Hayate no Gotoku!! (2nd Season) - Episode 25 (END) Discussion / Poll

[Nerroth]

I saw about the Gundam 00 references over on RC, and I had to tune in.


Here's hoping the note on the GN Drives has an annex for making the fake ones here on Earth - we can't all afford a return trip to Jupiter, you know!

EDIT:

Spoiler for 00:

I felt a little bit sad when I stopped to think of which voice actors were in both series, and remembered that Hayate's seiyuu is none other than she who also gave voice to my favourite lady in 00, Anew Returner.



*sighs a little*

[Mentar]

Absolutely loved the Hinaliceku in Wonderland part - especially her towering over the horder of cardboard soldiers with Masamune in her hand. Goodness ^_^

So the wait for S3 begins.

[Hell_ping]

Everyone loves Packy... In the end, Hayate has to make them himself. Why didn't he do that from the start.

GN technology in HnG world. Is Hayate going to get a gundam soon?

'Mikumiku ni Shitari Saretari'. Does Hayate even have a weakness?

And that last scene. It better not be another marketing scheme like Haruhi. Having to wait 3 years for a 'new' series

[Nochgo]

Lol, a very hayate-like episode to end the season. It was very enjoyable, and had me smiling quite a bit. Shame on you Nagi, secretly doing such things... And of course, the last segments had me wanting another season (since that was its purpose, i presume), and so I'm expecting at least of a new in a year.

We only had to wait a year between season 1 and 2 (season 1 ended March 30th 2008, season 2 began April 4th 2009), so I would expect season 3 in either the spring or fall of next year.

[xKeen]

Great episode imo.The comedy in this episode kept me smiling from the start to the end.Fanservice of hina in maid and izumi in bunny costume fulfilled my fanservice needs.
When nagi was crying,I had a little tears too..probably cause of the great voice acting orrrr I'm a big baby.

Preview of the two characters were short but I find it really funny.I hope they would introduce A-tan in the next season (If there is one)...There is another season...no? I need more HnG or I'm gonna die >.>

[DragoonKain3]

Another reference in the episode is with Captain Tsubasa, when Hayate gets saved by a soccer ball that he refers to as his 'friend'. From memory, in an incident during when he was very young, Tsubasa also survived an automobile accident because he was such good 'friends' with his ball, and the ball saved him.


Two things I particularly like is that despite their seeming animosity towards each other, Nagi and Wataru still has a cordial relationship, if only offscreen.

But of course, my favourite part would be Aa-tan's brief appearance. It's short, not one line even spoken, but hey, it's the last thing we see. Really looking forward to a third season, whenever that is.

Overall, this is the Hayate comedy we've known from the first season, but much better well done. Probably one of the reasons why it works is because its, in memory, the only episode that's specifically for it, while in the first season they just swamped you with too much of a good thing.

well, i hope that it would be next year, but, i think that it would be better to be released on 2011(either spring or fall) due to that their were only little reference for athena(on manga).

that really spoils the 2nd OP that it shows risa and hayate getting chased by an alligator but not scene on an episode. whatta JC!

Spoiler for want to hear athena's character voiced! ^^:

cant wait to see/hear athena! I wonder, who will do the character voiced for her(if their would be 3rd season realeased/news *leaked* ASAP)

...What? Either the way you're explaining this makes no sense, or you haven't read the manga. There's more than enough for another season. 90+ chapters as of now, and by spring there'd be another 20+.

Spoiler for Is a voice actor really a spoiler?:

Ayako Kawasumi. The same person who voiced her in this season. There's no reason they'd get a well known voice actress for the role and then not use her again.

[Noe]

It was a good ending.

[Game8910]

Kawasumi Ayako already proved to be a fantastic choice for Athena

[SilverLunar]

I think that episode 24 was a better fit as a final episode to me than this TBH.
Since i am only an anime watcher i was literary shocked when Hayate said that he had a brother, so i searched and read the manga chapters that involved him and the mysterious girl that appeared in the very last scene in the episode.

oh and have anyone noticed in the opening, there was a scene with Hayate and another character being attacked by a huge white alligator... I am the only one who is pissed off that this didn't happen anywhere in the anime???

Is it possible to infer from this that the 3rd season would possibly be done by JC Staff? Or maybe an even wilder guess that it is already currently in progress? Perhaps they have planned it together with Season 2, but decided to separate the later episodes into another season.

It's possible. I believe JC Staff did that with Slayers Revolution/Evolution-R. Revolution ended at the end of September, and Evolution-R (direct sequel, technically part 2 of the same season in a sense) started in January.

Or a more popular example of this would be Gundam 00 part 1 and 2.

[johnyvez15]

@GDB
so it was Ayako Kawasumi who voiced her...(I dunno that EHe! anyway tnx for that :P)
well i haven't read RAW manga(cant read) but have read translated ones so I really dont have an idea that it would reach up now up to 20+ episodes(for 90+chaps) if it gets animated.

Spoiler for just to say:

well these season ending(2nd) makes me excited on looking forward to see 3rd season(because of A-tan) ; I hope that IKU will sing an ED song on its 3rd season,just like on its first season(haven't heard her on 2nd season, really miss her voice )

HINAGIKU IN WONDERLAND!

This episode is lovely, but I have a feeling that the series are going a little too fast.

P.S She seems to be carrying the Bishamon Sword from the Onimusha series in the end. And there is quite a number of G00 references.

[kniteowl]

Ah.... I CAN'T WAIT... unless I hear an announcement date soon, I'll go read the manga, I MUST KNOW MORE ABOUT Hayate's Brother & his ex-girlfriend (Mystery girl).

Right after I study for my exams lmao...

Man that tease at the end is killer... now I have 3 shows that I can't wait for next season, Hayate, Haruhi and Spice & Wolf... probably Saki but it'll be ages before Saki has 2nd season... I"m guessing 3 years lol.

[JaLooNz]

Hopes it continues airing tomorrow! (Or izzit Saturday?)

Er... that's clearly Masamune she is wielding. But yes to the rest, many G00 references.
