What I got into Hayate no Gotoku? (A Fanatic's Short History)
Early Beginnings

It was on August 1, 2009, the death of the former Philippine president Cory Aquino and just more than a month before typhoon Ondoy/Ketsana hitting my place (which is Quezon City, by the ways I was a graduating high school student back then), I already have an issue of Otakuzine (the locally-made anime magazine) with the picture of the Hayate anime whose English subs was aired on Animax Asia during that time, urges me by destiny to become a loyal fan!

From then on, I started typing either "Hayate no Gotoku" or "Hayate the Combat Butler" on the internet then I noted down the characters' names-from Hayate, Nagi and Maria up to the rest-and later on I memorized them all and their b-days (the latest ones are Ruka, Ruri and Kayura) at the same time its anime theme songs through YouTube to memorizing the lyrics-from Kotoko's "Hayate no Gotoku! to Elisa's "Wonder Wind", and "Karakoi" of Hayate and Nagi...the eps...and the manga itself (even though that it was temporarily stopped due to Ondoy's wrath in NCR and neighboring provinces). But I resumed all the Hayate-related stuff shortly after the tragedy.

CTMEOY Gives a Huge Upgrade as a Fan

Not until that it was the 3rd season, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, gave me new heights and upgrading myself as a fan with discovering new characters (Ruri, Shin, etc.) and theme songs like "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by eyelis and "Koi no Wana" by Ruka Suirenji. What's more surprising to me was the anime studio swap from Synergy SP to JC Staff to Manglobe, which were the ones actually doing the movie, "Heaven is a Place on Earth", but anyways...time really changes everything.

Almost 4 yrs, but still loved Hayate

Therefore after almost 4 yrs and I'm now in college, my love for Hayate no Gotoku is still endless and hope that it would still keep going to enjoy the new generation of Hayate fans, at the same time I'm doing the usual stuff but this time downloading Hayate music including the earlier (S1 & 2) and recent character songs (CTMEOY) plus songs from HIAPOE and also currently watching the 4th season, Cuties, added me to my fan proportions. Because no matter what character designs it has right now, our debt-ridden combat butler, Hayate Ayasaki, is the luckiest anime character who inspires me a lot!
