I thought it was fair.I found some parts funny and the animation isn't bad - but isn't anything special either. I'm having a so-so experience with this. Anyway, how did everyone else find it?

It's an ok not really special but kind of fun anime.
i've heard alot of people think it looks alot like Hayate no gotoku-whatever. I haven't watched that myself though.

Still, it seems interesting. I'll try to keep watching.

I thought it was practically a carbon copy of Hayate at first. Yaranaika was quite laughable and the Doraemon reference (and actual voice of gian) was pretty awesome.

Haha yeah the beginning did bare a strong resemblance to Hayate no Gotoku, but anyways I thought this first episode was really funny and I really like the characters. I'm really looking forward to more of this series^^,

Oh yeah and for some reason as soon as Chiharu was introduced I knew it was a trap lolXD

Why the main character remembers me kenichi? Maybe cuz its the same personality and voice actor. lol
This is a mix of Hayate no Gotoku + Kaibutsu Oujo + Kenichi + Harem Anime's cliches and some other ramdom animes.

BTW, that coronel tai-something remembers me of Master Asia from the gundam series.

I didn't dislike it, but it didn't really hit it off with me either. At first I thought it was a rip off of Hayate (like everyone else), but then I thought if it was a rip off, it might have been better.

I don't understand why the main character has whiskers. One minute the sister is pulling instant ramen out of her crotch and spinach out of her brassiere, and the next, it's supposed to be some touching flashback. The cold master's random love of cute things was unexpected (albeit, interesting) and the guy disrobing at the beginning utterly shocked me (even though I did laugh).

Actually, I half-laughed, half-scoffed for most of it ... which is probably the intention, but while the randomness and comedy could be positive, the main character is grating on my nerves. That might be what it is, actually.

Anyway, I may drop it now, I may watch another ep. We'll see how I feel next week.

Interesting watch, especially with familiar seiyuu all over the main characters, like Goto Yuko, Seki Tomokazu, Tanaka Rie, and Itou Shizuoka. Definitely Hayate came in mind watching it the first time. It's like an alternative yet nothing too promising or superb quality.

Well, I think the "more echi HnG" description is quite good, because that's essentially what it is. They took the parody elements and backbone of the Hayate series and added some more "adult" feel to it. In my case, I like the more stylized and bright animation of Hayate no Gotoku over the more traditional approach this one takes. But it is a good distraction.

Summary: Nothing too exceptional about it, but it can be much worse. If There wasn't "another butler anime" full of parodies, it would score more in my book. But it's allright.

I honestly thought that was just awful. Maybe I've been spoiled by such goodness as Hayate, but I couldn't even finish the episode. Maybe if Hayate hadn't come out 8 months before this show, I might be able to enjoy it, but even that would be a stretch. I'm not a fan of the character designs (the main character especially looks like as retarded as naruto) and the jokes are so bad, they don't even get a chuckle. At least, I think they were jokes. If it's not a comedy, I have no idea what this anime has going for it. Clearly, I've watched too many decent comedies to enjoy something of this level.

This felt like Kenichi meets Hayate...

Nonetheless it was fun, and I enjoyed the episode. This alone has far surpassed my expectations. I'll keep watching to see how this develops. I hope it doesn't get boring like Hayate...

Oh no! I had a grammatical error that was then double quoted making it impossible to hide!

*The grammar nazi inside dies a little*

That should be "(the main character looks as retarded as naruto)"

In any case, it seems as though I am one of the few who flat out dislikes this series, so perhaps I'll have to see what everyone thinks when it's aired completely and see if it's worth giving another chance. For now though, it will stay firmly rooted to my dropped list.

Liked it a lot.

Fuck yeah @ voice actors. Anime Tenchou, Master Asia, Maria.

Oh yeah, Seki Tomokazu also voiced Domon Kasshu. That just makes the main character/butler scenes more amusing to me.

Seeing that everyone relates this anime with Hayate I hope that it chooses a different path so that as much people can enjoy this show. I haven't started seeing Hayate so I will not make that connection as of now. Great start of a series non the less and interesting characters. I laughed alot.

I was definitely risking this, since it didn't feel like my type, but still I tried it out. I think the similarities with Hayate are too many, I didn't laugh at what was supposed to be funny, and even the voice acting seemed weak. Not that they are bad, but they just didn't seem good in here. Seki, what happened to you? The only interest I had in this was Yume, but she's not worth my bandwidth. So yeah, dropped.

That's the truth, at the beginning of the ep. they even say that butler animes are a trend in this period. I read it as a clear reference to Hayate...

It's aiming in a totally different direction, so -even if that's only me-, this will surely not surpass HnG!.

Average like I expected, but not too bad. Some parts were quite funny, parody is always a bonus.
There are only 13 episodes, so I guess I'll finish it.

I was LOLing when I realized that Tomokazu Seki is the latest seiyuu for Suneo Honekawa and De Niro is voiced by the original Giant (Takeshi Gouda) from the Doraemon series. That is why De Niro's voice is intimidating to Ren =P
