It's finally here! Hayate the Combat Butler anime!
QUOTE
16-year-old Hayate is really down on his luck. Because his unemployed parents are good-for-nothings who waste what money they have on gambling, Hayate had to start working at a young age to help out his family. Although such experience has made him inhumanly fast and tough and skilled at things boys aren`t normally skilled it, it has also left him in an awkward position, as his parents have racked up such a huge gambling debt that they have sold Hayate to the yakuza for the value of his organs. In a desperate attempt to avoid that fate, Hayate decides to become a "bad guy" and kidnap someone to be held for ransom, but his efforts to do so are mistaken as a confession of love by the girl he targets. When he helps save the (as it turns out) ultra-wealthy 13-year-old Nagi from real kidnappers, she takes him in and gives him a job as her new personal butler (and love interest) until he can pay off his debt. But Hayate is more attracted to Nagi`s beautiful teenage maid Maria, and head butler Klaus is initially disapproving of the boy with such a poor look. And then there`s Nagi`s pet Tama, who is also a force to be reckoned with.
* Hayate the Combat Butler is based on a manga which serialize in Shonen Sunday.

I've already read the manga, and it's quite good, ecspecially when Hayate's love interest is not actually Nagi. But there has been no dates when this will be released yet, and I think it will be likely aired at the end of the year instead of the near future
Found the list of seiyuus for this animu Kugimiya Rie as Nagi Shiraishi Ryoko as Hayate Tanaka Rie as Maria, Itou Shizuka as Hinagiku, Nabatame Hitomi as Yukiji, Toriumi Kousuke as Himuro

HHMaster, please merge with your old thread 1st ep will be spoiled for ppl to see what it is about. Subsequent ep will be spoiler tagged. PLEASE ADHERE THIS RULE
Hayate works all his life as his parents gambles away all their money. One day he found out that they ran away and left a huge debt on him. Finding out that his parents manage to stole his money before running away, he planned to kidnap a rich kid for ransom. Mistakenly, while he was making the ransom call, the kid got kidnapped for real, thus he tried to get her back, making her mistaken him as his saviour. Long story short, he ended up working with her at her mansion Taken fromt he amnga with the same name, I was attracted to Kugiyama Rie and because the manga was funnieh

Watched 1st eps n dissappointed. the joke aren't welly blend as it was in manga (or hardly blend as manga n anime work differently). as for the voice actor, am i the only 1 think that Rie doesnt fitted Nagi.

Just watched the 1st ep. abit disspointed as it is not really cohherent with the manga. why is there no blood? was waiting for him to smear some blood onto the car windshiled and ...nothin....
thus dissapointed. still a good start for a great piece. voice acting is marvelous. some of my favourite seiyuu is in.
