I'm going to say this, right here, right now: When it comes to TV shows (that includes anime), I always make sure to watch at least 5 to 6 episodes of a show before judging it (though I kinda made an exception with Power Rangers Turbo, which I watched 10 episodes of).
Anyways, what 아니메 do I hate with a bloody passion? One word: Hetalia. I gave it a try, and the results were... less than desirable.
I'm going to be brutally honest here. I had 더 많이 fun watching Princess Tutu.
I had 더 많이 fun watching 트랜스포머 Energon.
I had 더 많이 fun watching the 4Kids dub of One Piece.
I had 더 많이 fun watching Naruto.
I had 더 많이 fun watching the cutscenes from Hotel Mario.
I had 더 많이 fun watching Boku No Pico.
I had 더 많이 fun watching Shounen Maid Kuro-kun.
No, I'm not kidding (though considering what Boku No Pico and Shounen Maid Kuro-kun are, I kinda wish I was). I got 더 많이 enjoyment out of watching animated gay child porn than I did watching Hetalia.
The 애니메이션 was garbage. I've seen plenty of 아니메 where the 애니메이션 was bad because the animators were too lazy, but with Hetalia, it's as if the animators were trying too hard to make things look cute. And I know that "cute" was what they were going for. However, I like to compare 애니메이션 tones to chocolate. Some of it is good, but too much of it is just absolutely terrible. I thought that Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie had bad 애니메이션 (even though that movie was awesome), but 헤타리아 just takes the cake.
The characters in 헤타리아 suck 더 많이 than a black hole. One thing that's important about 아니메 (along with any other series) is whether 또는 not the characters are likable. One of the reasons why Soul Eater is a good 아니메 is because they give reasons why 당신 should like the characters. Black 별, 스타 is a good character because he can be cocky, arrogant, and funny at times (not only that, but he's a freaking assassin, and who doesn't 사랑 assassins?), and he also cares for his friends, especially his weapon Tsubaki. They also give a backstory for him about where he comes from, how he became a skilled meister, how he became partners with Tsubaki, so on and so forth. Death the Kid, Liz, and Patty are good characters because they can be really badass at times, and funny at others. They also gave a backstory about how they became partners and how Liz and Patty were before they became partners.
As for 헤타리아 characters like Romano, Germany, Prussia, France, America... why would anyone like these characters? Cause from those 5 to 6 헤타리아 episodes I wasted my time on, I saw no reasons to like 또는 care about those characters. Italy is an obnoxious and annoying brat who obsesses over nothing but italian food. 일본 was just as flat and lifeless as a blank chalkboard. Germany was extremely idiotic (and not in a good way like Squatt and Baboo from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers). Quite frankly, the fact that these... (I guess we can call them-) characters have fangirls who will squeal and obsess over them astounds me to no end.
The humor... good god, the humor. I'm going to say this right now before anyone uses the parody argument: there's GOOD satire (The Boondocks, Big Money Hustlas, Spaceballs, Monty 파이썬 and the Holy Grail, and 당신 Nazty Spy!), and then there's BAD satire (Kickassia, Disaster Movie, Scary Movie 4, The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It, and of course... Hetalia). Almost every single joke in 헤타리아 is a joke that only 4-year-olds would use. It doesn't matter how many times 당신 fangirls spam the annoying "PASTA!!!" joke. It was never funny to begin with, and it never will be.
The voice 연기 is horrendous. Now, when I gave 헤타리아 a try, I watched the english dub 의해 Funimation on Netflix. I 사랑 Funimation, and I do think that they can churn out fantastic dubs. However, even their skill at dubbing isn't enough to save the 큰 덩어리, 한 조각 of garbage known as Hetalia. Italy's voice is extremely annoying, Germany is 더 많이 wooden than a tree, Japan's voice just adds to his lifelessness, the list goes on. Also, since Todd Haberkorn voices Italy, I can never think of characters like Death the Kid and Tsukune Aono the same way ever again.
*is done venting steam* I apologize if this was too much for 당신 to read, but I'm being serious when I say that 헤타리아 is the WORST 아니메 I've ever seen. It's even worse than Boku No Pico. At least Boku No Pico had decent 애니메이션 (I'm not hinting at anything with that statement), and even though it made me upchuck last night's dinner, at least Boku No Pico didn't make me feel like I died inside.
I'm done here. I'm going to sign off for now, I'm going to shut everything off, I'm going to jump in my bed, and I'm going to sleep for 6 happy hours while listening to some soothing 음악 since it's currently 12:50 PM where I'm at, and I'm starting to get a little tired from venting all that rage. See 당신 다음 morning.

Lately, alot of people have been calling other people weebos. Yet, if I were to be called this, it wouldn't offend me. Because I know that that isn't true. I am obsessed with anime, very true, but Is doesn't 아니메 let me escape from all the sh!t in my life? Sure, I spend all my time surfing the web for anime, but I beleive this word 'weebo' simply does not excist. We watch anime, because it is a better reality, it is an escape from reality. The word 'weebo', does not excist to me. We simply are not weebo's because we watch 아니메 and listen to japanese music, we simply think that its a better place to be 또는 something better to listen to. So if 당신 are obsessed with japanese culture, 당신 are not a weebo, 당신 are just someone who is smart enough to see that the japanese culture is much 더 많이 enjoyable then what 당신 live in. So be proud
and enjoy escaping from the drama! :D
