Hetalia is genuinely hilarious, though the first few minutes can feel pretty chaotic. For first-time viewers unfamiliar with the series, it might be difficult to understand the relationships between the characters. However, for longtime viewers, the show’s style becomes much easier to follow. You really have to read between the lines and pick up on the subtle messages in the dialogue, which is what makes the anime cleverly written. Aside from being entertaining, it also provides interesting information about different countries, their histories, identities, and relationships with one another. It manages to present historical and political topics without feeling like a boring history lesson.
