Hayate no Gotoku!

The series, also known as Hayate The Combat Butler, is one of the more highly anticipated offerings of the new Spring Season.

--------------------

Plot Summary:

Hayate is the son of two unemployed parents. One day, his parents rack up such a huge debt that they decide to abandon him and leave him to the Yakuzas whom they owe money to. After initially escaping from their clutches, Hayate spots a frustrated young girl (Nagi) having trouble with a drink dispenser. Seeing how well off she seemed, his 'angelic' side prompted him to come up with the bold plan of kidnapping her and holding her ransom in other to pay off his debts. However, his choice of words used on her instead gives the girl the impression that he was confessing his love for her!

Needless to say, he was too much of a "Mr Nice Guy" to really follow through with the plan, and instead, eventually rescues her from other thugs who had kidnapped her. In return for his service, he asks her for a job. After some contemplation, she decides to make him her butler, and henceforth, the story starts. After the first 2 episodes, I've decided to stick with the series since it seemed like it was packed with comedy and a little action, as well as having a 'tsundere-type' of main character in the form of Nagi (Yes, she does resemble Shana a little, especially when she goes "urusai urusai urusai!")

Since many other blogs have already written their reviews of the first two episodes, I've decided to forego writing a review of my own, and instead, proceed with Quiz #2 : Spot The Anime/Character References !
