Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 30: Beautiful Young Lady Saw Great Detective! Case of Murdered Teacher ]

Insanity was what this episode was about. Nagi apparently wrote the script for this and boy was it horrible (in a funny way). I could only laugh at the ridiculous deductions, the fanservice shots and Yukiji waking up from playing dead. The butler battle was hilarious as well. I may be wrong but that was a parody of Beyblade, wasn’t it? Or was it Duel Masters? I can’t really remember but I did find it funny how they blocked out parts of Hayate’s and the other butler’s hands when they were shooting.

[ Episode 31: Do You Like Rich, Pretty Ladies? ]

This was an okay episode. I didn’t particularly like any part of it except for maybe the very end with the two boys and their gold suits. For some reason that just cracked me up along with their stupid comedy act. The Sakuya/Hayate interaction was good as well and you just gotta love the way she uses that fan of hers. ^_^

[ Episode 32: Welcome Demon Hunter Isumi, and Nabeshin ]

One thing that made this episode extra awesome for me was that I didn’t too long ago read the chapter(s) that it (minus the whole afro family part). I really loved that chapter and as such I love this episode a lot. Sakuya was great in both versions and I loved her lines, especially when that carp came looking for help and she said he could just die for being so boring lol! Isumi was also awesome as she displayed her elite exorcist powers. She also showed that she can be quite mean.

[ Episode 33: Why?! School Festival - Part One ]

Part one of this mini-arc was pretty entertaining. After all, we got to see Hinagik and Hayate team-up against the butler of the week who is voiced by Fukuyama Jun. I’m quite sure he’s supposed to be a rip-off of Lelouch lol. Also, Nagi’s hypnosis is really odd as well such as her still doing and saying things she normally would but that’s what makes it funny. The end was totally random and unexpected and resulted in a manga vs. manga battle to be continued.

[ Episode 34: Why Did It Die?! School Festival - Part Two ]

This was a nice conclusion to the mini-arc. I had a feeling that Hayate and the others would win at the last moment but who knew it would’ve been so literal. Though I’m sure not many would have complained if Hayate lost, after all Hinagiku and the other student council members would have had to dress up in some rather risque maid outfits. ^^ It seems like Nagi’s old butler is around as well as he made a rather brief appearance in this episode though we still haven’t gotten to see his face. I’m still in the dark as well about his identity since the scanlations of the manga aren’t that far ahead yet.

[ Episode 35: Must See! 2007 Autumn Complete Guidebook for the Latest Trendy Date Spots for Teenagers ]

I really liked this episode. It was pure Hayate/Maria love! Seeing those two together is always great and their date was so adorable. I think their pairing is among the best along with Hayate/Hinagiku. I particularly loved the dressing scenes, the (uninterrupted) strolling, and the ferris wheel scene at the end. Their acting was also awesome when they were trying to get rid of Yukiji and the others as well.
