The third season of the Hetalia Axis Powers anime. A continuation of the first 2 seasons under a new name, still adapting the online webcomics drawn by Himaruya Hidekaz.
Based on a popular web-released manga series by Hidekazu Himaruya, this has been described as a "cynical gag" story set in Europe in the years between WW1 and WW2 (1915-1939), using exaggerated caricatures of the different nationalities as portrayed by a gaggle of bishōnen. For example, the Italia Veneziano character is into pasta and women. The Deutsche (German) bishi loves potatoes and sausages, and Nippon is an otaku boy. Installments of the manga have jumped back and forth in setting from the ancient times to modern-day geopolitics. The manga's title comes the Japanese words for "useless" (hetare) and Italy (Italia).

Hetalia is an excellent anime that you can still watch it a few times and still find it funny especially when you're learning about World War II and other parts of history. If you find learning about WW2 boring this anime will make you want to learn and get you motivated (and possibly suggest your history to show during history). Eventhough it is one very funny anime, some people still find the sterotyping insulting (*cough**cough*Korea*cough*), so if you are deeply in love with your country, this anime is not for you.
