  • How the heck is this offensive? It's one of the best Hetalia War Tribute's I've ever seen! It's so cool how someone just woke up one day and said they wanted to show the world, themself. it's the steriotyping that really makes Hetalia... Hetalia. I just love how this video shows the darker side of Hetalia, with throwing in the right amount of light. "In order to keep peace in the future, we must look to the wars in our past."

  • Offensive or inappropriate...

    Wow. I never thought this warning would apply to Hetalia when it's NOT France and spain being pedos but apparently youtube thinks it does XD

  • I absolutley LOVE Hetalia and what can be done with it.

    I love how its got two sides to it, like the Crack side where its nothing but funny and then its got its Serious side where it focuses on the events of what happened in each country (:

  • You did something really amazing with this. A lot of times through the laughs and comedy, people forget how brutal history really is. Not that the laughs are a bad thing. I really love what Hetalia does. However, I love your video because it kind of brings the reality of war home, and I think adding the characters adds intrigue to it. Very nicely done.^^

  • a really amazing video!!!

    and now question time...

    where did you get the pic at 4:05 and where did you get this song? and what program did you use to make this video?

  • Yup, Empire Total War will never be the same for me. Thanks, thanks a lot

  • Сильно!!!!

  • What's this song version called?

  • in real life, you see things in first or third point of view. you never seem to see it in omniscient. war is the same thing. example: with nazi germany in ww2, people thought the germans were bad. but the reason was a dictator was ruling. dictators do as they please so the innocent are zipped. hetalia shows things in ominiscient without seeing any violence and our countries destroyed. SinsXIII is right. spread the world.

  • @SwirlyisCool I think it's important to realize that the bad things in history did occur, but I think it's also important not to demonize a nation for what their government decided to do in the past. You brought up a prime example, World War II Germany.  You are absolutely correct, and there were a LOT of factors that went into things. Too many to get into on here... B

  • Really awsome vid I've never heard this song sung by someone else but it's preatty cool

  • At 2:55 i actualy started crying,now i can't stop....

    This was a very moving(?) Video. I loved it

    They need to show stuff like this at the stupid place we call a school

  • 怖い・・・・戦争は最悪だ

    戦争は文化的にやるもの

    現実で戦争をしてはならない

    scary...

    The war is the worst.

    It war culturally.

    Should not war because of the reality.

  • @sketchnews what?

  • Tell the truth im glad that hetalia is a COMEDY. I mean why would i want to watch a cartoon about the atrocities of war, when i could just go get a movie about ww1 and ww2.

  • AWESOME

  • THIS IS AMAZING

  • I love the cuteness and satire of Hetalia, but my mind has been taking a darker turn with it in the fics I'm writing, particularly about my favorite character, Alfred/America. To see this video and realize, I'm not the only one, makes me feel better.

    Well done! Well made video and perfect song!

  • This was very well done.

  • Love the footage from Saving Private Ryan. Great movie.

  • Wonderful video, btw I thought you might like to know that this video has the pleasure of being number 100 in my Hetalia playlist

  • Wow! Now I really truly love Hetalia! At first I took the show seriously and got ticked off when some points on history weren't accurate, but I learned to accept the stereotypes and cute stories that gives me hope that there can be some sort of peace in the world if people look on the bright side. It can go really deep from the whole world to yourself as an individual. The fanart is the most beautiful I've seen too :) Lovely vid :D Really well done :D

  • i do love hetalia but it would be alot more intresting if it was more about the atrocities of ww2

  • I love this song and it goes nicely with Hetalia, if you didn't know it's about the conflicts in Ireland, another war I believe : O

  • So... Awesome.... *cry*

  • Whoa.

    That's...that's all I can say. Whoa.

  • This is such a phenomenal video- I have to agree with the others in that your combination is definitely heart jerking.

  • Wow. This was just too good for words.

  • i like, really is cool

  • I thought a girl sang this?

  • @silvericemint

    It's originally by the cranberries but this is miser's Ft for zombie.

  • @silvericemint actually yeah, it was originally sang by the Cranberries, so im guessing this is a remake, either way, its an awesome song.

  • Love the Saving Private Ryan footage when they're storming the banks of Normandy. Awesome.

  • Ahaha if you like techno there is a remix to this song. Type in Andrew Spencer Cranberries Zombie remix

  • this is perfect, and man if I could I'd show this to my history class. But you know, school is done -Laughs-

  • I have to say, this video is pretty badass. I thought the integration of live footage would be cheesy, but it totally works.

  • I cried after watching this. I hate looking at the characters in the manga looking all beat up and hurt, because it really reflects the state of our country...what if there really WAS a person who got his/her bones broken and body bruised every time a country was bombed? Or scratched when one of his or her people died? Even though a scratch might seem like much, it all adds up...truly an amazing video.

  • 28 people missed the like button. This one had me crying so much ;_; !

  • I love how you show the serious side of this, added actual footage, etc. Just wonderful.

    Also - I've never heard this cover of the song. Only ever knew the original, so I find this version more suiting.

  • 太多不能被忘记,这个视频也提醒我们不要混淆二三次元,不先正了­三观就不要看APH。

  • 其實我覺得戰爭本身就沒有什麼正義可言...這部影片真的有驚醒­夢中人的感覺

  • Wow. 27 people missed the "like" button.

    This video gave me chills. Despite how light-hearted and funny the series is, I wish they would dedicate a couple episodes to the true dark parts of history and wars.

  • That real footage did wonders for this vid awesome job <3

  • 视频作者请注意。同盟国是代表正义的.感觉你像是在美化轴心国。­

  • MEU DEUS, QUE VIDEO LINDO

    Favoritei agora mesmo, parabéns!

  • It is so sad... :(

    *CRYING*

  • Amazing! :D Nicely done! ^^

  • this video gives me chills, but i really do like it...im sorry i can even describe what i feel when i watch it its that amazing...well done

  • i love this. woah. i played this for orchestra too so i loked this song anyways. good job dude. GERMANY 4EVA! go axis powers. 

  • This video is crzy, can you believe such a happy anime is based off of such horror i would never think of it. but the sad truth is this all happened. and us making an anime about it is well kindof..... upsetting i mean it teaches us but its more like were mocking all the pain the worlds gone thre. but i love this anime sooo much i think its well alowed. it was a good was to make sure we dont forget the pain behind this fun tv show.

  • I think this is a fantastic video about the futility and insanity of war, and how it's... schizophrenic, without any sense when you boil it down to its very HUMAN components - people who fall and bleed and die just like each other.

    Excellent work. I think you've used the Hetalia material the way it really ought to be used if one is drawing any philosophical parallels with history at all...

    Thanks for this. :)

  • All I want to say to this, is thank you. Sometimes it bothers me when people just see Hetalia as being cute. In truth, it was as gut wrenching and bloody as this. I like it's cuteness, but as with every war, no matter what there is a form of darkness. I like what SinsXIII said, Hetalia does promote peace. ^^

  • Yes, hetalia is fun with all the comedic characters and all, and you tend to feel pity to certain characters who gets the bad luck in the comic, but after watching this and thinking about it- I don't even know which nation / country to feel pity to since it's like all of them are bloodthirsty for the conquering with wars.

  • this song is so nostalgic...thanks for choosing it :'D

  • very impactful good job

  • Wow, so sad..yet, so beautiful...

  • Brilliant. Made me think about how war make brothers, friends, relatives enemies, how painful it is. T____T I kinda want to cry now.

    I totally agree with AliceGoBoom - LET'S TOTALLY UNITE THE WORLD AND HAVE ALL OUR NATIONS LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER! D:

  • This seems unrelated to Himaruya's love and Hetalia.

    I wish your heart be clear.

    I want to say " Love HETALIA's true meaning."

    The world will give us dream.

    You had mind that a character does it happily simply because reality isn't so?

    You can turn it to the good direction.

  • In Hetalia... You feel emotions for each country, think of them as humans instead of just one landmass with borders that divide them from another. It's a bit like - "No matter which country it is, they're human." I admit I used to dislike another country - but Hetalia changed it. I now completely love that country to bits and even visited it at one point~! Thanks for making this tribute. It's such a moving video. ;w;

  • Comment removed

  • Hetalia's like...magic.

    This fandom has to have the most pro-peace followers ever.

    I never really payed much attention to other countries and their people before, but Hetalia just forces you to open your eyes. You see the world in a new light.

    I just wanna say all the hetalia fans out there have to be the most open minded, sincerest group of awesom people out there.

    LET'S TOTALLY UNITE THE WORLD AND HAVE ALL OUR NATIONS LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER! PLEASE! DDDDD:>

  • @AliceGoBoom OMG YES YOU ARE AWEOSME *high fives*

  • I really love this! The way you incorporated movies in with the hetalia pics. I've watched this 5 times today.

  • This is really creative, mixing with live action with the cartoon hetalia. Just brilliant.

  • The American Revolution Chapter in Hetalia was sad and sweet X3

  • The American Revolution Chapter in Hetalia wasaa sad and sweet X3

  • Oh... oh my god. EPIC. Actual videos integrated into Hetalia? Wow. This is the Hetalia amv I've been waiting for, truly. Because... it just... reflects off real life so well.

    Wow. And thank you.

    (I kinda wanna cry now...)

    Seriously, Hetalia has made me care more about world peace than anything else, sadly. And this video reflects exactly why.

    Wow. Thank you, sooo much!!!

  • I've always thought this was a powerful song. Mixed with Hetalia and the game footage and the real life footage, it makes it even more powerful. Good job. 5/5

  • This reminds me of that war game my dad plays. I don't want to play it because the instructions are too complicated. 2:46 reminded me of the movie "Pacific". and 3:16. The timing and the pictures match with the song. I take it back from my mind, "I hate killing" . Now I hate it when its a war movie and everyone is like crying when I'm smiling. I want to change myself DANG It! This video means alot to me....seriously and literally a lot.

  • i would give anything to see England and America in a sword fight. *O*

    nice video, btw 8D 5/5

  • omg!! what can i say?

    i love this song, i love that movie and i love hetalia!! *¬*

    the video is amazing!

  • which game is it??

    looks kind of fun o.o historically fun XP

    ps. the video made me cry ;w;

  • That was awesome. I really, truly, loved it.

    I kinda wanna cry now though...

  • Why are there Spanish flags at 1:32?

  • Though I think the original "Zombie" is better. SORRY about posting again. Just my computer freaked out for a second XDDD.

    5/5. I loved how you added the part with the fighting on the ships (Rev. War). It just SCREAMS Arthur and Alfred.

  • Who did the song? I've never heard a remake of "Zombie" by the Cranberries before.

    Great vid!~

  • Lovely video, I must say. Great cover of the Crannberries song. Love it and Hetalia~

  • This video is just amazing and sad

    still...nice job though

  • i love it !! its awsome and it made me cry ;(

  • man tis vid made meant to cry T^T good job

  • it deplicted so much emotion *sniff* i wanted to cry.....

    it was awesome you should do more!! ^o^

  • omg.. this is most amazing hetalia vedio i ever seen so far...

    it almost made me cry... sniff*

    claps*

  • Beautiful video! I absolutely adored it and the music was perfect! I like how you show the darker side Hetalia, it's very stunning.

  • Wow...

    Best tribute to Hetalia I've seen in my life.

    I'm not kidding at ALL. A combonation of video clips, fan art, music, and fandom just makes a heck of a video. People should actually recognize this more. Wondeful, Indeed~

  • ...wow...I love how you integrated the actual footage with the hetalia pictures. It also shows the dark side of hetalia, and that War really isn't as fun as it sounds in literature.

    -Hetalia promotes world peace because we don't like seeing our beloved countries/characters getting hurt. Spread the word-

  • Just amazing. This is the other side of Hetalia. It's a great idea for an anime, because awakes things like this one; that's way i'm fan of it and useres like you who take it seriosly =). Congrats!

  • Amazing、nice、Wonderful・・・どこが?

    こういう、いかにも「戦争」ってのを主張した動画って私は不快。­過度な戦争の表現をしないように気を使ってる人も多いけど、海外­の人は気にしないんでしょうか。

    ヘタリアって危険なジャンルですよね。

    嫌いな人も多いし、ファンの言動で嫌いになる人も多い。

    それに無断転載じゃないの?これを素晴らしいとは思わない。

  • This is so true. Hetalia tends to make everything look just funny and comical, and it's easy to forget how terrible wars can be. After reading other comments it seems kinda many understands the real horror of war, though. Great job with the video<3 I'm planning on making Finland's Winter War tribute Hetalia-style, and this gave me plenty of ideas for it :D

  • One word for this video: WOW. That's all.

    I really like the fanarts (almost the bloody kiku, Arthur with Alfred trying to protect him... and when Arthur has his gun in the troat? -sorry I forgot the word for "garganta"- of Alfred...)

  • Who sang this version? Good Vid btw <3

  • Miser

  • Hetalia is such a good comic, because it makes people aware of other countries in the most intriguing way possible.  I mean, true, not all of the information is 100% accurate, and there is some stereotyping, but Hetalia still can make you feel for another nation in the way that you aren't quite able to do so for a few million people under one name.

    War is all fun in literature, but it is sickening in real life.

  • @conni60640 Yes I TOTALLY get what your saying you basically put what my argument sin a totally articulate (waaay more then me) way !!!!

  • @conni60640 It's kinda funny how the stereotyping helps to make an entertaining character, but it's also quite obvious (at least to me) that it is only meant as a joke. This gives people a chance to laugh at there own country and at themselves. Even if all of the info isn't 100% accurate, it sometimes makes me go look it up. I had never even heard of Sealand before. Thanks for the awesome post!

  • I love the fan art, can I get lin to get it!

  • Wonderful video.

  • Good vid. I like a lot some of the pics, you used, specially the ones with the agressive looking characters, very diferent to the "yaoish" thing that one finds at devianart XD

  • This is a beautiful video. Something about it makes war seem even worse than it was to me before. Since I was introduced to Hetalia, I keep imagining that the countries feel the pain that their own nations feel and suffer it as the people do. This video puts it perfectly and it makes the countries seem more human. How they realize their mistakes too late to change then. And how it haunts them as they live on.

  • yknow, ever since I watched APH, it's made me more depressed about war D:

    but nice video :O nice war footage (I like em xD)

  • I like this version of the song :D, very nice video!! ;)

  • I love the original of this song. Way nicer than this one (no offense or anything, naturally). It's a good choice of song for this sort of video

  • (had to split the comment into 2 comments because it was over the limit ^^; ) I love the way you had the pictures, and then splattered blood on them (movie maker effect I'm guessing?), to me it symbolised the way countries always destroy themselves by fighting with other countries instead of just getting along and I don't know if that's the meaning you were going for, but if felt very deep to me... I can't explain myself any better than that (^^;; But it is really well done and I love it!

  • for some reason, this song coupled with the video really touched me. I loved the way you presented it, and it really made me think. If you start thinking about the countries like characters, the way Hetalia does, then it makes things seem more human (at least to me).

  • Wow, I love this version of "zombie"

  • oh my god. OuO

    this was EPIC.

  • theres another version by the cranberries it's very good but sad

  • *sniff*

    I loved it.

    Dude, you deserve a freaking medal. I salute to your awesome skillz~

  • to the person who made this video....u deserve like a freaking monument in your honor....and i want your babies i love you all from this 1 video

  • It made me cry... I like how hetalia makes history easier to understand but and a bit more fun but people shouldn't ignore the more serious side of it... I can't even begin to describe how much I love this video... Brilliantly done.

  • so beautiful... my eyes were watery at the end.

  • i love this amv its awsome and it made me cry T.T and i also watched the movie saving private ryan T.T

  • personally, I like The Cranberries version...still, good video. :c <3

  • smexy vid d=(^_^)z you get a thumbs up

  • i am absoloutley addicted to this video and it gives me gooseboops everytime its just woahh

  • Dearie me, how come everytime I watch these even a little bit more serious videos about Hetalia, I get an urge to cry..? I love how you've made this video, it's truly beautiful.

  • nice video!

    I'm impressed.

  • Oooooh myyy goddddd.

    What program did you use for this??

  • True dat. It is indeed based on historic events, but most of the time its just fooling around doing silly or incorrect stuff. Fun but inappropriate.

  • I did like the video, but I thought it was a little heavy handed. The blood splattered picture effect was a little overdone. Otherwise, I think you did a pretty good job of reinforcing the concept behind Hetalia - and I really liked the picture(s) with England and America facing off in Revolutionary gear. Do you know who the artist is for those?

  • can anyone tell me what this anime is all about?

  • in short an interpretation of historical events shown using personifications of countres

  • T_T >_> watch first 5 second of amv and you well know T_T or read the info amv

  • Fantastic work.I'm glad you put Saving Private Ryan in there.The scene you had is really a reminder of what the war was truely like,and what Hetalia is based on.

  • Every time I watch this it gives me goosebumps... We all need to remember what Hetalia is based on

  • I don't know what to say, besides the fact that like many other Hetalia fans, I need to be reminded time to time what history is about, that it's not just all shounen-ai fluff. Especially love the parts where those happy-fluff pics are reviewed with blood splattered all over them. Wonderful piece, masterful grasp of all pics, music, videos included, great job, and thank's for sharing this with us.

  • this is a masterpiece

  • Amazing...

    Put together very well!

  • this song is so beatuiful it has so much meaning...pray for the safty of our troops

  • awsome!

    (and extra awsome for using Valkarie)

  • This is a great video.

    It shows the more serious side to Hetalia and reminds people of what Hetalia is about.

    I like the song choice as well.

  • I've never heard this cover before. It's just fantastic.

    Excellent video.

  • I'm really impressed.

    Music ideally suited to still images and video pieces, and the whole concept.

    In brief..

    Well done! ^^

  • Awesome vid.

    WE SHOULD MAKE PEACE NOT WAR!!!!!!

  • This is why Hetalia is so great.

    On the surface, it's a satirical comedy, but it gives just enough leeway for the fans to delve into the deeper meanings.

    Awesome vid, mate!

  • Song matches with video. Nice work.... especially song makes me to think lot of things.

  • Haha, I liked the picture of America flipping them off.

  • 血を絵の上に重ねてる所とか

    人様が書いた絵をなんだと思ってるんだろうかと良識を疑ってしま­う

    無断転載にしてもこういうの見ると分かり合えないなあと思う

  • 同意

    やっぱ海外オタとは分かり合えないわ

    この動画と賞賛コメみてたらムカつき過ぎて吐き気がしてきた

  • Interesting video - I've always loved Zombie, and this cover of it is very nice.  But judging from a couple of these comments you're making some Japanese visitors squeamish : P

  • well, in hetalia there are some serious and sad moments, for exemple:

    - scene when Poland look through keyhole of his bathroom and see Lithuania's scars made by Russia

    - crying Russia during Bloody sunday

    - scene between England and USa during American Revolution

    - Japan's betrayal to China

  • Hetalia is sort of special (and a little heretical ) as a series. It gives the basis of the characters, what they look like, how they act, jokes, things that happen... but Hetalia to me seems to be like a set-up for the fans to create with them instead.

    It's kind of amazing to me how many dark serieses have funny fan-made things, and yet, Hetalia has a lot of serious art. The creater should be very, very proud of his work 8)

  • ah!! That's exactly why i love Hetalia so much!

  • A very interesting video, I must admit...

    What game was the American Revolution a part of?

  • I do not want to fight any longer.

  • hmm, what's the name of the game in this vid? X33

  • What is the name of the song??? I love this vid!

  • Pure awesomeness.

    That's all I can say.

    And that APH is one of the most amazing anime/manga EVAR!

  • Great job with the video. You really captured the other side of Hetalia. You did an amazing job mixing movies, games, and artworks. Can you send me the link to the pictures from 0:14 - 0:18 (the one with the Axis Powers and Allies holding guns) and 3:51 (the one with all the Allies)? Thanks a lot, and once again, great job.

  • Truly an awesome video...

  • Oh my god, this gave me shivers. O: Awesome. Ten kinds of awesome.

  • wow.. really... I mean I really like studying history and I must admit, I ended up liking a Hetalia character, not because they're cute or a fan favorite, but because of they're history.

    Man.. this is soo cool! Especially for someone like me who really loves history!

  • God this... Wow. I'm speechless.

  • i lik eit alot i love how you put the images of war in with hetalia your right even though hetalia is a fun going anime about the war we still need to remeber that it's not like that people do die and war is not a good thing. i think some poeple forget that when they watch it.

    you did a great job and think that this video should be shown on tv, and even on remberance day even.

  • It's true, people do forget while watching/reading it. But I think there's a good reason Hetalia isn't serious.

    I think it's better to find humor in our darkest times then to resurface all the bad memories- If Hetalia was more about the actual deaths of people versus the interaction between the characters, it would probably be very offensive to some. If one incident was shown from only one side or one incident had more attention than another you can imagine what troubles it'd cause.

  • I do agree with you and that is also one of the reason's that i like Hetalia it may not show the darker side of war and i don't think that the whole war was like that there are some happy moments even though there are very few, and i like how Hetalia shows that and tells facts about it at the same time not making fun about it.

    It is a great show and even though the characters in Hetalia are all chibi like i also like the fact that most fans do draw or make vidoes about how the war really was.

  • Yeah! The guy who made it is a very intelligent, creative guy. His series is an open canvas for the imagination!

  • I agree and i'm glad i was able to watch it but it didn't really end do you know if theres another season?

  • me too c:

    yeah! so glad there's a 2nd season<3

  • oh has the second season been translated yet? cause i looked for it and can't seem to find it

  • It hasn't even come out yet xD

  • THIS VID SHOULD BE ON HISTORY CHANNEL. INSTEAD OF THE COMMERCIALS,THEY SHOULD SHOW THIS !!!!!

    very good vid. This will definetly(how do you spell tat again?) remind us of that war will result in no good

  • Cool =3 I love this song and of course Hetalia XD

    what program is used to do this video??

  • I can't stop watching this video.

  • and that really was the perfect song

    i love that song by miser

  • wtf i randomly found this video lol.

    it is really moving.

    2:03 was touching

  • Holy sh.....that was incredible.....

    So moving and that was the perfect song for it....wow....great job thanks for sharing it

  • This reminds us of how nothing good ever comes from wars - why'd there be wars if the countries involved would be JUST TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN THE END ANYWAYS.

    *sighs* Hetalia reminds me of how good relationships between countries would be so much better than war...

    Hetalia rocks!!

    BTW, love the video!

    Did u see someone lose his leg? (3:12) T^T waah, i hate wars!

  • okay, forwarned, i am not saying war is the answer, but, its how people are. Human beings are naturally violent, restless and we create problems with one another because humans are also reluctant to change. I'm not saying we don't change, its just, as a general rule, we like things to stay the same. Talking things out would be wonderful, if we listened. thats the problem. Alot of people just think they're right, and theres no other way. War does suck, people loose family and themselves cus of it

  • That was epic. I love how this dosn't glorify war and yet is still an awesome video.

  • Wow...that was really....wow... good job.

  • Really nice video, I like the mixture you made between real war videos, movies and fanart (some of the awesome pictures, btw)

    could you please post a link to the place(s) where you found the pictures? It would be great to see them in full size :)

  • exelent video!

  • cool, i like this version of this song

    really nice video
