The best part of this episode was the preview.


The first part was on Sie... Sister and Wataru, and the second part was on Yukiji.

The first part was decent fun. Sister and Saki's interactions with Wataru is rather cute.
Siesta turned into a shotacon...( ゜д゜)

The second part was... dreadfully dull. By 20:00, I just wanted to skip and avoid hearing Yukiji scream for the last few minutes. The only thing here even worth watching was the little bit with Izumi... But the rest was boring, oh so boring.................
Even if the anime tries to make jokes over that head butler's existence, there are clearly other sub-characters that get even less appearance.


Preview: !! So the preview was the main part of today's episode! Finally back to these two (Hayate doesn't exis... count)!

Interesting episode but it look like they will tyr to cover 3 chapter next week based on the preview.

[Mentar]

Ep10 should make s_b quite happy ... Ayumu ep

[xellos2099]

It will actually be, Ayumu, Maria and Hina ep.

What a waste of half an episode. The first half was pretty good, since I don't mind Wataru (he's a pretty cool kid), but Katsura... she needs to just stop appearing.

[Serffix]

The first half was enjoyable and the sister was actually pretty cool while thrashing the car. But then the second half came and I completely lost interest. The highlight of the episode was definitely the preview. Expecting some nice upcoming episodes

Zetsubou shita! Zetsubou shita! Zetsubou shita!
I am in despair because the world where you get criticized even for closely following the original material. :P

To be fair, it's not so much that we're criticizing their ability to follow the manga closely, but rather, that the chapter the second half of the episode was modeled after sucks either way.

[Tom Bombadil]

Just joking. I am quite amused how that point made by Zetsubou sensei fits the current situation perfectly.

As pointed out by others, the second half of the episode goes nowhere.

[Mecha_Trueno]

From the last scene, I sense more Maria-san next ep, hope I'm not wrong

[Texas84]

Kinda blah. Looking forward to more ham-a-sta (Ayumu). She has really grown on me.

[lionel23]

Yeah I have to agree that the first part of this episode was really good, nice seeing a bit of Wataru and that cute scene from the manga involving the sister. Saki feels murderous intent indeed!

The 2nd half was mildly funny, best part was the student council girls but the real big jewel of this episode was the preview for the next. They're definitely cramming a lot for the next episode! While I don't mind seeing Maria and Ayumu, there better be lots more of Hinagiku! Afterall, the title of the next episode is big for that. Does anyone else think it's possible for them to squeeze the entirety of the festival AND cover the other two guys all in one episode?

[Shiroth]

So i'm the only one that enjoys seeing over the top Katsura acting over the top?

Possibly...Personally I've never cared for her much in the least.

Still looks like Wataru is starting to collect older women like Hayate collects DFCs.

Ah poor lonely Maria though...Well ok I don't feel that bad for her seeing as if she put herself out their more she'd be beating em off with a stick...

[owq]

Imba-sista!

What are DFCs?

[kaito21]

the episode was enjoyable

Delicious Flat Chest, so yeah... Just another term for loli, really.

Basically, the 16 year-old Hayate is collecting the younger girls (Nagi and Isumi are 13; Hinagiku and Ayumu, 16; Maria is 17), while the 13 year-old Wataru is attracting the older girls such as the 21 year-old Saki.

And it's hilarious.
