Hayate no Gotoku! Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Taking place one month after the events that occurred in the movie Heaven is a Place on Earth. Living at the Sanzenin Mansion once again, Nagi returns to her old ways of life, until she receives word from American authorities informing her that she has a week to pick up her late father's belongings that was indefinitely delayed due to various circumstances. After receiving news of her father whom she doesn't remember, Nagi then meets a mysterious girl (with a hidden agenda) claiming to be Nagi's little sister.

The series tells a new story that is original to the anime and not directly based on the manga. The main author of the original series Kenjiro Hata personally created the original concept for the story of this anime.

As you all know, the series of Hayate no Gotoku have been quite long and VERY random. However, once you start to watch this season of Hayate no Gotoku, then you really will enjoy it after all. The story line is completely different from the rest of the series. You could say it's a off-topic storyline to give the anime a new kick to it. In the end of this anime, it really is quite touching to see what happens. Majority of people think that anime's like this are boring because of it's parody, but really, watch till the end ... and you will change your mind. The funny thing about the art concept is, that.... It's really different despite the fact that the author took control of this season. What I mean by funny is that, by the end of this anime, the art is EXACTLY the same as the first two season, and I started to laugh about this. Character development is quite different from what I expected, there are new characters in this season, and the way these characters act are completely different from the series. All the people in the old 2 series that were almost on EVERY episode, here well, they barely show up other than Maria, Nagi, and Ayasaki. Overall for this anime to me personally, I would give it a 10, and I recommend this season for all viewers to watch, and truly understand Romance anime's. (P.S. I am curious but... I wonder what Maria's last name, unless this is her last name.)

Mixed Feelings

This just me ranting off another series I watched a while ago, but yes so what, I really can't take my raging eyes off this series...

Quoting Sanzenin Nagi episode 4: "Don't lump me, sanzenin nagi, with your typical otaku. Whether it's a video game, anime or manga, I'll only rate it after I've played, watched, or read the entire thing! Even though I might initially think, 'Whoa, talk about a total letdown!' "

I can't believe it says so much about this series in just a simple dialogue. If any of you have read the manga, and especially if you watched the previous Hayate no gotoku ... season 1 and 2 (HnG), it is more than probable that you'll be thoroughly disappointed with this series (Can't take my eyes off you!).

What this series does is like adding barbeque meat and sauce to strawberry sundae. Use the good ingredients in the absolutely wrong places. That's a recipe for disaster.

Hayate no gotoku used to be quirkly, parodical spoof of spoofs with a midly serious storyline emerging and disappearing. But the new series totally forgot its essence and started taking itself too seriously from the get go. The art, the music, the plot, the characters everything became annoyingly serious and seriously annoying. I am not saying that there are no jokes, which there are plenty. But that weird, quirky plotline where you never know what might happen next and everything may just be grand parody is gone. Just look at the first episode of this series and the original one, and you will know.

----------

The story obviously cannot be same with the original series so it has been changed, drastically, with equally drastic consequences. Before you even know what happened in the past you take a time leap into the present. It's like showing you the last episode of code geass R2 and expecting you to weep. Seriously?!

The plotline is poorly executed with neither, the present nor the past getting enough of its share in a paltry 12 episodes. The laughs and gags are fewer than before, the characters cannot be developed, because they already have in the past (original series). The side characters are even thrown about haphazardly. It is poorly thought, stupidly executed series with no basis whatsoever except, maybe, spoiling the manga plotline a bit.

The art has been botched up in totally wrong direction. Can you expect to laugh at a seriously drawn and more realistic character? The background got a CG makeover, the characters all started looking serious, and even the tiger looks more real!!

The soundtracks are good. They are so good and serious that the series starts looking like a serious drama. Again, they are great to listen to but not suited to great comedy.

The only things i liked in this series are Hinagiku and Nagi's father. And so many clocks.

And I have still watched it. And held my head in frustration.

----------

Bottomline. If you are a fan of the fun in the original manga/series, better avoid this.
For hardcore fans and sarcastic comrades, oh you will love this! maybe.

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

When i saw randomly surfing the web that Hayate season 3 came out i was happy and delighted .
But after reading that this not continueation but more of different story i was shocked . The story became more of RANDOM SH*T Art became slightly worse sound well became a little better character from one point better from other worser but mainly Hayate(only character not Anime) changed to the better . I don't enjoy watching this rubbish but i will for i don't wan't to read manga. I guess it was disappointing to me that season 2 ended with so much mystery's well atleast ...
