Houston-based anime distributor Section23 Films and Sentai Filmworks have detailed the
Complete Collection Blu-ray release of
Hayate the Combat Butler: Season 1. Produced by Studio SynergySP and directed by Keiichiro Kawaguchi, episodes 1-52 of the harem-comedy anime's first season arrives on Blu-ray on August 18th.
Synopsis: Could Hayate Ayasaki's life get any unluckier? As if it wasn't bad enough that he's had to work constantly in order to support his good-for-nothing parents, now he's lost his job for being underage and Mom and Pop have cashed in their cash cow by selling him to the Yakuza. For Christmas! Desperate to pay off the 156,804,000 yen debt before he's converted into black market organ parts, Hayate strikes on the idea of kidnapping oddball heiress Nagi Sanzenin. Unbelievably, however, even that goes wrong and not only does he end up not kidnapping her, he rescues her from other kidnappers. (Apparently this happens to her all the time.)
But maybe, just maybe, there might be a tiny, dim light at the end of the very dark tunnel of Hayate's existence, and the skills that Hayate's had to develop to stay alive will pay off. Because Nagi needs a butler/bodyguard and Hayate could just fit the bill. Assuming he can survive the on-the-job training, of course. Fate can be a harsh mistress, but Hayate may have just signed up with an even harsher one!

Hayate the Combat Butler: Season 1 features series episodes 1-52, 1080p video, lossless Japanese audio and English subtitles. No English dub/audio is available. Extras include:
