2. You go "Aww" when you see two or more flags together
3. You've learned more history (Austria-Hungary Compromise, WWII) from it than from an actual history class
4. You debate about details like whether the number on America's back is supposed to be 50 or 96...with supporting screenshots
5. You watch APH MADs (Music videos/parodies)
6. You got a Nico Nico Douga account despite not knowing a single word of Japanese so you could watch even more APH MADs.
7. You dress up in a scarf and party hat and sit behind a receptionist's desk for Halloween.
8. World War II starts sounding romantic.
9. Your teacher asks why you put "Alfred F. Jones" as the answer instead of America, and why you drew a small heart and the name "Arthur" beside it.
10. You yell "Yeah, he's the hero!" whenever someone says America.
11. You misread UK as UKE every single time, and have started mispronouncing it in actual conversation.
12. You know every country's flag and location, and people think you must be a huge history nerd, and really, you've become one.
13. You shudder every time you hear the name "Russia" or "Ivan" and quickly glance over your shoulder...just in case.
14. Whenever you see a fellow Hetalia fan, you shout, "Germaaaannnnyyyyy!" down the hallway.
15. You write down your favorite pairings all over your history lecture notes, leaving others to wonder what "USxUK" means.

25. You're a duke/duchess of Sealand.
26. You've become a thousand times more patriotic
27. You remember Canada Day BEFORE the 4th of July, as in, you completely forget about America's birthday. (and you're American)
28. You want to learn every single language in the world. Even the weird ones.
28. You recognize which flag belongs to which country, while everyone just looks at you funny.
29. Everyone who's named Alfred, Arthur, Peter, Matthew, and Francis is forever linked to Hetalia.

I so want to do 25. I remember looking up how to become one as soon as I saw it in Hetalia.

24, 17, and 3 are true for me. Kind of 21, maybe 26. XD;


However, I do have to say that I think 9 and 15 are inappropriate for this site, considering this is a Christian Bible-based site and homosexuality is not supported...

I weep, I weep. Before I dedicated myself to the study of history for pleasure. Now I study it for a reason. I must work hard to educate.

Prussia is on the map.

It's called Germany.

I've been watching too much Hetalia and none of these things apply to me. :<
(which I consider great, actually, especially in the cases of the yaoi references you seem to have included on your list. Someone has been reading too many fanfics.)

And 14 does not make sense; explain.

I love this!!! xD Also, ive had a craving to order like a billion cheeseburgers... Just like America xD

Oooh! Ooh! I have a list of these too! I will post them! Wait. Just kidding. The list is a list of how you know you're watching Hetalia. Not how you know you're watching too much Hetalia.

Made one up on the spot.

1. You giggle whenever anyone mentions Spain, and then mention something about floofy hair (I love drawing Spain's hair!)
2. You have a newfound appreciation for random foods. Like pasta. And tomatoes.
3. When pressed for a scary evil laugh, you say "KOL KOL KOL" even though Russia totally freaks you out.
4. You doodle Hetalia characters on your history notes. (I have a very interesting conversation between Vexen from Kingdom Hearts and Russia going on)
5. You cower in terror whenever someone mentions the names of the countries of your least favorite pairings in the same sentence. (I won't mention mine, as they would probably start an argument)
6. When everytime someone says 'Canada' you say 'who?' just as a joke.
7. Um... you go on rants about how obnoxious Germany is to draw? (because he is)
8. What else do I do...hrm... Oh yeah! I also yell "PAAAAASTAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Okay, my plan to make a list as long as the first one failed. And it also occured to me that I don't really like the only two countries whose languages I can fluently speak. And that I LOVE with the country whose language I failed at learning and can kind of half-speak. Odd.

P.S. Agreed about taking the stuff about USUK off there. You'll make me cower in the corner!

You all may think I'm stupid, but what is Hetalia???

It's an anime where you have anthropormorphized versions of the countries of the world interacting in fairly historically accurate ways. And there are bishies. Therefore you should watch it.

I should warn you though AnimeGirl: It is rated TVMA on Funimation. From what I've been told it does get a bit...er racy later on. At least, so I've heard......

Basically Atria's explaination. It's a good idea, I just wish some parts of it were...well, eliminated. It would be better without some things. This can be avoided by simply not watching certain episodes, since they're only five minutes long.

Also, the Hetalia fandoms can be really scary places at times...

Lol I love Hetalia and relate to everything (except the Sealand thing) on this list!! I have a list of stuff but I have no clue where it is at the moment lol.

1. you taught your friends about sealand.
2. your friends now hate anime because of your obsession
3. you got a question on the holy roman empire right in the knowledge bowl because of it.
4. whenever someone mentions the American Revolution you thinking of America screaming in engrish 'I WANT FREEDOM!!!!!'
5. you bought the dub and the manga on a day u got depressed to cheer u up
6. you wanna start talking with your mouth full of hamburgers.
7. u almost murdered your computer when you discovered the tv-ma on youtube.
8. you and your friends plan to move to sealand after college.
9. you think of long lines and Korean dramas when someone mentions korea.
10. you laughed when the media finally noticed canada during the olympics
11. you asked your japanese teacher to let you watch the 'far eastern brothers' in class
12. liechtenstein now sounds adorable to you instead of a german cuss word xD
13. end of the cold war seems more like the defeat of a stalker now
14. Chopin is now the sound of Austria's anger.

Is there anyway to find out which episodes not to watch before you stumble upon them? I just started watching Hetalia this week (only 3 episodes in), and I'd like to stay away from the really weird aspects of the show as much as possible. Though the best way to do that might be to avoid the show...but I'm too curious about it to drop it.

Not without asking someone else who's seen it. And I would do so, because it's waaaay to good to drop!

Well, if you can find a list of episode summaries, it's pretty obvious which ones you'll want to skip. If you watch it on funimation.com, it gives you a little summary off to the side, and that can help immensely!
