This episode wins! Hinagiku ftw~

We get a new op/ed this time. The op is Kotoko so its good but not as good as the first one. And the ed it okay. The superindentant and her butler are hilarious. This battle is gonna be good. I loved how they followed the Law of Flimsy Incognition "Simply changing into a costume or wearing a teensy mask can make you utterly unrecognizable to even your closest friends and relatives." at the end. Cant wait to see the next episode.

Some Hinagiku screenshots~

This episode was great. So many references as usual but my ultimate favourite is Hinagiku as Utena, OMG that was freaking awesome (Hinagiku pulls off an amazing Utena with the classic Utena outfit and that pink hair of hers XD)! Oh yeah, and I can't wait to find out who that mysterious masked butler and tiger are oOo (ROFLMAO)!

Righty-o! New fresh start episode is flat out awesome awesome. Thanks to the Butler Tournament, we get to real battles with the familiar characters. Especially Hinagiku vs. Nonohara...



The amusement meter is still on the high. New addition yuri superintended is interesting. Hayate will have lots of fights after this.

Btw guys, ANN listed the new ending song "Chasse" is sung by Kaori Utatsuki. Is she KOTOKO? Because in the credit, they credit her under KOTOKO. That said, the new OP-ED are great. Looks like some newer songs are starting to have emoticons in it. (O_O;) Looking forward to the next episode!

Haha, I laughed when I saw Nagi's fireball. xD

Was a great episode, Hina rocked so freaking much - she was great. I like the new OP a lot, more than the first one since it's a bit more complex. The ED is nice too. Looking forward to "Black Hayate".

Great episode, Great opening but the ending is a little bit too much summer-feeling..
I'm wondering, is the title of the next episode ("Black Hayate") a reference to FMA?

Uh, I think the new ep/ending are much worse than the previous ones (the previous op/ending were awful as well). It was a good but not a great episode, but the next one looks promising with the... Mystery Butler xD

LOL at DBZ references, as well as "who wants to be a millionare" part, i laughed so hard xD
Black hayate makes me think of busou renkin for some reason, i think there was a reference to bleach somewhere, hina moving fast, and then hitting xD
superb OP and ED, as expected from KOTOKO (ending idunno)

Damn I'm a bit late to watch this, that said, OP/ED was kinda good too, cant really compare it to the previous ones but hey, KOTOKO pwnz, thats a fact ;p
Man, Nagi's fireball flukey was hillarious, and I'm glad Hinagiku had more screen time, and Masked Tiger and Old man was funny also.
Black Hayate, hayaku koi!!

I was loling so much at this! SO true too, the enemies are always so dam predictable.

And this is really reminding me of Flame of Recca, hopefully they reference that a few times as well.

OMG THE NEW OP IS REALLY GOOD. It's been growing on me since I first heard it, its actually hella.

I like the new OP, haven't quite gone accustomed to it yet though... :p
Meh ep, I liked it better when the "combat butler" within Hayate wasn't explicitly justified. Also, too much organized plot, there needs to be more randomness.

That was one superintendent that I don't want to involved with. And more screen time for Hinagiku in this episode (YAY!!)

Another bad filler episode, and yet more evidence that making references to other, better anime is not a substitute for actual jokes or, well, anything.
