Unfortunately you won't find the same quality in seasons 3 and onwards as you did in the first two seasons. One thing that turns people off is the visual style of the subsequent seasons but that isn't the only problem as you aptly noted. Nagi turns into a complete tsundere and it is much more unnatural compared to how she acted in the first two seasons. Personally I'd say you've finished the best of the series in the first two seasons so you shouldn't have high expectations for Cuties.

CCC, i didnt expect it will turn like this. The last few episodes were interesting but i wanted a comedy i saw in first two season. Tama nor narator didnt get a single line in this season, they were hilarious before :(

The humor portions were generally fairly funny, and I dug when we finally got into the real Black Camellia arc. Of course the pinnacle of bad luck for Yukiji would be to win a massive amount of cash and then have it almost immediately stolen knowing that it could have been hers.

Finally the producer make her parents story and now their story at the climax..
But sadly her father must die :'(
I was thinking it's a bit like naruto's father story

Well it was a happy ending

Okay, so bare with me.
I haven't seen the other seasons other then Cuties and this one.
But I really dislike how a slice of life/comedy turned supernatural.
It was fine how it was.
I lost interest around the 6th episode but finished anyways because I was already half way through.
If this season doesn't define plot twist, I don't know what does.
Also, why does Nagi's father look EXACTLY like Hayate but with blond hair and no cowlick? Wtf. Is that just stereotypical Butler look in Japan?

Dont know what to say anymore, the ending was fine, but this whole season was...unsatisfying
I didn't like the Animation, it wasn't funny and the supernatural part is/was cringe

This nagi version is kind of irritating, she's more better in season 1, i can only gave it 7/10 they change a lot in this season and i only watch this because i want to see hayate and maria.. 😁

I watched the dub so my view is based on the dubs.

After watching this I can say that I have mixed feelings.on the one hand I really did like a lot of the plot points.on the other hand there are major shifts in things like the story, animation and tone of the story. The animation is better and some of the designs are nicer too, but the voice acting often doesn't fit the better animation. A character like hinagiku comes off as mopey rather than a cool teenager

I don't think that the show is bad, it's just so different than what i'm use to that it becomes distracting.

I would recommend it to people as a standalone show, i think. Since I do think that it's still a great watch

Very interesting season of Hayate No Gotoku, it has a very mixed reception which is obvious, I really get it.
The comedy, jokes and references are mostly kept to the first half, it's also the half that has the comedic intros by Hayate/outros.

Hayate No Gotoku rarely got as serious as it did in this season, there were some more serious moments but this season, especially its second half went more into the drama, honestly? I think they did it really well, I always really cared about these characters, especially Nagi and Hayate, so it makes sense why I cared so much.

Regardless, I still greatly missed a lot of aspects that were omitted, the narrator, the style of humor, the pacing, I did miss those things but after finishing this season I think I understand their omission, it right ave not fit the story they wanted to tell. I think this season works really well even though it clashes oddly against what came before it, I had a great time, especially with the last few episodes that were great, I wonder how Cuties stacks up.

That was good, but it's rushed. It would've been nice if there were more moments between Nagi and her dad. The plot development should've happened earlier to give it more time to finish satisfyingly. They crammed all the relevant events in the last few episodes.
