The original Hetalia isn't light-hearted? Um... okay.

Dudebro America hurts my soul. :(

(The anime is pretty shitty even in the original though. It's just a badly done adaptation.)

+1

I'm a fan of the original comic strips. The anime ... just isn't a good adaptation, and it leaves a lot out.

For me, the dub took the offensiveness way too far, and changed the characterization of many characters way too much for me to enjoy it, particularly America. And they did it deliberately in the name of being "edgy." Those of us who don't like the dub have good reason not to.

Sure absolutely. Nothing wrong with liking the dub, but it takes what I enjoy about the series and pretty much removes it. Seeing my favorite characters afforded a completely different personality isn't something I enjoy. And speaking of America, I was so happy with Hetalia and fell in love with his character because he WASN'T portrayed how I expected him to be. He's actually a really lovable guy. But the dub? Portrays him exactly how I was worried he'd be when I first found out about the series.

And the offensive jokes are just nope.

"MORE light-hearted" =/= "the original isn't light-hearted".

"doesn't take itself too seriously" is the wording on the secret.

That being said the original is more light-hearted than the dub. The dub has a hard-edged, satirical humor, whereas the original is sweeter and fluffier. So yeah, definitely more light-hearted.
