First Impressions Hayate no Gotoku!

Hayate no Gotoku!! 2nd Season – 20

By Divine August 18, 2009

Haruko pulls off a sexier maid than Maria. No wonder the latter got sidelined this episode.

When I can't recall the seiyuu of a character, it usually means they've fallen far off my radar. This was the case with Harukaze Chiharu a.k.a. "Haruko", who's played Fujimura Ayumi (Shimizu Raimei in Nabari no Ou). Oddly, Ayumi is a seiyuu I normally take notice to, so learning that she plays the student council secretary who secretly works as a maid for Sakuya suddenly put Haruko in a whole new light. See above.

First Impressions Suzumiya Haruhi

Something Not Endless

By Omni August 13, 2009

Fortunately, KyoAni didn't try to pull something by airing another episode of Endless Eight or anything like that. They actually moved forward with the Sighs of Suzumiya Haruhi, which means showing how the Mikuru movie came to be. It was a decent set-up episode with, not surprisingly, a lot of Haruhi bossing everyone around along with Kyon's snide comments, plus it started with a brief sports festival bit. Full writeup coming in a bit...
