Hayate's irresponsible parents left him with a huge debt, when Hayate
first met Nagi she was the sole heiress to Sanzenin fortune and
Hayate rescued her from some kidnappers. Since then, Nagi has paid
off his debt and hired Hayate to be her personal butler. As Nagi
soon discovers, Hayate proves himself to be the ultimate butler, he
can do anything from serving to fighting off people who are after her
fortune. Nagi ends up falling in love with Hayate, but then to her
frustration so does all her friends in Hayate
The Combat Butler: Cuties - Season 4
(2008 - 2009).
Hayate has the worst
luck in the world when it comes to his parents, but because of that,
Hayate has worked all sorts of odd jobs and learn the skills to
become the ultimate butler. His luck finally turns around when he
becomes Nagi's butler and he now works to protect and satisfy all her
needs (and for some reason the girls all love Hayate cross-dressing).
He impresses all the girls around Nagi and his kindness know no
limits, the only thing he lacks is that he is unaware of all the
girls feelings toward him. Currently, they live alternating between
Nagi's mansion and the school dorms where all the girls are also his
dorm-mates.
This has been a long
comical anime series, but what it basically has turned into is harem
romantic comedy with a bit of action from time to time. While the
romance is all comical, there is plenty of crazy combat for the main
protagonist who is forced to fight 'out of duty' to protect his
mistress and their friends.
The
1080p 1.78 X 1 digital High Definition image is amazing color, sharp
images and great performance for the art style & pallets chosen
among Sentai's best, while the DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 2.0 Stereo
lossless track on each show is warm, clean, well-recorded, well-mixed
and has healthy Pro Logic-like surrounds. Extras include clean
opening and closing animation and trailers.
