Quote by BlackCat13TrainBUT I really hate what it did to the REAL
history. I love history and the way Hetalia represents it.... :X :X :X I really hate it. They made a mockery of the
World Wars, which is nothing fun... Lots of people died...
Then, no war comedy film should ever be made. Nor any historical comedy, because history is cruel. Historical books with
humour should never exist, and no blakc humor war novels either. Let's take out criminal and spy novels/films/songs
too. Musicians should never dare to write fun lyrics about anything related to history, war or politics, because they
are srs bznss
As you can see, it'd be a totally boring, plain world full of dull people who didn't know anything and took
everything too seriously and solemnly
Quote: Not to mention that some people actually learn history from it,
which is ridiculous... :X Yeah Hetalia represents it as cute and all that but the REAL history is anything BUT cute...
It is good as an anime, but not anything that should be taken seriously... It has only a few historical facts in it and
even they are not represented as they should be...
That's the problem of the fandom, not the series. But actually, people don't really learn history through it,
more like hear first about something there and decide to investigate on their own. Which is AWESOME
Quote: AND if I was an Italian I would really be offended by the
anime/manga... I mean it outright calls Italy a useless country... Seriously it is highly offensive and the authorities
in Italy should forbid it by law AND probably sue the person who created it...
No. If you were Italian, you'd be much more awesome and be like they are, take it in good humour and laugh at it
for whatever ridiculousness and accuracy it has. Also, Italy isn't made of more fail than any other character; the
only character who had few redeeming qualities and a lot of fail lulz is Korea.
Also interesting to note is that the original idea for "Italy is hopeless" came to the author when he read
about the Italian action during WWII...in which they were pretyt useless, actuallyXD
"Also, Russia liked America in the same way that little boys liked the ants they burnt on the sidewalks in the
summer. Only with a little more pizzazz, and outer space." (or "why do they call this war cold, baby, when
it's so hot between us?" xD. America/Russia in a nutshell)
"Is there just something in the water over here, that makes you guys every so often go 'fuck it, let's
have a rumble?'. I'm not touching another one of your big, European, 'bring your friends' wars, like
you're throwing a neighborhood potluck or something. It's not my job to ride in like the fucking cavalry every
time you get into a jam." (America's thoughts on Europe, after the "well, that was pretty
pointless" fiesta of WW1. From "The Chosen End")
