-Story-

The thing that I love about Hetalia is that it takes the stories of History, and gives it to the characters, and makes it funny. Hetalia is one of the few Web Animes that I actually find really enjoyable. Most of the story is about history portrayed through the personifications of the nations of the world. Since it is a web series, it has to make due with 5 minutes of time for each episode, which proves to be a great amount to make each episode a joy to watch. The humor is great through out the series, and provides a good laugh into some of history's darker times. The series focuses around the character of Northern Italy, and his friendship with Germany and Japan during the WWII era. It does branch out to encompass other parts of history, and it also deals with the allied powers in WWII also. The humor and satire makes Hetalia a great show.

-Animation-

I loved how each character had a unique look to them, with some of the appearance based on stereotypes of the nations that they represent. Russia is all decked out in all of this winter gear, and America stole Indiana Jones' jacket and put a star on it. They characters just look great.

-Characters-

Even with the great story of Hetalia, the characters are what most people really love about Hetalia, which can be proven with the excessive amount of fan art on the web, especially by yaoi fangirls. (On a side note, I'm tired of seeing America and England together like that). The characters are just rememberable in several ways. They are often based on stereotypes of the people from that country. America is a prime example of this. He talks loud, has an ego bigger that Texas, dreams big, and can be seen eating a hamburger on most occassions. One of my favorite scenes with him was when America was trying to find Japan on a map of the United States, making fun of the stereotype of Americans not knowing anything about Geography. I love all of these characters, with my favorites being America, Canada, England, and Germany.

-Overall-

How can one not fall in love with Hetalia, Its funny and has a whole cast of awesome characters. This is definately in my top 10
