Hetalia Question

Your thoughts on Season 5?

Admit it, we have all been waiting for this. My friends loved it, and I...

...was extremely disappointed.

Don'tget me wrong, the animation is GORGEOUS. Thats my problem. It isn't as bright and colorful as before. Everything is a muted, more nature and serious tone, something I personally Hetalia isn't---serious. The animation before wasn't awful, and fit the theme more closely.

My other problem is the ending. The orginal Marukaite Chikuyuu is just better---heck, I even like Hatafutte Parade better, and I don't like it.

I was pleased that some of the characters from the manga---like Romania, Australia, and even a little India--- made it in.

I'm also glad that they kept the 5 minute format. Contrary to the afore mentioned animation, thats part of the unique and random charm of Hetalia.

This is just my rant (and I'm guessing its an unpopular opionion too) on the subject. I'm sure other people loved it.

Love or not, what do you think?

Well, so far I find the new season interesting. The new animation is beautiful and... I don't get why so many fans are disappointed by it. I mean, just because the art changed doesn't mean that the whole anime did. Hetalia is still the same as before. In fact, I've noticed that some details about the characters' appearances which were mentioned in the manga were ignored in the last seasons (Ex: England's hair colour in the manga is pale blond, but in the last four seasons it was coloured yellow blond) and when you think about it, the new art is more similar to Himaruya's original art than the old one. I get that some fans prefer the old art, and admittedly I miss it too, but I don't think we need to start uproar over it. Overall, I believe that the new season is fine.

I agree with this post. In retrospect, the opening and ending are just "Meh." to me.

Well, I agree that it's not as good as the other seasons. But we all have to put in mind that it's the same as other book series and movies. When they make sequels and stuff, it isn't as good as the the first edition. I don't mind it being not as good though because it's just another weekly dose of Hetalia! I'm just happy they included Mochitalia but I miss the funny narrator woman.

I was very disappointed with it season 5. For starters I miss the old animation, I'm emotionally attached to the old hetalia animation so to speak(but I think the new animation is fancy though and I like some of the story lines). Second of all, I feel like they only did season 5 for yaoi fans and fan service in general (I don't have anything against yaoi If you like that's perfectly fine and okay) But, what they were doing with Italy and Germany made me feel like the bond between Japan and both of them were broken (I ship them platonically really hard). My final reason they're drifting away from being historical. Hetalia was a really funny take on history and now they're doing your average everyday thing. Disappointing. I have to do average everyday things... well, everyday. That's how I feel about the whole thing but if their doing anymore episodes then I hope their like the classics. But I highly doubt anything is going to change anytime soon.
