01:403. Hetalaya Axis Powers 2010 Now Let's Lighten the Mood with Hetalaya
01:47Axis Powers, a quirky take on World War II and beyond.
01:51This anime personifies countries as characters think Italy as a carefree guy,
01:55Germany as a strict leader, and America as the loud hero.
01:59It's based on real historical events like the Axis and Allied Powers alliances,
02:04the Treaty of Versailles, and even the Cold War.
02:06Of course, it's heavily exaggerated for laughs, but the foundation is real geopolitics turned into a wild.
