That's not a laughing matter, you know... First they get rid of the narrator, then they design the characters awfully. So far the only thing that I've really liked are the short in-betweens with Ruka while she acts on the stage, but they even messed up her design... Look how she looks in the 1st episode and how in the 3rd... >_<

Yeah, count me the fuck out.
Animation was borderline awful, direction was bad, and the music was pretty crap too. I really don't care what happens at this point, maybe I'll jump back in when they tease A-Tan, otherwise I think this entire season is going down the shitter.

You know the production quality is less than stellar when the studio can't even bother animating a SD character segment properly.
Anyway, I've had it. I'd much rather sit through half a year of the first season's original content than this. Those were actually fun. This episode by itself was kind of okay, but felt utterly shoehorned for the sheer sake or it. There's virtually nothing about the Hayate anime series form both seasons that I enjoyed in this new one. I'll check back another time to see if this thing is even worth wasting time on. |

So damn confused. I enjoy the artwork just fine - a lot more than the artwork for the second season, honestly - but it's being universally panned by even non-critical people like relentless. Weird expressions like the one Chaos posted were sprinkled throughout the episode, but otherwise I thought the artwork was perfectly fine and find it strange that I'm seemingly the only person who thinks so. As I said before, pretty confused.

And I can’t really say anything about Season 2 since I’ve never watched it, but from the glimpses of some episodes, I might have to agree with you that the artwork & animation is the worst of them all.

From what I recall, this was supposed to be an anime-original script, so either the author got lazy and took some stuff from the manga after all or Manglobe really wanted to animate the manga more.

Seems obvious to me that it was moreso because Hata/Manglobe/whoever's funding this production thought that it would be necessary to pander to the former anime fanbase from the previous seasons. So rather than just continuing with whatever new storyline they thought up, they also threw in a random (or rather, not so random; this was a pretty decent chapter in the original timeline as far as Hina/Hayate's relationship and Hina's character development went) Hina chapter as a cheap attempt to appeal to previous popularity.
Although I probably would've preferred for this anime to have simply continued where the previous two seasons left off, I was still essentially fine with the idea of Hata/Manglobe and co. trying something a bit original and ambitious, if that's what they wanted to do. However, with this third episode and the mixing/muddling of chapters in the older manga timeline, it seems like they've basically thrown artistic integrity out of the window. |

But for the rest of us... There's no two ways about it- It's bad and is very distracting at times. I don't like to judge a show base on something like that, but in this case it's quite the elephant in the room and not something that can be easily ignored.

If anything, I've learned from this episode that being a HnG manga reader can be a curse and you just have to stop trying to figure out how "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" can fit into the manga. From this point onward, just treat it as some badly written fanfic.
But yeah, the art is awful. Why can't I just take my eyes of them? Last edited by teja208; 2012-10-20 at 13:49. |

The funny thing is, they could’ve avoid all this continuity issue with a very simple method: make it a flashback episode with Hayate remembering the day he went to theme park with Hina. With that, they can still make Hina as a “guess star”, keep it consistent with the manga canon, and get rid of that annoyance called Tsugumi.

Part of the issue is that we've had three different seasons that all take a very different approach with the franchise, so it's hard not to compare them. It feels a bit like the franchise is constantly rebooting itself, and if you liked a previous season you may prefer it to continue. But we obviously aren't in control, so we take what we get. (Edit: In other random but related news, the Blu-Ray solicitations reveal the show will have 12 episodes.)

I've expected as much; this is Manglobe we're talking about- since when do they do 2 cours series? EDIT: lol I stand corrected, but it's been years since they did their last 2 cour...

Interesting, each season is half as long as the previous one. First was 51, second was 25, this one is 12. At this rate, they'll stick with OVAs, because the seasons become too short for TV then.

SynergySP had the capabilities to produce 4 cours 'kids' shows like MAR and Zettai Karen Children and Beyblade. JC Staff are more Otaku-focus, and have only the ability to keep up a series for 2 cours. Manglobe is even smaller and younger than the first two.
