Hayate the Combat Butler!! · review
The first season was an action/comedy/parody, but this one was almost straight harem romance. Which isn't a BAD thing, but it just wan't what I was expecting out of this anime. Besides the shift in genre, the other thing that bugged me was that they threw away an uncertain, but major part of the first season. I don't like major retconns at best, but when they revert a bunch of character arcs and don't really say what episodes it is retconning, it grinds my gears. On the plus side both ending songs were really good and the way thew drew thecharacters' smiling open mouths was adorable.
PROS:
-Adorable smiles
-good ending songs
-still some solid comedy
-Good character development for a few mains
CONS:
-Weird genre shift
-Bad retconning
-Still not much of a story
