Promotion video for Japanese anime series Hayate the Combat Butler! Cutie, coming soon in April 2013.

Instead of following a story arc in the manga, the anime features stories of Hayate with one of the cuties in each episode.

It’s not a direct sequel to the two previous instalments.

Read a bit of my extra thoughts from an earlier post here.

Apparently the new Hayate The Combat Butler is going to be an “original” anime yet again. The new anime features a cutie theme which focuses on a female character in each episode. Coming soon in April 2013.

It won’t be a third season as many have hope for, and seems like the anime producer has abandoned catching up with the manga plots altogether.

Personally I like Hayate for its slapstick and randomness, so I’m fine even if they decide to not follow the manga as long as it’s funny enough.

It’s unfortunate though that some of the characters won’t get a proper introduction. For example Athena who seems to pop out of nowhere.

If you never read its manga it may be a bit difficult to follow this new show. At the least you won’t enjoy it to the fullest.
