[US DVD] Hayate the Combat Butler Part 3
 Review by Chris Beveridge
Mania Grade: C+
Quote:
In Summary:
Comedy is hard and it’s very dependent on a lot of factors. Hayate the Combat Butler just hasn’t clicked for me overall and has in fact left me pining for other comedies instead. These episodes are cute and have their moments, but it’s lacking truly likable characters for me or a situation that really works well. The setting, the wealth, the pining for an older boy by Nagi comes across as a concept by committee where they’re hauling out all the clichés and sprinkling it with pop culture references and parodies in order to be relevant or to have a “did they really do that?!” moment. It’s not bad and I can see why it’s having as good of a run as it has, but it’s cementing its position of not being a title for me as it goes on.
