I wouldn’t say this annoys me greatly, but it’s definitely a
bit of a pet peeve of mine. Hardly any Hetalia characters are plain or
undeveloped. Even the less developed characters such as Seychelles or Belgium
are given enough depth and personality [don’t worry, I’ll eventually cover
them, as requested]. Unfortunately, the anime doesn’t showcase this due to time
constraints.

Spain isn’t plain. He never was, and some people’s
description of him simply doesn’t give his character justice. Claims that Spain
doesn’t stand out from other characters are unfounded. It doesn’t even take a
lot of digging to find many highpoints in his character. They’re all there; let’s
not sell him short in light of falling back on the lazy and cheap argument that
Hima’s portrayal of him is basic.

While I’ve done a post highlighting the lesser known sides
of him [x], I think now would be a good time to highlight how wonderful and
selfless his personality is.

Post on Spain coming up tonight!
