"I CAME TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH WHALES!"

hazel_belle, you just got me hooked on Hetalia Axis Powers.

Hetalia is a cracked Japanese webcomic view of history, with countries as characters. There's an anime too, but I have not watched it - yet.

So far, I've read the main WWI - WWII story and half of the the extra stories.

It involves pasta, bratwurst, exploding chairs, bad driving, and tearful farewells with panties. oh, and Chibi Italia/Holy Roman Empire is a pretty big ship.

quotes and other info:
- American War Movies: They are fighting the Russians when suddenly aliens attack, so then they band together with the Russians to exterminate the aliens.
- Feeling quite scandalized by the matter, France and Spain would often call out "Stop making passes at Italy!"
-Russia is ONE SCARY GUY. He also declares his hobby as partioning Poland.
- Wikipedia has this under China: He is a big fan of Hello Kitty and tends to end his sentences with the suffix -aru, a Japanese stereotype of how Chinese people speak, however, he replaces the customary -aru with the suffix -ahen, which means opium, when speaking to England, as a reference to the Opium Wars.
