An awesome Hina episode! not the best but it's really good to see her again :3

Anyone still remember the episode when Hayate got kicked out by Nagi (because he showed no reaction after seeing Nagi's body) and he went to stay with Hina? the memories... I shall watch that episode again!! xD

we have a very nice Hina ED too ^^

Love it very much! Hina is the best!!

Everyone seems to only like J.C Staff's art. I personally prefer SynergySP's art. J.C. Staff's colour palette is too damned over saturated.

Gotta say that JC Staff>Manglobe on this one. Strange since they did Ergo Proxy and their adaptation of TWGOK is superb.

That art was hideous. Not only with Hinagiku, with Hayate too.

And please, remove that annoying "sister" of Nagi. Her voice, her attitude, everything about her is ruining the show in many ways.

But, if we ignore the art and that annoying sister this episode was great. Not a fan of Hayate x Hinagiku but I liked this episode.

It was a nice episode overall, but Manglobe's atrocious art and animation almost ruined it for me. I didn't like the character art in the first place, but it looks like it's getting worse with each new episode.

Compared to this, J.C. Staff's art was amazing (and I really liked their style already).

hinagiku made this ep a 5/5 for me, i felt that a lot of things were lacking in this episode

i don't really care much about the new artwork, its not great but it isn't entirely bad either, i like it that they gave hina back her feline eyes that she originally had but i still liked the old artwork and the new one feels a bit off, she's got the same pink hair and personality but it feels like im seeing her for the first time

but i like the way they grew her hair in a way, it sort of reflects the fact that she is ageing

the thing that im worried about is that they are gonna toss hina aside after this episode, hina was originally a supporting character but i loved it when she was a main in the last season

Good episode...it's a good series overall, sure...except for one thing.

This series is original, unrelated to the manga...THEN WHY DOES IT USE PLOTS DIRECTLY FROM THE MANGA? (check chapters 162~164, volume 16)

I hope they have some more original plot lines starting next week...

EDIT: Btw, you can find out what Hinagiku told Hayate at the end by reading the last few pages of chapter 164.


i guess they wanted touse their old content because they might not even animate it when an actual season of HnG comes out and maybe to also please us manga readers who actually knew what she said at the end, it was adapted quite nicely but it still lacked that certain something that the manga had, but i can't quite put my finger on it....

Not as funny as the first season. Not as endearing as the second season.
For an anime based on the strength of its character interactions, this third season is surprisingly very bland.
Animation and facial features are all over the place.

It hurts how terrible this third installment has been so far.

Ewww.... this art style really ruined Hinagiku. I enjoyed this much less than I would have. I know that a full out romance confession will never happen in HNG but that lead on made me rage despite knowing how futile it is.

I like the seriousness of this season, but there are not a lot of references and not much comedy.
I got used to the art but Hinagiku's art was just weird, her sleeping face isn't even cute but scary.
I really hope this gets better soon.

Where's the narrator? He was an awesome part of the cast.

I cannot complain much about the art. Maybe it's just their style. Check out windy tales.

At least they got Hina's character correct. Best episode so far at least there is some direction to it. I'm just glad to se Hina again.

Ruri is like a moe version of that crappy neighbor character from Minami-ke 2.

Guess this season is neither post manga nor completely original, it will be some weird mix and might end teasing Athena again... but what's up with all the 3deep5me Ruka?

Oh look, a manga adaptation. Sort of. They even got the donkey ears. Still, an episode revolving around Hinagiku is kinda bad by default, so yeah. Let me just enjoy my Isumi nonsense, the highlight of the episode.

Gosh, how I hate her!

No one mentioned how annoying the music was. I found both the music and the art to be horrible and I feel like the story has gone down a notch (haven't read manga).

This episode was worse than the previous ones, the art was especially bad for Hina and Hayate.

Just saw the first 3 episodes. I love the voice cast and that's the main reason I am watching this.

The art style is simply unfair for Hinagiku. I expected better from Manglobe(The World God Only Knows). But it's been a long time since I watched Hayate and I have been putting off reading the manga and so I intend to use this to jump back into the main series - this time, read the manga from first and then rewatch the anime later.

Is it confirmed S3 will have only 12 episodes?

Other than seeing her face butchered a few times this episode, I could say it was okay. A few lolzy moments here and there and an entire episode dedicated to Hinagiku. ^^

Hi, new here. I loved JC's art so much. Hina looked so much better. I'm disappointed with Manglobe's production of the series :(

It's actually a nice episode..

BUT GOSH THE QUALITY!

The 3 idiots are huge at times, much much bigger and taller than Hinagiku.
The sleeping face of hers...

Manglobe.... You guys have a nice script/story

But sorry, your art really do suck!

When I first saw the film and learned it wasn't JCStaff that will be working on it I was like finally fresh ai-... until I notice the character art is no good I ended up cursing the movie. but now the 3rd season which I was pretty much looking forward to also ended up the same, What the hell did I just watch? it's screwed with the art and Hina became ET all of a sudden, heck I was looking forward to her introduction since the new season got announced but now it's all over.... HNG S3 dropped for good...

Definitely the best episode of this season so far, although Hinagiku's personality doesn't completely match how it used to be.
