| oh god...the art...i kept staring at nagi´s and the other characters' ballon head....thaat and hinagiku´s sleeping face...WTH! letting the art aside... i actually felt the same laugther inside my head when ruri asked, what manga should i read first? god, how have i enjoyed taking normal people that cared about studing and making usefull things into otakus after hearing that question XD and yeah, otakus can discuse that way, actually, we do it all the time, and its always fun to do so, comparing plots, art, enjoyment its really nice and i hope i could say the same about games anime and manga like nagi, only after completing them you can really call them crap, but i disagree...some are just crap since the begining, and some get worst, but well, there aren't that many actually XD this kinda silly things are the why i love hayate no gotoku(tou i prefer the manga) |

| Guys, I know things are a bit slow now, but I have a feeling it will get interesting really soon. Just give it some time. They are building up the plot little by little. Hayate no Gotoku as a whole changed a lot over time. The classic "happy-go-lucky" period, full of parodies and craziness ended a LONG time ago. You can't expect the series to be the same it was 3 or 5 years ago. Things changed. Comedy isn't the main thing anymore. You may or may not like that, but that's how it is. It has been like this ever since the driving plot behind the series was presented to the manga readers a few years ago. And now, it's time for the anime fans to experience that transition. They actually seem to be warming up for something even bigger. This not the whole thing. At least not yet, so have a little bit of faith on the production staff. Chances are that this turns to be as important as the Golden Week arc. And if you remember well, even the Athena saga was full of fillers. Just saying. |

Ya......not happening, let me tell you something from someone who has clearly seen more anime than you, many series "build up things" that doesn't mean it ends up being good, many times its a lame reveal and the whole series was wasted to build it up, fact of the matter is that this season is a failure in both animation and story compared to the previous two, to even say this compares to the Athena arc is insulting. |

I said COULD be. And yeah. You are right. I barely watched 10 animes or so. =) But one thing.The name "Black Camellia" alone leaves me on alert mode. Why? Because that "thing" IS part of the Athena saga. |

| This episode kinda bores me. But I'm still glad I got some joke about anime & manga struggle there. |

melina_putri said: No, I think a lot of people that came from season 2 already knew that, because season 2 already focused a lot on the romance side and the struggle between Nishizawa, Hinagiku and Nagi for Hayate's attention. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're mad because it's just not delivering... in any front.It seems some people still thinks Hayate is gonna be comedy, after the Golden Week arc the comedy has toned down a lot in the manga itself.. Probably it's better do drop this if you're expecting comedy.. |

Probably it's better do drop this if you're expecting comedy.. That may be true but the transition was a bit slow. Poor anime only watchers will be suddenly hit by Hata's writing quality pre and post Golden Week arc so I can understand their frustration. Hell Im not sure if I can even blame Hata for this, the current manga content is WAAAY better than this right now. This is pretty much pre-hiatus levels of bad. Which reminds me why DID Hata take a break from the manga? And how come when he resumed it things suddenly got better? |

| This entire episode = the anime community in a nutshell. |
| Eh...I'm enjoying this for what it is. The art doesn't bother me one bit. |
| Oh wait... that was good. Nilvius said: This entire episode = the anime community in a nutshell. I knew I would find an image like that here after watching that scene. lol Hata really know how anime fans are. |
| This was actually a good episode, and, if you have noticed, character design is changed a little. When they said ''first manga'',I started smiling. |
| aww~ Tsugumi is so cute :3 anyway.. who's the singer that keeps appearing in the show and talks about random stuffs? |
| Good episode. Ruri fit perfectly as Nagi's sister. The proof is the manga she chose at the end. |
 |
| Damn, they spoiled a few animes in this episode. I kinda wtf'd at it, but thankfully I watched one of them and don't remember the other titles they brought up. :P Nilvius said: This entire episode = the anime community in a nutshell. Too fucking true lol. |
| I really enjoyed this episode, maybe because of the Dragon Quest ad Ys references. Preety funny as well. I the animation as not bad as it was last week so it didn't distract me. The interlude was funny, I'm glad to see Sakuya back. |
| I feel like this show was making fun of me. |
| that was quite good. but I don't really know all about old anime manga stuff so I don't at least Hayate mentioned Madoka Magica and Pinky Momo - the only ones I know from that many references. kinda makes me feel better... haha |
artists have the power of imagination, and the ability to unleash it!  |
| Funny Episode. Those spoilers about serie'ss ends... Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza |
Nilvius said: This entire episode = the anime community in a nutshell. I'm going to be incredibly original and agree. Although I do not know what 4chan is. I'm surprised how people bash this anime so much... I guess for you out there the art is very important huh. For me it's just "good art, all the better, worse art - shut up and enjoy the comedy and the story". And I expect a nice story in this one. Also, no Hinagiku this episode. I wish so hard for the previous (fanservice filler) episode to have been her only appearance in the season. So far it doesn't seem like she's going to get involved in the story, great! |

eworm said: the art is very important huh. For me it's just "good art, all the better, worse art - shut up and enjoy the comedy and the story". And I expect a nice story in this one. Of course it is very important. Anime is after all a medium built on its visuals. Good art can drastically enhance or diminish the atmosphere that accompanies the story or jokes. For good examples of art enhancing the scenes, see 5cm/s or any Makoto Shinkai's works or for bad examples, look at what's been done with Minami-ke S2. Besides, for me, part of the disappointing thing about this series is not so much about the art itself, but that studio Manglobe can and has been shown to be able to do better, e.g. Kami nomi zo has pretty good art. |

Nagi shall pwn them all ! but honestly , the story is quite slow paced for a 12 episode anime .they should speed this up in the next episodes . And that 'kurotsubaki' is a sword right ? |

| Great episode, I really enjoyed this one. I don't really have a lot to say, but I wonder what Tsugumi's motive is. And I want to know who the girl at the ending of the second season was, but we probably won't get to that in this season. kenshin_sama said: Damn, they spoiled a few animes in this episode. I kinda wtf'd at it, but thankfully I watched one of them and don't remember the other titles they brought up. :P I didn't finish Madoka yet, I watched the TV version on ep 1 and stalled it after that due to not having enough time. I'm planning to watch the BD version soon though. Perhaps they were talking about an other Madoka though. Nilvius said: This entire episode = the anime community in a nutshell.

Irony is one harsh, harsh mistress. |
| i thought wataru's shop is a video rental.. now it became a manga store.. |

HauntingShock said: battleknight45 said: i thought wataru's shop is a video rental.. now it became a manga store.. A lot happened. in the manga. It doesn't really matter anyway since this one is supposed to be an alternate continuity of some sort. |
| Wataru's shop was a video rental shop right? Why is it a manga store now? Did I miss some changes from the manga.? :? |
HauntingShock said: battleknight45 said: i thought wataru's shop is a video rental.. now it became a manga store.. A lot happened. in the manga. Wait, when was that happened? |
 |
| Haha, great discussions about video games, anime and manga. I agree with Nagi's rule about not judging a product before completing it though. |
| what happened to chiharu's character... did i miss a whole series? from season 2 she was awesome now her character seems too... stupid |
 |
| OTAKU POWER!!! really funny episode especially when she buys everything and than seems that Nagi already has everything already and doesn't like it xD Great episode up to the next one! |
 |
| I noticed that we don't have that much "off-brand" stuff this episode, aside from Not-COD, Not-Dragon Quest, and the Nyancast (It's purring). |
 |
| 09:40 Very relatable to my current no-drop mentality. I watch and play everything to the end! I want to eat Hinagiku's steak, and she can also add herself to the menu. I'll devour her! I like Hayate's taste in anime. I like shows where the main character dies too. However, they're all classics, and I'm not in the mood to watch one yet. |
