Polandball comics are wiggly MS Paint-drawn comics where balls represent different countries. They poke fun at national stereotypes and the "international drama" of their diplomatic relations. Polandball, also known as Countryballs, combines history, geography, Engrish, and an inferiority complex. Polandball comics first appeared in 2009 on a German image board int ze internetz and was later popularized on Reddit's /r/polandball subreddit, today being a community of more than 660k subscribers.

I just read the comic, and it's probably the only comic that will come close to making me feel emotional

[@chrzanaptor]

from the title alone i knew it was going to be abour hinadira. i love her work.

[@chrzanaptor]

it might be because I'm polish and we polish people communicate telepathically - but i never realised how different the polish perspective on polandball is from all other foreign perspectives, until this video pointed it out -> 4:30. im not the most active /r/polandball user, unfortunetely, but when i first got into it, it shaped me drastically, both how i draw and how i see the world. the subreddit is very important to me because of it. i feel like hinadira's comics are the biggest factor in it, because of the polish perspective, that sense of familiarity. i think if not for hinadira's comics, /r/polandball couldve been way less impactful in my life than it is right now. i can also relate to what hina describes here -> 8:09 - 8:44, as my drawings were also considered weird, i was always scared to show them to the world (i still am). and also the 15:12 - 15:48 segment, im also more into science, but i also want to make impactful stories through art - it sounds silly, but it makes it all even more personal for me. i'm happy this video was made, so more people can appreciate the beauty of hina's art and the genius of her writing. thank you so much for inspring me all this time! i hope this doesn't sound too corny, i just wanted to let it out for once instead of lurking.

Although I loved The Greatest Enemy, I think my favorite Hinadira comic would be Finish Conversation

[@Mr.GooberII]

Yeah I would agree with that too.

[@SuperDan000]

Hinadira has created some of the best art for a Polandball comic. So much so that the Greatest Enemy has become a favourite of mine and that no other Polanball comic has ever come close to its level of storytelling, emotional impact, art and subtle details.

[@BiodegradableYTP]

Ah, another fascinating history lesson from Professor CSM. This was awesome to watch and I hunger for more. :^)

[@Sam_Sam2]

Somewhat irrelevant but will there ever come a time in which the channel can retire “Countryball” as a term and just use Polandball all the time.

[@BiodegradableYTP]

"Polandball" is the medium, "Countryballs" are the characters. I don't see why we can't have both.

[@PolandballOfficialYT]

The name "countryballs" is the standard on KZbin. We'd only be hurting our own growth by not using it.

[@Aussie-ChineseBallAnimations]

@@BiodegradableYTP i see your point

[@alielsherif1566]

Oh hey, just discovered polandball has a youtube, glad to be one of the people who have their art on the official wiki

[@KartingRules]

Hinadira our beloved
