Hayate the Combat Butler {Hayate no Gotoku!} generic discussion

[Chaos2Frozen]

Heheh, I lol-ed at next week's title!

"First mission ~ This is Snake. No one's responding."

I can't remember if it's the same title as what they used in the manga, but it sure fits whats going to happen

[Unentschieden]

I like how they add new stuff. The "talking for 3 Eps" gag really got me. If they really skip to the school part in the next Episode it will diverge from the manga quite a bit but Im confident they got the mangas "spirit" aka reference spam^^. There are a lot and i´m shure i just got half of them. I also like how they even make jokes about comedy tropes, every other gag anime would have maria bitch at Hayate instead of her instantly guessing the situation right.
Also they "censored" anything remotely brutal but completely forgot the longinus lances.

*start chanting* "legend!! legend!!! legend!!..."
hayate has got to be one of the coolest guys ive seen hes either really really nice with a heart of an angel (not to sure after the first ep) or just dumb ~ but i really like him whatever he is...hes like a working machine...and i nearly died laughing when he was censored for varous bleedings after being hit by that car XD
i like the style of the narration...and even hayate seems to be talking to the viewer at times ~ great first impression

*goes to watch ep 2 and 3*

btw, something ive been wondering. at the part where klaus is saying how to disable the robot "... open it and enter 1192..." and maria interupts and just says "for the time being, just break it and it'll probably stop", did she interupt coz it sounded like it was gonna be a long-ass explaination, or was she trying to hide something embarassing by diverting the conversation? (maybe the password is her measurements or birthday or something). just wondering if this was omitted in the anime or something. coz she did the same thing in ep2 to make hayate forget about the bath incident

EDIT: @manga readers: TELL ME maria gets sh*t loads of screentime for the rest of the series!

In the manga, or at least the translation I read, Klaus says something like "open the back panel, navigate the touchscreen menu to the 'emergency shutdown' option and enter the password blah blah blah..." at which point Maria interrupts him. Obviously that's far too complicated to do with a rampaging robot.

Oh, and they've already cut down on Maria's screentime in episodes one and two, and when they add new characters it'll become proportionally less. Apparently the animators don't like Maria very much.

[Deathkillz]

just watched ep 2 and 3 ~ boy the parodies are a cracker
seeing black lagoon cropping up first caught me completely by surprise ~ then there was the sailor moon and bleeped out FREEZA!! XD great series so far :3

Oh, and I'm in love with Maria.

Those spears looked familiar...

Spoiler:

Ahh so i wasn't the only one who thought those lances where very similar to the Lance of Longinus, even the pose reminds me of the impaled EVA-02

nooooo! ah man that kinda sux, she's the best character

i wonder if there's a version with all the bleeping cut out, hmm... maybe that'll be on the DVDs. some of them, i really would like to know what they were gonna say. "freeza" was easy to hear though

So, Viz is translating the manga? Smeg, I wish it was TokyoPop.

The way this show throws parody around, I was trying to figure out if there was some other anime that used the combination 1192.

(although, Bahamut's explanation from the manga sounds better.)

My favorite line from ep3: "Okay, that's good for the adult viewers. But I'm talking about something else!"

Scary... There's an entire domain for cyclamen

Funny thing is the copyright. You cannot use it without permission but when the name is beeped out on TV the laughter factor increases.

Spoiler for Identified Bloopers by Myself on this episode:

Nagi should get an update.

Barely anyone would still play Playstation and N64. She needs to purchase an X-Box, Playstation 3, and Wii. She is rich, therefore, she can afford it.

Or better yet have Santa pay for them, and use Hayate's slave years as the mortgage.

Tigers usually do not live in Africa, particularly the white ones.

Spoiler for What Lessons Episode 3 Taught Me?:

1. By the time Hayate pays off his debt his spring days would be way long gone, and he'll be a dried geezer and still poor.

2. Mama told me not to give long speeches about how uncool and dumb tigers are behind one.

3. Brand names (either international or national ones) will always get beeped out when said on TV to avoid copyright infringement.
In México we have the Super Portero or Masked Goalkeeper. When someone usually saids a word or phrase that sounds cacophonically identical to a brand name he will suddenly pop out of the blue and scold the infractor for violating copyright infringements. When someone says a brand name it is like if someone shoots the ball to the goalie, and it is his job to prevent someone from scoring an illegal infringement.

4. To the dissapointment of fans out there Hayate can only manifest a power aura, but he doesn't show multiple transformations unlike Freeza.

5. Tama is neither Tony the Tiger nor Meowth either.

6. Regardless of anyone else who is cool or handsome that Klaus may suggest to Nagi to hire over Hayate, she will always keep Hayate due that she likes him poor.

7. Mama told me not to say bad things about robots because machines are temperamental.

8. Do not assume that what you think about others is essentially true, or else they will snap at you to go and die at some lonely place.

9. Keep your feet and paws off the grass and flower fields. Moe maids mean it when they get angry.

10. Kids must never try or copy whatever stunt is shown on this anime at their homes. They got only one Hayate to do the stunts, and he can barely wake up from the coma to be fresh and ready for the next scene.

Spoiler for A Suggestion to Klaus:

If he dislikes Hayate due to his poorness or simply finds the lad incompetent to jeopardize his life for lady Nagi, then why not the geezer keeps in contact with Garderobe and requests that they send an Otome to fill the position?

Oh, wait! The point of this show is to have a combat butler putting with all mayhem and chaos at service of his master.

I didn't think so either:


My guess is they are associated with the anime, but I have absolutely no proof of that. Notice they are draw in a fairly realistic style. I'm sure they are real people.

[radancein]

After 3 episodes, I am now quite curious about the manga. For the chinese readers out there, does anyone know whether the chinese version is in the stores now? And if so what is the title in chinese?

I believe currently 10 volumes are out. The name of it is 旋风管家.

Spoiler for Manga-ka's mistake:

Yes, you are right.

However, when Kenjiro Hata introduced Tama, he thought tigers would be in Africa because "it has all sorts of carnivorous creatures" (which he said he believed blindly for 20 years only to be told by his readers of his faux paus)

He decided to leave it as is to make room for some kind of side-story he'll write later.

(from the 'Tama' profile in the english version of the manga)

Give your translator/editor a raise Mentar, because they deserve it after that line.

[Mecha_Trueno]

wtf happened to me man... at first i thought this was one of those "ok, nothing special, but i'll watch it whenever it does comes out" and now its become a "i cant wait for the next ep each week!" and i actually rewatch parts to laugh at

[FlareKnight]

Yeah really sad how behind the times Nagi is. Do people still use N64? While Hayate doesn't have any transformations maybe we'll see some fusions coming up . Show really is great in how it plays around with this stuff.

These are just the N64 and Playstation rooms. As in, the house was built around them. She didn't take a room and put an N64 in it, it was part of the blueprint. That's the N64 room. She probably has the Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 rooms in a newer wing or something...

Well, that's my theory...

[Jazzrat]

Why remove a N64 room for newer console when you can just build another room for em?

Not to mention, I think Nagi is a hardcore geek, wouldn't be surprised if she still plays N64 from time to time (i myself play EGA games that can be dated back from 1980s)
