Fallen Behind in the Series:

t's been quite awhile since I've been in the Hetalia series. I haven't watched since World Series, and though I know that the World Stars manga is out and that Portugal is an official character, what all have I missed ( Read more... )

I was in just such a predicament just a couple months ago, having decided to catch up when I heard about the Hetalia musical (which happened in December, and the DVD will be released May 25 of this year).

FUNimation has almost all of the new episodes available to watch on their website for free, which is what helped me the most. Also, Hetalia File Archive has all old and new scanlations, including that of World Stars. It took me a week to catch up on about 4 years of missed Hetalia, since everything is still very short to both watch and read. Since World Twinkle is the newest series and was a simulcast, it'll probably be dubbed sometime this year, but all the rest of the series have been dubbed, though without a paid membership to FUNimation, you can only access the subs for free. (I highly recommend the subs for quite a few of the Beautiful World episodes, as there is definitely a feeling of "lost in translation" when watching it dubbed in English... particularly with the episodes that focus on France.) You can also torrent a batch ( ... )

This is a pretty good summary, honestly. XD

I just got Hetarchive caught up with the newest World Stars chapters. I'm just a bit behind on the blog mirror, but I think the above post has most of the important info covered.

There's also a couple bonus chapters of World Stars, which I currently don't have on Hetarchive, but they can be found on the hetascanlations tumblr. There's a chapter with Ancient Egypt (part 1, part 2) and one with Hungary. There's probably some other stuff on the Hetascans blog that I haven't had time to mirror, so feel free to browse that (the "Projects" page should list everything).

The Hetaween 2011 event animation is to be released straight to DVD on the 24th this month. It's supposed to come with a soundtrack for The World Twinkle as well. No idea when we'll see it, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.

I think the only other thing worth mentioning at the moment might be The Hetalian Horror Show, which is a visual novel Himaruya released on his blog of some of the Hetalia characters telling "scary" stories. There's a mirror post with download ( ... )

Random question, are the two chapters about Ancient Egypt and Hungary not posted online? The Japanese original that it.

Those were special bonus chapters from issues of Jump SQ to help promo the World Stars books releases, so they were never published online. The Ancient Egypt one was published in the second volume of World Stars, but the Hungary one didn't make it into volume three, I was kind of surprised...

There's another one that went with the release of volume three that sort of focuses on Belgium, but we don't have it translated yet.

I see.....so it was Belgium for volume three. Looks like he will be doing female characters for these specials. Thanks : )

God it's been so long since I've been into hetalia. Ive been feeling nostalgic and want to catch up too but what I'm really curious about is if the 2011 bloodbath was ever given a proper ending. I remember it ending on a cliffhanger b4 himaruya dissapeared for a year. Did he ever give it a proper ending or explanation?

Nope. That one is still unfinished. He did do another "Xmas" event around the end of 2014/beginning of 2015, and the posts were tagged as "Christmas 2011", but they were mostly just drawing requests.
