Hayate no Gotoku!! 2nd Season - 15 July 12

Maria, the runner up in the popularity contest, goes on the offense and calls out Hinagiku’s small breasts! Oh now it’s on!
I feel a bit trolled here. Where’s my hot spring episode? While I don’t mind them playing things out a bit more, I was expecting some bare shoulders and a lot of steam covering up the “goods” this week. (Hmm… wait a second, have I grown accustomed to expecting so little from hot spring fan-service episodes? T_T)

Hayate learns the harsh reality of telling a girl the truth about how she looks. “Honestly, how do I look?” is a TRAP.
It was amusing to see everyone’s reason for wanting to go to the Shimoda hot spring though. Ayumu: studies, Isumi: powers, Nagi: growth, but most of all Hinagiku wanting larger breasts. It looks like the effects of being all lovey-dovey over Hayate has finally gotten our student council president concerned about her appearance.

Ayumu looking good. Bicycles, the real way commoners travel.

Oh that train ticket won’t do you shit now Nagi. Ayumu’s not looking so dumb now is she!
The appearance of Hinagiku this week made me forgive them for faking me out with the episode title.

Episode +100 points. Hina looks better in everyday clothes…

…and is cute as hell when she’s all flustered. (queue in Yui and Ritsu) Moe~
Personally, I’m quite cautious with my finances so I can fully appreciate Hayate’s views on money. Damn ridiculously rich people! Anyway, an episode of Hayate wouldn’t be quite complete without our good ‘ol butler pulling off some crazy stuff right?

As the voice of heaven points out, don’t try this at home kids. You WILL die.

Even being run over by a truck can’t hold our butler down! Flash cool pose.

What’s wrong with this picture? Buff ramen chef in a pink apron? No, that’s not it…
At times, I still wrestle with the idea of who has the most “honest” love for Hayate. Since Nagi’s a controlling freak and Hinagiku’s been pretty dishonest with herself, Ayumu’s probably it. I mean, she’s the only one that’s actually confessed thus far, plus she plays the token childhood friend-like character. I guess this is probably why she’s my second pick among Hayate’s love candidates.

The proper way to have a picture on your cellphone. Not like that stalker-ish freak Makoto from School Days.

This probably isn’t the best way to ride a bicycle with a short skirt like that. I doubt the people behind would complain though…

Hitmen on queue. At least they were nice enough to ask which one of them is Sanzenin Nagi. You should always be courteous to others!

I LOL’d. It’s not like Ayumu didn’t ask for it.
Based on the preview, we should be getting an actual hot spring episode next week. It seems like my spunky, Kansai-ben speaking favorite Sakuya will be making an appearance too. Hurray to bare shoulders!

This scene would’ve been a million times better if it was Hina instead of Nagi. Mmm… Hina…
Since episode titles don’t seem to mean much, I’m going to read literally into the next one, “Stardust Memory”, and break out some old school Gundam 0083 “Men of Destiny”. Who’s with me!?

It’s following the manga nicely I see. Always a good thing. I like this new blogging style.

Hinagiku ftw

NOT BECAUSE I HATE hinagiku or hayate no gotoku or for that matter th blogging style but the highlight of this entire article was the 0083 opening because i spent the wohle time watching it thinking, “WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE” (although i knew it existed i wasnt keen delving into the histroy of gundam out of order)

It was a really good episode by my point of view. It’s one of my favorite shows along with the first season. After this season ends, I will definetely going to read the manga.

Wait, “Maria … calls out Hinagiku’s small breasts”? Compared to everyone else’s, can we really call them small? >.>
As for Ayumu… “Be careful what you wish for.”
Anyway, now that she’s lost her cell phone, how is she going to afford the express train ticket back home?

Nagi isn’t a “control freak.” She honestly believes Hayate loves HER. Why wouldn’t she get jealous of any other girls? Plus, she’s /13/ for fuck’s sake. Jesus Christ, you Hinafags are the worst.

Been a while since I commented, but since “Name (required)” sorta stifled that option…
Uh, that’s precisely WHY she’s a control freak. You described it yourself. And at 13, the attachment level is kinda freaky, even if you have read the manga and know every spoiler about her.

Gundamu!~
Really like your new blogging format, Divine. Now I have to find some time to marathon the first season of HnG before this second season ends.

Is it too much to ask for Hayate x Hina?
Noz at 11:34 pm on July 12th, 2009
Name (required) practically destroyed himself with his own comment. Thats why Nagifags are the worst.

But you see… in the truck (which pass over Hayate) appears this sentence:
“SAFETY FIRST!”
