I was a huge fan of the first season of Hayate no Gotoku and was absolutely overjoyed when I learned that it was getting a second season. So, I decided I just had to do a quick post on his beach special.

Although it seems that this is indeed a special, not episode one of the new season, it was still worth the watch. I thought it was very charming and was a perfect way to kind of get re acquainted with the series after such a long break. Featuring pretty much all of the characters, if only briefly, was pretty nice. Plus, it’s a beach episode and with swimsuits in a series like this, you can’t go wrong. I loved the quote at the beginning of the episode, “Are you ready to die from moe?” It was pretty fun to watch, but actually had surprisingly few moments where they did a close up or something of one of the girls which they did frequently in normal episodes of the first season. Hopefully there will be some more of those later.

I laughed incredibly hard when Hayate walked in on Ayumu talking to herself, fantasizing about what Hayate would say to her. It was a perfect scene. However, Isumi is of course still my favorite. I’m glad they had her get lost in this episode, as that’s just one of the best things about her character. But, I’ve ranted for a whole post on her, if you want to see it check out the character profiles. They did a good job at showcasing some of the unique things about the other characters too, and I’m glad they did that.
