Hetalia World Series episode 16

Yeah I’m still blog­ging this show.

I said what my plans for with Hetalia back in this post but I’m sure many of those who read my Hetalia posts don’t read any other posts. Cer­tainly not a bor­ing status update any­way. What I’m doing from now on is fol­low­ing the Hetalia subs done by Rum­bel Subs, who also hap­pen to provide DDL for those of you who hate tor­rent­ing. I real­ise that means I’m about 2 epis­odes behind the reg­u­lar releases but that’s prefer­able to raging over the other subs that are avail­able. Now what could hap­pen is that very few people read these posts because I’m a few weeks behind but I’m hope­ful that that won’t hap­pen. The only thing I do plan to change is include a brief descrip­tion of what happened in the epis­ode to remind those of you who are a few epis­odes ahead which epis­ode this was. Hetalia epis­odes have a tend­ency to mesh together in your head any­way, what with the total lack of cohe­sion between them.

Right, enough of that, back to blogging!

This was the epis­ode where: Greece and Japan got angry, France and Spain fought over Chibiro­mano as Chibiro­mano him­self got all sad because his brother was bet­ter than him at everything (except actu­ally being inter­est­ing to watch in the show itself). Then France sent a fat bird on the attack.

(I think I might have fun writ­ing these plot descrip­tions. Abridging the latest Hetalia epis­ode makes the whole thing sound even more ridicu­lous than it already is)

…although, now that I’ve writ­ten that brief sum­mery, I’m strug­gling to come up with some­thing else to say. It doesn’t help that the epis­ode star­ted with Greece and Japan, who still don’t do any­thing worth com­ment­ing on. Chibiro­mano is a bit more inter­est­ing, delving into the his­tory and the eco­nomic divide between the North and South. It’s a phe­nomenon that pretty much every coun­try in the world has. Well, not North vs South obvi­ously. For example, there’s the pros­per­ous South of Eng­land vs the North. In Ire­land it’s the East region around Dub­lin vs the bog land west where grass grows down the middle of the road. While it’s inter­est­ing to look at it from a Hetalia per­spect­ive (the brother who doesn’t get doted on because he’s not as tal­en­ted) it’s not really that funny.

The only really funny part of the epis­ode came from ran­dom­ness. France send­ing his fat, annoy­ing bird out on the ram­page to pil­lage, rape and des­troy. So I decided ‘hey, if Hetalia wants to use ran­dom­ness to make people laugh, then so can I!’. So I cre­ated this.

France’s favour­ite poke­mon is Metapod.

    The next epis­ode with Greece and Japan is fun­nier. It plays out much bet­ter in the manga though.

    Not to men­tion — FUCK YEAH SWEDEN. His voice was so much lower than expec­ted but that’s okay because it’s awe­some any­way. (And bet­ter than in the Ger­man Sim­u­lator episode.)

    Then who has Gardevoir as their favorite?

    I’m play­ing HG at the moment. Caught a Cater­pie but decided to catch Meta­pod just so I can name it Penis. Do you hap­pen to have a list of penis in dif­fer­ent lan­guages? I’m run­ning out of ideas con­sid­er­ing how I named my Soun­ansu Wob­bof­fet “Fuck Me” and “Fuck You.” :I

    Also you have fuck­yeah­pokem­eme on your blogroll but you never really reb­log any­thing on tumblr. D;

    The next epis­ode MAKES FUN OF THE SHOUJO TROPE. Please don’t tell me I’m the only one who laughed at the ‘open­ing’ to the Run­ning Away with Su-San seg­ment. Tbh, I was sur­prised they didn’t sub in his accent..

    AS FOR THIS EPISODE~ The only not­able thing I really remem­ber about it was the fact that the raw never came out, so it forced me to watch it raw on Anime.tv~ Btw Scamp, you can watch the recent subs that aren’t from Rum­bel. No fancy tricks~

    I have a really import­ant ques­tion for u:

    How do you get the shots you want from an epis­ode? Do you use a spe­cial pro­gram that is design to get the screen­shots you want or what???

      VLC player has a quick snap­shot but­ton that I use for my screen­shots but you have to down­load the epis­ode to do that. Oth­er­wise print screen is the only way

    Glad to see you’re still writ­ing these! Even if you’re a few epis­odes behind, I’ll still keep read­ing them.
