The cover's rather plain compared to the others. But I think it's okay ^^
I'll be getting this and vol.7 when it comes out
As expected, for Part 8. It works for me. I'm looking forward to the last volume.

Whenever it arrives. :sweat:
The cover certainly allows for a nice "insert your own background" contest.

I'm in no rush. I have waited this long, it's not a big deal for me anymore.

This is a nice looking cover. So I guess that this will be solicited for January?

Oh, volume 8????? Is that possible. Well, it looks fine but, I would have prefer not a white background. I wonder when it will be released.

The background could use some color...

A hamster who's angry about not getting a cover? (http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b179/Balmung_HHQ/hayate8_angryayumu.jpg)
I believe so.

Wow. It's almost as if the ones in front are acting like those creative "please buy the DVD" censors.

There is an essential blandness to this cover.

Which seems to fit well with the essential blandness Bandai wound up putting into its release unfortunately.

OK Bandai... this is essentially a middle finger up at Ayumu Nishizawa.
Ignoring the obvious absense of one of the only characters to appear in every single episode of this series, I could show you hundreds of much better images to use for the cover than this one. Instead we get bland "characters on blank background".
I know costs are tight, but Bandai has shown us that they can produce decent cover art in the past. (OK - I've just seen the My Otome s.ifr cover, so I take that back)

Alternatively it's Bandai saying "Move on, move on, nothing to see here." at the series and trying to forget the absolute travesty that was their release.
I mean, I could ignore the no-dub issue. I could ignore the really slow release. Heck, I could even ignore the lack of Ayumu (but never forgive it) to some extent... The one thing I can't forgive is the overriding feeling that Bandai licenced this, and then just gave up on it before they'd even given it a chance.
If the distributer has already thrown in the towel, how on earth is the series ever going to sell?

Hey, you can't blame BEI for that one, all three choices for that are pretty lame, the one they chose was by far the best.

Release Date: 1/4/11
How many delays there will be?

Lets put it this way. It'll probably be closer to the UK reading of that date than the American reading.

It looks plain, but for the last volume it is very fitting.

I get the feeling that ultimately the series became a victim of a desire to keep costs down. In other words, you could consider it a sacrifice.

Cover Art looks good, however I will not be buying Hayate until Bandai releases 2 Season Box Sets or 1 Complete Collection Box Set.
No delays for the last volume...

So... not only do they completely ignore her on the front, they also ignore her on the back (save from a tiny little picture you can hardly see)

Bandai clearly want me - one the biggest fans of this series - to not help promote it in my own way.
