Spoiler:

Hayate, Hina and Himegami fought "Gurren Lagann" oh my.

Spoiler for some screencaps:

[dodgethis_sg]

Oh Gawd Hina-yoko And Nagi-nia.

[CJL13]

So now this show has done pretty much every show I watched this year except School Days, which given Nagi's attitude is highly possible.

Well, there are Katsura, and Sa******.

[Malintex_Terek]

GURREN-LAGANN, SPIN ON!

...

Oh man, it's been so long since I've said that.

Any-hoo, it's great to see and honest-to-god GL parody in Hayate!! Such a pity Eclipse is under-handed right now, this seems to be an awesome episode we won't get to see for many weeks. :/

[tripperazn]

There's also that fantastic Eva parody of 5th Angel's demise when 姫神/Princess God (lol) dodged a laser.

Probably the best thing out of the entire episode was the preview, which confirms a return to manga storyline. I think I remember Hayate attempting to take Nagi to the beach on bike in earlier volumes.

Yeah, second volume.

Spoiler for Episode 39:

The Gurren Lagann parody was absolutely wonderful, i loved every second of it. It's pretty funny 'cause Hayate no Gotoku & Gurren Lagann are two of my fav' shows from this year, so it's nice seeing something like this.

[masama]

this episode is epic, haven't laughed this hard for a while

Guess the TTGL homages coincided with a change of animation team to one with much more dynamic movements.

Probably a nod to GL's ep 4? The homages were as close as they could get too.

Ranma 1/1 FTW.

Yeah, and i'm sure it's some guys from the Gainax team --- you can really tell with the character's battle movements.

Sure, there was Imaishi (director of GL), Amemiya, Kubota and Sadakata from Gainax and some more because of the animation director for this episode Satoshi Yamaguchi is one of Gainax young animators (actually there's a rumor that says he resigned after GL). But none the less everyone came to support him. There was also some pretty good freelance animator like Kenichi Kutsuna (who also worked on GL) that appeared and some others related to Gonzo since they produced this episode.

[Shiroth]

Wow, even Imaishi! I was expecting members from the Gainax team, but not that many --- this is quite impressive. Thanks a lot for the information manuloz.

I am an anime noob. How come I didn't think of that?
And I was wondering how the heck did they do the exact same shading techniques too, you know, the one similar to just-out-of-the-ring-Gurren-Lagann type.

Imaishi?

*Check credits*
I wonder how SynergySP got Gainax's permission for that.

A team of animators working on an episode isn't anything surprising, though this time around it makes a lot of sense, with it being a parody of the series they originally worked on.

Spoiler for Episode 39:

So Himegami is a master of...some sort of prism magic/technique? Whatever it was, it certainly looked amazing. Best episode yet and best fight scenes yet. I laughed once I realized that the snake was the final boss of the arc. I'm hoping this show gets a second season, I'd be surprised if it didn't.

Uh....no. It's an evangelion parody for the 5th Angel take down. Watch this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=J8j-Q9Dz7IU at 4:30.

Spoiler for Episode 39:

I was referring to whatever sort of in-show explanation they came up with for it (if they even bothered), as to what it was. I figure it's unusual enough (in comparison to the special techniques and abilities of other butlers) to warrant some sort of explanation.

[tebahpla]

mind if i ask whos that dude with the mask? i havent caught up with the anime yet. but i already started on it.
