Awesome episode.
The narrator just makes every episode just that much more enjoyable. I was disappointed when Ayumu entered the episode; ruined Hayate's night with Hinagiku. It was still pretty funny after that, but man Hayate needs some closure with Hinagiku. The next episode preview was hilarious as well. Best part was the cat eyes at the end when Isumi is in the hot spring. |

This is where things are _beginning_, not ending. It's only going to get harder and harder and harder between those two. We're now in the 80es of the manga, and the latest chapter is 223, and the need for "closure" is bigger than ever *chuckle* |

Well, I meant that the they need to close the deal, tie the knot, etc. Close the chapter of pretending they don't know each other's feelings and begin a relationship.
I don't read the manga so no idea where they currently are . |

Hina hasn't even realised yet that she's in love with Hayate, I believe it's a bit too early to alrdy put em in a relationship. It's clear that they both like each other and that there's a tension between 'em, not to mention the better mutual understanding due to having the same past, but this is still only the start ^^;

Another great episode! Lots of Ayumu and Hinagiku is win (for me)!
*looks at the scene with Ayumu and Hinagiku laying with Shiranui* ... ...... Let's just go with Ayumu x Hinagiku... Super dense Hayate can be along for the rest of his life. All is solved. Haa... Especially after looking at something like Saki (keh, Gonzo...), I really appreciate the fact the entire bath screen isn't covered in fog. Preview: ...Who is this twin-tails girl? A new character?... <--Index treatment Quote:
And if it is Hinagiku, there are the various landmines already set thanks to the idiotic officials...

Hina and Ayumu's interactions together are probably my favorite moments too. Quote:
What is officially done. To put it a lot more simply, the clear favoring of Hinagiku in everything (officially). You know, it's kind of like how something is "so popular", haters appear. 110% sure that some people have ended up hating Hinagiku because of this... So we have these people that are already hating Hinagiku for the way she is treated (in real life). It wouldn't be pretty if Hinagiku wins... It already wouldn't be pretty if the fans of other characters got angry over their character's loss, but if you add in hatred for the winning character herself... I personally don't know much about it, but that Hina birthday thing... is one example. Another very obvious one is this season's ED. To the ever-so-loyal Hinagiku followers, it might not be anything other than a treat, but to the fans of other characters, it probably irritates them. Heck, I like Hinagiku myself, and the first time I saw that ED, I was completely horrified... Looking at it causes pure irritation even now...

I'd say one of the reason why Hina is getting a bit more storyline usage than e.g. Ayumu (though not as much as you seem to imply) is that she's arguably the most flexibly usable character in the show. She can be used for action and comedy and character development alike. Ayumu is very straightforward and barely ever wavers - which makes her a pleasing and very likable character, but at the same time also limits her scope a bit, at least in her dealings with Hayate. Which is why her relationship with Hina is much more interesting (IMHO) Quote:

I expected this episode to be better because of how much Hina/Ayumi is in it. For some reason it wasn't as good as I thought it'd be.
Barring that, next episode will have Sakuya in it, right? RIGHT!? Can't wait for some good Sakuya action. |

serenade_beta, if you are colling an orriginal mangaka an official then yes there is a favoritism but in anime - not that many. And as it was mentioned Hina fans were cheated in the S1.
Also do you know how many there are Hina fans and other girl fans? If Hayate chooses someone else but Hina it may end up not pretty, simply because Hina is MUCH more popular than any other girl in HnG. So what if some people started to hate her as you say? No one cares as they are a very small minority compared to the amount that loves her... As for Mangaka's preference - yeah he does seem to prefer Hina, but can you blame it? He knows he sits on the gold mine and tries to milk it, pushing all other silver mines to the side, specially because he never expected it to be such rich goldmine to begin with. |

I think you are associating what I said with the manga... I am talking about... this: http://www.amazon.co.jp/HiNA-%E5%88%...2456255&sr=8-4 Ah~, here is a comment that seems to be reacting according to what I was trying to say... maybe: Quote:
Ah~, reading the description a bit, I remember what stuck in my memory. The "ヒナ祭り祭り" thing, not her birthday... The reason I had "her birthday" in my memories is something else... Quote:
Like I'm trying to say(?), the point isn't the fact the people start hating Hinagiku (honestly, she's 2D...), but what those people will do. Of course, I'm talking about the extremes, so there isn't a high chance of it happening, but from time to time, I am sure we all have seen what some people will end up doing over developments to stuff (manga/games) that they don't like... Of course, for that reason, if Hinagiku wins, there will be a lot more people celebrating, as you say... Though the thought that who Hayate ends with is determined/changed according to popularity doesn't leave me feeling good... Then again, I find it sad that if Hinagiku does win, I probably could only see that as because she is popular... (EDIT: Coming back, what you are saying really feels like... I don't know, what I was talking about... the "Hinagiku is the most popular, so *insert event*. The rest? Who cares!"-type...) .....................Wonder if I'm still half-asleep... Getting a bit confused over what I am writting... Let's see, something to finish this up... Well, as Mentar says, we'll see... The main thing for me is to see the manga actually get to that point instead of dragging it out for more and more volumes (in other words, I personally would like to see the manga end soon)... No point in worrying about something I can't control or hasn't even happened! Ou~! <--Hah? Quote:

I think Ayumu said it best... Hayate is indeed attracted to more 'mature' women.
Now what's ironic is that both of these 'mature' women has as of now commited to rooting another person to win Hayate's heart lol. |

Wow, after this episode, I have very much skewed in favor of Hinagiku. I loved Ayumi, too, but Hinagiku is such a better character to develop. For anyone to say that Hinagiku will "win" because of popularity is not fair.
I think that if she wins, it is because the mangaka wants her to win and intended it as such. If the writers begin to love a character as they start writing the story, they end up sometimes turning that character into the main character, like in Full Metal Panic. Anyway, did we already find out what this "secret" that makes Hayate similar to Hinagiku is yet? I can't recall if it was ever mentioned before, or is this just a teaser for things to come?

Yet because we don't have the ability to read people's minds, we can't know. We just end up seeing it the way we see it... Of course (no offense), it isn't the most convincing when someone rooting for Hinagiku says it... Now if someone who hates Hinagiku (...Why do I keep typing Hinagiku as Hingaku...) says what you said, then... Quote:
PS: Ayumu desu...
