Hayate no Gotoku! - Can't Take My Eyes Off You - First Half Review

Hayate no Gotoku! - Can't Take My Eyes Off You


Studio: ManGlobe
Adapted From: Manga
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Plot Summary: The story of Hayate Ayasaki working alongside with maid Maria at Nagi Sanzenin's mansion continues. One day, Nagi receives a phone call from "Area 51," inviting her to the universe. Nagi wants to accept the offer, only to be stopped by Maria.

My Review: I didn't actually have time to properly give review but its about the same with the "Personal Opinion" so whats the point of this one -.-; dunno too much thinking so accept this with love.

Art Style and Visual Effects:

If i were to compare the First / Second Season of this anime i would probably say it has improved through the years. There isn't really a difference since this is a comedy "romance" anime based so ill just keep moving. The art has really improved if you look back...



The Visual Effects are one of the best for comedy animes since Hayate's strength is exaggerated to a point to knowing every skill from any other anime....except I'm not sure this anime contains much references compare its previous 2 seasons. There are still brief references still.... thats the highlight for this anime after all.

Not really a visual effect.... but cmon show some blood punching glass but theres your visual effect on the below image =p



Rating: 7.5/10

Story Setting:

Somehow the main plot has been lost within the comedy of this anime lol. There were some mentions about it so that main whole point and plot doesn't fall in hole completely. However still gets covered by good laughs. To be honest i don't really know what would be the difference from the original series of season 1/2 to this one since they've said its a different story. If you compare that manga where its current chapter is to this anime... Pretty much the story of the anime skipped ahead of the manga temporary. Not only that the plot twist would be Nagi's "proclaimed" sister and Nagi's father as the key points of the anime.






The comedy still never fails me for a good couple of laughs but I'm still lost in the story.

There is really nothing to say but this one. You seen them in action through Season 1... towards Season 2 towards the Movie... to now. Except you have Yuka Iguchi as Ruri Tsugumi to bring more laughs. Well i can't find a good gif or pic of her in the first episode when starts flying off the bike at the end.... Deal with this one for the lol's



The Op song doesn't really catch my attention but it does fit the romantic comedy mood. The Ed song is probably implying something though its really catchy. I'm still curious what this character that appears in the anime suppose represent.


Rating: 9.5/10

Game/Manga/Light Novel:

Lets just simplify this. Read the manga may be random but there seems to be no end for now lol.

Manga





Rating: 9/10

Personal Opinion:

I've always thought about this in my head... how did i ever managed to keep up with this series lol? Well this series will be different compare to previous series seasons with a different plot. Dunno is there anything different yet besides some "mystery" behind certain events? They never got rid of their main genre "comedy" so its fine. Nothing much ill just watch until the end for my final thought of their new plot twist of an anime.

Need more isumi....wheres the cell phone chapter!




Rating: 9/10

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

P.S. I delayed this way to long but i got to engulf either work, new animes, more naps, out of the house or playing games.... i see if i can throw another in before the day ends.... though this is just for shits and giggles =/
