The cast for Hayate the Combat Butler has been announced… if only Ayako Kawasumi and Yuko Goto had roles, we could have had the first ever all-meido pantheon cast. But alas, here’s the list:
Hayate： Ryoko Shiraishi… not bad. Hopefully she’ll use Shiratori’s overmatched voice. She’s also voicing Rin for Nagasarete. Busy year.
Nagi：Rie Kugimiya… OH NO! Rie Kugimiya casting yet another flat tsundere loli role. Seriously typecast.
Maria：Rie Tanaka… excellent choice. Hopefully we’ll get Marial Rie Tanaka and not Lacus Rie Tanaka.
Hinagiku：Shizuka Ito… conflicted since this is Wilhelmina ‘s seiyuu… but Hinagiku isn’t, uh, an older character.

Well, I guess we’ll see hwo well this gets animated. If it’s J.C. Staff or similar, I’ll be ecstatic – their manga-to-anime adaptations turn out quite well.
If it’s Gonzo or XEBEC, however..
Shizuka Itou did the Tama-nee from ToHeart2 and err.. Koto-nee from Zoids Genesis
I was hoping Rie would be Nagi. Wasn’t sure about Hayate…
I’ll be happy when the first episode is out. The manga is awesome so I hope the anime can live up to it.
Ito Shizuka also did Saya in Happiness and Wreathlit in Yoake. I think she could pull it off.

There is still Kamyu form Utawarerumono!!
but… Alphonse Elric…
>>Hayate, Combat
This isn’t Nanoha??
Woot! I’ve been waiting for Hayate to go anime for a long time and it finally does! Hinagiku FTW!
Hmm, not a bad selection.
Rie Tanaka I was semi-hoping for as Hinagiku just cause of certain bday concert but Shizuka Ito is an excellent choice as well. I wholeheartedly second the “Hopefully we’ll get Marial Rie Tanaka and not Lacus Rie Tanaka” comment!
Shizuka Ito as Hinagiku… well I’m a Shizuka Ito fan so anything she does is instant
(continuing on as my comment was half eaten..)
.. love for me ;)
Nagi I think we can all guess how Rie Kugimiya will play as, so I’ll leave it at that. Honestly, wanted Chiwa Saito if I had my way.
Ryoko Shiraishi as Hayate is my only real disappointment. I have no doubt she’ll do a fine job but I was really hoping for a male seiyuu for our hapless hero. Probably some typecasting, but I thought of Satoshi Hino as someone who could have nailed the role pretty well. Though kurogane’s choice of Tomokazu Seki, if I remember correctly, wouldn’t have been bad either.
As long as the animation is decent and they follow the manga well-enough, there’s a good chance I’ll be buying the R2s when released. I just love this series so much! (actually was just re-reading volume 3 earlier today)
Sorry for the double post!
Honestly, wanted Chiwa Saito if I had my way.
Agreed.
Also agree with Hayate’s disappointing seiyuu. I was hoping for Tomokazu Seki or Jun Fukuyama.
Hm… Sakuya, Isumi, Wataru and that other meido called saki, was it? I guess we could include Tama. I wonder who will be voicing them
Tama *has* to be voiced by Jouji Nakata! I’ll also take Norio Wakamoto as an acceptable second choice.
Isumi I was thinking Ai Shimizu or Ai Nonaka.
For Wataru I wouldn’t mind Junko Minagawa playing.
Saki.. hmm.. we can still hope for Ayako Kawasumi right?
Funny. I was just reading this manga, and lo and behold, it’s now up for an anime series? Good news. Good news.
>>> Hinagiku FTW!
QFT. :)
>>Maria：Rie Tanaka… excellent choice. Hopefully we’ll get Mariel Rie Tanaka and not Lacus Rie Tanaka.
Judging by Hinagiku’s hair accessory on that pic, we might be getting Meer Rie Tanaka… X(
So I’m guessing this will help that manga-ka out of debt?
Ryoko Shiraishi is good, seeing how Hayate is a girly type like Shiratori, despite Hayate having much more guts. Rie Kugimiya as Nagi… well, who better to deliver these lines?
“Uruchai! Uruchai! URUCHAI!”
Yeah… and we’ll see how they pull this off. I’m hoping for Mariel or Yomi-tendencies in her Maria voice, rather than Lacus or… Suigintou. Although the flower garden incident, or when she’s getting burnt up because people think she’s older, probably would be the right time to slip a little Gin-sama into her voice. :D
Mind you.. I’m hoping they keep the chapter-ending jokes from the first few episodes in this. It’d be nice to see them flash that in, then someone shouts “Wait! Wait a minute!” in the background.
