Ah, Athena huh?

Well anyways, Hayate is a common harem. So don't expect a really deep and serious plot since it's a 4th-wall breaker-comedy harem.
Haha it's not like I expect a deep plot from hayate, I read the series for the comedy but it get dragged so much I starting to get bored. That's why when I get to Athena arc it gives a nice turn from the comedy even if it doesn't have very deep plot

True. But you know, they'll get back to the usual harem comedy right? (If you're still reading the Athena arc)

It's just a matter of time, or in your case, matter of your reading time.

Though there are some non-mainstream harem out there, I'm not really interested into harem right now (being single and all). And I forgot to read Umineko, damnit.

Hayate no gotoku was already good to begin with, but the end of the world (Athena) arc just made it go up 10 levels in awesome, it went downhill and started fluctuating at a low level from then, though stuff seems to be picking up now.

Btw not talking about anime, not as good as the manga because no Athena, and I didn't like the art for the second season AT ALL, the openings and endings also took a hit, that wonder wind song was annoying, and the rest don't hold a candle to the originals, Honjitsu Mankai watashi iro was good though.

This.

They probably saving Athena for the 3rd Season, or just saving it 'till needed. I mean, Hayate (Anime) doesn't really have a clear plot to begin with (since they only force a plot in the 3-4 last episodes in S1 & S2).

To put it simple, the anime is a typical stereotype harem show.

That's what the quote's for. And it's quite decent, though I cannot imagine a guy who finds real girls repulsive to be involved so deeply with them.

It's a supernatural genre, it's not a normal romance, and it's also a very funny parody of the videogame world. Try to watch the first episodes if you can, the original name is "Kami Nomi Zo Shiru Sekai". I like it, it's not heavy, it's just some fun between the other slaughtering anime that I like ^^

So, if you know the story, why you said that it's quite decent and why focused on the fact that you can't take it in a realistic way? I can't find something really bad in this show/manga so I think it's very good.

Well, the introductions a bit weird. It's interesting to see an otaku+hikikomori stepping out of his comfort zone to face the conflicts. But having to "date girls with crevasse in their hearts" took me a while to adjust.

But I suppose they repay it back with an interesting "god-stuck-inside-humans" dilemma that gives them memories of Keima "dating" them.

You are trying to take it too seriously, yes, there is some accuse to hikikomori but you just have to enjoy the charm of the protagonists, trust me, don't think too much, just enjoy the show.

Hey, telling a story of a Hikikomori stepping out of his comfort zone to save those who're dear/strangers to him are very impressive. I bet no one has ever thought of that before this manga came out. But the concept that I had a hard time adjusting to is how the problems are solved by dating the girls. Though I'm fine now, seeing as the god-dilemma problem made the previous concept much more worthy and intriguing.

And that's my point of view for the manga. It's not that I look down on it. Hell, I'm praising it LOL.
