There are some spoilers but I wouldn't worry about it! ^_^
So, I had finally found a free website that provided me streaming of the animated Hetalia movie: Hetalia: Paint it White. Now I definitely have mixed feelings about this piece of work and despite me loving it naturally because of how much I LOVE the series, I have to look this at a logical viewpoint and judge it from there!
So here are the cons of the movie that I saw while watching. The plot moves very fast and may be confusing as this makes some aspects of the story line confusing and such, or unnecessary. However, those of us who have watched Hetalia know that this is in their signature storytelling style. Also, it seemed a bit childish, even more than the original series. Basically, aliens are invading and the countries must stop them from making the Earth all freaking boring and white! It is a bit unoriginal and yet I was still fond of it. Also, there were clips from the original series, which threw me off a bit as I thought the writers were building a completely different side subplot.
But enough about the cons! Here are the pros! I loved how even in this out-of-this-world situation, the countries personalities were as vibrant and colorful as ever giving this movie the experience we had when watching the series for the first time. I also enjoyed all the fan references that still play today, such as Switzerland and Liechtenstein's barrier of neutrality that kept them safe from the attacks, and the FrUk shipping reference that I totally fangirled over, but no offense to you UsUk shippers out there! I also enjoyed all the former episode references that mentioned different characters and different scenarios.
Out of ten I give it a 7/10, but nonetheless still recommend it to a hardcore Hetalia fan like me!
Sayonara!
