Anime-original story premiered in 2012

Sentai Filmworks announced on Thursday that it has licensed Hayate the Combat Butler: Can't Take My Eyes Off You . The company plans to release the series digitally and on home video.

Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan in 2012. Crunchyroll is also streaming the first Hayate the Combat Butler ! television anime (2007-2008) and its Hayate the Combat Butler !! follow-up (2009).

The anime, produced at Manglobe, tells a story that is original to the anime and not directly based on existing material from Kenjirou Hata's original manga. However, Hata personally created the story concepts for the anime.
