Hayate no Gotoku (or literally Hayate the Combat Butler or in moon language ハヤテのごとく！) is a brand new anime with Rie Kugimiya as the VA for Nagi Sanzenin or the female lead. What does this mean? Well, we pretty much have Shakugan no Shana version three. Zero no Tsukaima was considered by many to the second Shana as it’s a slice of life anime with the same VA doing the same style voice. This one will probably be alittle bit more interesting then ZnT and Shana.

So, let’s establish the facts. Keiichiro Kawaguchi is the director, who did Ginban Kaleidoscope, Great Teacher Onizuka, and Getsumen To Heiki Mina. All four of these were VERY good animes and all of them were kind of slice of life with some action put in here and there. We’ve got Rie Tanaka of Gundam fame as a maid (a kind of off cast character). My favorite, Norio Wakamoto is the kind of announcer who is also MECHAZAWA from Cromartie High School.

The all star cast is already lined up. What else does Hayate have to pull out for us? Outside of the HD raws available for us NA viewers… a lot! It’s got so far a pretty good plot, Shana’s voice, and a cast of other VA’s who are just absolutely fantastic.
