I think I just found a new fandom

Well, I've been hearing about this Hetalia: Axis Powers webmanga for some time now, and I've been too lazy to look it up, but I was interested in the concept and what I've heard about it sounds just adorable.

Then I managed to find some scanlations of the first five or so chapters.

OH MAH GAWD

THIS IS PURE GENIUS




Insta-luv here, bb. The Chibitalia extra just broke my heart~

Yeah. Excuse my faggotry. ^^

Ahahaha. I'm kinda half-assed entertained by Hetalia in that "OMG this is so delightfully retarded" sort of way, but I've mostly just been watching the five-minute anime shorts. I haven't actually bothered to read the manga itself much. Just little bits and pieces. I read the Canada stuff though. OMG! I love invisable!Canada (especially in the anime bits, because his voice is just so tiny and unfailingly polite even when he's yelling...fffff ♥)

I haven't gotten to "invisible Canada" yet, but I probably will, soon. What I've heard of him just makes me want to hug the poor guy, though. From what I've seen so far, the anime matches the manga word for word (except for the getting stuck on an island part but even then they are so IC it huuuurts). I just love the random comical history interwoven in it. It makes it funnier, somehow.

He's precious. I can't remember what episode of the anime he first showed up in (I wanna say around ten or so, and then it was just barely) but 35 had a bunch more and I just flailed around in delight. He's adorable. It's all adorable, really.

Fffff, doesn't he always get compared to America or something? XD

I think I just fell in love with the theme song. It's so stupid, but...I can actually read some subtext in it...but but but...it's just so adorable~

Canada's either getting mistaken for America or just generally ignored. There's scanlations of it here (although there appears to be a set of pannels missing. :\)

the number of times that theme song gets stuck in my head.... at work even, I don't want to talk about it. And the subtext... bawww. ♥ XD

Oh, Canada. I think I'll like him~

I swear to god Italy's the one singing it. It's adorable.

I'm pretty sure it is, because at about episode 26 there's an alternate one with Germany and then a little later on there's one with Japan too. It's just... ugh... to cute.

...fffff. I'm only on episode 7 now. D:

But but but I adore the Little Italy/Chibitaila shorts at the end. That part of the manga broke my heart, and seeing it animated just makes me want to hug little Italy right there. l3

...also, why does Anime!Germany's design keep reminding me of Juumonji? I swear, I think they even sound the same...lololololol

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. OH GOD HE DOES. XD Why'd you have to say that, now it's going to be in my head forever.
