Hetalia: Axis Powers (2009)
Hilarious, hooking and historically accurate!
So... Hetalia is amazing!
**SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT**
It has subtle references to historically accurate events, like England asking Germany if he wants to play football in the "World War 1" arc- That's historically accurate to the Christmas truce in 1914! Whilst the characters are funny with the common stereotypes people give (EX: Italy being obsessed with pasta and pizza and being able to flirt easily), the dubbed VA's do amazing work with the accents people expect someone from that country to have.
I must say, this anime makes life all that more depressing- Beware those in school learning about the Holy Roman Empire- and even hilarious in history lessons. I believe the Hetalia fandom is one of the best anime fandoms out there- come on! we have over 1400 ships!, including crack ships!
Me and my friend outside of virtual reality relate to two or more of the characters, I have earned the nickname "Canada" for my impression of him, and she has earned the nickname "Italy" from her bubbly personality, much like Italy from the show.
I do not give this a perfect score due to the length of the episodes and the lack of long lasting story, however, the "no long lasting story" concept may be good for those who come in late to the show.
but until then, praise Papa Hima for creating such a masterpiece.
Note to anyone who has seen the anime: No, British people aren't terrible cooks. I'm British and a great chef =)
Ôran kôkô hosutobu (2006)
Ouran High School Host Club is one of the best animes I have seen to date.
This is one of the first animes I had ever watched- I do not regret it!
**SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT**
It is about how Haruhi Fujioka, a "Commoner" in the eyes of the school, has to pay off an 8,000,000 Yen debt to a host club, including an idiot "king" called Tamaki Suoh, who's quirky attitude masks his sad past, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin (My favourite characters), using their bond as twins to perform what's commonly known as "Twincest" (best part of the anime xD), Minskuni Haninozuka (Honey) and Takashi Morinozuka (Mori), who's family's are experts in martial arts, and Kyoya Ootori, who's knowledge and funding skills hold the host club together. She must play the role of a male, due to her boyish appearance and attitude fooling the Host Club for a short time into believing she is of the opposite gender. Later in the series, she is the subject of a love triangle. This, however, is resolved in the finale. Speaking of the finale, any TamaHaru shippers may flip tables in rage, but i'll leave you to find out why.
With it's characters comes an incredible cast- I've seen both Dub and Sub and honestly prefer the Dub! FUNimation studios have an incredible range of VA's and they play their characters well.
I recommend this anime 100%, however, I do not give it a perfect score... Because there is no season 2. Other then that, I would love for any anime watchers, new or old, male or female, young child or old adult, to watch this anime- It will be a decision they will never regret!
