Hetalia: World Series 2 - Season Four (Limited Edition)

Alright let's get this out of the way: This season was a big time improvement over the first season of "World Series". (See my review of season three to see my criticisms of it)This season contained the second half of World Series and introduces some characters that you might not have seen before like Seychelles, The Netherlands and Belgium. Incidentally Belgium and Sey(that's what I call her because I seriously can't pronounce her name) come towards the end of the series so you almost know for a fact at this point that the hand was tipped that there would be (and is going to be) a 5th season. You generally DON'T introduce new characters into a series when its getting ready to wrap up so you already knew what was going to happen there."Nekotalia" is one of the hidden gems in the season because it shows some of the countries (Germany, Italy, Romano, Russia, Japan and Austria) as felines and it actually makes for a very entertaining watch especially the final one where you have Austria and Germany's cat getting ready to go to a cat meeting and Austria still has signature "Mariazell" but its just too funny to see when he's a kitten. Even funnier is when he's trying to bat down his furn and he hits his right ear constantly...quite amusing actually!One minor issue I had with this series but it wasn't a total deal breaker was actually during one of the end credits and the sequence of certain episodes.During the end credits of one episode during the season they showed a clip with Norway and Iceland. The clip was actually from what has been called on Youtube as "Extra Episode 1" when Iceland finds out that Norway is his brother. The issue here is that the episode DIDN'T happen yet so it was kind of confusing as to why they would show a clip from that episode. You don't hear the audio but you see a brief glimpse of the scene which tells you the episode is probably on the disc.The episode sequence issue comes with the final "extra episode" of Hetalia and it deals with Hungary and Prussia as kids. In that episode is when we have the hilarious deal about if Hungary is a girl or not and when she tells Prussia her "secret" he kind of looks surprised and all that. The thing about it is that during the "crotch cloth caper" which happens during the "regular episodes" the clip when Prussia shows his shock from Hungary in the extra episode is revealed. The only reason you have to watch the episode is to find out what the heck happened.Other than those minor issues I strongly recommend this season. Its gonna tide you over until "Beautiful World" and I honestly can't wait. I hope when we get to see it its just as AWESOME as Prussia is :)5/5 and like FUNI's motto:you SHOULD be watching!

I live in New Zealand and I'm a huge otaku for anime. I love many different anime titles, Hetalia being among them, and I couldn't wait to get Season 4 to add to my collection. Trouble was when Season 4 came out, it hadn't even arrived in NZ yet and probably wouldn't for another few months or so. So I ordered the Limited Edition on Amazon.I had never used amazon before so I was a little worried. I had a multi region DVD player but I still wondered if it would play region 1. Nevertheless the estimated arrival date for the DVD was August 22nd so I waited patiently.To my surprise a week after I ordered the package had already arrived! It was packed well and in superb condition. The DVD played in my player, and it had everything advertised; the banner, the DVD etc etc. Thank you, Amazon, for the quick shipping and the great packaging!Now onto the review of 'Hetalia' itself. Season 4 is one of the more crazier seasons, so you know you're in for a wild, hilarious ride. There's not much plot like its former seasons, its main purpose to make you laugh and offend the Italians! Haha, but really, Hetalia isn't for the faint of heart. If you're easily offended then you may take offense to Hetalia, which takes a bunch of countries and personifies them into people, all the while poking fun at typical country stereotypes. (Italy is a pasta-loving womanizer, Germany is blonde with blue eyes and has a stick up his ass, Japan is...Japan, France is a pervert, etc etc.) The show is a lot of politically incorrect fun, and as each episode is only five minutes long, it doesn't 'try' to be funny or anything like that; it's just naturally laugh-worthy.Anyhow,Packaging - ***** ((Five Stars - everything was there and in perfect order.))Shipping - ***** ((Came quicker than it was supposed to, much to my delight.))Anime - ***** ((Hetalia is a bit of politically incorrect nonsense for your enjoyment. It is, indeed, hilarious in its own quirky way.))In the end,10/10

The DVDs came in good shape, however, the cover was slightly crushed. However, that is probably due to the extra space required for the special edition bandanna.

After first getting introduced to the world of Hetalia by a friend, I have enjoyed this series consistently. Each new season bringing a ton of laughter and joy, giving History a fun "edge". Each nation is stereotyped, but the way it's done makes it pleasing and joyous instead of offensive. The perfect way to get interested in History, but beware of the language, this is not something you want to expose the littles too unless you want them swearing.and the cute, adorable bandana is a plus, in this limited edition, and I must say, if you haven't gotten it yet, do so now or forever rest in peace. :3

I just got the package today and it's great. The extra CD has a compilation of Chibitalia and America's Storage Cleaning. They made it flow very well and cut out a lot of the unnecessary stuff. That made me very happy :). I find that this season is the best season yet. They go more into minor characters of Hetalia like Poland, Lithuania, Prussia, Hungary, and the Nordics. I love it!~ Of course it comes with the bandanna too which is very cute.

So, I'm starting off with a "yay!"Hetalia is my number anime and I just could not believe that my mother gave this for mybirthday. The DVD box was a little bit damaged because of shipping; maybe they throwthe box around or something XD The episodes were amazing! The designs and everythingwere worth a penny! I even got a yellow bandana that was inside the box. I highly recommendthis for the Hetalia fans!!

This DVD. . .is the most amazing thing in life! It's super funny, and I'm pretty sure it can make the rainiest of days sunny! This is one of the most insane seasons of Hetalia! When I think about it, they just got funnier and funnier! The special features are cool too! Ya know what? I love Hetalia! I love this DVD! Thank you Funimation!

while there were some random filler moments that i fastforward, this is still an awesome follow up. I can't wait for the next season of Hetalia to come out, because its brilliantly hilarious in the most random ways.

Big thumbs up from my daughter!
