The television channel AT-X is running a commercial for the upcoming Hayate the Combat Butler! Cuties anime series. The commercial features the opening theme song "Haru ULALA ♡ LOVE yo Koi!!!" by the character Hinagiku Katsura (via her voice actress Shizuka Itou).
In the ad, the characters chat about the meaning of the word "Cuties" in the title. According to them, every episode is "filled with laughs, love, and a little bit of loneliness" and will follow different characters and a different "route." The ending theme song will change in each episode as well. The first 10 episodes' lineup are:

- Episode 6: Izumi Segawa & another character
- Episode 7: Ruka Suirenji
- Episode 8: Ayumu Nishizawa
- Episode 9: Chiharu Harukaze & Kayura Tsurugino
- Episode 10: Maria
The cast from previous seasons will be returning:

- Rie Tanaka as Maria
- Shizuka Itou as Hinagiku Katsura
- Mikako Takahashi as Ayumu Nishizawa
