A lovely song sung by our hungry hamster,Ayumu! I didn’t  like her songs from the first season,but the second season ones are awsome. Since the song “Koi Machi” sounds a little gloomy for me,I decided to translate Kimi Fan,a cute message of love from Ayumu to her beloved Hayate.~

Kimi Fan

Your Fan

Today was an unsurprising day,just like yesterday,but
I can feel so nervous,it’s mysterious
Lately,your behaivor changed- you always run away,why?
Your brilliant existence gives me so much courage
Yes,something like that really exists
And I will tell you-So,today,I will be smiling,too!

Know what?
You’re surely a Super Star that was being showed
And makes my heart beat like a gale
The expansion I couldn’t read just a while ago winds me up now
Know what?
When you smile,everywhere,everything
Becomes a sweet wind like vanilla
That’s why I love you
Anyway,I love you

At least…Is it ok to be selfish when it comes to love?
It’s a murmuring endless story
Maybe my worried face is sly ; I pressed the (wrong) switch
I wonder,if I use just my dreamy feelings to look for an “I love you”, wonderfully said by you,
Will I find it? I will give my best,
And I don’t mind if it doesn’t reach you!~

Know what?
Your eyes are a Universe- So wide!
I wanna have it only to myself
But just that it’s not enough- I wanna know everything about you
Know something?
When you are in a hurry, I get moody
But that happens to every girl
So don’t leave me; Because,the next step…
Well,I already fell in love with you

Know what?
You’re surely a Super Star that was being showed
And makes my heart beat like a gale
The expansion I couldn’t read just a while ago winds me up now
Know what?
When you smile,everywhere,everything
Becomes a sweet wind like vanilla
That’s why I love you
Anyway,I love you

I love you,I love everything on you

キミファン

作詞：くまのきよみ／作曲：田中公平／編曲：村瀬恭久／
歌：西沢歩（高橋美佳子）

昨日と似たような　ありふれた今日でも
ワクワクできる不思議
君の真似して駆け出した　最近どうしてる？
きらめくその存在に　いっぱい勇気もらってるんだよ
そういうことってアリ　絶対アリだよ
伝えよう　わたしは今日も笑顔です！

あのね
君はきっと　SUPER STAR　見せつけられたの
鼓動は疾風のごとく　先が読めない展開　巻き込まれる
あのね
君が笑うとね　そこらじゅうぜんぶ　バニラみたい甘い風になる
だから好きなの　とにかく君が好きだから

せめて恋くらいは　わがままでいいかな？
つぶやきのエンドレス
困った顔はずるいかも　スイッチ入っちゃう
夢見る気持ちだけで　探してみれば　見つかるかな
こういう「好き」ってイイ　結構イイかも
がんばろっ　いまは届かなくって構わない！

あのね
君の瞳（め）は　UNIVERSE　なんて広いんだろう
ひとりじめしたいけれど　それだけじゃダメ　すべてを知ってみたい
あのね
君が焦るたび　意地悪になる　オンナノコならばみんなそうだよ
ほっとけなくて　次はもう好きになってる

あのね
君はきっとSUPER STAR　見せつけられたの
鼓動は疾風のごとく　先が読めない展開　巻き込まれる
あのね
君が笑うとね　そこらじゅうぜんぶ　バニラみたい甘い風になる
だから好きだよ　とにかく君が好きだから

君が好きだよ　君のぜんぶが好きだから

*sigh* When is Hayate going to make a choice?

Its been 251 chapters and they finally point out that Nagi is tsundere…

Cuz hamsters don’t eat shelled walnuts.

You don’t want to be gripped by a grip monster… Then again, you might.

Fact: Its impossible to push Maria into a pool, unless you’re a cockroach.

Quote from Hayate no Gotku!! OVA

This is entertaining and all, but when is Hayate finally going to make his choice? To be honest, it’d be a nice twist if he chose to save A-tan.

Besides, wasn’t there something about Nagi knowing enough economics to be able to survive without that much money? Either that or I’m really mistaken and making things up here, lol.

I suppose Hayate will have to save both A-tan and Nagi like main protagonists always do, cuz resolving pinches is a man’s job after all.

Finally watched Kampfer 9 (Oh GOD Shizuku in bikini and evil sakura) and working on X’mas art trade, whilst wondering how is one going to watch Kohaky Uta Gassen (I can’t believe they invited Nana Mizuki! XDDD) in Singapore.

I love all of Hayate no gokoto theme songs. The first time I saw it on TV I got hooked to it right away. It brings me pleasant thoughts! And not only themes are worth listening to, the anime itself is worth watching… Its good for your heart cause the Filipino dubbed Hayate is totally hilarious! One anime that cracks me up big time. My laughter  even sounds strange to me when I laugh at their punch lines.. Its kind of corny but the dialogues tickles me like no other anime can..

Hayate Opening One

Come on give it a try. Watch:

Hayate Opening Two

Hayate Closing One

Some of Hayate ST:

No worries about trying to sit around grinding and leaving the PSP in standby mode. I went into an encounter after opening Black Mage for my destined to be Dark Knight and White Mage for my healer. I also happened to forget to change a couple peoples secondary skill to item to compensate for those two not having that skill anymore. I tend to secondary the Squire skill set so they just stand around and charge to grind JP, which is pretty standard I know.  So my Black Mage died and I used my last phoenix down and he died again so I was screwed. As I didn’t feel like starting another one i quit.  Until I get a memory stick and can save anyway.

Instead I fired up Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters. Got the game with my original PSP bundle… box thing. Tried it for about five minutes and said meh. I’m not too into the whole Platformer/Third Person Shooter genre. If I want 3PS I have a couple of the Grand Theft Auto series. but I stuck it out through the first level and was pleasantly surprised. It’s actually a decent game.  It mixes a few different game genres in. And you get a few different armors to choose bits and pieces from which, to me, is a great thing that games should do more often. Not to mention that weapons level up the more you kill with them. Some of the mini games are excellent. I quite liked the little Gadgetbot lemmings knockoff. That hover-board race thing is irritating me at the moment. At least on the medical planet… I beat the first one but 2 is kicking me around. Maybe I should go back to the first set and clear those. >.<;

Hataraki Man – Hiroko Matsukata

As the anime title implies, Matsukata is a real working man. She is often told that she is rather masculine, because she smokes a lot, puts all of her effort into her work, and when she puts her “switch on”, and really gets down to business, she seems quite manly, this is probably why she always eats natto rolls (isn’t natto filled with like….false estrogen? Idk I heard that somewhere).

She’s got it tough, I would have succumbed to a heart attack if I worked like she did. She does it all, and she’s fucking nasty at what she does. Raise a glass, Matsukata kicks ass.

Hayate no Gotoku! – Maria

Wow, two Rie Tanaka voiced characters in a row. Honestly, these two characters just show how awesome Rie Tanaka is at voicing, but I’m here to talk about Maria, who is obviously the best character from Hayate no Gotoku. That’s right, not Hinagiku. She’s third, Jenny is second. To be truthful, there isn’t a single character in Hayate that I don’t think is absolutely awesome. Frankly, I’m still bitter that she didn’t win the voting, but whatever, she wins in my own mind, and here comes a tremendous, in depth character analysis, right in your eye:

• Age – 17,18
• Height – 158 cm
• Weight – 42 kg
• Blood Type – O
• Birthday – December 24th

Yeah, I copied that directly from Wikipedia, which I know I shouldn’t do  (cuz wiki sucks), but I trust it in this case. So why does Maria kick ass.

Maria is awesome at everything she does, she cleans, cooks, is a literal genius….I mean, she’s pretty much perfect. But it’s her inadeuacies that make her even better. For example, she sucks at disguises. For example, the picture above was a disguise to fool Hayate (which actually worked somehow). You know what, I’m just going to link to that page where I explained a whole lot of awesomeness regaurding Maria: Here.

There. Now with that link, I was able to put up more pictures of Maria that I wanted to put up, without actually putting them up (for this post these posts, I limit one picture per character). Maria should turn into an actual person, so I could marry her (why was she not first here? Bad decision on my part).

He Is My Master – Mitsuki Sawatari

Here’s a cute little girl in a maid outfit, right? Wrong, Mitsuki always acts innocent and happy, but really she’s a scheming plotting person. She uses her sister for her own profit and besides that, has probably not one care in life, which is awesome, and the reason why she takes this spot over Pochi, the awesome alligator (which is her pet). He is my Master is actually a pretty good show.

Higashi no Eden – Akira Takizawa

Nothing phases this guy. He never gets nervous or anything, and takes everything in stride. Not only that, but his plans are pretty sick. I mean, here’s a guy who wiped his own memory as part of his plans. He’s also not afraid to whip out his Johnny in front of American Police officers. “Thank God it was cold out.” He said.

High School Girls – Uhhhhhnderwear Girl?

Speaking of memory wipes, I must have had one done on me after watching High School Girls, because even after looking up Bio’s for the characters, I don’t remember a God damn thing about them. I watched this show around the same time as Tsuyokiss, and I remember that show. What the hell? But anyway, I’ll pick the girl in the picture who’s sitting on the the girl, because he underwear is kinda cool, and this was one of the only pictures that I could find on google that wasn’t boring. That’s it.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni – Rena Ryuugu

Well, this was the hardest descision yet. I went back and forth between Mion, Shion, and Rena, and even debated Keiichi for a while. But I think in the end I chose the best and I’ll tell you why.

First of all, Rena is weird. She digs through trash fro treasures, loves cute things (even if they aren’t really that cute) and generally is just an odd ball. But when she goes berserk, it’s just something awesome.

When I think of Higurashi, I think of two things, Rena’s axe thing, Rena’s crazy eyes, and this picture. God this show was good. But anyway, the fact that Rena goes from a girl who’s always happy and loves cute things to a psychotic killer is just awesome. IT AWESOME! Yandere superior!

Honey and Clover – Shinobu Morita

Morita gave some comedy and coolness to what I thought was an otherwise dull and boring anime. Not only is he a bit on the odd side, but his treatment of Hagu coupled with his already strange ways was something that I, at least, found amusing. Not only that, but sometimes he goes missing for days on end, and then comes back with money. I can’t remember what is job was, or if they even mentioned it, but I would sure like to know.

Looking, back, I probably wouldn’t hate H&C as much as I do now if i were yo watch it again, but there’s no way that will ever happen. I have removed it from my top 5 most hated shows (there’s no way it was worse than K-ON). It would probably be closer to 13 or something if I were to actually rate all of my shows and actually put them in order (there’s no way I’m ever doing that…in fact, after this series of character posts, I’m taking a hiatus….maybe….probably not).

Hyakko – Suzume Saotome

Let me just get this out of the way and say that the character designs ruled for this anime. I especially loved the color schemes. Black, orange, and tan? Perfect. I also enjoyed the show, despite not liking it at first. As far as characters go, Suzume is the obvious choice for best.

• She can eat forever.
• She’s one of those awesome quiet types, I love those characters.
• She follows Torako everywhere, like a slave.

Basically, Suzume is mysterious and unpredictable. I love it.

Hayate has to make a very important decision this chapter.

Last time, after Isumi’s ‘Seven Divine Generations’ technique was defeated by Machina, she had no choice but to retreat, and teleported everyone away using her Secret Technique. The group ended up somewhere in the ocean, and after getting out, Isumi explained that the Honored Spirit and Athena were merging, and the only way to seperate them and save Athena was to either give the King’s Jewel to them or destroy it. Sakuya suggested giving the King’s Jewel and then taking it back, but Isumi said that it would be far too great a risk, as the world could be destroyed, and then proceeds to get ready to destroy the King’s Jewel instead.

On another note, next week’s chapter would mark 5 years of serialization, and the cover and several pages would be done in colour to commemerate the occation.

Isumi is insistent on annihlating the King's Jewel

The chapter starts out where the last one left off. Isumi pulled out one of her talismans, requesting permission to destroy the King’s Jewel from Hayate. Hayate immediately rejects the idea, telling her that even if she was the one asking to do it, he couldn’t let her. Isumi pauses for a moment, and despite Hayate’s disapproval, and takes out more talismans and prepares to destroy the stone anyway, telling Hayate that while she doesn’t intend to hurt him, she will destroy the King’s Jewel, by force if necessary. Sakuya pulls Isumi’s Kimono, telling Isumi to wait for a moment. Sakuya asks why Isumi was in a hurry to destroy the jewel, and Sakuya further explains that while it could be a jewel/stone that has the potential to destroy the world, it could also be a precious memento to Hayate. Sakuya tells Isumi that she can’t just destroy the stone, and that Isumi should ask Hayate about the circumstances first. Hayate explains that it wasn’t a memento, but if someone was to obtain the stone or destroy it, Sanzenin Nagi would lose her inheritance. Sakuya and Isumi were completely surprised by this, and Hayate further went on to explain the details. Sakuya asks if it was possible that they could trick Athena by destroying a fake King’s Jewel in front of her, but Isumi says thatit was impossible that Athena could mistake the fake one for the real deal. Sakuya sighs, and takes out her handphone. Hayate asks who Sakuya was calling, and Sakuya replied that she was calling Nagi’s Mikado Sanzenin himself. As Sakuya calls Mikado, she says that she wanted to ask him about the King’s Jewel, and Mikado immediately told Sakuya to hand the phone over to Hayate.

Cleverly disguised attempt to avoid drawing more frames by the author

Sakuya passes the phone to Hayate, who starts talking to Mikado on the other end. Mikado starts by telling Hayate that it seemed like Hayate understood the rules, and Hayate asked what he was talking about. Mikado explains that the whole thing was a test over whether or not Hayate could be a Butler of the Sanzenin Family, and that it was a test to see whether or not Hayate was willing to sacrifice someone to protect his master(that being Nagi). Nagi’s grandfather tells Hayate that there won’t be any changes to the conditions of the deal with the King’s Jewel, and if Hayate were to lose it or get it destroyed, Nagi will instantly lose her inheritance, and along with her right to become Mikado’s successor. Nagi’s grandfather, Mikado, probably in an attempt to make Hayate feel worse, thoroughly describes the process, saying that Nagi would lose her mansion, the trillions of Yen she would be getting, the ability to use the private jet planes or the Sanzenin villas, and finishes it off with the fact that no matter how hard she works, Nagi would never be able to get that kind of fortune again if she loses it all. While it seemed like Nagi would only lose the luxurious life she was having, Mikado reminds Hayate that Nagi has been completely spoiled by money, and that she had been protected by it ever since she was born, and asks whether or not Hayate thinks Nagi could live without money.(The answer is obviously no) Mikado tells Hayate that if Hayate chooses Athena over Nagi, he would be fine with it, but if that happens, Hayate will lose his job and Nagi her inheritance, and adds that Hayate would most likely become Athena’s butler again. Mikado further explains, saying that Hayate’s 150 Million Yen would be transferred onto Athena if that happened. Hayate, after pausing for a moment, asks why Mikado was doing all this. And in one of the freakiest plot twists I have ever came across, it appears that the Santa Clause from Chapter 1 was actually Mikado Sanzenin… seriously, that was really random. Regardless, Mikado tells Hayate that even if he were to become Santa, he wouldn’t give Hayate any presents, which is what the Santa from Chapter 1 told Hayate as well. Mikado finishes off by telling Hayate to choose the conclusion he wants, but tells Hayate to not tell either Nagi or Maria about the situation, and hangs up.

It turns out that the Santa from Chapter 1 in Hayate's dreams were actually Mikado Sanzenin... somehow.

Sakuya comments that Mikado seemed serious, and Hayate told the two about what had happened over the phone. Isumi said that she would investigate the King’s Jewel and Athena, and then turns to Hayate. Isumi asks Hayate to make his decision within a day, and Hayate is confused by what Isumi is talking about. Isumi elaborates that there are 3 choices now. Hayate could first of all destroy the King’s Jewel, which would save Athena but bring misfortune upon Nagi. The Second possibility is that if the King’s Jewel is either taken away or Hayate gives it away, the Honored Spirit would have won and it would be unlikely that Athena can be saved, while Nagi still has her misfortune. Or lastly, Hayate can hold on to the stone. Isumi explains that the merger between the Honored Spirit and Athena was accelerating, and that in a few days, it would have progressed so much that it would be near-impossible to seperate them. Isumi explains that Athena would not die if they merged, nor would she be filled with evil. Isumi says that if the merger ever finishes, she will look into it with help from her family, to see if they can seal off her powers. However, Isumi explains that if the merger is ever complete, even with the sealing off of Athena’s powers, she can never go back to what she was like before the merger. Athena would become a completely different person, to the point no one would recognize her as her old self. Isumi tells Hayate that if he protects the stone, while Athena might be hurt, Nagi would be protected. Isumi then asks Hayate a very important question.

“Who is the most precious person to you?”

Now is the moment of truth... Theoratically next week is, actually.

Interesting chapter, although I do admit I don’t get some things. Firstly, I still think Sakuya’s idea of handing the stone over and then taking it back is plausible, at the very least compared to every other choice. This chapter was more or less focusing on who Hayate cares for more: Nagi or Athena. Admittedly, after all I’ve seen, I think the realistic choice would frankly be Athena. But then again, since Nagi is the main heroine, it makes you doubtful. Though, to be honest, I don’t see what so hard about the choice. It’s essentially Athena’s life vs Nagi’s money. On the more likely scale, Hayate would probably give a very vague response which involves saving both of them to Isumi in the next chapter. Also, whether it was meant as a joke or not, it seems that the Santa Clause from Chapter 1 was actually Nagi’s grandfather, although the Santa only appeared to Hayate in a dream. However, Mikado said the exact same words as him, and we even get a Santa flashback during that moment. If this wasn’t another gag and was meant to be taken seriously, we can probably assume Mikado had manipulated Hayate since the beginning, even before he was hired by Nagi. How Mikado went into Hayate’s dream, I dunno, probably another Secret Technique, but seeing as Hayate had a past relationship with Athena, it wouldn’t be surprising that Mikado, who also knew Athena quite well, would have attempted to manipulate Hayate over to his side after Hayate/Athena event 10 years ago.

Though, on the side of further speculation, although it seems that the King’s Jewel plot had been brought about quite fully, there are still many things which need to be expanded upon. For example, the other King’s Jewels, like the one Wataru has. While Isumi is completely terrified of letting the Honored Spirit get Hayate’s one as it could apparently end the world, I always had the idea all of the King’s Jewels were needed. After all, Mikado had stated on one occasion that he was after the funny power that everyone has been talking about. However, if you only need one King’s Jewel to obtain this power, Mikado would have done so a long time ago, seeing as he was the one who gave Hayate his in the first place. Henceforth, I don’t really see the danger in letting the Honored Spirit get one of them, throttle the brains out of it and save Athena, and then get the King’s Jewel back, as I don’t think one King’s Jewel would be enough for the Honored Spirit to do much. Then again, we’re still in the dark about this, so yeah. On another note, I’m interested in what would happen to Hayate’s brother, whether or not he will get an expanded role, which I feel is extremely likely in the future. So yeah, good chapter.
