| haha crazy as ever, but thats why i loved hng so much <3 |
     |
| Ahh, this was a good episode. I hope the humor and flow of this episode will continue for the rest of the season X3 The nun is funny, looking forward to seeing more of her XD |
 |
| Like I said in the other discussion, this is the season that filters out the watchers who were in it just for the gags, and a few posts already prove it to me. This episode was superior to the first one, although I missed the Nishizawa chapter in the middle, AND they should have added the character's RPG specs. xD (Nagi only had 3 HP after all) I agree though, Hinagiku is way too overhyped. She is a caricature as well. The typical "perfect" character who can do everything but is a tsundere when it comes to love. She is about as cliched as the rest of the cast, and in many cases more bland than them due to being "too perfect". |
 |
| Hm.. a decent episode. The series is still missing all the great references from the first season. I also dislike that they're copying the manga 1:1. :/ |
| I dunno, the fact they are following the manga is actually something that will benefit the series in the long run. After all, go back to Season 1 and you will notice the series lost itself in the middle, with even episodes that made you kind of want to stop watching. It didn't had a direction and only the random, and sometimes seldom, comedy kept you there. Now it has something the first one completely lacked. It's actually going somewhere. But I guess adaptations will get burned regardless of what they choose. Damn if you do and damned if you don't? |

But I guess adaptations will get burned regardless of what they choose. Damn if you do and damned if you don't? My thoughts exactly. Thank you :) Oh, by the way: Hinagiku is far, faaaaaaar from perfect. And I'm not talking about her fear of heights. She can be moody, is highly irritable, and if you really p*ss her off, she can be a bit vindictive. She easily gets flustered and when it gets to her feelings, she is not very open and truthful. It's rather that her positive traits more than make up for that: Her helpfulness, her skill and capability, and the fact that you can depend on her. In a way, she is the female Hayate of the show in this aspect. And this is why I love her character so much: She is NOT perfect, she's emotionally vulnerable, and yet she's helping others SO MUCH without really getting anything in return most of the times. We'll see more of that. Very soon. |
| I actually liked the randomness of Hayate in the first season because it rang more as a parody and not a big loli pedo fest. That is up until they did that whole butler tournament outside of those little snippets at the end of the episodes (which I thougt were funny). I thought the show was pretty good up until the end, but then again, my memory is fading fast. Now it seems like this show is really serious about some of the aspects that I thought it was parodying, which kind of makes me a little cautious. |
| I actually like the randomness of this show. Not to mention the countless references and parodies which will make you laugh. There's even romantic events here too! I am not sure about the story though. However, I like the show the way it is now. |

japanme32 said: Defiance said: Apparently everyone is suddenly obsessed with Hinagiku for reasons unknown to me. I don't understand the appeal of such an average character. Anyway, the episode was ok. I liked the Alexander Anderson "AMEN" reference. Me tell you why! ED is about Hinagiku so all see Hinagiku each episode even is she not in it. ED always has her. Hinagiku is the opposite to Nagi's Character and to some extent a rival.And she is just as awesome as Nagi, and she wont let hayate off easily for exploiting her weakness The ED is probably the best of Hayate at the moment can't wait till its released... Love the council 3 as backing vocals |
noteDhero said: I understand that and yes, to a point I was kinda reading the manga with a cautious yet open mind. But the manga managed to have this randomness to it without having to sacrifice direction and continuity at least in my opinion. Of course, in the end it's up to the guys doing the adaptation to capture the spirit of the series. Now it seems like this show is really serious about some of the aspects that I thought it was parodying, which kind of makes me a little cautious. |

Hopefully the anime can also maintain both, instead of falling toward either side more than the other (comedy vs arcs) <- sad, ED single comes out 5/27 TT; cmon leeks |

| I don't watch Hayate for a good storyline, it would be hard to adjust to after 52episodes that was a randomfest. Well hopefully they will get this overdone with, but if it stays this way, i will prolly drop after next episode, or just post-watch later. |
 |
| Am I really the first one to mention the Record of Lodoss War reference after watching it days late? Amazing. Anyway, I love hearing Yui Horie's voice as the weird nun. Pretty good episode overall. |

| A pity that they skipped over Tama kissing Ayumu as well as Tama vs. Sonia. |

| Alot better than episode one, lots of references. Ayumu wanting to be the example was hilarious. |
| My anime list |
| Haha at that anime freak in train. Snackers lol, nice cover. The "elf chick, the drunken teacher joins the party" was hilarious, great RPG reference this time. "Ah so you're a lolicon" ^_^ This episode is made of win |
 |

Probably because she isnt more bland than Nagi's character... she is the opposite, as she doesnt live in the same enviorment as Nagi Nishizawa is the probalby the true opposite, but then Nagi doesnt see much of a rivalry between them... (Vs the hamster) |
| Ehh.. This series still doesn't have the greatness that the last one had. I actually think I prefered the last episode. Although it was nice to see Nagi over-react when she heard a woman's voice on the other line. The animation is still really annoying though. |
| Ahaha! Anyways, I'm kinda geting used to the animation even though I still prefer the first season... XD It's getting good, only got chuckles rather than LOLs in 1st season. But I'm still anticipating for greatness. :D YUI HORIE is here!!! |
     |
| kannagi, densha otoko.. not bad. |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| Can't stand this animation anymore!! It feels lower budget. Other than that decent episode with a bit of chuckles. |
| /only watching because of Hinagiku. |
japanme32 said: Nun part was good. Nishizawa has good imagination. best part for me:  :D This episode was really funny ! ~~ Nun was the best :'D And I'm so in love with the ending theme ♥ hina hina hina ~ |
     |
| Since it doesn't look like it turn into what it was...I'll get used to it being what it is. More story elements and nuns that kill....always a plus =) |
 |
| Haha love the Hellsing reference. "AAAAMEN." Well... really doesn't look like the old HnG. Not so sure its going well. |
     |
| Loving season two!! Althoguh there aren't quite as many references I don't mind because the existence of an actual plot is great!! |
 |
| too early for a 2 part ep. IMO. good nonetheless. |
    |
| is it just me or is the a difference in color from the 1st season? it looks much more saturated |
| Maria: There's a chance of him switching to a man Nagi and Ayumu: WHAT! LOLz |
| "You cant touch that place!" LOL at Nagi misunderstanding again. This episode was full of lols! :D |
 |
| Nice episode, I'm missing some of the randomness and references though. I'm really missing "hamster" eating every episode, that was funny in HnG season 1. I'm looking forward to more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Great episode better than the first nice Dungeons & Dragons reference! And the new Character is quite interesting to the story :p |
 |
This episode was more fun. Guess Nagi appears in Hayate's dreams now. And also the Louise reference there. LOL. And, Hinagiku calling Hayate a lolicon is a bit too harsh. She is jealous of Nagi x Hayate. (One True Pair) This dungeon episode is gonna be really exciting. Also, I lost it when Isumi agreed to explore the underground maze. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Nagi is so cute with her hair put down <3 |
