I lol'd @ Maria's English when she tricked those guys. What a boss. The fight was sort of meh imo but it was nice to see the raining money as well the reunion. 6/10 this season. Could of been better.

A 5/5 finale from me.

If this season had been this good from the get go this could have potentially been one of the best this season...but alas, the first 75% of it was not that good so in the end I think 7/10 is the best I can give it even considering that im a HUGE fan of this series. It had a very rough start, but it managed to end on a high note...Hata may not be as funny as before, but he can still deliver a good story.

As disappointing as the season was overall, I really hope this is not the last we see of Hayate in anime form, I will not give up until we get Athena animated. You should give JC Staff a call Hata...

It was a happy ending, so I'm fine with it. It was a good show, it kept me entertained. Not the best show this season mind you but still, I liked it.
7.5 out of 10 overall.

I was super happy with the ending, even if the whole season wasn't the best, the last bunch of episodes made up for it.

I may have started crying at several points with Nagi's parents...

Who said that Nagi father looks exacly like Hayate?
It's probably was just Nagi imagination in the last episode thought.
Troll troll xD

Is it just me that Hayate father looks kind of a noble person?

Nagi Father cross dressing singing lmao to save Nagi. :)

Always a happy end is good.

Based on the pacing, I wonder if this season was planned as a movie except Hata script is too long to fit into a movie format they made it into a TV series instead.

This final episode was quite satisfying. All the loose ends were tied up nicely...except that masked guy, Shido. Just who is that guy?

Overall I found this series disappointing but being the HnG fan that I am, I will give it a passing mark of 5/10.

Tsugumi is also a loose end of sort, her being Nagi sister was obviously a lie (confirmed since Nagi's father having an affair was a misunderstanding), she was rised by Dolly after being abandoned (happens a lot in HnG) but who is she really?

I guess the masked guy and Tsugumi both are abandonned person without a goal in their life who got recruit by the dryad to steal the Kurotsubaki, just like the father was in the past.

Wow, Isumi's scary when mad. And good job Maria! Wow, for once the teacher chose the life over money! Wow, father sacrificed himself to get Hayate out. Seems like Hayate didn't have any bad feelings for Nagi's confession. lol @ father inside broken Kurotsubaki. lol ~ the guy's face behind the mask is an ikemen!!

In the end, Idol girl is only here for singing (with no plot whatsoever, well except for that purpose).

ED: "Here I am, Here we are" by Hayate, Nagi, and Ruka (wow, unexpected grouping!). It's nice to hear that the movie is going to air on TV, too.

Good ending. Pretty decent anime, if I do say so myself. The ending with Shin and Yukariko getting back together was so beautiful. Hayate was pretty bad ass in this episode. First thing he does when he returns is cut up Dolly. I'm really hoping for another season. I'd like to see some more speaking roles and appearances for Ruka and Izumi. Too bad Athena never appeared... Hoping to see a new season!

Definitely not the usual Hayate no Gotoku I recall but since they stuck to the manga more there's certainly a lot of things I misjudged. Perhaps I'll give the manga a try one day.

Nice ending but I didn't feel anything for it. No happiness or anger; just a blank "I finished it" kind of response. 7/10

Exactly this, still can't figure out how they would animate this over the Athena arc...its like they don't care about making money or giving the fans what they want, well with this animation perhaps its better they didn't, i want the old animation and a proper adaption of the Athena arc!

and so, ends a season which has been highly disappointing.
While the ending was good- everything seems so rushed in the final 2 episodes...which although it is the way of classic Hayate, it seems wasted given that so much time was spent on useless episodes that brought little to no plot development.

65/100 would be my final score

5/10 for me. The art was horrendous but only considering Hina and her sister's hair (dark green looked like diarrhea). Otherwise it was half decent. The story was garbage. Could have been so much more. I hardly smiled. Only about 2x did I smile the whole season. And that was when Nagi was stranded in the desert so....

All in all Manglobe please don't touch this awesome series again and leave it to JC Staff. Thank you. :D

The series as a whole is a 7/10 for me. The last episode kinda salvaged the series but it still isn't in the same level as the first two Hayate animes.

Side note: I wished that they incorporated a song number ala Hinagiku's Cruel Angel Thesis in the final episode.

In general it was a pretty good show, but definitely the worst season and I would have preferred that they animated the manga.

BTW did anyone notice during the scene when they were falling and they had the mini flashbacks, there was the scene of Nagi asking Hayate if he liked her. I don't remember that in the manga so possibly it's gonna come up later

I really didn't think I could ever sit through anything worse than chaos head. Why was this abomination made. I don't like to go into forums trashing shows I don't care about but wow, I really liked the first two seasons and then they made this. This is the worst anime I have ever watched, and it's a no contest. I was actually laughing about how ludicrous the plot is. Furthermore, since when does everyone have superpowers and shit, wtf? Isumi was the only one who ever had any kind of supernatural ability and that was more for the lulz than anything. All of a sudden Hina summons a sword and shit, what was I just watching? Also there are several points in the show where characters magically know stuff they shouldn't and the entire plot is incongruous as fuck. Animation also terrible, just awful, I mean, look at the villians with their masks and no eyeholes. One of them is even smoking a pipe through his mask rofl. Just...my god...


TLDR:
This will rest as the second anime I've ever given a 1/10.

Poor Nagi's father in the end. XD


Also, does Hayate seriously accept Nagi's confession romantically? Or maybe he's just dense as usual?


And about the series, like what others said here. The ending episode is redeeming yet most of the beginning episodes are most likely pointless. So I would say the last episodes save the series for me. So where's the another season which they should adapt the manga chapters and BY JC STAFF?

It may have been confusing if you haven't read the manga maybe.... If I didn't read the manga, I would be honest to say that this season would be extremely confusing but I managed to figure it out since I read the manga as it INDIRECTLY relates to it. I do agree with you however that it isn't as good as the first two seasons.

Animation Score: 6.5/10
Plot Score: 8/10
Overall Score: 7.25/10

A good satisifying ending but I wish they could of developed a bit more on Tsugumi and that 'Bishounen' guy as it kind of feels to be incomplete, apart from the fact that they were saved by Dolly when they were abandoned, we know nothing else... not very a memorable character people perhaps?

Nevertheless I really enjoyed the series as a whole. I guess the structure of the show could have been better as there were those random episodes in the beginning but I guess the 'random' theme works uniquely for HNG. Animation seemed a bit 'Mature' as the previous two seasons had a more shonen animation... not sure how to explain it but thats how I see it...

Overall I would give it a 8/10 because of the general entertainment despite the overal score being different it gave me but wish the orginal side characters were developed a bit more. Perhaps I would of given it a 5/10 if I didn't read the manga....?

Hope they make a season animating Athena Arc but I'm guessing that it will take half a year or even longer.

I can only quote myself and repeat what I said in an early episode's topic. Besides the names, this season had nothing in common with the 2 previous ones.

It is so unbelievable bad that I'm amazed they were allowed to finish it. There were no jokes, they stuck with the new animation and even made it worse, there were no parodies, the music was terrible (KOTOKO, where are you?), the story was unimaginative and told in a very dull way.

I want to forget about this season as soon as possible. They should've stuck to the manga material if they can't come up with a half decent original story. Even with the colored manga page on the first page of this discussion, the actual story was original, right? The idea behind it was alright, but the way they gave it form was terrible. I'm sorry for everyone who had to work on this knowing it could not live up or get close to anything that came before.

4/10, and I'm being nice. The score for this on MAL is currently at 7.08 - you guys must be out of your mind.

Wow... what a piece of crap.

This show didn't feel like Hayate no Gotoku. I watched the first two seasons and read the manga up to Volume 12 or 13 and this show didn't feel like any of this at all.
For being a 12 episode show the story didn't advance a whole lot. It was mostly really boring. This might have worked for a three episode OVA but not for a whole series.

Yes, I hate this anime. But it taught me to appreciate the old seasons, especially S1.
So that's a 3/10.

I did not like this at all, the poor ending pretty much topped off an overly poor anime original.

I'm trying my best not to compare this with their previous seasons to judge it as it is. But even that I cannot see any good thing from this series

Oh man the end of this series bumps the score from 8 to 9 easily! I will just make a simple list of what was amazing for me in this last episode.

-Nagi confessing to Hayate while having tears in mid air was KICK-ASS and that’s all I got to say along with TT_TT so much emotions. Cry me a river you could say. I really have no problems with HAYATE x NAGI FOREVER! I know some fans will be angry but Nagi when you look at it deserves Hayate the most next to the childhood friend.

-Nagi holding Hayate’s hand at the end while giving goodbyes to her mother/father.

-FINALLY! Oh finally meeting Nagi’s father and seeing his face along with composure to realize it’s his hair indeed Nagi got but I think her eyes are still mixtures of shades between both parents. However her face is for sure her mother whom in the following,

Is quite sexy as anyone can see.

– The final meeting of father/mother before their heaven’s parting to rest. That was emotional as ever.

– Isumi’s OVER 9000 attack with them orb that blew out quite a lot of light. Poor Ruri being damaged like that. I NEVER! Never would have wished for that fight but that’s the thing: MATURITY! It’s exactly what this season of Hayate was made to be.

– Might be minor but liked that Hinagiku’s sister as she literally Fs the money and claims her sister is more important. That was nice.

Once again Nagi’s whole confession was impressive but the kiss would be the final touch so they say.

I was quite happy with the fact this series of Hayate shows quite the mature tone I appreciated a lot while watching this series but most of all that I felt less kiddy. Think of S1 ~ S2 more for like 13+ year olds. While this series ups towards 16+ sensation. IMO that’s how I felt it. So yeah very tearing episode of rather happy proportions. Will miss this one TBH.

Well I want a S2 or follow up on this one! I liked the tone and difference that it impacted upon me.

It seems to me that you havent read the manga . Well , I guess Hata should had told everyone to not watch this season of HnG if they havent read the manga because they'll just get confused like you . It isnt just Isumi that had any supernatural ability .Even A-tan has it , grandpa Mikado(?) , and more I wont list since I dont want spoiling anyone that much .And I think it was showed in the previous seasons how Hina got the shirosakura and just summon it anytime . And about why those "villains" are like that , you do know that this is a comedy anime right ? ;]

And now , I gotta admit that this ending is indeed satisfying and great and it's the best episode this whole season . It really felt like the usual HnG , the atmosphere , everything .I really hope that all of the previous episodes was just like this one , because if it was , this show could had been one of the best anime this season , goddammit Manglobe .

That Shidou guy
was quite unexpected and well , off .But I guess revealing his face is a must since we're all curious as to who is behind that stupid owl costume right ? And bam , a wild bishounen appears .OF ALL THE DISGUISES THAT YOU HAVE TO PICK , WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A STUPID OWL ? Well , I guess Ruri and Shidou fanfics is being made atm right ? lol .

Badass Isumi as always , but I expected it to be much better and flashier but I guess this will do .

And Shin is so cool and epic it's just too much .
But that Shin cross dress is just... OMFG MY EYES .LOL .That's HnG for you .

But
WHAT THE HELL YOU TWO ? Why dont you realize the similarities you guys have ? Arent you guys even curious as to why ? I was waiting this whole time for Shin to say ,"Please take care of my daughter , my Hayate ..." Hayate : "ehh .waiiit ..." But I guess Hata doesnt want to show more secrets about HnG , like why Shin and Hayate is similar to each other , and such .

And that falling scene
is just perfect . I am speechless .This gives meaning to the title of this season , "I can't take my eyes of you" . I guess that color page in the manga all made sense .If only they used the same art as in the manga ...

All in all , I give this anime a score of 8/10 because of the redeeming last episodes .And if they had this quality all throughout the series , I could had given it more .And made it one of the best this season .And I could had really been satisfied if they gave a A-tan cameo , would be perfect .

AND REJOICE EVERYONE
Hayate Spring 2013
IT seems like it's the 3rd season . Yes , there's a large possibility that the Athena arc will finally be animated !!! Finally . :]]

The plot and structure for the 1st and 2nd season were actually messed up. If you haven't read the manga, I'm suprised how you were able to cope with some of the stories. If you do see season 1 and 2, I recommend you do a bit of research as the episodes are not really in chronological order...

I do agree with a lot of people that this show may have been confusing simply because it was clear that it was targeted at people who read the manga making people who haven't giving it a very hard time to understand. I suggest you either read the manga or perhaps start from scratch from the anime but you need to know when to watch which epsiodes as nearly all the episodes in season 2 are actually in the middle of season 1.

Hopefully if you do this, you will perfectly understand the next new HNG in Spring 2013
