like the oppos­ite of the Chib­italia effect. Instead of cry­ing in des­pair when another install­ment appeared, your mood instantly perks up upon see­ing Prussia’s manic grin.

Mind you, I think that’s just the blog­ger in me talk­ing because I can’t think of any­thing to say about this epis­ode that I didn’t already say in the last post and com­ments. Eng­land leav­ing the war after beat­ing France was funny if only in it’s pre­dict­ab­il­ity. Prus­sia hasn’t really done any­thing asides from con­tinue his pom­pous arrog­ance, which is cool and all but I said that already. The new part of this epis­ode was Hun­gary, who I hadn’t under­stood the appeal of so far, but this scene was pretty awesome.

Or maybe that’s just the man inside me think­ing ‘holy crap, a women in Hetalia? That kicks ass and seizes vital regions? That’s awe­some!’. Ori­gin­ally I thought Hun­gary and Maria Theresa were the same per­son, so see­ing them side by side threw me for a second. Still, another women in Hetalia. Con­sid­er­ing we’ve had a grand total of.…err…well, there’s Liecht­en­stein, Hun­gary, Belarus and Ukraine that have actu­ally appeared in the anime, so that makes it 4.

And out of the 4 women, 2 of them are Yandere? Good job Hetalia!

    Hun­gary isnt Yandere. She’s actu­ally a fujoushi. She’s only manic here because her hus­band Aus­tria is get­ting his ass kicked. Plus, Prus­sia and her are child­hood friends so she knows JUST how to scare him.. Plus she wants Roddie’s vital regions back so they can get to baby making.

        I always keep a tab with Cart Driver open and I refresh like a maniac. I’m a stalker, ja?

      Yeah, but she appeared for all of… two seconds or so total. Though I guess that is an appearance.

    These are offi­cially one of my two favour­ite epis­odes. I really do love the fry­ing pan­dangle, and see­ing this strip anim­ated made my day.

    There are actu­ally quite a few girls in hetalia, but they haven’t been anim­ated. Frankly I think they should be. *shrugs* ah well.

    Ep 14’s already out and subbed. It scares me.

      For me I can watch the new epis­odes as early as 7 AM on mondays O-o Animecrazy.net has’em as soon as they come out!

      Raws are usu­ally out quickly after it airs on the web (audio in a day after the mobile air date, though once someone man­aged to trans­fer the video from their phone…) and someone posts the sub in an hour.

      I sup­pose it’s that the subs aren’t appear­ing on the usual chan­nels. I wait for Rumbel’s subs because I trust them but it’s clear now that Hetalia isn’t fol­low­ing the stand­erd pat­tern that other anime do. Which just goes to prove the the­ory fur­ther that this isn’t an anime for anime fans

    On the girls of Hetalia… well, Bel­gium is cer­ti­fied to get more screen time in the anime… soon. XD Taiwan was fea­tured in a drama cd, and Seychelles is going to be fea­tured in the Gak­uen Hetalia dat­ing sim. I’m not sure what’s hap­pen­ing to Monaco and Viet­nam, and nobody knows if New Zea­l­and is a girl or boy. There’s 2 strips fea­tur­ing a new microna­tion called Wy, and I kinda hope we’ll get to see more of her.

    And yes, Hun­gary is awe­some. Kick­ing ass and scar­ing Prus­sia in bed. Yeah. (That soun­ded wrong, for some reason…)

      I’ve seen all the girls in fan­art before. Yup, I do a little bit of research about Hetalia out­side the anime and Bel­gium is definately my favour­ite of the char­ac­ter designs so I’m look­ing for­ward to see­ing her

  5. Posted June 30, 2010 at 6:03 am | Permalink

    hun­gary is my new favor­ite char­ac­ter. the end.

    Hun­gary hap­pens to like beat­ing Prus­sia up, they used to be rivals back when they were kids.

    Other than want­ing to see her ex-husband moles­ted by other men, no she’s not really what I’d call a yandere.

      Yeah, it’s definately more Yandere tend­an­cies than full on Belarus-like Yandere

    HETALIA WOMEN ROCK!

    >Kiseki : bel­gium at epis­ode 1 really looks like a boy, so no won­der every­one doesn’t think she’s a girl

    These Aus­trian Suces­sion epis­odes are def­in­itely some of my favor­ites of the whole series.

    Okay, maybe some of that’s cuz I’m a mad Prus­sia fangirl, but still.

    Hun­gary really cracked me up in this because really, that’s pretty much how it went down. Aus­tria was being pum­melled by Prus­sia, Hun­gary shows up, and WHAM Prus­sia takes Silesia and leaves.

    Then, a few years later, a com­bined Austrio-Hungarian force goes to take back Silesia, and the whole mess starts over…OH GOD, EASTERN EUROPE. SETTLE DOWN.
