HoaRy said: Hayate is advancing towards harem ending. He scored at Hinagiku, Ayumu, Maria AND Nagi in the same episode. Nice episode! And finally the ED single release is close.. 10th June yeah, the ending is probably the best one theyve done (well except for Kinome Kaze (last of the first) I don't think they'll have a definate answer for which girl he will go for... will keep stringing it along for a while |
 Good episode, nice going, Hayate. Can't wait for the ED either. The songs of the previous season were great. Especially Shichitenhakki Shijou Shugi. |

| The scene with Tama instakilled me! Finally another funny ep! HoaRy said: True, harem on full throttle. I can't wait for the single!!Hayate is advancing towards harem ending. He scored at Hinagiku, Ayumu, Maria AND Nagi in the same episode. Nice episode! And finally the ED single release is close.. 10th June PS.: I am Murphy! |
| Good episode. great setup for what is to come. I hope we get Hina's |
 |
| Ok episode. Too slow with the search for the present, but once Hayate got home it was good and funny. Have we seen this A-tan or am I remembering a similar character from another show? If not, I'm sure we'll be seeing this mystery girl in future episodes. |
| Great episode =D yes for the ed release =D and bout A-tan i believe this is the first time for her to appear in the anime and yes we will learn more about her in later episodes Also YAY for the Kvakond said: PS.: I am Murphy! XD i rewatched that part bout 10 times XD Images to come =D |
| yeah cant wait for the awesome op>< hayate really thinks about everyone^^ didnt know that maria had such a past, made a a bit sad. |
     |
| alrites images enjoy =D ouch that must hurt XD loved this part XD Athena and Hayate and etc/ other stuff XD |
| This episode was great stuff. First time I heard of A-tan and I'm curious about her... *starts looking for spoilers* Loved it when Hayate gave Nagi a present to distract her. ^^ Maria was one of the best character in this episode. I always love it when she acts or teases Hayate. :3 But next week is gonna be a Hina-feast <3 |
| I for one thoroughly enjoyed this episode. It was funny, entertaining, and actually worked the love themes in really well, not making them feel awkward. Loved Hayate getting smashed in the face with the bike. Good to know that he still has that invincible body that he's had since the beginning of the series. |
  |
| An entertaining episode, though not liking the Ayumu x Hayate thing that's going on at the moment. |
| Maria is the best. Nice episode overall. the randomness of Tama playing guitar cracked me up. |

| The contrast between Maria and the other girls is so striking, it's rediculous. Hina, Nagi, and Ayumu are just regular girls who Hayate interacts normally with. There are embarrassing moments because of crushes, cute little moments and memorable moments, but then you have Hayate and Maria. What they have is so much more and it's gorgeous what this anime is doing. In the dark, under the moon, their special relationship that goes farther than anyone else's is shared. They have a connection he has with no one else. She shares things with him like that devastating reveal she just gave him (Maria isn't her name? Oh man there's going to be a LOT to answer in the future.) and he's shared many things with her. She comes to him when she's scared, holding him close and he's always thinking of her, if only in the back of his mind. It's going to be Hayate and Maria in the end if the author of this story is doing what I think he's doing. Planning for the real relationship that withstands fire. |

| after two days finally out o_o ... hahas funny episode |
     |
| hayate really is a player isn't he? the part about maria was a little sad, but finding out where that doll's story was just freaking hilarious! |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| now we know why maria doesn't have a last name. can't wait till maria's birthday comes and see what will happen. |
 |
| Everybody Poe Poe! I want to know more about A-tan... |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| HAYATE ROCKS! That assassin from hell made me ROFL |
 |
| "As Japanese, getting down on your knees is your only choice." LOL nice subs. Love the way this new season is progressing, with Hinagiku, Maria, Nishizawa. |
| Anyone with over 10 shows ranked at 10/10 clearly needs to re-evaluate their idea of a 'masterpiece'. |
| I was gonna give this 4/5 but then A-tan showed up...instant 5/5 If people wanna know who A-tan is read "The End of the World" arc from the manga, its probably my favourite manga arc to date, Athena is a fantastic character!!!! Also the MariaxHayate was awesome as well. A bit of the mystery about Maria also seems to be related with A-tan as well but thats getting a bit into the spoiler side |
Hayate is advancing towards harem ending. He scored at Hinagiku, Ayumu, Maria AND Nagi in the same episode. Nice episode! When I read that before I saw the episode, it actually kinda scared me, just 'cause I don't like the sound of it, but I like the way it did play out. Is it just me.. or is the only main character we don't know the birthday of Nagi now? I might've missed where it was stated somewhere, but I don't remember it. We even know three of the minor characters' days. (Consider Ayumu a minor) So the only gift we don't know is actually Hina's, who is the one he went out to get lol the other three better be grateful to her. Yay! One of the comments Hayate made to Ayumu makes me wonder if there's going to be a White Day episode to follow up the Valentines. Oh, and I got even more of the sense of the trio/quartet nakama this episode. |
 "You're such an idiot." ~Celty (Durarara) "How many seconds until the boy confesses his love to the girl?" ~Durarara Should it be sad now that twice in a season I've been glad that subs scrolls by to quickly for me to process? |
| Awesome episode. Plushy Hayate gave to Maria being such a character, hah. Also Tama performing in the room was so hilarious! Also lots of Ayumu... Great! |
 |
| Woah, this post turned out to be much longer than I intended. A truly awesome episode. I've nothing to add concerning the actual episode, but I'm surprised that no one has pointed this one out yet:  If I'm not horribly mistaken, 少女 refers to A-tan here and she's voiced by Kawasumi Ayako. A great addition to the already fantastic cast in my opinion. (On a side note: does anyone else think that she and Itou Shizuka (Hinagiku's VA) sound alike? Their voices, that is.) Also, here's your usual timeline update. I wonder how many episodes they'll use for the following 8 chapters. It might be wiser to use three and give more screen time to certain scenes or add some original content instead of trying to squeeze all the content into two. Plus, episode 13 would mark the end of the first cours. It might make more sense to change the story arc (and potentially the OP/ED as well) only after that. Bastion said: Is it just me.. or is the only main character we don't know the birthday of Nagi now? I might've missed where it was stated somewhere, but I don't remember it. We even know three of the minor characters' days. (Consider Ayumu a minor) Nagi's birthday is December 3rd. It's written on the character information pages on the 1st manga volume and it has been stated at least on the first episode of the second season. I wouldn't say that Ayumu is a minor character when the cast is this numerous. If I had to name 5 main characters for this show, my picks would be Hayate, Hinagiku, Maria, Nagi and Ayumu. For something else than just my opinion: take a look at the current season 2 opening and ending (cast list). They are the 5 characters who stand apart from the rest. Bastion said: Well, that's a given, isn't it? :) I'll be bold and take a guess when it's going to happen. Don't look unless you're really curious!Yay! One of the comments Hayate made to Ayumu makes me wonder if there's going to be a White Day episode to follow up the Valentines. Spoiler for episode number, speculative. |
Spawwvy said: On a side note: does anyone else think that she and Itou Shizuka (Hinagiku's VA) sound alike? Their voices, that is. The first time I watched it, I thought in the flashback the voice reminded me of Maria. That would have made an interesting story in itself, also the shadowed figure in the preview which I thought was supposed to her made me think of Izumi. That would have created a tangled web lol Spawwvy said: Nagi's birthday is December 3rd. It's written on the character information pages on the 1st manga volume and it has been stated at least on the first episode of the second season. Ah, thought I'd missed it somewhere. It just seemed strange that there was all this talk of birthdays and Nagi's wasn't mentioned. Spawwvy said: I wouldn't say that Ayumu is a minor character when the cast is this numerous.

For something else than just my opinion: take a look at the current season 2 opening and ending (cast list). They are the 5 characters who stand apart from the rest. I only consider he minor because she doesn't show up as often. Nagi's in nearly every episode. From your list, Hinagiku is kinda on the borderline (not showing up often, but building up enough character to be considered) and Ayumu's below her. Of course Ayumu stands apart, she's one of the women interested in Hayate's affection :p Spawwvy said: [White Day]'s a given, isn't it? :) I'd say not really, only because, to my memory, it's taken this long for them to have one. |

| I would actually replace Ayumu with Wataru since he seems to have a mini harem revolving around him. |

Of course Ayumu stands apart, she's one of the women interested in Hayate's affection :p Ah, my bad. I didn't mention that my views have been influenced by reading the manga, but even if I were to stay in the context of the anime adaptation, the following applies: By standing apart I meant that those five are shown to us first and each of them gets a longer presentation during the opening. When credits roll during the ending, only those five are present on the first cast list. As for why I didn't include Wataru: I see him as some sort of a major side character, who has his own harem consisting of other more or less major side characters. If he were ever going to get his very own story where he was the main character, Saki, Sakuya and Isumi would have to be consired as main characters as well. The point is that it's hard to draw a line between main and side characters in this show. In fact, why is there a need for such categorization after all? Bastion said: Spawwvy said: [White Day]'s a given, isn't it? :) I'd say not really, only because, to my memory, it's taken this long for them to have one. I said that White Day is a given because: - The story in this season has been progressing slowly but steadily in chronological order. It isn't even March yet as of the latest episode - Valentine's Day wasn't just an insignificant single-episode side story. It has been referred to a few times. It wouldn't make sense to leave White Day out. Spoiler just in case. Someone else might have not put a spoiler here. |

Spawwvy said: By standing apart I meant that those five are shown to us first and each of them gets a longer presentation during the opening. When credits roll during the ending, only those five are present on the first cast list. And again I say, that's most likely because she's in contention for Hayate's affection, which is something the opening (and the series so far) has focused on. Just because a character's on the opening roll of characters doesn't make them main automatically. noteDhero said: I would actually replace Ayumu with Wataru since he seems to have a mini harem revolving around him. Yes, Wataru and his harem would make for an amusing side story. Not sure if there's enough to name his main though. Spawwvy said: The point is that it's hard to draw a line between main and side characters in this show. That's exactly why I use the on-screen time as a determinate, there's really so little difference that there's really no other way to call it. And being a main character or not is just another one of those groupings this world throws people into.

It isn't even March yet as of the latest episode - Valentine's Day wasn't just an insignificant single-episode side story. It has been referred to a few times. It wouldn't make sense to leave White Day out. Again, for this type of anime, it's only suprising because they've gone 3? 4? years without having either until now. Even as a backdrop it's a useful event. I know there's a lot of the story that I'm missing because I haven't read the manga, problem is finding. |

| ah, what a great episode! despite being a guy with deadbeat parents and a lifetime worth of debt, i still think he's the luckiest guy on earth. ;-) and that last bit with the assassin bunny from hell was laugh out loud hilarious. |

Yup can't wait to see the A-tan/Athena episode. Been reading the manga but the scans aren't up to date with the releases. so hopefully we learn about her more in the anime. |
| Next week Hayate crossdressing as a maid, haha. A-tan = Athena, as far as I know. Maria looked really girl-ish at the end of the episode, cute. Finally a bit of her background as well. Okay episode. And rofl at Tama... |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Great love development and the ending knowing about Maria's origins was quite touching! Though in the first season 24th December already passed and before that she was already 17th shouldn't she be 18th already than? Or am I wrong? Either way great episode! |
