THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It first showed when Nagi first met Tama eight years ago.

It's about the bond Tama and Nagi this ep.

lol~~ It was the person (Jenny) who directed Nagi in Africa that Tama was a cat, not tiger. She brought Tama along while they were chased by larger animals. Isumi also said he was a cat.

Tama got into the truck, in result of getting out and getting lost.

Shiratama helped Tama, and Hayate saved them, too.

I like how you summarized the episode, rather than sparking much of a discussion out of it. Well, I guess it's better than 1-liners.

Jenny is so awesome, I wish I could use Special Ninja Whisper Techniques... Nagi's flashback was great though, having ninjas that can bypass logic.

I don't remember Tama's voice bieng so odd though, maybe he just doesn't appear enough anymore so I forgot how he sounded like...

A nifty episode with plenty of gags and references. Also, Shiranui is pretty evil and shrewd.

This will be the last timeline posting I'll make before the final episode. Just sit back and enjoy the remaining episodes.

Ep was pretty hilarious; though I found it interesting how Tama was helped by Nagi iindirectly via 2chan when he was lost. The flashback was charming too, but Jenny was pretty bizarre. Not like that's a bad thing.

What makes Jenny interesting is how they showed through her markedly different character design that she's out of Nagi's imagination.

Funnies line, to me, though was in the previews "And he's been told by the person he loves that he's a 2D gigolo."

none of those beasts actually exist in real life, much less in the Serengeti(the place where Tama was found. a large area in Africa where your traditionally recognized African animals can be found). a bit of trivia, white tigers are actually a genetic anomaly(or mutation). they are either born in captivity, and in the wild, its rare to even see one seeing as they cant survive the wild. their white skin makes them too conspicuous for an animal that hunts by stealth.

It's nice to have an all funny episode of Hayate...much better than the love polygon that they've been serving up lately. It took 20 episodes, but I finally got one full of Tama. Now if we could cap this season off with a full Maria arc, then I'd be most happy.

I disagree with Tabrisrp too. I like all the characters in this show and I believe each of them should have some screentime of their own once in a while. Anyway, it was a nice episode, I don't understand why anyone should complain about it.

Tama! ^^ I thought Hayate was acting like Kafuka from SZS when he said that Tama was so ugly that it could only be a costume. About the Nagi influences on Tama... I wonder if my cat is influenced like that as well.

It was pretty obvious that igan3w was Nagi: turn around igan and you get Nagi and the three stands for San, the first letters of her family name. Just how did she put that huge art in that one message...

One of my favourite episodes this season. Namely due to Jenny. I haven't laughed this hard at Hayate for a while. The gun lighter. The ninja skillz. 4 years old!? Amazing.

Tama was too cute in this episode too. I missed him.

Claus also made me laugh. Them two didn't get that much screen time this season, pretty upsetting.

PU-CHAN! Brings back memories.

Oh man i wasn't going to post in these discussions but i just had to say something about that!! Not everyday when an obscure reference to an anime from 2005 that im sure noone has watched (1400 ppl only rated it) happens.

+1 for Hayate dropping Pu-Chan in the street

This episode was one of the best ones, it's been a while since I laughed like this. Jenny was super funny and looked like a retard, racist Japan.
I really liked Tama's adventure, although it didn't go very far. It was extremely entertaining.
When Hayate said it was a custom because it was such an ugly tiger every agreed on such a dry manner, damn that was funny.

Good episode, Nagi fulfilled her promise.

And with the amount of times the word Tora has been put around, someone should go watch Toradora.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.
