I don't know where to put this, but Hinagiku Katsura and Mikoto Misaka (From Index) - both their personalities are very similar. They both are extremely smart (both even wear shorts!). They both also are the most popular characters for their series.
Does anyone know where these characters were inspired from? I'm also a little curious. What's their popularity like for Males and for Females viewers of the show? |

Sorry if I sound like I'm intruding and If I post in the wrong spot, but I just wanted to put my input opinion on the series so far which is...
When the hell are they gonna reveal who Hayate really likes? Theres seems to be too many hints. - RemieGino14 - |

Who knows if he lieks someone out of the bunch? Maybe he had already liked someone. Too bad I wouldn't read the manga raws section for fearing that I would spoil myself and forever change my future expectations in the series. Oh woe is me for not wanting to know more.

You gotta figure Relentlessflame's correct, because no matter who Hayate ends up with from his considerable harem, a sizable chunk of the audience is gonna be p.o'd that it wasn't somebody else and won't stick around to see what happens next. No one wants to take the chance on losing audience numbers and so the manga keeps ratcheting up the sexual tension and, along with the anime which now seems to basically just regurgitate the manga storyline, has settled into a nice little rom-com rut and every time the story starts to sag they'll just trot out a new female. It will go on so long that in the end most people won't really care who ends up with whom. I'm staying for the occasional flash of visual satire or fairly brilliant humorous commentary Spoiler:

Well, what I enjoy most about Hayate are the meta references.
So on the whole "who does Hayate end up with?" question, I'm more interested in whether Nagi (or another character, but I figure Nagi is most likely to figure it out) comes to realize that she's competing in a harem anime scenario over Hayate, and what genre savvy attempts she will then make to try and exploit the common tropes. For example, will she try something revolving around her apparent (to her) "First Girl" status? Will she discover that Ayumu is actually the "First Girl" (in the anime)? Will there be an anime vs manga debate? Will Nagi then ensnare Wataru and his semi-harem into being her guinea pig to test things on? (Poor Wataru- Isumi will probably get a bad impression of him again). Hmmm... what other self-mocking shenanigans can the show get into? And all the while Hayate continues being completely oblivious... |

I recently (within the past few months) finished the first season and moved on to the second season, so I'm all caught up with the series. That said...
How the hell did the writers know my two favorite anime series in descending order in Episode 44?!!? First it was Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, using the Nia Teppelin, then they cut to someone cosplaying as Eruruu form Utawarerumono!! How do they know this stuff?! Seriously, that's the biggest coincidence I've ever witnessed in my life. I was half-expecting Clannad to make an appearance next. |

Update: I didn't notice the "in anime" part so sorry for that. Nagi doesn't care whether Ayumu is the first or not, she owns Hayate and thinks that he loves her. Both Ayumu and Nagi's position are one-sided, same with the other girls. So I've yet to see this as a real competition. Quote:

I just finished watching the first season and I have to say this really was a fantastic anime. I've never watched an anime as ridiculous as this that has also simultaneously been this funny and cutesy before. Granted there were some episodes I didn't like, but it still was amazingly well executed.

Anyways, Im kinda hoping a new characte will show up now. It will make the show more interesting (ifpossible)
1. Needs to be a guy around Hayates age 2. Has to be good looking and is popular with the girls at Hakuo and be good at a sport 3. He has to be in love with Hinagiku and open with his crush It'll be kinda comical He'll be the one who always make advances on Hina but gets rejected everytime e.g While Hayates getting beat up by Nagi, he puts his arm coolly aroung Hina and asks her to dinner, which then she punches him on the side of the face and says something that is a rejection Also, he can see that Hayate and Hina like each other and tries to beat Haate at everything to win Hinas heart |
