There's no real plot, which is proper for a comedy-centered 4-min anime. The jokes are well executed and you'll get some laughs here and there, but not everyone can appreciate it. It targets a certain niche, in which some people cannot understand the jokes, or it will be the other way around. The characters are really flat, but they're not really the focus of the show, its whole focus is about tradition and how silly it is.
All of the episodes seem like they're bottle episodes, and the anime recycles sprites a lot, but such is the nature of Flash Animation. If you ignore that part,
...
however, you'll only see an anime that includes a lot of cultural humor.
Ultimately, I think it really depends on the person watching this show. I personally like this show's jokes and I'd say it's good enough for a 4-min execution.
If you like the cultural appreciation and jabs at traditions, you can watch this with no problems at all. Otherwise, you'll get bored.

HAHAHAHAHA IS THIS FUCKING *COMEDY*? BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT! Jesus, I was wrong to place my hope on Cloverworks.
Want a brief summary? BAD ANIMATION, RUSHED PLOT, NO EXPLANATIONS!
But seriously, this was bad! Let me get started with the plot in this special episode. It adapts the 2nd to last arc, and guess what? Wait, no, you don't need to guess because the answer is clear, they handled it horribly, well, I mean the post credits scene is good, but the rest, nuh-uh. They gave no explanations and just rushed through it! And GUESS MORE WHAT? Joker is the only one that is important here,
...
some scenes here and there, they completely forgot the rest of the gang. Probably so they can give more time to the story, even though it's STILL rushed.
Okay, we're done with the story, let us go to the world of Cloverwork's animation. As you can see, P5A has an animation problem and guess what, jesus I say that phrase a lot, the animation problem isn't fixed! In fact, it's more obvious here! Deformed people, and lack of frames. And it was 51mins for fuck's sake!
To be honest, anime-only watchers would get REALLY confused by this, trust me.
Overall it's 4/10, Cloverworks oughta work on their budget, and you're better off playing the game instead of watching this garbage.
Thanks for reading this review and goodbye~

Short manga to pass the time.
The plot they have is good, some high school girls just talking about everyday life and the comedy is actually funny. Although it gets pretty sexual (note, not ecchi, but the jokes are sexual sometimes).
Also, although they are sexual sometimes, there are some serious parts, but it only appears near the end which is sad actually.
The art was just typical, nothing good, nothing bad. But what the REAL charm of this manga is that they have good characters, they are really uncommon in slice of life manga, and their personalities are distinct. They really show their friendship in this manga
...
which is really cute. I mean, who DOESN'T love TOTALLY NOT YURI GIRL FRIENDSHIP?
Anyways, I did laugh a few at some parts, but overall, I just kept a straight face while reading.
Once again, it's just a manga to pass the time, if you're looking for yuri by the way, it's not here.
Thanks for reading and see you in my next review~

(Please note this review is from someone who played the RPG before so it might be a little bit biased)
This anime is good...
Well, it should've been.
But no, they had to just to ruin a wonderful piece of work into an average adaptation
Let me tell you why, all of the cons cover up all the pros!
Let us start with the plot, if you compare it with 280+ hours of gameplay to this anime, the thing they did is actually good, but it still confuses anime-only viewers, such as why Joker get the other personas without even us seeing him getting that persona. The problem is that
...
the anime doesn't get too much of a battle development, and the only scenes we see them battle is when they battle a boss or something! And hoo boy, they're even OVERPOWERED on those scenes, without us even seeing them train!
But anyways, let's expand on the plot, to be honest, even IF they did skip the battle scenes, they handled the main story pretty good. My only complaint is that they shouldn't have forced confidant scenes and Akechi scenes into the anime, as it is unnecessary and it takes up minutes of precious main story time.
However, towards the end of the anime, they rushed through the story, causing the anime-only viewers get too confused, that is the result of including a long battle scene, therefore, they should've planned the anime first before announcing it as 26 episode, because 26 episodes can't handle all of that.
Now let's discuss about the animation and sound,
The animation? Hoo boy, we don't talk about that here, it was disgustingly horrible. You could obviously tell they didn't have a lot of budget for this anime. Lack of frames, unfinished sprites, name them all. But, the animation improves as the episodes goes by, although only a bit. But, trust me the animation was unbearable to look at in the first few episodes.
The soundtrack in this anime was good, nice opening, nice ending, but in the first few episodes (AGAIN), they forced in background music from the game, making the atmosphere awkward.
What can I say for this anime?
5/10, Hoo boy. This was like a test anime for cloverworks, it improved each episode, even by a bit.
tl;dr improving things each episode, shitty first few episodes and a forced conclusion.
Thanks for reading and goodbye.

The perfect conclusion to a good anime series.
I didn't expect much of this except for a good animation, but when this was out, all my thoughts were wrong. This wasn't a bad movie, this didn't include bad character development, and I didn't certainly expect them to make a good movie out of this.
This movie is about Rikka and Yuuta eloping, this was a pretty good watch, although the dialogues were funny and unintentionally unrealistic, they meant pretty deep words about love--
to change, or not?
If you are in love, you will change. Therefore you shouldn't love if you don't want to change.
However, this movie puts that
...
all away, making the answer a 'maybe'.
The characters' relationship was a nice touch, Dekomori and Fake Mori Summer getting along as usual, making the perfect comedy duo, and then Rikka and Yuuta, their bond is put on the test on this trip of ups and downs.
The use of their soundtrack is good, using the right music at the right places, and the old opening of Chuunibyou.
The animation, was perfect, as expected of KyoAni.
One thing I really want to say, that this anime
HAD THE PERFECT ENDING to this series.
Thank you, author, for this wonderful movie.
And I will miss this series.

(MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS)
We all know the Blend S opening meme, "Smile, Sweet, Sister, Sadistic, Surprise, Service, We Are Stile", and I'm sure half of you guys came here because of that. That's not the only use of the meme, it also sums up this anime, they are stile and this is their everyday lives. But the problem of this anime is that you can't differentiate this from other Slice of Life anime. The only thing differing this from the other SoL anime is the meme and the concept (and possibly the trap too.). Why? You'll see why.
Let's start with the story, the anime is about
...
Cafe Stile's employees and their lives. Pretty simple, right? But the thing is, they have to act according to their persona while working, which is pretty different than other feel-good SoL anime. There isn't any action or drama whatsoever happening in the story rather than romance. I rate the story a 7. It's good, it's a good plot.
The art is good, nice character design, if you see their silhouettes, you'll know it's the Blend S cast immediately. It is also suited for this kind of story, the light feeling of the art. Therefore it's a 9.
The opening and the ending is nice! Especially the opening, not because of the memes, it's because of the upbeat feeling! You'll pretty much be in a happy mood after hearing the opening. And the ending, it's so calming even if it's an upbeat song... The opening and the ending is like complete opposites, while the opening makes you hyped up for the episode, the ending calms you down because the episode ended. The OST isn't really special howsoever, but it's normal for a SoL anime. I give it an 8.
The characters are quite original for a SoL anime, there's the accidental sadist Maika Sakuranomiya, where she has a sadistic smile and accidentally do things that are sadistic therefore her personality while working is sadistic, she can be differentiated by the other waitresses because of her personality. The normal girl Kaho Hinata, which is a gamer. Her personality in the cafe is tsundere, however is different when you mention games in front of her. She's well, pretty cute and doesn't really have a over exaggerated personality. The real sadist Mafuyu Hoshikawa, she's a mature girl despite her height, she's a little sister while working, she's a good character, but this character is cliche. The older sister-like perverted girl Miu Amano, she's a nice character, you can differentiate her from other waitresses too. The trap idol, Hideri Kanzaki, well, we all know this one. The manager, Dino, he's a funny character that has a crush for Maika, he's got a nice personality and all, but it's pretty... uh, normal. And the cook, Kouyou Akizuki, which is a normal person, well, that's it.
The only problem of these characters is the later episode characters, they have interesting concept and design, but they have minor roles after their introductions. So I give it a 6.
Enjoyment is 8 for a feel-good anime, it does succeed to amuse me each episode.
Therefore, the overall score is 6, it's a pretty normal feel-good anime if you realize later on and doesn't really give an impact to your mind.
Thank you for taking the time to read this review and see you next time.

(May contain lil' spoilers)
Ah... The classic comedy series... "Hayate no Gotoku!". One of my favorite manga.
Gotta say, this manga is one hell of a funny manga, however, I think its comedic charm is falling down or something like that. Don't get me wrong, I like the manga, yet, after reading 470+ chapters, it just simply became BORING.
Well, for now, let's see the main part of the review.
STORY: 6
A boy, a simple boy with a debt of so many digits tried to kidnap a little rich girl, but then failed as the girl thought he was confessing to her. She got kidnapped. The boy saved her.
...
He became a butler!
Seems like a great start. This manga has an ordinary story, yet, it brings us happiness and tears, why? This manga executes humor well. They break the fourth wall, they have funny misunderstandings, and has stereotypical characters that aren't funny but funny at the same time!
But sometimes, this series has some sad moments, the manga, however, mixes up funny jokes in sad moments.
The story is great and all, but I'll give it a 6 for repeating the same ol' jokes.
ART: 7
Good art, I liked it. They illustrate the emotions of the characters well. I also liked how the art changes as the years pass by.
That's all I could say about the art. I'll give it a 7.
CHARACTER: 6
Haha... Are you kidding with me? These characters make no sense at all. I don't know why people like these characters. But I could raise one point because of Nagi and Hayate's character development.
Hayate is completely dense, cliche, OP, unlucky (or so he claims, I think he's lucky because he got a harem) and a normal harem MC. But, his character development throughout the series is the only thing I like about him. He's just a normal harem MC but as a butler.. Don't bother reviewing him.
Alright, let's review Hayate's stereotypical harem.
The first candidate.
Nagi Sanzenin.
Small, spoiled, rich, tsundere girl. People may or may not agree on my opinion, but I think she's the most interesting girl in the series, for her characteristics change. For example, her tsundere personality gets ripped apart little and little each chapter. Now, she seems like a little girl that has a crush on her butler. I pick her as best girl.
Oh, and she has a cute character design.
The second candidate.
Hinagiku Katsura.
Oh god, I hate this character the most. The self-righteous flat-chested tsundere. She blushes all the fucking time, tries to keep her cool. However, her character design is great and all... But I just can't stand these kinds of characters.
This might trigger some people but sorry, not sorry.
Anyways, I don't wanna bother reviewing this girl anymore. Next.
The third candidate.
Ayumu Nishizawa.
So far, I think she's a great character. A childhood friend of Hayate. She's a girl whose life filled with misunderstanding. But she's a great character overall for her hamsterness.
The fourth candidate.
Athena Tennousu.
The girl that has the most common sense in the harem. She's a childhood friend of Hayate AND she's the ex-girlfriend of Hayate. Their interactions are quite cute though. I like her character design especially when she is older now.
She's quite serious and nice.
Fifth candidate.
Ruka Suirenji.
I like her playful attitude as an idol. I also like her simple character design.
That's all for his harem.
Now for one other character.
Maria.
She's far the greatest character in the series. However, she isn't qualified to be in Hayate's harem as she doesn't have feelings for him. But! She's the most mysterious character, she has a sad past. And her maid character design is cool.
Okay, we're done with the characters. I'll give it a 5. Plus 1 for Hayate and Nagi's character development.
ENJOYMENT: 6
Enjoyment is important for every story... I enjoyed the jokes, I enjoyed the goofy situations, I enjoyed the manga. However. After 470+ chapters, it gradually gets boring. How? Well, they recycled jokes over and over. I hate them for doing that. Well, I'd give it a 6 anyways.
OVERALL: 6
Good and not good at the same time.
And you reached the end of my Hayate no Gotoku! review. Thanks for reading.

A one-shot brought to you by Komi Naoshi, the creator of the light-hearted comedy harem manga called Nisekoi. At first, you will think that this one-shot will be full of laughs and light-hearted moments. However, it's the opposite.
This one-shot features 2 main characters, yet it still made us cry in just 1 chapter. The story is just heartwarming, the character development is great, in just a few months, they became friends from just a simple situation, heartbeats. The characters are just normal, yet, those characters are special in any way.
The art is quite detailed and nice, they put out the effort to draw good.
This is
...
a MUST-READ for all the people who likes a heartwarming manga.

Honestly, this recap is better than the entirety of the Chaos;Head anime. This is a good start to the Chaos;Child anime. It helps us to get ready for the anime, which is great since they adapted the important points on the visual novel. If some of the people are wondering why there is things that weren't in the anime because the studio decided to follow the visual novel more than the anime.
They adapted the quite important points pretty well, the art is fine. Everything else is fine. One thing that I really liked that they added vn-only scenes, it helps people that didn't watch the
...
prequel before the sequel, although since this recap only gives a quarter of information, you might need to watch/read the prequel.
This recap is okay. I will give it a 6, made me hyped up for episode 1 of Chaos;Child.

Okay, everybody, why hate kira?
First of all, they are just giving us fan service for all we've gone through watching all those bloody arcs! Damn it!
It's not a bad anime, you guys are just overreacting, don't give 1/10 so suddenly!
Here's some of the good points of the anime:
It's super funny, all those jokes almost made me die! Especially the Satoshi one, that was so gay!
...
They are making parodies of the scenes of previous Higurashi seasons. This is where I fell in love in Kira. They are clearly making you remember of the previous Higurashi seasons, see how lovable they are!
And lastly, the feels! This anime isn't complete without the feels! The last episode made me cry, laugh and cry. Won't tell you why though, that would be a spoiler.
Since that's all I want to say, I'm going to say goodbye.
Sayonara.
