Hayate the Combat Butler {Hayate no Gotoku!} generic discussion

[tebahpla]

I just saw ep 39, and they're saying ep 40 will be the last one.

is this true? I thought its gonna continue up to 52 episodes? whos got information about this? I need comfirmationss

[Mentar]

Naah. Episodes are already listed up to 44. Episode 40 will (hopefully) conclude the increasingly annoying "Butler Battle Tournament" arc.

[Ottocycle]

The 'last episode' that they speak of is the last of the cour, but not the last of the series.

@Mentar: The tournament continues?! I thought they were done with it after that snake died!

Highlight for spoiler.

Cour would be the American equivalent of a "season". A cour of anime is anywhere from 12 to 14 episodes of anime.

No, the new ED starts at episode 40, or atleast that's what TV Tokyo's site said.

Mind telling us what are the episode titles from episode 41 to 44? (or at least the source) thanks!

And yeah, after watching episode 40 it appears that

Spoiler:

the Butler Battle arc is over

[tebahpla]

So it's confirmed that there are more than 40..

Damn that message ("last episode") was misleading.
I got owned. trolled by the show itself.

The Syoboi calendar - the fansubbers' best friend. It's in Japanese, however. Here's the entry for Hayate:

thanks, so episode 41's title is a nod to "Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei"

didn't see the titles for episodes 42-44 though.

[Mentar]

I never claimed they were... only that the episodes were listed.

[animeotaku99]

I know I've asked this before but can you guys release a few batches of this series, I do not have the time or resources to DL them all individually. maybe a full season or even half season per batch.
PLEASE

[Gameboiye]

Just watched the episode and....OMG Gurren Laggen parody ftw!! The animation and everything they did during that sequence was top notch and you would almost think you were watching Gurren Laggen all over again.

Favorite episode so far!!

The Ki no Me Kaze single will be released on March 19th.

Can someone rate this animu for me and your overall impression for it?

[zst]

hmm.. revisiting an old topic concerning hayate's ex-girlfriend...

Spoiler for hayate's ex-girlfriend suspects:

#suspect 1:
Could she be a younger and less mature maria?
mari-a-chan -> a-tan (tan being a chan variation)?

Considering that the conversion about hayate not "worthy" enough to have a girl friend due to financial reasons at that young age does not really reflect a "rich spoilt girl".. more likely, it reflects a "mature" girl who knows about some of the difficulties of the world and is more aware of such concerns. A rich girl wouldn't mind anyway since she herself is already rich. but maria, although adopted by the patriach, is aware of her orphan status, would be likely to say such things when young (though the stuff she talks about would be stuff more appropriate for an adult)

#suspect 2: hina
hin-a-chan -> a-tan (tan being a chan variation)?

Similar reasons with that for maria. Even more than maria, hina undergoes money problem as a child when her parents abandoned her sister and her to a great debt (though still less than hayate). The kick and stuff also seems to suit her outright/frank and oft boyish manners. Only thing that made me place her as #2 is because of the art work (hmmm... anybody can find a link online to an image?). In the artwork, the girl seems older, and have slightly curly hair which seems to fit maria's profile more. Another factor to consider is that she knows the story of hayate's ex-girlfriend. Though not discounting she could have forgotten something she said when she is very young, it also sort of lower her suspect rating...

It's easier if you just download episode 1 and see for yourself. It should give you a pretty good impression of what you can expect.
