Hetalia - Axis Powers

When you don't know what you're getting into, the beginnings are a blast, plus the infantile ending theme (which I accidentally know by heart) will get you. You even have a lot of fun at the beginning, each episode goes by nicely, not to mention it's only 5 minutes long. But after a while it loses its charm, although it's still definitely worth watching until the end, because new countries or situations keep coming up. What's a minus for me, though, is the frequent repetition of the same animation (like when the Allies surrounded the Axis). What I do appreciate is the good idea with the ending sequence, with a country other than Italy singing it at times, it's just a shame they didn't see it all the way through and change the animation with it. Such a pure-blooded 3 stars :-) (04/21/2010)
