Aside from the inappropriate humour used in Hetalia when it first came out, are there any other problems that you still have with the series today?

Yes, very much so. It’s the same problem that I have with the anime industry in general. They have a tendency to sexualize young school children so that it’s deliberately marketed at adult audiences too.

Ex: Latvia and Estonia were originally characterized as 15 and 17 respectively. They shouldn’t have been incorporated into the fanservice waiter series that Himaruya posted on his blog.
