A very strong first episode. Nagi was hilarious in this episode. Oh how I missed her otaku lifestyle. I loved how she tried to con her way to go to America just to investigate Area 51 as well as skip school. If this show is going to be canon like so many people before me have stated so that obviously means Nagi is going to regain her inheritance. Hmm that should be interesting. I wonder what happened to A-tan then. I hope she has a role to play in this season.

Hayate going berserker and chasing those kidnappers was SUGOI!!. I kinda felt sorry for the kidnappers. Im sure they'd never attempt to kidnap Nagi again. Nagi being calm as she was kidnapped and in a frantic car chase was funny.

Nagi little sister is already proving to be a promising addition to the season 3 cast. She looks like she has a key role to play this season and she is funny as well. I hope we see Hinagiku and the three bakas soon.

All in all, this was a very strong first episode that has gotten me excited for the rest of the season

Hello there, I know it's too soon to ask this, but I really don't want to waste my time, could someone tell me if this new series is better than the other two animes or if it has the potential to be better so to speak?

Season 2 is the only one that actually follows the manga, so it's my favorite. But maybe you can enjoy this one, if you aren't a manga fan.

Never seen the previous seasons before so I thought I would start with this one.

It's not bad, there were plenty of gags but I only found a small amount of them funny. Easily relatable main character and I'm liking Tsumugi so far.

I got a really bad feeling from the beginning when Hayate was sort of apologizing beforehand about how this was gonna suck (if people say that "everyone worked hard" they are really saying "we know the result is bad but bear with us").

As long as it's fun... this was kinda slow, but I guess it's for getting reacquainted with the main characters.

Original anime story, huh? Boo, I'd rather want a J.C. Staff 3rd season continuing the actual story (Athena) :-(
But well, better something than nothing.

Let's take a look at this episode:
- imho animation is ok
- humor and SD-scenes are quite good, I liked them ;-) Plus, new character is cute^^
- Lack of most of the other characters in 1st ep is no good, hope it'll be different in next eps
- Singing girl (?) was kinda strange and unnecessary, imho
- The action scene was too slow paced, imho
All in all a lot better than I feared, though it's not what I'm waiting for (a REAL 3rd season).
I'll take it an a extra story, and for that it definitely seems to be good so far ;-)

A new Hayate. And it begins very nicely.

Nagi was funny. Weird, because before the movie I never found her especially fun. But ever since then, she gets a giggle out of me quite a lot. Manglobe, what did you do?

We also get a new character with a surprising reveal at the end and several signs for a promising story. It's always nice to see Hayate's Beware The Nice Ones side, instead of his usual gentle demeanor.

But the highlight of the episode has got to be Isumi and her mum. Yes, I know it has nothing to do with the story and was just a bonus, but heck, they are always ton of fun to see.

Also praise the God for ABSOLUTELY NO HINAGIKU in this episode, not one frame of animation! Great first episode, I say great.

Though we're really building Ruka there, aren't we, Hata?

I guess I don't have anything to say in regards to content that hasn't already been said, so I'll just say that I'm having a great time so far :-)

The new hair/face ratio still struck me from time to time, but apart from that I like the art style (though J.C. Staff's will most likely remain my favorite). I've handled bigger changes in other shows.

I can't tell if the past series are better than this since we're still at episode 1. But if you want some information about the first 2 seasons of HnG:

HnG Season 1 - Pure comedy. Plenty of parodies. Some episodes followed the manga(I believe it's on the 2nd half or I don't know).

HnG Season 2 - Most of the episodes followed the manga. There's also comedy but not that much unlike season 1.

HnG Season 2 - Most of the episodes followed the manga. There's also comedy but not that much unlike season 1.
Especifically, Season 1 followed the manga until about halfway the season, although it took liberties with the dates the event took place (for example, one episode claimed it was summer and someone in the anime would point out it felt like it was spring... because technically it was supposed to be Spring if they went with the manga timeline). Season 2 followed the manga again, starting in the part where the last true manga event happenned in season 1. That's not to say season 1's second half was completely anime original (it actually took chapters from the manga on several ocassions) but all the content from the manga was shifted around weirdly and didn't make a lot of sense in context.

So, if you cut season 1 in half you can "still" call it the first season to JC Staff's season 2, because JC didn't start from the begginning.

Season 3 however is either being anime original again while retaining some events, or how some people theorize, show events from the start of the manga and AFTER the current events of the manga (which would be hard for people to corroborate as future manga events because Hata can easily change them when he writes the manga, making them invalid). It's honestly gonna be extremely confusing for a lot of people, especially those who never read the manga. And I honestly don't see why they took this route.

I think anyone who has common sense and read the manga feels the same; i have no freaken idea why they chose to animate this over the Athena arc...its like they aren't interested in making money. The Athena is what made the manga, it would be gold animated.

It's even fking lame that they used Nagi dad's death as an excuse to make the comedy.
She wants to go to the US, not because she wanted to receive her father's items, but because she wanted to visit Area 51.

It's not even funny.

Well, some can laugh at that, some not.

I found it funny since the scene was done well and Maria's and Hayate's reaction was pretty funny to me. Nagi never saw her dad ever in her life. For her, it's just some random person who never existed for her. If she jokes about her father's death, then it sure isn't something good to do, but I can understand that she doesn't feel bad joking about someone she didn't knew.
Compared to jokes and black humor in the Simpsons or South Park, this was still pretty mild ;-)

Seems like there is much more emphasis on the story compared to the 2007 series. Except for the character designs, I liked almost everything about the episode, especially the music.

Never imagined Nagi had a little sister. Looking forward to how this will progress.

I miss the awesome narrator though. x/

This has a completely different feel than the old series, I do like the new art better though.
I need to adapt my thinking a bit and should focus on the story more.

What the hell? That's it? Congrats, Manglobe, you managed to screw up one of my favorite series.
What's with that character design? Those ugly things aren't Hayate and Nagi at all. Where's Hinagiku and Nishizawa? Now they're just side characters?

Honestly, I'm deeply disappointed.
I caught myself myself laughing out loud throughout the second season. It was such a heart-felt and funny series. More importantly, it stayed true to the original story.

This third season is basically a filler series created by the author. I want to see the story developing, not some random plot about a

I have to agree except for the Hinagiku and Nishizawa bits. They really were side-characters as admitted by the author himself. The manga focused too much on Hinagiku at one point hence straying itself a little too much but in the end the main characters are Hayate and Nagi.

Not like Im saying Nagi has to be the one Hayate ends up with romantically. It merely means, in the end, the story is about Hayate and Nagi's trust and bonds. There's plenty of stories that end with the characters hooking up with a secondary character. It depends on how the author plays it out.

I don't seem to recall the manga ever mentioning it in fact. It may just be Hata trying out new ideas that may or may not be added to the manga itself.

This really failed to impress, particularly the animation. It looks godawful and the story seems really tacked on like it just doesn't fit or make sense. I don't want to judge it much after one episode, but this ep gets a 2/5. No Hina really isn't helping things either although I do <3 Nagi.

So it's just what I thought. That said Hata did add characters from the movie to the manga later, who knows, so h really may just be trying new ideas and seeing what sticks.
