Either the manga or the anime.
My favourite character in the manga is Iceland while my favourites in the TV series are Sealand and North Italy, cos they're adorable 
The episodes are only five minutes long so they're easy for people who don't have time to watch full length anime because of time.
Anyone else lovin' the humanised countries?

I'm obsessed with Hetalia.

I have a Hetalia obsession that comes and goes. Today it flared up again, because I just learned that Funimation licenced it, and the DVDs are slated for North American release later this year.
What's funny is that I actually emailed Funimation around late summer/early fall last year and recommended that they licence it, saying it had a lot of fans and such. I change gmail accounts frequently, so I don't know if they responded to it or not. I dunno if that one email is what got them to look into it, or what... But it's nice to think that the biggest name in anime distribution is looking out for their fans.
Anyway, I hope that they use accents for the different countries in the dub like they did for Hellsing! I just want it to feel authentic, y'know?
I don't really have a favorite Hetalia character. I like them all for different reasons.

Sweet. I'll have to check it out sometime. Have you seen that survey funimation.com had up a few months ago? I believe it had Hetalia on the list of animes the fans want dubbed as well as a redub of the entire Sailor Moon series (the first anime that I really liked). I didn't pick Hetalia at the time (you got to choose as many as you wanted), because I didn't know what it was, so I just chose the Sailor Moon redub (I REALLY want a redub of it).

I hope Funimation don't PC it up. If I'm not mistaken, they licensed one of the Gundam series for the western market, and were on the verge of removing all the robots that took part in the world tournament that were considered national stereotypes.
Since this is DVD-only, I HOPE they keep all the good stuff in.
Imagine if 4kids, back when they did anime, got the rights...

Ohh I see. I think it was kind of self-centered of me to think that my email was the one that caused them to licence it. ^^;;; Sorry 'bout that. Did you by any chance see if Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) was on that list? That's the other anime I've been really wanting a dub for (along with Hetalia).

I think it was.
Yes!
I'll keep a watchful eye on Funi's website to see if they actually aquire a license to it, which I'm almost positive they will, being that it's just about as popular as Hetalia.

Sealand is adorable, and America is hilarious!
But I wish they had an Emirates character that they gave more screen time.
