Insert genre wtf expression.

I never took Isumi's abilities seriously, but now... what? I guess we don't need a logical understanding of what'll happen next since 'magic' or 'supernatural powers' can easily be used to answer any situation now.

We need more hamster. And Isumi. And Sakuya. And Hinagiku.

Yukkyun is hot and not bad. Was looking forward since they first mention it at the beginning of the episode.

Obviously you never read or watched Hayate before. Isumi, when serious, is the most powerful character in the series.

As for supernatural aspects, there have been about, lets see, roughly twenty different plot-lines involving supernatural themes. So that isn't something new either.

I beg to differ. There's still plenty of unintroduced characters with special abilities.

How about "one of the most powerful characters" then :-).

My memory is probably worse than yours, but wasn't a large part of A___a's strength tied to her being in the secret garden and a possession factor, rather than just her native power. Given that Isumi almost defeated her even with that assistance, that would mean one on one, Isumi is stronger.
But I guess one could argue that Isumi's grandmother is more powerful.

Not that it really matters, my main point was that Isumi's powers are serious, and the supernatural aspect to the show isn't something new or ancillary, but a main part of the series. I think we can both agree to this, even if we quibble about relative strengths.

Yup, I'll accept "one of the most powerful" :D

I'm really not sure...

I just have one question. W-H-O T-H-E H-E-C-K W-A-S A-T T-H-E E-N-D? O_O and I mean mean broken like that. Cause I am shaking with how the setup with Isumi at the end was.

Put it this way,

is very very worrying for me along BIRDMAN! Add to him black feathers bad luck.

I think that with this episode clearly...


And for another part, the episode was great but I wish they stop copying scenes that have already appeared in the manga, but this season is at last for now better than I expected, I hope that Hata continue surprising the fans with his work.

And when we can finally see the plot clearing up , we see a bird ... A FREAKIN BIRDMAN . LOLOL .with wings . dayum .

Seems like Ruri doesnt even know why shes ordered to retrieve the Kurotsubaki . And it also seems like she's indebted to the Birdman in some way ? prolly was raised by him when she was all alone .


And looking at the first ep , seems like Nagi was able to obtain the Kurotsubaki .But in return she lost Hayate , her butler . OR it was Hayate that was able to obtain the item .

And seems like the end point of this anime is Ruka's concert in Las Vegas .Where things get deeper in a sense .

A good episode .The puzzles are slowly coming into pieces .

The quiz sequence was just brilliant.

This episode can be summed up in one name: ISUMI. Crouching Moron Hidden Badass at its best, that's what she is, and she's the ten out of ten in both of these roles. Frankly, I was stunned it was her who got the tricky question right.

I guess the second part of the season will be more plot-oriented, just like the first one was pretty random.

Indeed, what the hell just happened. It feels like I'm watching another show entirely.
I'm not used to this and although it's not bad I just can't take it serious, I expected Hayate to use some of his super action mega butler skills but instead this is taking the serious route with a lot of plot.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

That sure was a great part in the story development, damn I wonder who's actually behind it and why they want it so badly. Lets find out in the next episodes!

Great and funny episode either way! Though I still wonder what the story telling girl has to do with this all.

00:44 I love Nagi's mom! She knows how to make a show enjoyable. Actually, I want to see her naked from top to bottom! hehe
04:13 Even Touhou got referenced. That's cool!
07:07 Damn, that just goes to show how f*cking big USA is. An entire region between Tokyo and India could fit within it.

My fear of heights is as bad as Hinagiku, but I can ride a plane just fine. However, I can't stand the long hours of just sitting there and doing nothing.
Glad to see Hinagiku & Isumi. They are both so beautiful!
