Hetalia World★Stars

Greece continues to struggle with his nation's financial woes, leaving it up to the other nations to brainstorm ways to restart his economy. This soon kicks off what would be known as the Industrial Revolution, wherein America rises to completely surpass the rest of the world in both technology and economic strength.

Fearing that he is losing his influence on the global scale, England begs the other nations for ideas to restore his country's image. At the same time, smaller nations are eager to make their mark with their newfound independence. Czechoslovakia has officially been split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, leaving the two nations at odds with each other but with a lot of free time.

I first watched Hetalia in 2011, and when I learned that after 10 years, my country, Portugal, was finally gonna get animated, I was ecstatic! It was a shame it was only half an episode, tho.

Everyhting else was typical Hetalia, the jokes, the cute animations... It's great!
I'm just surprised that after 6 years since the last season, they decided to do the series again, but only for 12 episodes.
It's something you watch really fast, it's relaxing, and you learn some cool stuff from it! Totally recommend, if you watched the other seasons, this one shouldn't be left out.

Preliminary (8/12 eps)

New Hetalia fan here, binged the whole series in 2-3 days, and I can say with certainty that World Stars is 100% the best season yet! From the start:

Episodes 1 and 2 are a great introduction if you're new to the series, showing all of the major characters along with their personalities and interactions.

Episodes 3 and 4 introduce two new characters and their interactions are just in general very funny ^^

On episode 5 we see the start of the Industrial Revolution Arc, and Arthur being a tsundere as always! Episode 6 got me to ship something I'd never thought of before, so that was great.

My ... favorite so far is definitely episode 7 though. I could not stop smiling throughout the whole thing, Ivan and Raivis were just both so cute! <3

As of when I'm posting this, episode 8 was the last one released, and I also really love it. I move so fast as soon as I find out that a new episode is out! I look forward to it every week!

All in all, great art style mostly kept over from beautiful world, great story and humor as is customary for the series, but it's even better in this season than any other! World Stars made me fall in love with every character all over again. 10/10 Would recommend.

For those who hate Hetalia, I suggest you put your opinion on the fandom and the "cringy fangirls" aside and give it at least a shot, because it's really funny and historically accurate.

Mixed Feelings

It was a massive surprise that a new Hetalia anime series was announced out of nowhere and Hetalia stopped its hiatus in 2021.

I finally decided to watch it recently, after regaining an interest in Hetalia after so long. (I was originally interested during 2015-2016.) I was excited to find out how Czechia, Slovakia and Portugal sounded in the anime - Yuichiro Umehara plays Portugal and I could recognize his voice.

Episodes still follow the 5 minute format. The animation style is notably different from that of The Beautiful World and World Twinkle due to the massive gap between World Twinkle and World Stars' release. The style ... looks more pretty.

I think I remember hearing a remastered version of Japan's theme in one of the episodes. Love how the soundtrack evolved alongside the Hetalia anime series itself.

Bulgaria finally appeared for the first time since Episode 27 (which was in Hetalia: Axis Powers - the first season!) and we finally get to see him in the new Hetalia anime artstyle (since Beautiful World)! If the Hetalia hiatus was bad, let's just say Bulgaria's 11 year hiatus was even worse.

Also, Vietnam makes a proper cameo in Episode 1 - her first cameo was in a costume in the Hetalia World Twinkle Halloween special. However she still doesn't speak sadly. Kinda like a similar situation to Thailand and Macau, where they didn't have any lines either. I just want to hear how Vietnam sounds like. I wanted to see more out of her.

However the series has less episodes than all the previous ones, and half of it was just the Industrial Revolution series anyways. Additionally 4 of the 6 non-Industrial Revolution episodes are 2-parters. (If you combine all the episodes in this anime with its specials, the World Twinkle would still have more episodes. Although, Hetalia Axis Powers, the first season, has the most episodes.)

Additionally, China only speaks in 2 episodes, despite him being listed as a main character in the Hetalia series. It's sad because he is one of my favorite characters.

There are no variations of the ending theme unlike the other seasons. I love Hetalia music, so I was disappointed to find out that it only had one version. (The character versions of the ending themes dwindled - Marukaite Chikyuu and Hatafutte Parade have 18 each, Mawaru Chikyuu Rondo has 10, Hetalian Jet has 11.)

Other than the Czechia and Slovakia character song, there are character songs for the Axis and Allies. So nice to hear them again, but sadly they only released one song for each character and didn't release songs for anyone other than the Axis and Allies.

It shows that there isn't that much passion put into this season of Hetalia, especially since it came out of a huge hiatus and Hetalia isn't that big as it was in the early 2010s.

I hope Hetalia can once again live at its former glory like it did in the early 2010s.
