    When watching "Hayate the Combat Butler",
[00:06] ---
    make sure you keep the room bright
    and sit well away from the TV.

    Ma-Ma-Magical Destroy!
[00:28] ---
    My name is Britney!
[00:35] ---
    By all appearances, I'm a fine florist.
[00:40] ---
    But the truth is...
[00:43] ---
    What are you doing?!
[00:45] ---
    Hey, why are you interrupting me?!
[00:47] ---
    This will have people wondering
    what in the world is going on!
[00:50] ---
    As you can see, it's a new opening sequence.
[00:53] ---
    A new opening sequence?
[00:54] ---
    Yes, to commemorate the 44th episode,
[00:57] ---
    we have decided to animate my manga!
[01:00] ---
    Didn't we do something
    similar once before, too?
[01:03] ---
    Furthermore, starting next week,
    we'll have it properly sung by Kotoko!
[01:06] ---
    No, we won't!
[01:08] ---
    And now, please start
    the real opening sequence.
[01:10] ---
    Do you know, ladies and gentlemen?
[01:12] ---
    That a humongous mansion like
    this exists somewhere in Tokyo?
[01:17] ---
    The Miss's name is Nagi Sanzenin. And...
[01:21] ---
    Her butler's name is Hayate Ayasaki.
[01:24] ---
    They are both a bit clueless
[01:26] ---
    and both have a bit of
    the wrong idea about each other,
[01:28] ---
    but they share the immensely strong,
    loving bond between servant and mistress.
[01:34] ---
    This episode of "Hayate the
    Combat Butler" is a work of fiction
[01:36] ---
    and is in no way related
    to real people or organizations.
[01:38] ---
    It always is.

    Zettai nante shinjinai!

    No such thing as impossible!

    Mirai wa hiraku te no naka ni aru
     The future is in the open palm of my hands
[01:50] ---
    Honne o misecha make datoka
    Stuff like, showing your true feelings means defeat
[01:55] ---
    Dentaku hajiku jinsei datoka
     Or a life tapping away at a calculator

     Rather than be false to myself like that

    The Mystery of the 120
    Employment Rate (Temp.)
[03:14] ---
    What do you think? It's the completed
    version of "Magical Destroy"!
[03:17] ---
    You always tell me it's hard to understand
[03:19] ---
    so I tried making it easier.
[03:21] ---
    Um...
[03:22] ---
    Yes, yes?!
[03:23] ---
    It doesn't seem
    that different from before...
[03:27] ---
    What?!
[03:28] ---
    After I restrained my own style
[03:30] ---
    and took it upon myself to make
    revisions targeting the masses,
[03:32] ---
    are you saying it's still 
    beyond your comprehension?!
[03:34] ---
    Well, that is easy for you to say, but...
[03:36] ---
    Look here!
[03:37] ---
    The storminess of the Sea
    of Japan here represents the ferocity
[03:41] ---
    of the battle that's about to start, see?!
[03:44] ---
    "Fwahahaha, I have finally
    found you, Britney!"
[03:48] ---
    "Hm? That voice...
    Surely not! Who are you?!"
[03:51] ---
    "I have come all this way to the
    Sea of Japan to defeat you. I am..."
[03:54] ---
    "...your enemy!!!"
[03:55] ---
    "Damn it, my enemy, huh?!!"
[03:57] ---
    "Then, surely, I have
    no choice but to fight!!"
[03:59] ---
    "That's right!! You have
    no choice but to fight!!"
[04:01] ---
    "But since you call yourself my enemy...!!"
[04:03] ---
    "You must be strong!!"
[04:04] ---
    "No, I'm sorry."
[04:06] ---
    "I am not very strong!!!
    Because I am an early enemy."
[04:10] ---
    Wh-What's wrong, Maria?
[04:12] ---
    Um, is this a game of "you lose
    if you poke fun at this"?
[04:15] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[04:16] ---
    An enemy has already
    appeared on the 3rd page!
[04:18] ---
    It's a thrilling, suspenseful development!
[04:21] ---
    But he's even saying himself
    that he's not strong...
[04:24] ---
    What is this journey about anyway?
[04:26] ---
    This is interesting, Nagi.
[04:27] ---
    What?!
[04:29] ---
    Or wait, Isumi, when did you get here?!
[04:30] ---
    Ah! That's Isumi for you!
[04:33] ---
    It was so very interesting that I tried
    writing the continuation to it, too.
SIGN    Twinkle
[04:37] ---
    What?!
[04:39] ---
    "A Kitten's Life".
[04:41] ---
    "There was a kitten
    with wings flying in the sky."
[04:48] ---
    "Upon inspecting it from various angles,"
[04:52] ---
    "it turns out it was going
    at 23km per hour."
[04:56] ---
    Wow! That's incredible, Isumi!
    This is the feel I wanted!
[04:59] ---
    Right?
[05:00] ---
    Looks like they're at it again, huh?
[05:02] ---
    Oh, Sakuya. And when did you get here?
[05:04] ---
    Aren't those two incredible?
[05:06] ---
    Yes, their conversation is just
    so out there in another dimension...
[05:09] ---
    Seriously. And they understand each
    other, so it's really somethin'.
[05:12] ---
    But is it really that hard to draw a manga?
[05:15] ---
    Well, if your art is decent
    and the story is carefully told,
[05:18] ---
    you have a reasonable chance
    at winning prizes.
[05:20] ---
    Don't make problematic statements like that!
[05:24] ---
    That reminds me, you've won
    a manga award before, haven't you?
[05:28] ---
    What?!
[05:29] ---
    Wow, that's amazin'!
[05:30] ---
    I have yet to read your manga, too.
[05:33] ---
    I would like to read it as well.
[05:40] ---
    W-Well, not that I mind, but...
[05:43] ---
    "My name is Britney."
[05:45] ---
    "As you can see, I'm an energetic
    part-timer at a flower shop."
[05:48] ---
    "Normally, I'm making a mess of things,
    enticed by the scent of flowers."
SIGN    ROOOAAAARRR
[05:51] ---
    "So I'm always getting
    chewed out by the owner."
[05:53] ---
    "But enticed by the sweet scent
    of those flowers come the bad guys."
[05:58] ---
    "But it's no problem!"
[06:00] ---
    "I make short work of guys like
    that with my magic!"
[06:03] ---
    "That's right, I'm secretly a magical girl."
[06:07] ---
    "The magical girl of flowers, Britney!"
[06:11] ---
    This manga plays it so safe,
    it actually kinda ticks me off.
[06:14] ---
    And it's colored to boot.
[06:16] ---
    Plus, the art is adorable, but there is
    something unwholesome about it.
[06:20] ---
    Well, it doesn't seem
    to be very well-received.
[06:22] ---
    What do you think, Isumi?
[06:24] ---
    It feels like it is aiming
    to be popular from the start...
[06:27] ---
    What?!
[06:28] ---
    Right? With a mocking style like
    this that's pretending to curry favor,
[06:32] ---
    maybe you can fool the judges,
[06:34] ---
    but you won't be able to
    impress the true readers!
[06:38] ---
    I-I see, pardon me.
[06:40] ---
    More importantly, what happens
    in your manga after this, Nagi?
[06:43] ---
    Ah, I'm still in the middle
    of laying out the rest of it.
[06:46] ---
    How 'bout ya at least tell us the plotline?
[06:48] ---
    Yes, I agree.
[06:50] ---
    Ooh! What's this?
[06:51] ---
    You guys want to know
    what happens next, too?!
[06:53] ---
    No, that is not quite why...
[06:54] ---
    Then you leave me
    no choice! I shall tell you!
[06:57] ---
    Yes, yes.

    Why did you stop me?!
    It was just getting to the good part!
[07:28] ---
    How was that getting good?
[07:30] ---
    Miss, if you don't figure out a way
    to make it easier to understand,
[07:33] ---
    you won't get through to people.
[07:35] ---
    Yup, yup. It's all nonsense.
[07:37] ---
    What?! I was explaining it all to you guys!
[07:41] ---
    Right...
[07:42] ---
    I've made up my mind!
[07:45] ---
    Let's see, I was told that it
    should be around here somewhere...
[07:49] ---
    Miss, where in the world are we...?
[07:52] ---
    That's it!

    P-Please take the table in the back.
[08:03] ---
    Good.
[08:11] ---
    Now, I will use the facilities here
    to show you how fantastic my manga is.
[08:16] ---
    I see...
[08:16] ---
    Um, how in the world are you going to
    use the facilities of a ramen shop?
[08:23] ---
    Looks like we're here.
[08:24] ---
    What is this place?!
[08:26] ---
    Could this be that rumor I've heard...?
[08:29] ---
    What?
[08:33] ---
    Quick, quick, quick, quick! Stare!
[08:37] ---
    Cut 82, key animation work done.
[08:39] ---
    I've come to collect the finished work.
[08:41] ---
    Here.
[08:42] ---
    Thanks for your hard work!
[08:44] ---
    Crash! Boom!
[08:46] ---
    I've brought the finished work.
[08:48] ---
    Good.
[08:51] ---
    "Woohoo! But Dad's not here..."
[08:54] ---
    Here.
[08:55] ---
    Thanks for your hard work!
[08:58] ---
    Key animation has been
    checked for performance.
[09:01] ---
    Thanks!
[09:04] ---
    What in the world is this place?
[09:05] ---
    It's a rather anime-ish place...
[09:08] ---
    Yes, this is an anime production studio.
[09:10] ---
    What?!
[09:12] ---
    Just like I suspected.
[09:13] ---
    So the urban myth that anime studios
    disguise themselves as ramen shops,
[09:16] ---
    hidin' at all costs from
    the general populace was true.
[09:21] ---
    I see...
[09:22] ---
    There's an urban myth like that?
[09:24] ---
    My, how mysterious.
[09:26] ---
    Furthermore, this show is a work of fiction
[09:28] ---
    and in no way related
    to the actual industry.
[09:33] ---
    Wow, so this is where they make anime.
[09:36] ---
    It totally has that "studio" feel about it.
[09:38] ---
    I feel like we came here around
    Episode 35, too, though...
[09:40] ---
    That's Miss Segawa,
    Miss Hanabishi, and Miss Asakaze!
[09:44] ---
    Why are they here, too?
[09:45] ---
    Hey, hey, where are the voice actors?
[09:48] ---
    What? Uh, those people are over
    at the recording studio.
[09:52] ---
    What?! They're not here?!
[09:55] ---
    And here I thought
    I'd get to meet Ms. Yahagi!
[09:58] ---
    Wow! It's really moving!
[10:01] ---
    Let's see, I think
    I'll draw something up, too.
SIGN    Rip Roaring Student Council Tankenger
[10:09] ---
    What's wrong, Maria?!
[10:11] ---
    Th-That...
[10:17] ---
    Poke. Poke.
[10:21] ---
    Looks like she's just sleepin'.
[10:23] ---
    I'll manage it somehow
    by the end of the day...
[10:26] ---
    She is not sleeping. She passed out.
[10:28] ---
    A warrior's rest.
[10:31] ---
    By the way, Miss, what
    in the world are we doing here?
[10:33] ---
    I'm going to have them animate
    the continuation of my manga.
[10:36] ---
    What?!
[10:37] ---
    Your manga?!
[10:39] ---
    Animate it?!
[10:40] ---
    Yes, I thought it would be easier
    to understand as an anime
[10:43] ---
    rather than a verbal explanation.
[10:45] ---
    But, but, doesn't the manga
    usually have to succeed first,
[10:47] ---
    before it gets animated?
[10:49] ---
    So exciting. So heart-pounding.
[10:50] ---
    To be continued in the second half!
[10:54] ---
    Terere, terere tte.
[10:57] ---
    Is "terere" some kind of magical spell?
    (Terere tte nanika no jumon nano?)
SIGN    Conference Room
[11:02] ---
    So, with this scene...
[11:04] ---
    It's like Unicron preying upon a planet.
[11:07] ---
    Naturally, we won't be using
    any CG and it'll all be drawn!
[11:09] ---
    And it'll be huge, like
    the climax scene in "Laputa",
[11:12] ---
    and then impressive like
    the opening of the "Patlabor" movie!
[11:14] ---
    Oh, I mean the first movie.
[11:16] ---
    And to finish it off, we have
    the last scene from "Saint Seiya"!
[11:18] ---
    We'll run through the crumbling temple!
[11:18] ---
    Is an explanation like this really
    going to get across to them?
[11:20] ---
    Do it in Mr. Shingo Araki's style.
[11:21] ---
    Who knows?
[11:22] ---
    That's all. Get it done in a week.
[11:26] ---
    Impossible.
[11:27] ---
    This is ridiculous.
[11:28] ---
    You think producing anime
    is easy, don't you?
[11:32] ---
    Hello?
[11:33] ---
    What?!
[11:34] ---
    Y-Yes, I understand!
[11:36] ---
    Hey.
[11:37] ---
    Whisper, whisper, whisper.
[11:38] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[11:40] ---
    We will begin the production
    work right away!
[11:42] ---
    Oh, really? I'll be counting on you.
[11:45] ---
    Off we go!
[11:48] ---
    Hey, Nagi, what the heck did ya do?
[11:50] ---
    No idea. I didn't do anything...
[11:52] ---
    Oh, come to think of it, since this
    company will be making my anime,
[11:56] ---
    there was intel out there
    that their stock would probably go up.
[11:59] ---
    That's gotta be it.
[12:00] ---
    So exciting. So exciting.
[12:00] ---
    Not to sound like a broken record,
    but this is a work of fiction
[12:03] ---
    and is in no way related
    to the actual industry.
[12:03] ---
    So exciting.
[12:05] ---
    And so, yet another anime
    of questionable quality gets made...
[12:09] ---
    Good luck to this show, too!
[12:15] ---
    Are the storyboards still not done?!
[12:16] ---
    I think it's almost done,
[12:18] ---
    but the director said something
    about going to Toys 'R Us
[12:20] ---
    to buy a limited edition figurine...
[12:22] ---
    Send an assistant to do that!
    This is part of their job!
[12:25] ---
    R-Right...
[12:26] ---
    We have quite a bit
    of the design elements in place,
[12:28] ---
    but we don't have enough key animators!
[12:29] ---
    What?!
[12:30] ---
    There's trouble! The animation
    director has suffered tenosynovitis!
[12:33] ---
    What?!
[12:34] ---
    What's going on?
[12:35] ---
    The thing is, we're short
    on animation staff members.
[12:38] ---
    Hey, now, you can't make the anime then.
[12:41] ---
    Can't you poach them from other companies?
[12:44] ---
    Like Kyoto Animation?
[12:45] ---
    Uh, that's a bit...
[12:47] ---
    Well, whatever the case,
[12:49] ---
    the anime based on Miss Nagi's
    original work has entered production.
[13:14] ---
    Looks like we'll make it in time somehow.
[13:16] ---
    And we've managed it
    without casualties, too.
[13:18] ---
    Though, a couple people collapsed.
[13:20] ---
    That's superb.
[13:21] ---
    I guess anime is a harsh industry.
[13:23] ---
    There's trouble!
[13:25] ---
    The company doing the animation
    and finishing work has fled overnight!
[13:27] ---
    What?!
[13:28] ---
    Is it game over?
[13:30] ---
    Hmm, no choice then.
[13:33] ---
    Since it's come to this, 
    we will have to utilize that method!
[13:36] ---
    What in the world do you plan to do, Miss?
[13:42] ---
    Now, what should I have for dinner today?
SIGN    Nishizawa
[13:45] ---
    Wh-Wh-Wh-Wha?!
[13:46] ---
    What in the world just happened?
[13:49] ---
    Okay, we've dropped the color
    from the hamster's scene,
[13:52] ---
    so you can shuffle over
    as many staff members as you need.
[13:54] ---
    Are you sure it's okay to do this?
[13:54] ---
    What? What?
[13:56] ---
    This is mean, Little Nagi!
[13:57] ---
    Hey, hey, what is this?
[13:59] ---
    It's called an outline take.
[14:01] ---
    If the art isn't done by the time
    they record the audio,
[14:04] ---
    they make this working footage.
[14:06] ---
    Oh-ho, so it's like a making-of film
[14:09] ---
    that the general audience never gets to see.
[14:11] ---
    Wow, I had no idea this
    was how they made anime.
[14:14] ---
    Yes, and furthermore...

    There's a whole lot of various ways!
[14:32] ---
    They don't use film anymore,
    so this no longer happens.
[14:35] ---
    Outline takes are so funny!
[14:38] ---
    This is pretty much how it looks
    when we're recording.
[14:40] ---
    Hey, hey, that's a taboo topic.
[14:43] ---
    It's not like we do that because we want to!
[14:46] ---
    In truth, we'd like the recording
    footage to be in full color.
[14:49] ---
    If only we had more time...
[14:51] ---
    Oh, and a bigger budget.

    Britney is desperately
    in love with her senpai,
[17:23] ---
    but, but, she can't tell him how she feels.
[17:25] ---
    Because she's a magical girl.
    No, that's not the reason.
[17:28] ---
    Why? Because her senpai has...

    I'm still not sold on the art, though.
[17:43] ---
    The more you mix...
[17:44] ---
    But you see, because
    of the evil witch's powers...
[17:47] ---
    ...the more it sticks!
[17:51] ---
    ...her senpai was turned into a star!
[17:57] ---
    Due to this, his wife fell ill
[17:59] ---
    and his child became a delinquent.
[18:04] ---
    If I'm in danger of losing
    an online match, cut the connection!
[18:09] ---
    The tension's building
    more than I'd expected.
[18:12] ---
    Britney resolves to turn her
    senpai back to how he was.
[18:15] ---
    But even if she can accomplish this,
[18:18] ---
    her senpai will only return to his wife.
[18:20] ---
    He and Britney will never be together.
[18:24] ---
    But if she continues this journey,
[18:27] ---
    she will get to spend time with
    her senpai. Even though he's a star.
[18:31] ---
    What will she do? What will Britney do?
[18:32] ---
    And Britney's decision was...!

    Wait, what's wrong?
[19:22] ---
    Come in.
[19:24] ---
    Oh? Maria?
[19:26] ---
    Oh, Hayate.
[19:27] ---
    Could it be that you are also...?
[19:29] ---
    If you are asking if I am "also",
    does that mean you are also...?
[19:33] ---
    Yes, I thought I would read
    the Miss's manga one more time.
[19:37] ---
    Since she worked so hard
    to write it, after all.
[19:41] ---
    Yes, we should try to understand her better.
[19:44] ---
    Also, I was rather curious
    to know what happens after that
[19:47] ---
    to Britney and her senpai.
[19:50] ---
    I was a bit, too.
[19:52] ---
    But Hayate...
[19:54] ---
    What is it?
[19:55] ---
    Which do you suppose Britney
    will choose in the end?
[19:59] ---
    Will she wish to be with him? Or...?
[20:05] ---
    But it looks like Nagi hasn't
    written past that point.
[20:09] ---
    Then I suppose that means the Miss
    is having a hard time deciding as well?
[20:13] ---
    As to how to end this romance...
[20:15] ---
    But if it were you, which would you choose?
[20:18] ---
    What? M-Me?
[20:20] ---
    Hmm, let me think...
[20:24] ---
    If that senpai were you,
[20:26] ---
    maybe it wouldn't be bad to keep you
    in the shape of a star forever.
[20:29] ---
    There you go again, teasing me.
[20:33] ---
    Oh! Then you try writing it!
[20:36] ---
    What? M-Me?
[20:38] ---
    But I've never drawn manga
    or anything, so...
[20:42] ---
    Then all the more reason to.
[20:43] ---
    I-I could not, Hayate. Please, I...
[20:47] ---
    If I'm a man, I'll conquer all
    the heroines simultaneously!
[20:51] ---
    Gloom...
[20:52] ---
    Wait, so who is this, Maria?
[20:56] ---
    You.
[20:57] ---
    No, please, "conquer all the heroines
    simultaneously"? What am I, a brute?
[21:01] ---
    Do you have a problem
    with that? In that case...
[21:04] ---
    Huh?
[21:05] ---
    You must be sure to make your choice.
[21:09] ---
    Okay, now you try drawing it, Hayate.
[21:12] ---
    What? But...
[21:14] ---
    Honestly, you are such an indecisive person.
[21:16] ---
    This was a story about how fiction
    sometimes reflects reality and vice versa.

    And now, next time...

    Hold it! Hold it!
[21:26] ---
    Whew. We almost forgot the fan service shot.
