I enjoyed this season more than what I expected. Well mostly due to my very low expectations after the dismal third season.

Actual laughs, I wouldn't mind if they went with this tempo.

Found problems with the anime's improvement? If you have the power, just email your words to Hata himself.

Really, Hata? Do you think that torturing Hayate like that will make this anime popular? Well, adding with that lame jokes in it, no one in this forum says that you have class.

Once again Hina showing who is the boss. And while I'm dissapointed that this is not Golden Week arc, loli A-tan is enough to make me sit and wait every episode.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Good to see another season of this series!!!

The only thing that worries me is how much it can confuse a lot of people especially those who don't read the manga as the plot has always been inconsistent in all of the seasons in terms of chronological order but nevertheless provides a good entertainment.

Art and Music somehow looks very cheap in my opinion and I just hope and no Kotoko just seems a bit off to me. Seems to me they are somehow forcing something in but I just don't get what is going through the staff/author's mind. Seems like I'll have to watch more before I make a fixed comment about this series!!

4/5

The things that actually made CTMEOY useful is the appearance of Nagi's dad and the appearance of the Black Camelia as first (and probably only) talked about here.

I think I should go ahead and go read the manga before I watch anymore, haven't touched it in ages.

Not happy with the character design but eh, better than the previous one.

all I have to say is as someone who has watched the first two seasons and hates the shit that was season 3 I can not get into this animation style, it has completely ruined the feel of the series that the first 2 seasons brought to the table, by no means is this season bad it's just the animation that's hard to get into

These past two seasons have been 12 episodes each. Does anyone here who has read the manga honestly think that they can cram Golden Week (80+ Chapters) into 12 episodes without horribly condensing it? Not to mention they wouldn't just jump right into Golden Week. They'd probably cover Izumi's arc first.

This is the only real excuse I've got. Golden Week simply can't be animated well given 1 cour seasons.

It's called 2-cour, like what JC Staff did with Season 2

But it doesn't mean they've been given the opportunity for a 2-cour. If I was Hata and was told I was getting a 12 episode anime, I'd either turn it down or avoid doing Golden Week because there's just not enough time in 12 episodes.

Ooooh boy.

Season 1 started at the beginning of the manga and went into its own direction at chapter... I don't know which.
Season 2 retconned most of the S1 and continued following manga, stopping at around chapter 150.
Then we got a movie which is placed AHEAD of manga... considering current pace of manga, around chapter 500.
Then we get S3 (Can't Take My Eyes Off You) which is placed EVEN FURTHER ahead, even though it looks completely unrelated to rest. Chapter 800? XD
And now we have Cuties which is back at around chapter 350, leaving in dust many comedy chapters (which Hayate is about) and two excellent serious plot arcs (Golden Week and End of the World).

Still, I'm glad that Hayate's back. HnG characters are not the ones you can dismiss easily.

After four hecking months of waiting...
FINALLY!!! THE COMBAT BUTLER IS-COME-BACK-FOR-CUTIES!!!! *The Rock's comeback chant*

Okay, first of all the Hayate ep in this new season was so hilarious for me: from chasing against stray cats to as usual, girls surrounded him inside the Violet Mansion (and there's A-tan too!!!). The part when Ruka came out from the black car and...gave a DVD copy to Hayate, reminds me quite of CTMEOY's finale episode, plus the homesick part from Nagi to Kayura.

But the wackiest part of the episode was...HAYATE DESTROYED KATSURA-SENSEI'S PFP (PSP) WHILE TAKING THE EXAMS!!!!! I died laughing a lot, and finale part ft. Kayura...made him very unlucky as usual...

And!!! I almost forgot, Hermione is back in the CM segment!!~ Plus the opening by Hinagiku and the ending performed by Hayate. Looking forward for the next ep and it's Nagi's turn!

Even though they didn't animate the EOTW or Mykonos arc, it was still a decent first episode. Finally get to see A-tan (although her voice kinda bugs me and is way different from the flashback in season 2 but whatever) and the art improved a bit.

Wow ,this wasnt bad and actually a decent episode coming from the creator's of CTMEOY .A very encouraging start for this series.

Starting from the OP , it was quite nice but the abundance of Hinagiku was quite worrying .I really love Hina btw ,but it's still feeling a bit off .I know theyre just using her because she's the best character of them all ... but still...

A good introduction of our main character which is obviously Hayate , and those misfortune jokes about him never fail to give me a laugh or a smile ,even if just a lil .His routine work as a butler was nicely constructed and has already gave a reason why everyone loves him throughout the series.

A nice intro of the other characters , but A-tan suddenly appearing might be confusing for those who havent been reading the manga.But I guess she will be introduced better in her own episode , which is ep 3.

Those usual bathing pics, with no excessive skin was done nicely .Good for those screencaps as always .The usual Hayate antics ,mixed with those nice expression ,and the heavy underlying plot(which is still not hinted here) was what Hayate is really about .But I still would like a lil of a plot to be included in here ,like the one in the CTMEOY season about Nagi's father and the kurotsubaki . But I guess an episodic series wont have that much of a plot , sadly.

I enjoyed this episode , even if I already know what was going to happen sadly because I have read all of the manga .But adapting some parts of the manga wasnt that bad of a idea .But im still hoping that JC Staff,SynergySP or someone would be able to adapt the best arc of Hayate so far namely the End of the World arc , etc .

Looking at those character designs , it's quite an improvement compared to CTMEOY . Which is a big OK from me .But what still bugs me a lil was Hina being at the center of it all ,giving her the false impression that she is the main heroine of this anime .

oh and looking forward more of this anime .

I stopped reading the manga a while ago (at the Ruka arc I think), but I still pretty much know what's going on. Wasn't a bad episode, much better than the "third season", but it's still nowhere near the level of the second (or even the first). I too hope J.C. Staff will take back the rights to Hayate one day.

did i forgot who are these "new" characters and why are they living in one roof because of the disastrous last season? It was so bad that no one is willing to sub this properly.

Isumi and Sakuya = money. Hopefully they have bigger roles this season.

its the first episode so can't say much rather than so far so good...

How did they end in that old apartement?
Where is Athena come from suddenly?
And now Ruka is Hayate&Nagi's friend?

So much for someone didn't read the manga >_<

@Ray_Light: I also enjoyed Can't Take My Eyes Off You (unlike a lot of people it seems).
I think the basic story for when Cuties is set is that Nagi ended up losing her inheritance due to Hayate and so is living at that apartment place temporarily. And they decided to get some money by renting it out, with Hayate working as the official butler there. So everyone else is also living there due to various circumstances.
As for Athena, she somehow lost her "power" (resulting in her child-like appearance), and the key to regaining it is to stay with Hinagiku for at least 3 months (due to her possessing the Shirosakura sword).
And Ruka has had various meetings with Hayate (who saved her a few times) and Nagi and stuff happened and they became friends lol.

About the episode:
I lolled when Hayate lost his patience and snapped that PFP/PSP.
Nice that everyone made him dinner in the end.
Overall, it's a good start. Looking forward to Athena, Hinagiku and Ruka's episodes.

Does anyone think Nagi sounds a bit different? I can't put my finger on what it is, but there's a slightly different quality to Kugimiya Rie's voice compared to previous seasons.

14:10 I'd love to see Maria in that outfit!

Are they sleeping only a few hours a day? That's crazy. If I did that, I'd be dead by now.

I appreciate the plentiful Hinagiku scenes and fanservice as a bonus. I wish I could lick every inch of her body after that run. Hinagiku's sweaty body must taste so good!

Hayate is both unlucky and lucky at the same time. I wouldn't mind living his life, tbh.
