Hayate the Combat Butler: Episode 18

August 09th, 2007 at 4:51 pm | Category: Hayate the Combat Butler

Rating: 6.8/10

Impressions:

It would have been great if this episode actually went somewhere—there’s a limit to how random a show can be before it becomes uninteresting. Sure, we got a lot of random Hinagiku-in-bikini shots and anime parodies (probably most memorable is Code Geass), but the randomness fails to convert to comedy. And there’s no character development at all unfortunately. It’s understandable being an anime-original, but I was hoping for something more like episode 10, which remains my favourite (it was an anime-original as well). That episode successfully converts all its absurdity into wonderful entertainment, and the quality is so much higher.

Like I said it before, this anime seires has too much random of comedy and most of them aren’t that interesting to me. Even though, I still watch every episode, I still prefer the series to go back to the manga’s story-line.

While I certainly enjoy Hayate no Gotoku’s wacky humor and references, this episode just seemed a bit over the top, even by Hayate standards. I agree with kenshin514, I think this is one series that seems to do much better when it sticks more closely to the original material.
