I was introduced to Hetalia in 2011 and at the time I was obsessed! The episodes were 5 minutes a pop, but there were 50 at a time! And although it was so confusing at first, once you got to know the characters...everything became so much fun! The characters were charming, the story was either semi-historical or just silly, and it was just...fun. The first 2 seasons were great! Then came the animation revamp and the massive amount of glitter they put in it. The animation was no longer fun for me. Plain was better. Then the characters were less charming, the story less fun, and me outof the fandom entirely.

And yet I was still excited for the 2021 season. I was hoping they'd bring the old experiences back, put some life into a world I used to heavily enjoy. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. And these OVAs are just as lackluster as well.

It just feels so dead. The way characters react with each other feels so...overdone and boring. The same interactions over and over. The story is ok I guess but still, I feel like I've seen it all before.

Maybe there's nothing left to say in this world? If you loved the old-old Hetalia, don't watch this. If you liked the more recent seasons of Hetalia before this one, try it out. You could find joy in it that I couldn't.
