Very late, around volume 11. You're not going to find many people talking about early episodes, so it's best to go through this forum's history and find topics about the episodes.

When did volume 11 come out in Japan?


Also, does anyone think that this anime will get licensed? It already happened with the manga.

It's not in America yet, but in came in America a couple of years back. This show will probably get licensed, it has enough fans to warrent its own subforum here!

At the current rate of publication (3 months per tankoubon), it will be out in a year. It might be faster to just learn enough Japanese to read Hayate raw, not all that hard, it has furigana. Realistically speaking, the scanlation effort has just finished the first chapter of the 8th Volume.

However, I'm actually fairly certain that it was the 9th Volume. Don't quote me on this, but IIRC, her first mention is in late Vol 9. I only got to around to Vol 10 so far because Japanese is painfully slow to read for me, but I remember that little page about Hayate's old girlfriend. I'm not sure that's her only mention though, just her first.

confirmed... hayate's ex-girlfriend is from volume 9

reformat the previous spoiler post a bit to include a couple of pictures of her.

Spoiler for volume 9: hayate's ex-girlfriend suspects:

#suspect 1:
Could she be a younger and less mature maria?
mari-a-chan -> a-tan (tan being a chan variation)?

Considering that the conversion about hayate not "worthy" enough to have a girl friend due to financial reasons at that young age does not really reflect a "rich spoilt girl".. more likely, it reflects a "mature" girl who knows about some of the difficulties of the world and is more aware of such concerns. A rich girl wouldn't mind anyway since she herself is already rich. but maria, although adopted, and aware of her orphan status, would be likely to say such things when young, before she acquire a more gentle side?

hayate's kindergarten girlfriend


young maria (yes.. hair in front is not curly... could be really different person, or just smoke cover by the artists)


#suspect 2: hina
hin-a-chan -> a-tan (tan being a chan variation)?

Similar reasons with that for maria. Even more than maria, hina undergoes money problem as a child when her parents abandoned her sister and her to a great debt (though still less than hayate). The kick and stuff also seems to suit her outright/frank and oft boyish manners. Only thing that made me place her as #2 is because of the art work. In the artwork, the girl seems older, and have slightly curly hair which seems to fit maria's profile more. Another factor to consider is that she knows the story of hayate's ex-girlfriend. Though not discounting she could have forgotten the incident totally she said when she is very young, it also sort of lower her suspect rating...

#suspect 3, based on money-mindedness and violent tendency......... Yukiji? nay... can't be.... impossible... eh.. right?

[dodgethis_sg]

Soooooo, let's make a wild ass guess. When will the first Neena Trinity parodies start to appear in Hayate?

If you think something's impossible, just remember what series this is (also remember the omake at the end of vol 4).

Thanks for confirming, wasn't sure since it was a while ago and my Japanese is terrible

I'm going to rule out Yukiji, just because she is significantly older than Hayate and would not be in the same kindergarten class.

Hina is unlikely given the hair and dress compared to the portrayals of her childhood. Age does match though.

Maria does seem to be the most likely out of all the possibilities, but why would she be in some random public kindergarten given her background?

Spoiler for mybad:

I do remember that she was already adopted when she was young and was sent to a school. a prestigeschool or not I cant remember.

please can any one confirm this?

edit:

Fix'd my bad.

[tripperazn]

Woah there, you might want to spoiler tag that first line. This might fit better with the manga discussion thread, since the people there will be better able to answer your questions.

[KatsuKy]

anyone knows what's going on with the english subbers for the anime?

I think they've more or less said that while they haven't dropped the show, it's a lower priority for them than their other ones, so the subs will come out as they are finished.

We recently enlisted the help of an additional typesetter. With her help, we should be able to catch up again

As a kickstart, 42 and 43 were just released.

Noooooooooooooooooo! Ah well, all good things come to an end...but I'm surprised it's not getting a 5th season given how they seem to be going with filler lately...

She went to Hakuou, iirc. It all depends on if Hakuou had a Kindergarten grade level, until Kenjiro gives us more.

Ironically, Hayate the Combat Butler has lately been drawing its best television household audience ratings during its one year run in the Kantou region of Japan (Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Saitama, Chiba, etc.), averaging 4.0% or more with the most recent episodes.

Before its recent string of 4.0+% ratings, Hayate managed to reach 4.0% only once before, with the original, much maligned episode 10.

More importantly, perhaps, Hayate has recently been drawing significantly higher TV ratings than the anime show which leads in to it on TV Tokyo, Anime Robby.

Going up against the Tokyo Marathon this past Sunday, which scored a rating of 20.6%, Hayate still managed to draw a respectable rating of 3.9%.

Maybe, just maybe...

Spoiler:

3/09「普通の話」
3/16「クイズ！宿敵と書いて友と読む！！」
3/23「春」
3/30「RADICAL DREAMRS」(終)

got this from 2chan -
speculated episode titles for the final four episodes of Hayate. If those titles were true, I have an idea on how they are going to end it.
HINT:

Spoiler:

manga special chapter. It's cool that they are ending it with one of my favorite chapters in the manga (albeit Nagi-centric). Just a consolation for the disappointment of not getting to see the Hina chapters animated. Hopefully a second season will get my hopes up.

May I know where could I see the anime. I've searched the whole YouTube and I've seen no sign or thread of Hayate's anime? Can anyone tell me where I could watch or even download the anime series? A thousand thanks

Well, I suppose the most natural answer would be: Right here on AnimeSuki.

In Vol. 173, March 5, 2008 of WEB Sunday's BACKSTAGE with Hayate no Gotoku! (Hayate the Combat Butler) mangaka Hata Kenjirou, Hata reveals that something new is in the works for Hayate no Gotoku!

Use this link to see Vol. 173 of Backstage with Hayate the Combat Butler comic artist Kenjiro Hata after Vol. 174 comes out next week.

The current Hayate no Gotoku! television anime series - the 52nd and final episode airs on TV Tokyo Sunday, March 30, 2008 - was scheduled from the start to run for only a year.

Speculations by Japanese fans on the something new being planned for Hayate no Gotoku! include 1) a second television anime series; 2) OVAs (a la Ranma 1/2 and Tennis no Oujisama {Prince of Tennis}); 3) an animated film; 4) a live action television series (a la Negima); and 5) a live action movie (a la Higurashi).

Someone even suggested a musical a la Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars).

Sakura Taisen used the same seiyuu from the games, the OVAs, and the television anime series in the musicals. However unlikely the event, a Hayate no Gotoku! musical probably would go the Sailormoon and Tennis no Oujisama route, employing stage actors instead of the seiyuu from the anime.

In addition, a lot of the Hayate no Gotoku! seiyuu are comparatively younger than the Sakura Taisen veteran seiyuu who performed in the Sakura Taisen musicals, and, anyway, are just too busy doing low paying voice work in anime (including the many late night, UHF, and CS/BS broadcasted anime series which have sprung up after the 1990s) to perform in musicals.
