Good. This anime was horrible and boring.

Hayate's character is quite similar to Naoya(a butler voiced by a female seiyuu who doesn't feign much interest in the main character) but he is many times better.
They should have made a yuri show instead of this.

In a side note, i really think that their "love" can be turned into "father/daughter" instead of "husband/wife" this is just my idea though, but since in her world age doesnt matter you just have to watch the anime thinking of that rule.
The final episode STRONGLY suggests that this is NOT what the feelings between the two were. A lot of people where put off because they liked the Father/Daughter vibes, and that was shot to hell.

Isn't this the Hayate no Gotoku rip-off?
...What?
That's... an interesting spin on it. I don't think that superficial similarities make a show a rip-off. I've seen both Lotte and Hayate, and no they really are not terribly similar, let alone one being a ripoff of the other.
I just watched the anime version of 'Toy' and read the manga of HnG regularly, and almost every character immediately connected with a HnG character.
It wasn't a rip-off of it, but the connections were very clear.
The male and female leads connections to Hayate and Nagi were like beacons to the rest of the cast.

Success or failure of an anime adaptation can actually determine whether the manga is allowed to continue.
That's the first time I've ever heard of this in my entire life. Where did you get that from? Did you read it somewhere or is it something that you are making up yourself?
If sales of the original work are marginal, the failure of an anime (i.e. doesn't move many DVDs, doesn't turn the manga into a big hit, doesn't create a merchandising machine) tells the publisher that there's little potential for growth. That's when they consider dropping the series in favor of something new.
That made absolutely no sense. If the sales of the original work are marginal, why would anybody make an anime adaptation out of it? Anime is extremely expensive to make, so they always make anime out of popular/highly successful mangas so when they invest in an animation project, there is an already existent fanbase to support the show. That's one of the reasons why anime-original projects are so rare (they are very risky, financially speaking compared with anime adaptations made of already established franchises.)

err they have to drink cum to keep themselves looking good. the simple fact that THIS even exists in the show automatically sets it a cut below everything else. that is, unless the synopsis is lying and this isn't actually a part of the show...?
The synopsis is lying and it isn't part of the show. -.-
It wasn't extremely heartwarming to me, and I had a bad impression through the first episode. I still liked it somewhat though. Poor mangaka. =(

i mean ppl think fan service is everything, but if they included a huge plot twist viewers would have loved it (for example: azuha apparently has "wearing underwear more than 7 days will turn her into great demon that can easily destroy the world) if they did something like this (i know its horrible) it would have been tiny bit better (my point was they could have put some kind of twist to it at the end

This is one of the few cases where I heard an original creator being so distraught about an anime adaptation on his/her work not selling so well.
Success or failure of an anime adaptation can actually determine whether the manga is allowed to continue.
If sales of the original work are marginal, the failure of an anime (i.e. doesn't move many DVDs, doesn't turn the manga into a big hit, doesn't create a merchandising machine) tells the publisher that there's little potential for growth.

In that regard, authors have every reason to be concerned about the popularity of adaptations.

Story = kiddy show
But the Background = not for kid
Target = lolicon, a small group in 20+ or middle aged otaku, and they prefer ecchi or even pron.
The author's drawing is cute overall. But I think it'd be a waste for her to draw hentai stuff. She only need a better story in mind.
She did have financial problem when she was starting her career as an illustrator for novels in Tokyo. She had once wanted to quit and leave Tokyo. May be that's why her money talks get easily noticed by fans.

Baka to Test was Exactly What It Said On The Tin. That sold. It doesn't entirely prove my point, but still. Accurately saying what something is about will get more people to check it out.
