Neat!

This series seems to be quite silly and fluffyfun, I'm sure it'll be an enjoyable anime. Smile

I'm actually curious about this one since Key gave a very favorable review on the manga. I wonder what the staff is going to be like. Rolling Eyes

I'm very excited to hear more about the anime. I love this manga, and I hope it translates well to anime. This is one of the series I'm most looking forward to for 2007

I thought it sounded interesting by the review so I will have to check it out. I love comedy romance type of shows, so I doubt this will be a waste of time. By the description of the manga it sounds like the reverse of He is my Master which I liked so it looks like there is a good chance of me liking this already. Very Happy

I've only seen one ep of HiMM (couldn't stand it). Hayate isn't like that. It's a comedy that likes to put in hidden jabs at other mangas, a funny slice of life about a rich clueless girl, very poor superstrong, pathetic, meat-shield clueless boy and the girl's misinterpretation of the boy's kidnapping attempt as a confession of love, and other weird wacky cliched people. It's a fun manga. There's not much fanservice, and the characters all recognize they are in a manga (like stopping each other from saying copyrighted names, how you can't show this in a shounen manga, etc). Overall, a fun low brain intensive manga. Hopefully the anime will be good too.

Why is it that the encyclopedia has had the page for the series since before the new year but it gets announced now? Just wondering of the delay.

Because there are at least two Encyclopedists monitoring Moon Phase, SaiAni, and other news sources on a daily basis. Several users also monitor those two sites, in addition to Syoboi Calendar, for newest announcements and episodes.

The two reasons of why I haven't added everything listed on Moon Phase's anime schedule are 1) I don't have that much time 2) many of them are still in the planning phase and can be canceled and/or indefinitely postponed, e.g. Mardock Scramble.
