I'd like to welcome you to this course on Hayate no Gotoku. Actually, it's a terrible way to start. Hayate no Gotoku is a terrible name for this anime. First of all it's not about wind. It might be butlers... or it might be wealthy people... Or we'll actually see that Hayate... so-called 'Gotoku' actually has a lot in common with magic. We will see that in this course.

And it's not about wind in the same sense that... that computer science is not really about computers... and Higurashi is not really about cicadas.

As I said in the other thread: Higurashi is related to cicadas with the summer and all that shit.

I know nothing about Hayate no Gotoku other than Hayate's attacks from We Are Friend.

But the full name, "When the Cicadas cry", has a decent enough relation to the story.

I'd say that my English is decent, but do you really call it "cry" when you refer to cicadas?

I can't remember the different kanji for "naku", but I'm pretty sure there's one for the sounds most animals make, one for when people cry, and one for when dogs bark.

Yes. Insects cry just as much as mammals and birds.

>I can't remember the different kanji for "naku", but I'm pretty sure there's one for the sounds most animals make, one for when people cry, and one for when dogs bark.

This falls under the first category. Remember, When They Cry does not use kanji for the "[Na]ku", as it has the Na in red.
