I picked this anime up on a whim, and I must say, it was quite entertaining. At first I had no idea this was going to be a comedy show (Because of the title and subject matter); I thought there was going to be violence, blood, gore, etc. and I was surprised that it didn't.

This series satires and parodies events from World War I and World War II. For example the main characters are the Axis Powers, and they are named after those countries (Germany, Italy and Japan respectively), and their enemies are The Allied Powers (America, England, France, Russia and China).

Since this anime ... was based on web cartoon shorts, it's only about 5 minutes long, which may be too short for some, but for me that's a good thing for when you don't feel like sitting through a long show.

It's also surprisingly funny and random; Italy randomly yelling out "PASTA~" and the characters getting into weird situations, but underneath all this can actually teach you history about WWI and WWII if you pay attention to those details.

To wrap up, if you're a history and anime buff, you will most likely enjoy this show.

Story
The story actually followed pretty close to the game, with some extra stuff added which was cool. I liked the story in this one a lot. I never beat the game, and I got to see the ending of the game through this manga. There were a lot of funny parts too.

Art
Very nice. The characters are drawn really well and they all look like themselves. The Disney characters were drawn spot on!

Character
They were all in character, though some of them you didn't see much in the game, the mangaka added more to their personality, which was great.

Enjoyment
I really enjoyed this manga. I ... read it twice and I let my friend read it too and she liked it as much as I did. I can't wait to read Kingdom Hearts 2!

Story
This manga has 3 stories in it, and they are all completely different. They all pertain to real life situations such as relationship issues, growing pains, and family issues. I thought the stories in this manga were all pretty good. "Club Hurricane" was a little hard to follow at times because there was a lot of internal dialouge and sometimes I didn't know who was talking. The other two stories were good as well, but were shorter than "Club Hurricane".

Art
The art was nice. It reminded me of the artwork in "Peach Girl" somewhat because of the way the girls were drawn. It was ... very shoujo like artwork.

Character
All the characters presented here are very different. They all have their problems and they solve them by the end of the story. Since this is a one shot manga, you can't really see the characters develop any more than what's already there.

Enjoyment
It took me a while to read this, and when I did, I wasn't dissapointed. I only problems I had was with some of the dialouge some parts of the plots. Other than that it was enjoyable.
