Return to Camelot

It has been a long and difficult relationship. We haven't seen each other in months and the fact my friends speak of his so often makes my heart ache with every imitation they do. But yesterday at a coffeehouse of all places we were reunited, and though the reunion was bit awkward we left with full intentions of catching. No I'm not talking about a guy....noob. I'm talking about the greatest thing to come out of the U.K. since the Beatles, the literal holy grail of the film industry....Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Say what you will about the plots incoherency...I think its bloody brilliant (Cheesy English Lingo mode:Engaged). I mean Monty Python in general was hilarious but this was just....(*3*)! But you may be wondering why I've had such a rocky love affair with this movie I adore so much. Well its a two part answer...the first reason I haven't watched it in so long is because I've been replacing live action movie and T.V. with shows of the more animated persuasion as you can see below. But the big reason we haven't been together in so long is tragically simple. My father despises British Humor....flat out hates it. My father, like most Americans,  never developed the acquired taste for the Brit's idea of hilarity, and so with the cream of the English movie crop banned from my household's T.V.'s my love was confined to Youtube and screenings at friends house where one is scolded for saying the lines before they actually occur. But to those of you who are members of the nerd community and are still unfamiliar with this....do not deprive yourselves any longer. If you are desperate for brutal sword play, killer lagomorphs, blessed beverage holders, and annoying frenchmen than well you should know by now where to go shouldn't you......

MADNESS?..THIS IS AUSTRIA!



Well it was inevitable. It is time to blog about one of the most epic story arcs in Hetalia world series-THE WAR OF AUSTRIAN SUCESSION! It is undecided in my book whether I like these few episodes because they deal with the actual battle between Austria and Prussia in 1740 (saving me a long time studying in history class) or because well the awesome cast. Anyway enough about me I'm sure you'd like to hear about the actual episode right? Well lets not keep you waiting. The episode opens with a new character waving to audience of jubilant austrians. This overdressed arstitocrat is Queen Maria Theresa, who after the extremely and unnessacaryily long opening credits the queen comes off to meet the personification of Austria.

They talk about the recent coronation another within six seconds the entire episode becomes a total war drama because apparently another personified country-Prussia stole a region in Austria called Silesia. Weirdly enough Prussia informs Austria of this via a cute message toting yellow chick. Austria has always been a pansy so he wants to surrender but maria theresa "talks him" into fighting Prussia and his awesome Austria crushing force (France Prussia and Spain)

The fact that France is opposing Austria attracted the attention of France's mortal enemy-England. England's support of Austria gave Austria some hope of victory, but Austria is still weak and looses in the first battle to the sly red eyed country and his army of awesome. After the defeat England fled leaving Austria alone to face the bad friends trio.

After returning to Vienns to inform Maria theresa of his defeat, but then we find the only other female character in this anime has made an appearance...along with around 100,000 soldiers prepared to fight for Austria-Ms. Hungary. Although reluctant to let a woman do the fighting for him Austria does not object to sitting on the sidelines and watching Hungary go all rage while destroying Prussia's army.

I mean that can't be a sane face. Anyways Prussia ends the war calling it a tie, but shouts he'll be keeping the Silesia territory for himself as he struts into the distance.
This is the holy grail of episodes for fans of this series the number of quotable lines from this arc alone are too many to count. And to sum it all up in a word....AWESOME
