Mask the Money is my favorite hero… Supposedly Eerie Look Second Impression: One thing I like about Hayate no Gotoku! is that its animation gives a feel to the story. The animation “feels” a little bit different from the other shows, so I’ll just go on ahead to watch the show. I’ll just see if I have some feel to drop this show. Goooooo~oooooore! Well, anyway, how they censor the blood, and all that is told to be different from censoring Hayate’s body that’s been hit with spears? Well, OK, sure, putting it seriously, it really isn’t funny at all but when I think about the reaction of Hayate, it relieves me from this OCD-like feeling. i lab j00 - Pewk. Also, this Tama character (the tiger) really gives me a weird feeling ever since the first time I saw this episode. It’s probably because of the fact that he can talk (and only Hayate supposedly knows). I know that it’s for lol-reasons but I can’t seem to drop the fact that it’s bothering me a lot negatively. Armed Nurse Robot - Missile Pew Pew, No-no … At least the nurse robot gives me a nice feel to it with the human-like mind. Fan Service? I lol'd hard. Overall, it’s a ★ nice episode and it’d be better if you could watch it yourself!

Hayate enjoys the world in a cleaning company at the age of 8 with a few lies about, of course, his age. Amazingly, it’s believable… Gave me the creeps... Second Impression: I was wondering a lot how this show will go especially after the small misunderstanding that seems to be starting to go BIG. Well, Hayate tried to “take away” Nagi but it seems like Nagi thinks that he is confessing to her his love while Hayate was actually trying to kidnap Nagi. Goosebumps... Eek. But forget about that, we have a fan service… err, fan service? So, Hayate wakes up with the dream of being in heaven (after that dying event). While he’s actually in the mansion of Nagi, he goes around the mansion and take a bath, thinking that he’s still in heaven. Amazingly, Maria is also there, taking a hot bath with the tough bodied-Hayate… and there, my imagination went mad. (I wonder what my mad imagination was all about when it’s only Hayate and Maria alone… in the bath.) This girl appears out of nowhere. She should... Blargh it all! This girl suddenly appears and tries to end the episode. Now, now, I’m really having lots of thoughts in the potential of this ‘big’ anime that’s really been exciting me up! Ooooooooooooooo~ The first half really had a nice buildup for the misunderstanding of the confession-kidnapping incident, but what makes the episode better is the second half. It looks like more misunderstandings are really great. Let’s see… The masked Nagi, the butler Hayate, and the… err, fan service-maid Maria, all because of a picture diary—manga. "Don't they look cute together?" And I was like, eww? There’s really nothing much to say about this episode except for the fact, as mentioned, how this episode goes to a really different level just because of one small misunderstanding.

I should put some thought on what to put here. The story sure has gotten deep… Go Nagi! Second Impression: It really is a hilarious anime, and probably goes more than the word unbelievable. Well, regardless of that, it seemed like the introduction (robot “fight”) really need some nice build up. Well, it’s either I have some bad sense of humor or it’s just that it isn’t my first impression anymore that I’ve gotten really bored of it. If only I could disable the subs and effin' remove that thing. OP: "Hayate no Gotoku! (ハヤテのごとく���)" by KOTOKO — Can’t really say it’s “typical” but I could somehow say that it depicts something greatly. And it seems like, after hearing the OP over and over again, I’ve gotten bored of how the OP starts. I blame my late anime review... And this is when someone falls in love... supposedly Hayate, NOOOO! To begin with, Hayate is a poor boy, who was “abandoned” (in some way) by his parents with a huge debt, but still hopeful and tries to keep on doing what he could for living. I really do think that Hayate is a very unlucky guy to have parents like that. Still, that’s not just it, he also seems to have some friends that don’t care about poor people or even show a hint of sympathy (except for the girl who was trying to reach her hand out to talk to Hayate; it has interested me a lot and hope that this girl will appear in the later episodes). OMGNOWAI!! As it turns out, he meets up with the said “gentlemen” that’d pick up Hayate as the exchange for the huge debt. Hayate jumps to the window to escape from the evil gentlemen, and there, he goes to the park and meets up with Nagi Sanzenin, a kid [in question (?)] from a rich family. This is destiny… sadly. we need moar angelz. While the story goes mad with Hayate having an evil angel and a devil, who thinks that kidnapping is going too far, I must be dreaming. Well, at least that’s not just it—when Hayate asks Nagi to go out with him, the story really got deep. Risk his life? OK… Generally, I could say that the story was good but there was nothing particular that’s worth mentioning except the Santa Clause incident, and some (lulz) yaoi. Santa Clause angry!! ED: "Proof" by MELL — A really nice song but this time, I can assure you, this has become typical, currently. When Hayate was aired, I don’t know if this is still considered typical but this song really reminds me of the Shakugan no Shana OVA. Kawaii! So, why the second impression? Well, actually, I’ve already seen Hayate, half of the first season and “dropped” it because I was somewhat busy. Few days ago, I was told by my friend to see a certain episode to compare “it” with “her” and there, I somehow got engaged with Hayate again just by seeing a single episode in the second season. But why the sadly about the “destiny” part? Apparently, I never liked Hayate x Nagi. It’s not that about their appearance (or how they’re empty-heads or, probably, nuts, too). I just get the feeling that’s been irking me a lot in the later episodes. "Eww." Not really.

Day 242/365 From the anime Hayate the Combat Butler, Maria is Nagi's maid and surrogate older sister/mother. She is very intelligent and a tad devious at times. She takes her job seriously and can keep Nagi company while playing games. Why I like her: She is adorable and awesome!
