Don't sit too close to your computer and make sure your room is well lit when you are reading Chika-Chin's Anime Mania! =^v^=Meet Hayate, one of the surviving species of really good men. He holds on firmly to the advice given by his own conjured Santa that people who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat. But then, Santa is his only form of assurance in a life of misfortune, not only was he born into a poor family, his parents are completely delusional. Delusional enough to run off with their son's hard-earned money, causing him to lose his job and on top of that, leaving him with a debt higher than Mount Everest as a Christmas present.Thanks to his well-trained body due to working so much, Hayate manages to escape from the clutches of the loan sharks sent to take him away. Could it be a sign that God was helping him for him to meet the daughter of a rich family in the park on such a dreary cold night? Well, the angel said go for it! As Hayate formulates a brilliant kidnapping plan, two young guys attempted to hit on her. When one of them got too pushy, Hayate unconsciously came to the young lady's aid and gave him a good smack.Though it was a good deed, it totally ruined his plans to use her for ransom. But she offered him a deal for saving her life, which he immediately took up with an improvised plan - just ask her to go out and stay with him. No, he does not mean it that way, he just wanted her to stick to him while he calls her guardian for the ransom. LOL But look at the little lady misunderstanding his intentions. Ah, pure feelings of the young! >:DHowever, it was not meant for Hayate to be lucky in any sort of way. Not only did he blew up his plans by identifying himself to the girl's guardian, his last remaining money fell into the drain. A young lady bumped into him as he lied on the ground feeling miserable for himself. She borrowed him her muffler, and her act of kindness burned a new fire in him. Just then, they heard the little mistress scream and saw her being piled into a car. Now that's how you kidnap someone! :pHayate, the upholder of justice, of course did his best to save the little miss (putting aside the fact that he tried to kidnap her as well). He successfully put a stop to the kidnappers albeit ending up in a pool of blood and gore so bad the producer decides to censor it. :p Who knew his second act of bravery lands him a job as a butler for the Sanzenin mansion. Well, he did ask for a job and the little miss has definitely taken a liking to him after his blunt 'confession'...If you're looking for something quirky and humorous, this is definitely the anime for you. I watched this with my boyfriend, and we couldn't stop laughing right from the start - the snobbish girl trying to intimidate a malicious robot more than ten times her size, Hayate's blunder with the narration, the narrator himself - it was pure comic! The part where they censored Hayate on the ground bleeding was so unexpected it was hilarious! And what the hell was with that confession...? ROFLHayate is really cool - that is before his 'accidents'. The characters all seem really interesting. I love the art. Ok, it's not really all that great but it somehow feels right to the anime, get it? I don't rave too much about the music though... Maybe I just need it to grow on me more. Well, it's typical happy anime music anyway, so some of you might like it. But this is definitely an interesting watch, even the narration will crack you up!
