Out of the Loop;

It's been a few years and some months since I've done anything remotely Hetalia-interesting. Ever since my group on Youtube flopped I have kind of been away from the genre and wanted to get back into it, but I don't know what has gone on.

My last interaction with Hetalia was the first DVD release of World Series and I believe the 4th Volume release in Japanese (the one with the introduction of Romania).

My curiosity has peeked and I wanted to know if anyone could help me answer a few questions I have:

. Where could I go online to download the World Series DVDs in English Dub?
. Have any new countries been introduced since my last exposure of Hetalia?
. Has any other anime series been released in English Dub since the World Series?
. Has any other movies other than 'Paint it White' been released?
. What should I be looking forward to in the forseeable future?

Any and all help on these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! :)

~~I can't say I follow the dub, but,~~ you might want to look into Beautiful World and the upcoming World Twinkle.
There's new character CDs coming out all the way into October right now, so, this year's looking like it's going to be fairly active!

There's some links back on the comm's top post, here (http://hetalia.livejournal.com/12778460.html), that should probably help you out with everything. :>

Hi there! You came back at an excellent time. I unfortunately can't help with the downloads but I can with everything else!

- Several new nations have been introduced including Romania's younger brother Moldova, India, Luxembourg, and Portugal (Sorry! No wiki bio for him yet but have an image of him). Though not a new character per say, Bulgaria has gotten a fair amount of spotlight in the last few years as well. In the last few months, we've gotten some ancients introduced as well and many Roman Emperors.

- Hetalia: The Beautiful World (season 5) ran in 2013 and the dub was released on DVD last summer. This series is unique for the updated art style. Compare these two images with Estonia to see the difference! This one features the old style, this one with the new. Another batch of character CDs for the Axis and Allies were released during the end of the season's run.

- Sadly no other movies have been made since "Paint it White."

- LOTS of things! Like I said earlier, you came back at the right time as we're getting new things weekly. Here's a quick run of what to look forward to:

- Hetalia: World Stars has been running weekly since September 2014 through Shonen Jump+ and can be viewed freely on their website. New strips are posted on Mondays and Fridays (JST). HetaScanlations has all the translations and are crossed-posted to Hetarchive.net. A volume compiling some of these chapters was released in February.
- That being said, after a few false starts, Himaruya looks like he's back to his old ways and is updating his blog again on a regular basis. As always, HS has translations and is crossed-posted to the blog mirror run by Hetarchive.net.
- A new season of the anime will be running this year called "Hetalia: The World Twinkle." We don't know yet when it will run but considering the ending theme will be released in late July, I theorize we'll get it in late-spring or early-summer. The ending theme is titled "Hetalian☆Jet."
- Another batch of character CDs will be released this year starting in late June. This format will be a little different. The previous CDs had two songs for each character, this time there's only one and are paired with another character's song (ex. Volume 1 features one song for Italy and one song for Japan). For this batch we are getting the Axis, Allies, Nordics, Prussia, Estonia, and Hong Kong.

Since you said it's been some time since you've been around, we've had a few other volumes of the manga released (all available in English for purchase on RightStuf) and some events through Himaruya's blog. I can provide links for you if you're interested in getting caught up. C:

That is indeed a lot of information to try and get caught up with. Portugal looks like the best character design out of them all and would be awesome to cosplay at some point. Considering my skin tone, facial features, etc. Not sure if I have Portuguese blood in me though :/

Interesting to see a lot has happened since my last journey to this site. Would love to get some links if at all possible please :) I cannot buy anything at the moment, and if there are sites that have the Volumes as either a download or readable that would be awesome too.

Guess I will have something to update with this week. Too bad I cannot go and download the season of World Series. Also assuming we won't get World Twinkle until beginning of 2016 to mid if it's coming out in the late Spring or Summer.

There's one season of Beautiful World that's been dubbed and this summer World Twinkle will be released. There is also World Stars which is a new serialization of the webcomic. There is a tumblr called Hetascanlations that translates the chapters as well as Hima's blog updates. World Stars is about 50-60 chapters in but i don't think it would take long to catch up. There have definitely been new characters, not only countries but roman emperors as well. So there has been some new content since World Series. Oh and vol 5 and 6 of the manga are out too.

Pardon me for tagging on, but if you're still looking for Hetalia seasons 3+ dubbed then maybe this torrent can be of some use?
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=646714
It has seasons 3-5 dubbed and looks to be directly downloaded from Funi's site.

Maybe?

That link works tremendously, but it's missing episode 48 in the World Series, which is episode 100 overall. It's the episode where "France is stranded on an island with Italy, only to discover that England and Russia are there too, and they're attacking Germany. So is Japan, America, China, and the native islander, Seychelles. During World War One, Germany and England play a football match making a 180 turn finale for the series."

I can't seem to find an English Dub for that episode either. As I watched each episode and looked online for the overall episode guide.

I did not realize that. The numbering seems out of whack from the files I download so I'm not 100%, but this sounds like the right episode? It's from Funimation's online stream and not from the DVDs.

Maybe?

Ecuador! Don't forget Ecuador (even though he was introduced then never really heard from again). http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1508.html (http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1508.html)

Not sure when Macau was introduced (same time as Romania???), but he may be new to you as well.

Somebody mentioned new Ancient Countries were revealed? Which ones?

Persia, and a whole whackload of Roman Emperors. Unless I'm forgetting something . . . .

Do you have a link to a picture of Persia? Or the chapter I could find him/her?

This is a chapter in which Persia appears: http://hetascanlations.tumblr.com/post/115672017305/hetalia-world-stars-chapter-55-original

Thanks, pbjsammich - you're more on the ball than I am! :)

There's also ancient Egypt (http://hetascanlations.tumblr.com/post/110226537370/request-parent-and-child) too! :)

YOU GUYS ARE SO AMAZING! Thanks for all of the updates and all of the help with the questions I've had.
If ONLY there was a Portugal cosplay, I would so do it, and sowing is an enemy of mine too I'm afraid.
