I just saw episode 33 of Hayate no Gotoku! and I simply couldn’t resist posting this bit of Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei parody. I loved SZS so a little parody was amusing to see. I know I’m way late in relaying this news, but I’ll say it anyway… SZS will be having a second season come January 2008! I hope a sub group will stick with it through the season. I’m in so much despair with this news that I’m actually looking forward to watching it! ^_^
HnG is still showing pretty random episodes, but ep 33 is a 2-part arc on the Culture Festival at the academy. Part 2 will be ep 34. I wonder if this is some sort of sign that they’d start showing story arcs again. My coverage of HnG kinda stopped at ep 25. My summaries will resume later on, I think. Maybe I’ll just post it as a batch summary, like in batches of 5 from episode 25 to 30, and so forth… or something like that. I think I’ll get back on it when the randomness settles down a bit. It’s still funny though and I still enjoy watching it, I just can’t get myself to actually blog it episode by episode at this time.
Actually, the following line of Nagi is also reference to Kumeta-sensei. As Hata-sensei was one of Kumeta-sensei’s assistance, so he refer him as Kumeta-shishou (Master). I find it’s more funny than the actual parody to SZS.
LOL holy crap. That is awesome. I’m leaving Hayate for a big marathon later…cause I dropped it at ep 15. I might just end up checking this and the Geass parody ep at some point.
@Nai: Thanks for that bit of info! I think I might have overlooked that. I’ll be alert when I watch it again. I’m still having trouble with the girls’ names in SZS though… Lol. I tend to get them mixed up!
@Totali: I think this ep had a Geass parody too… the clothes of the butler guy who fought Hayate seems to have the same clothes as Lelouch. I didn’t really follow Geass though, so I can’t be sure. Lol. But I’m certain they made use of the Geass mecha (Lancelot, is it?) in earlier eps. =)
