haha another great ep.
Now I understand why episode one started as it did (which was something I didn't enjoy at the time. I guess I take that back ^_^). Again a lot of anime references, DBZ, Sailor Moon,Saint Seiya (<3 )... and was that a metal gear reference at the end? can't tell for sure since I didn't play it lol.

oh, one more thing!


^ I hate rich people xD (although those consoles are old.......... =P)

Nagi has won me over. It took a while for me to get use to her character design though. She was really cute in this episode. As for the episode itself, I thought it was great. It skipped around the manga a little bit but that okay with me now since I kinda backed off the whole sticking close to the manga thing. The whole ***y and ***za thing was great, I laughed so hard. I am looking forward to the next episode, especially since they skipped ahead to volume 4 and thats where Hinagiku is introduced. And volue 4 is one of the better volumes in the series.

Hinagiku ftw~

This episode was pretty hilarious. What I like about this series is the blanking out of famous references. I almost bust a gut about that Freeza reference from DBZ, since I was wondering what's she babbling about transformations. Also Maria is definitely my favourite character on the show! The part where he's explaining detailed way of how to stop the robot and she replies, "Hayate-kun! It'll stop if you break it!" ROFL! Oh yeah, yes Kayrhandros that was a Metal Gear Solid reference at the end. That was pretty hilarious too, "First Mission. This is Snake. No One's Responding" LMAO! It would of been awesome if they put in the Codec noise in there as well.

I thought this show sounded stupid at first, but it's hilarious :D I love the anime/culture references, and that it doesn't take itself seriously at all.

I missed the DBZ reference though =/

Ummm... I have this d/l, but have not started watching it...

so... if we know that we won't understand a lot of these old references that y'all are talking about... etc... will we still enjoy the series? Or should I just give it up because I never watched DBZ or the like??? O_o

In my opinion, it's still quite funny without them - very witty and sarcastic. The various references add another level of humor, but I think you'd still enjoy it if you don't get them.

Even though I didn't get the ***y and ***za reference (still have no idea what those are), I really am enjoying this series so far. There are enough other references out there that either me, Chelsea, or both of us have caught onto. Keep 'em coming...

***y = Sony and ****za = Freeza, i believe those are the references if memory serves me right.

The blood and 'violence' censorship is pretty weird but somehow I'm okay with it coz I think a 'blood gushing out' gag being played too many times would become annoying like the nose bleed in yamato nadeshiko.

A talking white tiger cat, a sensitive yet destructive nursing robot, what more does this anime need?

And what I really like about this anime is that it always breaks the fourth wall, which only certain anime managed to do it correctly.

Another funny episode.

I think the first thing that came to my mind as I started this anime yesterday was random lol I find the ***dam ****za and all that a bit dumb, same I thought in SHNY. Anyway this somehow is entertaining, not a big fan of harems, loli tsunderes and stuff, but I think this guys don't take themselves too seriously while doing it and it feels quite refreshing knowing people still take chances with comedies like this one.

Heh, loved the Frieza reference. :D I only just noticed Nagi's voice is also Kagura's in Gintama. :D That'll get interesting if I ever watch them back to back. :D So Tama can talk and understand human speech but still mauled err played with Hayate? What an asshole! :D And yup, stillmeta. :D I had already forgotten about that robot fight in episode one. :D

Crazy how Nagi has an anthropomorphic tiger that only talks to Hayate. And Nagi claims Hayate has multiple transformations referencing Frieza from Dragon Ball Z.

The Frieza reference is what makes Hayate the Combat Butler better than Excel Saga. Frieza has an ultimate transformation called Golden Frieza.
