I'm a Tomato Box Fairy!

Kinda following on from my last post, I'm writing a post about another anime/manga.
This is a very funny historical web-manga called 'Hetalia' or 'Axis Powers Hetalia'. Hetalia is the Japanese way of spelling Italy, and this is the character we follow (specifically, Northern Italy). In this manga, different countries are actually represented by people ('Anthromorphic Personification' lolz :P).
The main 3 are Italy (Hetalia), Germany (Doitsu) and Japan (Nihon), as these were the 'Axis Powers'. Then of course you have the 'Allied Forces' or England (Igirisu), America (Amerika), France (Furansu), China (Chugoku) and Russia (Roshia). All the characters refer to each other as such, although occasionaly in the manga, we are told of their actual names (eg Japan is Honda Kiku). These aren't all the characters, obviously, but they're the main ones, and you get introduced to more as the manga goes on.
Anyways, I'll talk more about the Anime as the layout of each episode it actually easier to understand. Each episode is about 5 mins, and half is of 'storyline' and the other half is called 'Chibitalia' The storyline goes through in historical order, eg. we start off really in WW1, where Italy and Germany meet. In Chibitalia, it's like a flashback to when Italy was young. There, we're introduced to members of Italy's 'family', such as his grandfather, Roman Empire; his brother, Southern Italy; and his two older brothers, Spain and France. We also meet 'Holy Roman Empire', who keeps trying to get young Italy to go to his house (join him, baisically).
Because the Anime is new (started this year), there are only 4 episodes so far, which can be found on Veoh.
Although this manga/anime is quite silly most of the time, the events, such as the 'fights' and the fact that there is a Northern and Southern Italy character, are actually pretty accurate historically.
Anywho, i would definatly recommend this manga/anime. Like I said before, the manga is a little more confusing, but there's more of it than the anime so far. Go watch it! Each episode it only 5mins long!
