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

[Wandering_Youth]

Spoiler:

An interesting episode. I never thought Hayate was a master swordsman and he caught Wataru's sword with just his two fingers. Whoa...

Man, poor Hayate has it tough right near the end where he's stinking dad used his name to rent some movies. I can just see in future episodes that we're going to see something form his mom later.

[Shiroth]

The Gurren Lagann mention in the Video/Game store was absolutely genius. Did not see that coming --- nicely added.

Next episode preview.. i died. Its time for Hayate to be more love-love. <3

was it that shocking? as hayate would put it..."i train everyday" hes perfect in everyway as a person not to mention indestructible XD only weakness in hayate's character is that hes just too dam kind! >.<

and yea i find hayate's parents really annoying...gah

[garra113]

Ok. I am back lol. You know what that means FruitFly :P. Tell me the refrences please xD. Also

YES YES YES YES!!!! MY LONG AWAITED DREAM HAS COME. NEKOMIMI HAYATE-SAMA LOL!!!.

[Hyouzan]

most poeple would likely call that a nightmare

Spoiler for hmmm....:

isumi can be very mean somtimes even if she really doesn't mean it (or does she ?? of all the girls in hayate imo she's the most complicated one )

[Matt Soulblade]

Lol, did neko-tarpp finally appear? Or it will make its appearance on ep 8?

[rarukyu]

awesome ep. 7 haa funny how isumi was already gone when maria, hayate and nagi had their eyes away from her for only a moment lol. funny :P can anyone make an avatar of saki from 17:47 - 17:51 ? it would be very much appreciated haha in anycase the next ep seems kinda disturbing lol

[xxxplizit]

The preview of Ep 8 disturbs me severely. Hayate on such outfits = teh WTF. Kinda reminds me of Man-Faye or those Man-Yunas or even Man-Sailor-Moons I see in big anime conventions (one is coming up next week), though not as disturbing.

[Telliamed]

My brother bought one of those train sims a few years back. It's the most boring thing. Not even like a racing game because you actually have to obey speed limits and signals and crap.

Anyway, I'm a bit conflicted about this episode. I couldn't find Conan anywhere. Although I'm not sure about one scene: In the video store there's a poster that says "SPACECONAN" and next to it is another similar poster with a blue shape in the corner that might be Conan's face. Could someone with the HD version check it out?
The only other possibility is the first bump, but I haven't been considering the bumps as part of the show. Then again, I had to go to the preview to spot him in episode 1, so I guess the bumps will have to count, or else this will be the first Conan-less episode.

Favorite quote: Nagi, "Hayate is furious! I must resolve this misunderstanding."
uh... It's a little late for that.

Is this anything?


I was wondering if they were gonna do a Claymore reference when I saw those swords.

Santa-san is a construction worker now.

Is it just me? It looked like all the videos in that store were H.

Ah I had fun

Spoiler for s:

I just learned how to make avatars. I'm sure someone else can make one better.

That's the goddess in the manga that introduces each volume
I wonder if she'll make a live appearance.

Oo nice find. I zoomed in, but it doesn't look like conan to me. Looks more like some fat old guy with thick eyebrows, afro, and circle glasses. The conan statue is right before the commercial break behind wataru though it's not really in the actually episode.

Ep 7

This show... is just... so funny. I almost died during the sword fight.

Starting to get really attached to the characters as well. Just like so many other series with huge ensemble casts of mostly females, the main male character has a plethora of girls after him, which is something that usually bewilders me in anime, since the reasons why the girls are attracted to them can be horribly stupid at times (see Shuffle for one of numerous examples of that), but there are those rare cases where the main male character is actually charismatic enough that one can swallow it. And I'd say Hayate is an example of that. It just helps series like this so much if the personalities are likable, and I'd say almost all of them are here... even if they are somewhat simplistic (but it is a gag comedy after all).

Anyway, this show continues to be absolutely hilarious, which is a good sign for the future, since this is generally where the initial luster of most anime comedies starts to wear off. I always think the sign of a great comedy in anime is that it's still funny right up until the final episodes, and I'm almost willing to stick my neck out with this anime and say that I'm expecting Hayate no Gotoku to still be funny at the end. Almost.

[Anh_Minh]

It also helps that, with the exception of Nagi, none of the girls fell head over heels for him within the first five minutes of meeting him. They like him to some smaller or greater degree, but they're not in love and won't do absurd things for his sake.

[rarukyu]

thanks a lot Fruitfly!! yay! a saki avatar

[Deathkillz]

2 things ive noticed after rewatching with the subs ~



the choice of words used here is absolutely side splitting ~ it brings back good memories the last time i "decked" someone



i knew it sounded familiar the first time ~ its a reference to Tokyo Mew Mew (and with hayate looking like that it makes the gag 10 times better XD)

[itzfurrball]

some signs/titles in video store:

Spoiler:

大夜叉 ooyasha => 犬夜叉 inuyasha
うえきが規則　ueki ga kisoku => うえきの法則 ueki no housoku
היו סתם כל מני דברים מוזרים: kyojin gash no bouken (kin iro no gash), seebs, towns, free-wee, kao no aru kishi (knight with a face), LOUN, himitsu shima (the secret island), SOLARAS, STAR WORLD, maze of love, all about my father, ore no kagaku (my science), KAJINA, wingbings...

[Guido]

Spoiler for Common Sense for episode seven:

Nagi. Misunderstands her views of Hayate about him loving her.

Hayate. Stinky acting that killed off Wataru's pride. Debt increased after his father, Ayasaki Shun, signed for a registration fee at Video Rental Shinjuku HQ using his son's name and picture to rent unspeakable anime video treasures behind Hayate's back. Debt increased to another Y1,580,000.

Wataru. Clinging on the futile dream that Isumi will ever look at him for a date. Girls generally do not fall for the guy that shows off. He has absolutely made it clear that he has no intention of becoming an in-law to Nagi.

Isumi. Ultimate moeness that soothes and tames the wildest of beasts from men to mice. Currently, asking for a two-way ticket destination to Rio de Janeiro on subway.

[garra113]

Ehhh FruitFly, Do you think you can make a list of the refrences of episode 7 ?

Im 99% certain it was a reference to griffon the name of a mech from the Patlabor TV series. The head gave it away pretty easy cracked me up lol.

Overall was a pretty cute episode with isumi epitome of moe, but I think shes going to be soundly upstaged in that aspect by trap hyate next episode.

[garra113]

Kimichi.. Too bad Isumi isn't gonna see Hayate in the next episode =X

[Mecha_Trueno]

so when are they gonna start producing maria figurines...
