I'd guess Nagi probably is (which might speak a little for Athena, but only as a storyline character), or maybe Izumi, Miki or Ayumu (they've been given enjoyable character traits). Athena's only been given two major arcs to focus in, and those weren't even hers, those were clearly Hayate-centric arcs. Hinagiku is probably only the excutives favorite characters, not Hata's, you can actually tell when the execs told Hata to put her in. >.<

And, it would help justified why Hayate said he loves Athena to the anime-only fans. That's important, right? |

I also agree on the EoTW arc as a movie, since it's the pillar of the current storyline. But, at the same time, that'd probably be too serious for a HnG movie, and only Athena and Hayate would show up - with one or two additional characters like Maria and Izumi.
All the same, I can also see an original plot for the movie.

I do agree with it being Athena-centric, but I don't think it'll be something canon. Maybe it'll have something to do with the live action show that they're planning as well?

An issue with animating the EoTW arc is that the build-up to it wasn't in season 2, other than Hayate mentioning A-tan for the first time. However, Hayate did remember her in other occasions, Izumi's arc being the most important build-up, when Hayate broke into tears after remembering Athena.
There's also the fact that, as I've already mentioned, that it'd basically revolve around Hayate ad Athena. So, fans of other characters wouldn't be able to see the characters they like the most. Not to mention that there was barely any comedy in this arc. Therefore, people who may be in for some laughs due to parodies and randomness - which is what HnG is known for - won't be able to get any of that. I also don't think the EoTW arc is long enough to make a movie, unless they come up with new scenes. I'm sure the movie will be an original story.

The story could be easily framed with all the other characters present, something like the episode 0 event going on to get comments from all the characters while the story was going on, covers both the humor aspect and includes many of the characters... Except for the fact that we aren't entirely sure which of the characters actually know about it. Maybe only Athena and Hayate know the story, so Hayate relating it in a party atmosphere wouldn't fit, and somewhat defeats the mood of the entire arc. The EoTW and Athens arcs are serious arcs. Though... they could try doing the start of the 2nd year and the hiking trip associated with that as a movie, since the lead-up to that was already implied and it hasn't really had an effect on the overall plot. Possibly allowing them to start a 3rd season with the EoTW arc. I still think that the movie will be composed of movie/anime continuity only events.

I don't know about the Tsubasa Chronicles OVAs, but Athena is a completely new character. She showed up with, basically, no precedent at all, other than the build-up that had been had before, which, I believe, was rather important - especially the scenes during Sakuya's birthday and Izumi's arc.
As for the idea that the EotW arc could make a full season (12 eps one). I don't think so. The EoTW arc barely has 10 chapters - 11 if we count the final one at the end of the Greece arc. If you were to add anything else - and you'd have to add a lot, that'd be almost like a massive filler - of course, unless the whole thing is actually written by Hata. But, either way, what we've got here is a movie. Perhaps, I exaggerated a bit by saying the EoTW arc wasn't long enough to make a movie, but I think the other points still stand. I think it would feel too un-HnGish, considering the serious mood of the whole arc.

EotW ought to be saved for the end of the third season, although that'd require a good deal of filler, since there really isn't much between the end of s2 and the start of EotW, especially if the first arc is moved to the movie.... but then they could just use some of the chapters they skipped before. I want my Risa chapter and my persimmons chapter fffffff Or more likely, they'll have EotW come in about halfway through the season. Pff. Anyway, this should probably be saved for the movie speculation thread. Anyway.... Just read 299. I take it that since Yozora says she's attacking Hayate because Nagi broke the gem, it's really Nagi's she's after, and Hayate's just in the way. She said something about that before, didn't she? Also, about that shot of Athene at the end. She might be coming back to Japan, but there's also the possibility that we'll see a bit of what went on between her and Aika after everyone else left Athens. I think that'd be more interesting, really....

Given that the shot of Athena at the end was after Hayate was tired, I'm thinking that that shot and most of, if not all, of chapter 300 (including the character poll results) will be framed as a dream and be thrown away as filler, amusing filler, but filler none-the-less, and the story will pick up again in chapter 301. So no Athena re-entering the storyline, yet.

I find it amusing that I read that perfectly opposite what you probably intended (given the rest of the post) and it still made perfect sense. Even further in that neither of them are significantly 'board-like' in any dimension.

But the picture doesn't seem to have any significance to it with what we've been told. I'm guessing that the whole picture would have told the holder who had been the original 'capture team', possibly how they had gotten cursed, but how it ties in is blank.

Personally, I think Hata did a great job in this chapter. We all know that Athena is going to return, but returning in her adult form results in a lot of confrontations that extremely difficult to resolve. Will Hayate stay with Nagi or will he go back to Athena? No matter which one he choose, it will be kind a betrayal to the other. But if A-tan come back as kid, the tension is defused greatly, and we get a pleasant surprise.
On the other hand, I doubt fans can accept a harem end or no-resolution end. Hayate has to make a choice eventually. This is just postponing the decision down the road.
