Great episode. Maria has become such an irrelevant character these days it's great to see time dedicated to her. The next 2 episodes will be original, I wonder what will happen (the preview did not show anything).

There was enough comedy to keep this episode entertaining.

And nice "Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai" references.

Maria's ep.!

Maria was student council president like Hina, and that scientist teacher was vice. lol @ her smile while breaking the video and casette.

Hayate getting a love letter from yandere? (lol @ that butler? father? soul writing it for fun), and Maria is the fake girlfriend!! lol @ Ayumu and Hina follow them, and Maria trying to be the "Onee-san".

Next ep. is Hikasa-san's character (at least from the ED that announced, though the preview is not clear). I wonder what the ep. would be able the follow that, since the title hasn't announced yet.

Because Maria's the best choice obviously!

Plus, Hina left with Ayumu, so it's not like she left alone.

It seemed fairly unfamiliar to me, but it might be part of the manga chapters that I skipped to get caught up.

Next two episodes are ALL NEW content~

I hope these are as good as CTMEOY~

Good episode. but I don't think it was adapted from the chapter correctly somehow. I forget but I swear there was more to it.

Cause she got her date chapter done in season 3?

honestly though, this episode was better then other because it stuck to how hayate SHOULD be. about hayate, with nagi and maria playing their roles as important side characters well. Ayumu and hinagiku were how they should be as well. that's why I don't like this series I think. not enough hayate and too much time on characters I don't care about or are just better as secondary characters that invoke funny situations or state silly things. or point out flaws or somesuch.

A refreshingly solid episode. Glad to see Maria get some love since she's been pretty forgettable these days.

I sort of agree. On one hand, they are introducing way too many characters to actually build some solid depth while continuously developing the previous characters. On the other, I do like it when characters like Hina and Ayumu and Athena and Isumi (best non-heroine) get bigger roles since they're also pretty important to the story.

well, if they were to have continued where season 2 left off and did a 26 episode season, everything would've been perfect. but we didn't, we got this instead.

but I digress. I've already made these kind of statements about hayate. (one of the only 3 anime I truly care about) in all my other posts. It's just as a fan I expect better and know it can be done. but it's not, and it disappoints me.

Seriously this is the most Hayate-like episode we get so far. And Maria is great as expected. Thought I'm a little dissapoint that they don't anounce the third character poll result.

And Hata-sensei and Wakaki-sensei is really a good friend.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Fantastic episode!!!

Good start with the Maria back in her student days also being known as 'Chibi Kaichou' and she is so honest and cute. I remember some bits from the manga and the date was the main objective. That priest really was the culprit behind the letter and being unaware of this knowledge, Hayate and Maria go on a date using a scenario provided by Nagi.

There were so many great scenes especially with Hayate dressing up and Ayumu coincidentally passing by finding it so awkward. Nagi's scenario is so creative and funny and to make things worse for Hinagiku to see them and her hug towards the bear was cute. Maria's outfit was also very pretty and lets not forget that those kind of clothes are meant to be like for her age. The aquarium created a good moment between the two and the priest's reactions after being rejected by Maria was priceless as the two seemed to have a lot of fun during this date. I really enjoyed the facial expressions and reactions that Hayate, Maria, Ayumu and Hinagiku made in this one and was one of the most enjoyable watches so far in this series.

Looking forward to that mysterious phone call in the next episode!!

5/5

This.

I have to say they looked like a cute couple. Though I am surprised there has been no VN like that. This was a pretty enjoyable ep I find from its writing reminded me of the first season.

Now this is the way a Hayate episode should be.

Always thought Maria was great as a "straight man," if you will.

Maria is better than Nagi but nowhere near Ruka and Hina. Nice fanservice though, looking hot

00:09 I'm surprised to see her stats. I thought she'd be taller and would weigh more. So far, Hinagiku is the tallest and heaviest of the waifus IIRC.
17:22 Hinagiku cuteness overload!

Since Maria is my 2nd or 3rd favorite, I enjoyed this episode. Maria looked so beautiful with her hair down and had good fanservice scenes. However, they missed an opportunity to make this episode interesting. They wasted Hinagiku & Ayumu's appearance. Hinagiku didn't even say anything at the end.
