* Based on a popular web-released manga series by Himaruya Hidekazu. Cynical gag story set in Europe in the years between WW1 and WW2 (1915-1939), using exaggerated caricatures of the different nationalities as portrayed by a gaggle of bishounen boys. For example, the Italia Veneziano character is into pasta and women. The Doitsu (German) bishi loves potatoes and sausages, and Nippon is an otaku boy. Installments of the manga have jumped back and forth in setting from the ancient times to modern-day geopolitics. The title comes from the Japanese words for "useless" (hetare) and Italy (Italia). Note: Japan's Kids Station television network has officially canceled its planned broadcast of the Hetalia Axis Powers anime series "due to various circumstances." The series was distributed by Japanese retail anime chain Animate, via cel phone delivery and internet streaming.
