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

[Potatochobit]

yeah i felt the same way GHD. All the kids will recognize the inazuma kick from the SRW games, but only the older fans would have realized the silhoutte and the training lines. Im guessing the other pun about strawberry cakes and spinning was from school rumble, i may be wrong though?

what did the kendama and carrot anime have to do with Dorothy from MAR? I didnt get why she shouted that out other than being the voice actress.

[FTV]

Anyone else find it interesting that Hayate is supposed to not have feelings for Nagi but the moment a girl confesses her love for him... he thinks of Nagi (with a warm fuzzy background no less) and turns her down?

I personaly find the anime hilarious and hope it keeps up with the humor as well as with the character development.

hah... 52 episodes.

I think:

Spoiler for Plot:

That the storylines not only going to be repaying the 150 mil debt... wut adventure do u think its gonna be?

you can watch episode 12 here http://www.veoh.com/videos/v650825Tp...7305535&rank=1

Coach appearing with Wakamoto's voice made my day --- with Gunbuster references flying around the episode, that one just had to happen. Hayate's 2D complex mention was another great moment.

Nishizawa is <3

I must admit that not much time ago I was a bit hesitant about this anime. Excepting episode 1 and 5, I did find it pretty boring.
But I have to say that since episode 8 I've been enjoying it pretty much, and the last two episodes have been the so called peak of the iceberg, as far my liking is concerned

The show is no more focused on Hayate & Nagi (+ glimpses of Maria) solely, but it's now using all the other interesting characters it have. That was something I was looking forward to, and I am really pleased at now. The news this is going to be 52 episodes long makes me quite happy since HnG has become my brilliant comedy fix of the week.

As for episode 12, yay for Nishizawa, she's just so cute



+1 of Maria

Well.... Can someone list all the references from episode 1-12 so far right now xD?

[Fruitfly]

Episode 12 has to be my favorite episode so far. It made me realise that I forgotten that Ayumu was initially my favorite girl (I swear check the manga thread )

I was going to compile a list like the lucky star one but I never got past episode 2 because I never had the time really. But temporary, go here for a small list. It's not everything and I did add like 15 of them but nothing after ep7.

I think this could well be another one of those anime comedies that takes a few episodes to "get" the style, before you can really enjoy it. I'd fathom to guess that a few of the people that dropped it earlier on wouldn't do themselves a huge disservice by trying a few more episodes. Hell, I'd even say that there's no reason why fans of School Rumble or Lucky Star should avoid Hayate no Gotoku, since it manages to combine the best of both those series, IMO.

Ep 12

Another brilliant episode. Serious laughs from Hayate reducing his classmates (and teacher) to tears to his unwitting backhand of Maria's lack of ambitions. Really, just wall-to-wall laughs in this ep... which is starting to become a regular thing in this series. I'm genuinely impressed at how consistently funny HnG is managing to keep itself. It also helps that they've managed to make a cast completely full of fun and enjoyable characters, including Nishizawa, although I'd say she's probably the weakest (if cutest, or, at least second to Izumi) of the plethora of girls that like Hayate. I can't help but respect Hayate more and more with every passing episode.

Fantastic episode. "I'm... only interested in 2-D girls." Brilliant!

[UPR]

i hope they don't take out one of my fovarite parts from the manga between Hayate and Maria

[musashiken]

i hope they don't take out the good parts from the manga between Hayate and Hinagiku.

I'm still stuck between Maria and Hinagiku in the manga, but in the anime Maria wins.
Because: 1. Maria is voiced by Tanaka Rie. 2. Tanaka Rie did a cosplay of Maria. 3. Tanaka Rie is one of the prettiest seiyuu I know that can cosplay well.

[holyman282]

doesn't Tanaka Rie voice nagi in hayate?

[KiNA]

^ That Rie Kugiyama.. the voice of Shana ... Rie Tanaka voiced Maria.. The main reason I'm here actually



I LOLLED.. People vectored this?!!!

Erm... Tanaka Rie = Hot Anime Girl. The loliest sounding character I remember her voicing is Chii from Chobits. Usually she voices the hot ones like Lacus of Gundam Seed, Mariel of Hanaukyo Maids (... oh now I get it... Maria).

As for Nagi... she's voiced by Kugimiya Rie. So yes both their names are Rie, don't mix them up. Kugimiya is the ultimate voice for lolis. Shana from Shana, Louise from Zero no Tsukaima, Koboshi from Pitaten.. etc. yeah the ultimate loli voice.

I'm glad I didn't drop this show at eps 10, which IMO really is a POS episode.

As for couplings, Maria and Hayate seems to be the most reasonable right now. But for some reason I have a soft spot for Hinagiku and Hayate; maybe because I think Hinagiku is somewhat what Maria wants Nagi to grow up as. I mean, apart from the adults (maids, butlers, and otherwise), Hinagiku seems to be the most competent character in the story, on par IMO with Hayate.

As the story stretches on you'll find that Hinagiku is far, far more competent than even (most) of the adults, and is strangely reminiscent of Maria in her younger (but not too long ago ) days.

And you're not alone in the Hinagiku pairing, she won the popularity survey by a LARGE amount (though it was taken _right_ after a very Hina-centric story arc in the comic).

i hope they have a valentines day moment

You can also send it to me by email the txt if you like It is garra113@yahoo.com

I would certainly think this show is popular enough to earn its own sub-forum, but that's just my take on it

[UPR]

there are a couple of shows that deserve there own sub-forum like this one and Seto no Hanayome and HSD Kenichi

[Pendevous]

It's popular yeah. I want a sub forum for this when the series is done. Great and funny anime imo.
