Hayate No Gotoku looked like a decent show, but I’m just not getting into it. I think it just feels too slow to me, it’s not a bad show if you’ve got the time to watch it, but I have plenty of other things in my list of stuff to watch. Anyone else have any thoughts on it? I watched the first 10 episodes, but it didn’t feel like it was going to start to actually get going so I’m going to put it on indefinite hold for now.
There’s is some decent comedy in it such as Hayate’s regular conversations with Santa and Tama the talking tiger. But it is too far between jokes and there isn’t much of any real story in between the gaps. It seems like a great idea that was poorly executed in the end. The animation is great and the characters are all good, but the timing just isn’t right in most cases.
Some various merch such as DVDs and a DS game are available for it at Play-Asia.
