About Hayate no Gotoku
Series 1 from April 2007 runs 52 episodes as debtor Hayate becomes Nagi's butler, animated by SynergySP. A March 2009 OVA adds a single tale. Series 2 from April 2009 runs 25 episodes closer to the manga from J C Staff.
Heaven Is a Place on Earth from August 2011 brings the film outing. Can't Take My Eyes Off You from October 2012 runs twelve original episodes. Cuties from April 2013 runs twelve short story shows. A 2014 OVA trio ends it. Watch in release order throughout. Sentai carries all runs for English viewers.
Good to know
Release order keeps the butler gags straight. Start with the 52 episode run for the debt setup. Series 2 retcons lightly, so expect shifts. The film slots between runs as a side trip. Cuties plays as shorts, so save it for last. The manga spans 52 volumes beyond the anime. The debt joke never truly dies across runs.
