This episode was awesome, I knew Hayate and Shin had switched spots and im glad Dolly wasnt who I thought it was. Man why couldn't things be like this from the get go? I would have most likely liked this season just as much as the others if that was the case.
The shortcomings of this season were mostly on the early episodes where the comedy fell flat, the animation was inconsistent, and the directing was poor. But ever since it finally started advancing the plot in the second half most of those aspects were fixed (except the comedy) and I have genuinely started to like this season. I always had faith that at the very least Hata would be able to make a good story for this season. While his comedy is imo no longer as strong as it used to be (manga being the proof) at least we know his more serious stories are still well made.
PS: I dont care if it doesnt fit the story manglobe, but can we at least see Athena ONCE in the finale next week? Please?
