Hetalia Discussion Thread

[Weisser Ritter]

Shipping is fine but I hate that no one I know save one person likes Hetalia for Hetalia. They like it for the shipping opportunities. =/ I went on omegle the other day under Hetalia to find people to talk about Hetalia with. It's nothing but roleplayers looking for quick smut.Like jeez I just want to talk about the actual series? Can't we do that????

Then welcome my friend, you're in the right thread.

Right now topics are a little dry but once the new season gets started (OMG, ONE WEEK YOU GUYS!!) I'm sure there'll be plenty to talk about.

In the meantime if there's anything you'd like to discuss just mention it. 8 D We're pretty open here.

Omegle doesn't exactly have the best reputation. I know people who show the Rp'ers and screen cap them for fun if they're hilariously bad.

As a Hetalia Rp'er myself, I don't think there is anything wrong with Rp'ing it, but there is a time and a place for it...

^^ Rai has made this our place to discuss the series only.

Is there anything you'd like to contribute? Do you have any head-canon, or alternate analysis of canon? I'd love to hear your theories.

The Hetalia website has been updated with news.

<.<;; Apparently a bookmark and book cover are being released today (Jan 18th).
Book Covering:

And bookmark:

I dunno if I got that right. If anyone else can confirm that it is that would be great.
Whatever it is it seems only Italy is available right now.

Also a release date has been set for the DVD of Beautiful World (Hetalia Season Five). The first of four DVDs in Japan will be available for purchase starting April 24th, 2013.

There will be a few special additions with special features.

On the DVDs there will be:
->Five episodes from the series (meaning there will be 20 episodes all together + four bonuses)
->One unaired episode
->Two recorded songs (on of which will be the new theme song by any given character)
->Cast Interviews
->A special addition card drawn by Hima.
->a special booklet (art book maybe?)
->Picture labels.
->A discount ticket for purchasing another volume (that's the best I could understand what was written).

Vol 2: June 26th, 2013
Vol 3: August 28th, 2013

<.<;; Oh and did anyone else notice the Eiffel Tower on the Splash and main page of the official website?

~*~
Edit:
XD Did you guys know there's a book with molds and stuff for making heta-sweets? XD HAHA.

Oh, the SWEETS book is a book with pictures/recipes that are hetalia based:





Apparently there's also a new Hetalia Birdz comic coming out January 30th.

I like America, but I like the show for the show. I don’t see the need to ship the characters when you can just enjoy the show as is and not worry about which character likes which .

(shrugs) Shipping is just additional fun. It's not like I watch episodes for the sake of finding evidence for my pairing anything.

You can enjoy the show for what it is and enjoy pairings in a separate sphere... = P But of course that's for us fans that aren't crazy, yaoi-obsessed, need to write sex non-stop fans who can see the value in other types of relationships between characters.

True, I suppose it can just be additional fun for those who really care about it. I’d still rather just watch the show for the show though.

Yeah what she said ^
I watch the show for the show and it's great. The shipping's just extra. You can do both.
I don't watch the show to ship.
But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna scream and cry during some scenes over how perfect my OTP is... ninja

This ^^^^^

The bookmark that they previewed on the Hetalia site looks pretty cute.

& 5 days left til season 5~ Super excited now that I know I'll be able to watch them on the Funi site. As long as they don't make the simulcast episodes only available to their elite subscriber people, that is. stressed

I'll probably just watch it on youtube or another site that streams episodes... I dunno, I'm not sure Funimation allow people outside the US to watch stuff on their site (which sucks considering they often buy distribution rights for Canada...so they should allow Canadian audiences to watch it too...). But I haven't been on their webpage in a while so maybe it's changed.

I’m excited for the new season, i can’t wait to see it when it comes out.

They're really beginning to get out of hand with the merch. Though I don't mind the sweets book. Maybe because I'm a pastry holic.

But the bookmark... Really?

Maybe ten years from now they're going to make Hetalia happy meals or something. Since kids seem to get into everything nowadays. emotion_facepalm

And actual historical events. Because it kind of is about the history and not just the bishounen contrary to popular belief.

I have my ships and all, but I'd rather see a fanfiction with a mass war than a mass orgy. Unfortunately, it's hard to find the former, and even harder to find the former written about a historical event and not about a potential WW3 or zombie apocalypse. Not that there aren't cool fanfictions about WW3 and zombies, but sometimes I just want to read about the Livonian War or the Gallipoli Campaign with the Hetalia characters inserted to embody the thoughts and struggles of the nations at that time.
