* Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 Widescreen
* Resolution: 480p (720p also available)
* Series: Hayate the Combat Butler
In Summary:
With the Hot Springs Arc, we have an interesting mixture of elements at work. On the one hand, the relationship subplots that have been delved into throughout this season are furthered to an extent, with appearances by all of the major players in the "harem" of Hayate: Nagi, Hinagiku and Nishizawa. On the other hand, there is a high quotient of slapstick humor, as well as situational humor based upon the personalities of the characters. This arc so far presents a nice even balance, with the scales tilting a little more heavily on the side of humor. While the otaku reference humor is less apparent, those who have enjoyed the comedy side of Hayate the Combat Butler will likely enjoy this and the next episode to come.
