Hayate no Gotoku - Episode 20 Discussion / Poll

[FRS]

I just finished watching the sub, it was a fun episode, the highlight for me were:

• Nagi monologue about Hina and Hayate
• the karaoke

[S_K]

Only if that fantasy of HayatexHina would come true
Isumi appearing in the butler network caught me off guard, and is the song that they played her song because it sounded like her voice
Anyone else catch the Saint seiya reference
It's so funny how rich people don't know anything about the outside world

[Midonin]

"Get Naked". The Hissatsu Waza book is pretty clear in its words. That, and Ayumu's terrible singing were hilarious. Greatly enjoyed this episode.

that has to be a lamune parody/reference in the beginning

Somebody vector it NAO! D:

Overall I enjoyed this episode, although the lack of Hina is somewhat disturbing (oh well, we get to see an impossible Hayate/Hinagiku future courtesy of Nagi's fantasy ). I also was surprised to see Maria-san cosplaying as The Bride which gave this EP an instant +100 from me.

Amen to that. And as I see it, no pink-haired goddess in the next episode either T_T
Well, at least there was the fantasy kiss scene, worth every second of the show.

I liked episode 19 more but this one was ok

IMO due to the nunchacku that would be more a Bruce Lee in Game of Death ref.

Very enjoyable episode, even if it lacked truly brilliant jokes (I mean, most of the jokes were ok, but not among the best of the series and there weren't many that died, which is always a good thing.) Certainly the thing that made this episode so worthwhile was the evolving relationship development, particular between Nagi and Nishizawa, whose rivalry is actually quite endearing (unlike certain other "rivalries" I've seen in anime lately).

Man, Klaus has some of the funniest moments in this sometimes.

Overall, nothing really to complain about in this ep, even if it didn't really have that many jokes or push the plot all that much. Nothing special, just plain enjoyable.

Nah, I didn't think so. Just because he has a hose, doesn't make it a Lamune reference. Unless I missed something.

Another episode where I'm torn between Hina (the fantasy scene) and Maria (there's a lot of her this episode). I actually liked this episode; not having a lot of 2-sec. references that I mostly don't get helped a lot lol. XD

[Bonta Kun]

Really enjoyed this ep.

Tama's little bit in this ep I thought was just class
Maria in the karaoke box was great
and Klaus appearing out of the bookcase was just lol

and it seems like I've said before Nagi is really growing on me

[teachopvutru]

It was enjoyable but too bad there's too little Hina in this episode. Also still no progress for Hayate's Ultimate Attack, but doesn't Hayate falling off the cliff saving Nagi means he completed the Case 2 in the book? (that is, if the book has any meaning...)

[Fudce]

Nishizawa has yet again proved to me why I'm her fanboy. Her "never give up" attitude, and her honesty about her feelings towards Hayate that (as yet) none of the other girls have shown him. And she even pays for the drinks & Karaoke, when in the presence of an ultra-rich-girl.
You keep at it Hamster-chan!

I also think this stitch needs a mention for this episode

I couldn't agree more.

Nishizawa shined in this episode and that's why this is one of my favorite episodes thus far. It's also nice to know that, if things continue, she'll appear in every episode, so I'll never have to worry about her appearance.

Also, girls who can't sing are cuter. :P

I wonder if that means Ayumu won't get a character CD because it'll be so terrible that you can't listen to it

Nagi was extra cute making the heart and all before the credits.
The anime is making me into a big Nagi fan.

I'd listen to it. Bad singing has that certain charm to it. Ayumu's especially.

i was just thinking about the sunflower fields, the net, that one hat the middle girl wore, the watermelon, the "let's go catch beetles", that one fly on the tree, and the cicada bg sound...i only saw lamune one time a long time ago so i might be mistaken...btw im referring to time frame around 4 minutes

[shoehead]

This episode was pretty good. No actual Hina though
Highlights for me were:
-Nagi's fantasy about HinaxHayate
-Karaoke scenes

[Sinestra]

I am truly convienced that Maria has some type super killer style ultimate move. But its Maria and i love her to death so she do anything as far as im concerned. Does anyone know where i cant pick up a copy of Ultimate moves for dummies? Nagi's fantasy had me laughing out loud. Nagi's such a cute character when she gets all embrassed. The line she gave about playing MMO's and reading manga all summer was typical for her but what she was really thinking was that she could spend all day with Hayate that was just so damn cute, becoming a huge Nagi fan more and more every week

[suguru]

I'm impressed this episode we got an Urusei Yatsura reference (when Nagi talks about the Mendou family's son being claustrophobic). For a series that went off the air over 20 years ago, it still pops up pretty frequently.

For me Nagi's "isn't rival a word used when your levels are close to equal?" was the funniest line for the episode...poor Nishizawa picked the wrong thing to challenge Nagi on. Although if she picked cooking, I've got to think Nishizawa would win huge...
