Comments on: Hayate the Combat Love Slave - 14 http://www.minaidehazukashii.com/hinano/2007/07/01/hayate-the-combat-love-slave-14/ Hinano's Babble About Japanese TV-Shows Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:33:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Haesslich http://www.minaidehazukashii.com/hinano/2007/07/01/hayate-the-combat-love-slave-14/#comment-22973 Haesslich Thu, 05 Jul 2007 06:17:21 +0000 http://www.minaidehazukashii.com/hinano/2007/07/01/hayate-the-combat-love-slave-14/#comment-22973 Hinano: The manga provides a LOT of material to mine, but the anime's already taken great liberties with the material (example: Ep 14 has Katsura-sensei put on the spot by Klaus where the manga didn't do this) in order to provide enough material in that one story to stretch out over the course of the whole episode. There's definitely enough material in 10+ published collections to stretch out over 52 episodes, which is what I was trying to get across to Darkron. And the reason she's more 'into' that is because a) she's a Konota-class otaku with regards to games, manga, anime and dating sims without Konota's overt pervert tendencies (even if her imagination DOES tend to run away with her), and b) because emotionally she's more developed than Hayate is because she's had the leisure of time and friends/family with which to develop that aspect of her life. Sakuya and Isumi, especially, provide her with the sisterhood/close female friend bonds that Hayate's life has lacked similar components for... which results in him being somewhat socially immature outside of professional interactions. Whether they bring those two together, or if they continue to be close but 'not quite there yet' is another matter; the Mahoraba anime went the second route, even though the manga it came from... well, I won't spoil, but let's just say the anime ending differed from the manga's.

Uh yea get your pedophile facts straight plz kthx. Please dont compare Kodomo no Jikan with this...there's a freaking 12 year or so difference not a 3 year gap. Haesslich, I realize in the manga nothing happens but most often anime takes creative paths and my hope is they will nudge Nagi & Hayate together because as you said, she is more "into" the whole romance/dating thing while Hayate is busy enjoying living a somewhat, normal life.

I suspect the reason they're rushing is because they wanted to get all the characters introduced first, then start on the normal story progression... especially as the first four volumes of the manga happen within the span of about two weeks or so. :D And I think the point, Darkron, is that the three-year gap will be minimized fairly quickly - within three or four years, it won't really matter: once they both move into the late teens/early adulthood, that is. Mentally, in some ways she's more developed emotionally than Hayate, whose social life was stunted by his need to work (thus giving up any socialization outside of school hours)... and she's farther ahead than he on the idea of romance; he's a little dense that way, to the point where he can't even seem to react to a confession properly. Still, from what I recall of later volumes (they're up to material for Vol 11 in Japan, IIRC), they've yet to get any further than 'friends' because Hayate really can't see Nagi as anything but a beloved master/little sister figure yet. They're NOT likely to run out of stuff anytime soon... especially not with filler eps like Ep 10 (the video game ep). According to ANN and other news sites, it’s 52 episodes.

And I am sorry Hinano but he is 16 and she is 13, its not the 3 year gap that creates the issue but the fact she is a child and he is a teenager ... This is not Komodo no Jikan.

Besides which, given that this is supposed to go on for 52 episodes, I doubt they'll end at Vol 4...

Pedophilia to me is like a 20 year old liking a 10 year old, not a 3 year difference.

I am not keen on the "Hayate is a pedophile" ending ... But seeing on what they did I can guess they will end it at the end of volume 3/start of volume 4 so you will get your "Hayate is a lolicon" ending. Err … you KNOW that Nagi is 13 right?

But as long as Hayate & Nagi keep up the cuteness, I'm all for it. PLEASE don't even hint at Hayate not ending up with Nagi! It's an impossibility. Just stating the option is giving hope to crazy people on the Internet! Like those Saurka/Naruto idi... never mind. :) I'm sure the crush girl will be sent on her way eventually. She's just a plot device.. just a plot device... I hope. Now that you mentioned potatoes, I want something starchy. French fries would be good. Damn McDonald's and their breakfast/lunch segregation. I personally have no problem reading regurgitation. That's what most blogs are. It's your tone and take that make it interesting. I haven't made out a parody on this show in about 3 episodes. I'm sure they are there, just not on my radar. The last bleep I got was the Freddy/Jason one from the episode with the old cartridge game. To sum up, comment on what you're feeling about the show and it will be more than satisfying. I’m just downloading episode 13 so I feel at a loss to speak of this episode.
