| 6/10 manga story more better than this!!! |
De-JaY said: 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. word. I'm giving it a 5/10. I don't even know why. Not a single episode was good. Except for maybe the first episode and that's only because it stole the epic scene from S1. And maybe the last and only when Nagi confessed since well that's a whole underlying plot point and I can't help but like to finally see her parents plus her dad is a cool guy. A few chuckles here and there. Animation change was an immediate kill joy. Characters felt really out of place half the time. To each their own but wow if you rate this highly or think this actually compliments the Hayate universe. It's just very very average as a stand alone anime and less than that as an installment in the series. And if this is an independent story why is it marked as a sequel in the chain of seasons instead of marking it as an "other"...since this isn't exactly a sequel to S2, it just happens to occur after S2. |

| A rather good ending to a mediocre Hayate series which was highly anticipated yet turned out to be quite the unwanted (NOT) season 3. I hope they go back to the original plot in the manga and no more side seasons. The news of a new season excites me, but if it turns out to be something like this, I will be disappointed again. Well, I will keep my expectations low for the coming season for now. :/ Since it's Hayate, I cannot give it under 7. My past love for it simply won't allow. :( 7/10. |

| Pretty good. I don't get why people are bitching about the artwork so much though. Dat engrish lol |
| This and the previous episode really raised the enjoyment factor compared to the early half on the season. The airborne confession was lovely and her relationship with Hayate is really pure. Enjoyed the snippets of English from the robbers too. Absolutely adored the OP and ED, I often watch them multiple times per episode. This was my first viewing in the Hayate no Gotoku! series so of course I felt a little lost at some of the plot points. Without reading spoilers, I wasn't sure how Ruka tied into all of this (not that it mattered, all her songs are great) and was confused with characters having powers like explosive talismans and swords. The plot was pretty ridiculous at times but I didn't come here for that. Loved Tsugumi and Nagi. Both their sense of fashion is top tier. My fondness is especially towards Nagi, probably due to her determination to play all video games in one sitting while sacrificing personal hygiene. Such strong willpower! Although I hardly laughed at the jokes, this series has a certain warmth to it that keeps me coming back. 5/10. I've heard good things about its previous seasons so I'm very excited to start them soon. And with a new season confirmed for 2013, I think it's great time to be a fan of Hayate no Gotoku! |
| Besides some artwork derp here and there, it's actually not that bad. will recognize as part of Hayate franchise. 6/10 |

| What an amazing ending! Really loved every last bit of it, finally... finally Nagi managed to say that she loves Hayate! Really amazing that we also got to see the father from Nagi! It was just beautiful and with amazing action! Really loved this short but awesome sequel of Hayate no Gotoku! 9/10 |
 |
| The ending was really nice and incredibly enjoyable, but I still can't forgive the rest of the series based on just this ending. I'm not even bothered by the fact that this series tried to be more serious too, but the fact that it didn't do that well as a serious anime in comparison to how great it use to be at comedy, I can only frown upon it. 5/10 |
| Well, I admit it definitely wasn't the best HnG anime so far, but heck, the last couple of episodes proved that Hata had an interesting story going behind the scenes all this time. The Black Camelia "exchanging souls" business really tied up all the stuff we've been fed throughout the whole anime which seemed random - the story of Nagi's father, the villain's motivations, the Tsugumi mystery... If the beginning of the anime hinted at how good the story behind it all is, I think it could be more interesting all throughout. As is, it's still interesting, just with fillers and stuff that seems like fillers. At least we got to finally see how Nagi's father looked like (so far we've seen flashbacks with just a similar-to-Hayate silhouette). All in all, the manga is better as usual, but HnG stays one of my favs. |

TheMooseIsLoose said: I'm still curious about Hayate's brother, I did try to read the manga but I don't know which chapter to start. I don't care about fillers I just don't want to read the same stuff that happened in the manga. Season 2 ended around chapter 148. |

| I prefer the comedic Hayate no Gotoku! better. |

| I was horribly disappointed by this 3rd season, nothing's like Hayate no Gotoku should be. I've rarely been disappointed this badly by any anime so far, 3/10 HNG is supposed to be funny but I couldn't laugh a single time during these 12 episodes. All the new characters that were introduced were annoying. The whole plot and how the characters were tied to each other through it were so random that it seemed as if Hata was just trying to put as much twists and new stuff into the series as he possibly could within the time limit of 12 episodes. I didn't like the 'serious' parts in the first two seasons either, so it's a given I didn't like the 3rd season. Only Nagi and Hayate seemed to be somewhat how they are supposed to be, the other regulars acted either completely differently from how I'm used to or their characteristics were increased to a stupidly ridiculous level. Demons, Las Vegas, magic? This is not the HNG I know =( Give me my old Hayate no Gotoku back! D: And of course there's the horrible art style too, but that's up to debate... Though I'm pretty sure most people agree with me when I say that the old style was much better. 3/5 for this episode. |
 |
| Although this was decent, it was definitely not good enough to have the title of Hayate no Gotoku attached to it. I would've probably liked it better as a standalone with a more serious art style and just a lot more seriousness attached to it. I'm extremely disappointed with this, I hope the original series will get a true sequel instead of this nonsense. 7/10, because as standalone it wasn't that bad. EDIT: I also forgot to mention that Ruka was almost entire unused, and what was up with all the stuff with the apple in the OP and during Ruka's scenes. Building up stuff that has never been used? |

jenchiuk said: babler said: 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. 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. Is this show actually canon material? It was so poorly made I assumed it was just made up by anime producers using the Hayate cast. |
| The ending was okay, but it's a shame imo that this season didn't live up to the awesomeness of it's predecessors. The whole series was mediocre, at best. Gave it a 7 out of 10 instead of a 6 or 5 because I love this franchise, and the animation is beautiful (minus the character designs ofc). |
| This show definitely does not deserve a MAL score of 7, especially when so many garbage anime out there are higher than a 7. I think too many people became butt hurt that their beloved HnG has been remade and altered. So, in response they lash about by giving a clearly unjustified low score. I on the other hand rate it as a stand alone anime that borrows the cast from a popular show, and in the end, it turns out it was executed fairly well. The plot for me shaped up really well near the end. It was well thought out and definitely exciting to watch. Nagi's dad is such a cool guy, and I'm glad there was a little father-daughter love at the end. Seeing him cross dress was a bit weird, haha. Unlike Hayate, he actually has a manly figure, so it was alarming. Nonetheless, I gave this an 8, in spite that I think it was 'good' and not 'very good'. But, it's my attempt to boost the score, if even a little bit. I can afford to do so every once in awhile. ;) Of course it won't move the needle, but this anime is as good as the previous seasons, if not better. It just does so in a different way -- in its own unique way. I can see why the author acknowledges this adaption (see ch. 400). |

| Didn't understand what some people disliked about the season :O I enjoyed it. |
 |
| Well it wasn't bad ill give it a 7 |
 |
| It started kinda weak but the ending compensated for it.. If you're a fan of HnG and had already read the manga, you'll like this.. 8/10 for me.. |
| Keep moving forward |
| 3rd Season? lol. Hayate The Combat Butler: CTMEOY I'm very dissapointed. The comedy, the art. The previous TV Series is better. The plot is quite interesting though, but still. Sorry, it wasn't good enough. 3/10 |
| So I kept running without knowledge about some characters. Disappointment after movie is gone, BD graphic improved, story had nice conclusion. It's still not the same as previous seasons, but I'm pleased 7/10. |
 |
| Disappointed in this season! I was on a HnG marathon this late last month to now and starting with season 1. Upon watching season 3, I was very much bewildered on what was going on. The characters significance was greatly altered. Main characters weren't getting much screen time, the characters' roles have changed, character designs have been drastically adjusted and the HnG "feel" just wasn't as evident as compared to previous seasons. Whatever happened to the mysterious narrator? Tama? The other cat, Shiranui? Wataru, his maid and the video rental and why is it now a manga shop? Season 2 was obviously the pinnacle of the franchise - enjoyed every episode of it. This season was partial garbage in my opinion. I'm somewhat frightened to proceed to Season 4, but I guess gotta finish what I've started. 4/10 |

| CCC, i didnt expect it will turn like this. The last few episodes were interesting but i wanted a comedy i saw in first two season. Tama nor narator didnt get a single line in this season, they were hilarious before :( |

| That was definitely interesting.....My favorite is still second season and the movie, but this had it's own charm 8/10 |
 |
| The humor portions were generally fairly funny, and I dug when we finally got into the real Black Camellia arc. Of course the pinnacle of bad luck for Yukiji would be to win a massive amount of cash and then have it almost immediately stolen knowing that it could have been hers. |
 |
| Finally the producer make her parents story and now their story at the climax.. But sadly her father must die :'( I was thinking it's a bit like naruto's father story Well it was a happy ending |
 |
| Dont know what to say anymore, the ending was fine, but this whole season was...unsatisfying I didn't like the Animation, it wasn't funny and the supernatural part is/was cringe |
 |
| I watched the dub so my view is based on the dubs. After watching this I can say that I have mixed feelings.on the one hand I really did like a lot of the plot points.on the other hand there are major shifts in things like the story, animation and tone of the story. The animation is better and some of the designs are nicer too, but the voice acting often doesn't fit the better animation. A character like hinagiku comes off as mopey rather than a cool teenager I don't think that the show is bad, it's just so different than what i'm use to that it becomes distracting. I would recommend it to people as a standalone show, i think. Since I do think that it's still a great watch |
