What are your top favorite hetalia episodes? And in the manga?

So, my older cousin wants to get into Hetalia (and possible draw pictures for it which gets me excited since she is an incredible artist). She said to choose five episodes and or manga stories to show her so she can figure out whether she'd like to watch it . I want to get the opinion of the Hetalia community on what the top episodes are! More then five welcomed :) I was thinking of the Liechtenstein episode and America's storage closet one but not sure what others would be good to show her.

EVERY EPISODE STARRING AMERICA EVER.

Though not in English... he's kind of a dick in the English dub and it takes so much away from his adorableness...

In all seriousness, I like the episodes that have the most drama. So I'd say the Liechtenstein backstory and America's Storage room episodes are my personal faves.

However, these stick out the most to me because the whole show is crack, and these specific episodes are tiny snippets of drama and backstory that give these silly characters some personality. If you're introducing someone to Hetalia, I'd start with one of the beginning episodes (Ep 1 might be a little hard to use as an intro, though, since everyone talks a mile-a-minute in the beginning) so they can know what they're getting into. To show the awesome drama stuff first is kinda false advertising.

EVERY EPISODE STARRING AMERICA EVER.
I totally agree! ESPECIALLY America's Storage Room Cleaning!
I also recommend the Chibitalia episodes, the Christmas 2010 Event, the April Fools 2011 comics, and the episode with the Pact of Steel between Italy and Germany.

Well, if you show her episodes from the anime, I'd say the episodes with America's Storage Room Cleaning, The War of Austrian Succession, and episode 88 (36 of World Series) >:D

You get a good balance of drama, epic and comedy from those 3, actually 5 since ASRM and WoAS are doubles.

And yeah what kyoko said don't make the English dub the first thing she see O.o I love it and all, but it will scare new people. I hope you can successfully convert her ^w^

There's a strip in Volume 4, the most adorable thing ever :)

[identity profile] cattiechaos.livejournal.com 2011-07-29 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Has volume 4 been scanlated yet? I can't find it in the Scanlations Index on the Hetalia comm.

[identity profile] lovelycudy.livejournal.com 2011-07-29 01:57 am (UTC)(link)

anime:
where Prussia finds out Hungary's a girl. it's an extra episode so you'll have to do some hunting, but it is hysterical. (I'm not talking about the episode where he realizes she has boobs. I'm talking about the one where they're kids & he asks her if she has a penis.)
chibi!America chooses England
the first episode with the world meeting
Japan meets Switzerland for the first time
England's escape from Italy
the black ships have come (so many great jokes)
the Liechtenstein episodes
manga:
the one when Korea accidentally orders Bangladesh's flag when he was try to order Japan's

Episode 16, always.

World Series episode 6
World Series episode 11

I like Yao, what can I say :<

Also, any episode where Japan and America interact.

[identity profile] lethal-bonbon.livejournal.com 2011-07-28 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty much any episode/strip involving these two of my adorable idiots.

Like "Boss Spain and Chibiromano".

I admit I don't follow official stuff much. I'm staying in the fandom because it has the sleaziest hot doujins and the spectacular historical fics; besides serving to my very random fetishes like hair-pulling and Latin men
*cough cough* I'm just saying..

[identity profile] pyrolynx.livejournal.com 2011-07-28 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
My votes are for episode 1, 55, 56, 83 and 97

[identity profile] ashling42.livejournal.com 2011-07-28 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
In no particular order:

France remembering when he was impressive
Italy introducing Germany to Romano
German Simulator
Germany's military diary
War of Austrian Succession
Sweden and Finland run away from Denmark
Polish Swedish wars

thought of more
