Probably not, since stupid SHAFT is making their own crappy series. Not only that a manga is also being made for the s**ty version created by SHAFT. But if there was a season 2, Xebec would probably need a lot of money. And some stuff to make up for what those morons complained about in the past.

XEBEC did a horrible version of Akamatsu's Mahou Sensei Negima.

Basically if you havent watched it i suggest you dont, since XEBEC had to make their own ending witch basically messed up the whole plot of the manga.


What MakiexAko4Ever is complaining about is the new series by Shaft

Witch is Negma!? or as i Call it Negima Neo.

Since XEBEC focused on the ecchi and comical portion of the manga with few fighting scenes.
SHAFT is focusing on the Action part of the series, prolly not alot of Fan Service but non the less its artwork is way above the XEBEC version.

The manga i read a few pages and I find the art good not as good as Akamatsu's art but non the less good and enjoyable.

The manga and anime take place in a alternate version of Negima.
so most of the stuff like Asuna's spell cancling ablity isnt discussed, Setsuna's ancestory, Konoka's ablities. so on and so on are not discussed as well as other characters from MSN are not in there. Fate, Koturo ect... Its SUPPOSE TO BE A DIFFERENT RETELLING. Yet the guy keeps the same main leads.

Negi, Eva, Asuna, Yue, Nodoka, Setsuna, Chamo, Konoka, Kaede, Fuuka and Fumkia, Takahata, and others that were semi developed to full develop in Akamatsu's series a new charge in the new one.

I kinda like the whole Ayaka and Makie 'you fail' jokes i found those funny. Still you can only do so much and telling an action story is really easy but i do see each of the girls getting 1 ep each with their action sequences soon. it may go a bit father then the orginal since it has a definate 'bad guy' and definate 'goal'.

Those ''Makie fails at life'' jokes fucking suck. Those aren't even funny and fail to provide true character development for Makie. I mean sure Xebec didn't really do that good. But SHAFT fucked Makie's character up good. SHAFT SUCKS. Pardon my language, but I really want to express how I feel about SHAFT butchering Makie.

im not gonna try to change your mind.

I know Makie is your favorite character so i wont bother trying to change your mind about those 'you fail' jokes.


Yet i'll talk as a writer.

Does Makie have relivance to the main story other then being infatuated by negi? No in fact Maike is the typical arctype of a non supporting character that has no special traites (other then her rythmic gymnastics) no secrets what so ever. She's the run of the mill average jr. high student. Other then being the target of Eva's attacks.

and i bet most of the girls that are not within the supporting cast of Negima universe fit that type. Up to a point where it will depend souly on the writer if he wants to include those as supporting cast. Within the main Storyline until then they will be in the story as names and faces without a story until the writer of Negima Neo and Mahou Sensei Negima deem its corret to add them to the main Plot.

Even though she gained a pacto in Negima!? there is a high probablity that she'll seldom come in and provide any real offense same goes with the other non supporting characters in the series.

All the characters you say are over rated well those are the supporting characters.

Im not trying to be mean to you MakiexAko4ever but I just see that its really unrealistic to grab at something that prolly wont be relivant to the main story until the writer deems it so. Im looking at it from a writers point of view.

All I see the rest of the girls as those that you ask a question and you gotta think of a name for them to actually make it sound nice other then 'hey you' calling to them.


I mean in other Anime series that surround a School setting do you see main leads interact outside to other characters that have no relivance to the story? no and if it does happen it for a few seconds.

This is where Negima gets messy its because he's a teacher so it involves the whole class. In fact i applaud Akamatsu for creating general background and a few special backgrounds to give a nice feel for each girl. That in itself is hard to do, but most are generic.

If it was just him as a student. Then the other girls who have verry little to do with the story wouldnt even be mentioned am i right or am i wrong?

Thats why Negima is different is because he's the teacher and not a student. Like in most animes its always a student that has secret powers. Thats the basic arctype for most animes, either a boy or a girl.

sorry for going off on you. I just kinda think its wrong to call other peoples work dumb or crap. :sweat:

XEBEC had it comming due to the fact that they went off the deep end of the storyline. In fact why even animate the series if its going to take that long if your not gonna do it a 100% the first time. As well as other aspects that did no Justice to Akamatsu's work.

SHAFT has taken a shorter story and is making a decent anime out of it. That i see and applaud.

Now my XEBEC may make you go then how come naruto and bleach are still going. Look at who's backing them. Look at the music artist they got and the anime is main stream and likable. Its also well done the art i mean. Its also at a good pace for people to watch it. That most cant really ague with that.

:sweat: hey hey people lets not want ta kill each other okay....

Well I gotta say I hated Negima! teh TV show (now I'm reading the Manga and very much liking it) I really did like Negima!? except for the new characters (like the gay-ass frog and cat) and I like some of the slapstick humour but sometimes it goes outta control. For instance Makiex I'm guessing you really hated the whole Makie thinkin her dad was a frog thing and I respect that you dont like the Makie Fail Jokes (I just like the way she looks after them thats all). Unfortunatley I'm gonna have to disagree on you with the SHAFT thing because I think their doin a nice job on Negima!?

And Kazuki please appologize.

@MakiexAko4ever: If you saw my words comming off offnesive then i apologize for them. They were curt and mabe unjustifiable but the writer in me had to say something. I use to think exactly the same way as you did when i read manga, in fact i actually stopped reading manga for almost 2 years. Thanks to a friend who was an avid fan of the art He told me that and i'll quote him. 'Writing a story isnt just basic plots, main characters vs villanous characters. Its about the enjoyment of writing. A good writer is someone who can spurr another person and modivate them to write their own stories about anything in their hearts. THey can write about the main lead and put them in a different situation, make a side character take a leading charge or swich sides in the good vs evil plot. IN doing so a Good writer has in fact immortalized a character to a person. Without lifting an inch otherwise in a storyline that may or may not involve them.' To me I live by that quote I fairly enjoy anime more and apreciate every aspect of the art. Manga, Anime, fan art, fan fictions and fan comics are works of love that should be cherished. Taking a deeper understanding makes you apreciate the work of the orginal arthour much much more. If my works came off bitter and sour to you then I apologize for them, they were in no way ment in disrespect. In fact in a way i wanted to give you a whole different view on things other then one side. If i failed then thatn then im sorry.


@Booky: Im sorry as well I got a bit mad that i just had to say something a bit of advice if i could. I know its prolly not my bounds to do so but sometimes changing depression to anger is more constructive. MakiexAko4ever use to be supercharged on the boards now it just seems like she has little will. If getting her angry and changing her direction is going to bring back the MakiexAko4ever that we all knew before I rather have her mad at me then at the work Akamatsu has published. Depression isnt good for any girl but anger can bring about some constructive means to end it. (hidden meaning in what i just said)


So overall sorry I apologize for my curtness but it may not have been in the best of taste but I had to voice my opinion.

I just though of the scariest thing when you all were doing that thing but you know i am reading this but what if SHAFT or XEBEC decide to take a wierd turn and make Anya??
i mean think about it they never really had a large description of her, or for that matter enourmous amount of stories about her, so for all they care they'd probably end up making a crazy spin-off and <i don't know> somehow Anya gets re-assigned and has to deal with exactly the opposite of what Negi is dealing with <i was thinking hobos> an all guy academy, which would be very strange.
Think about it.... because i don't wana.

I accept your apology. That's all there is to it. Nothing's going to change what I think or feel. To be honest, you, and a bunch of other harsh people just turned me into something that I am not. I hope you are happy about that. I have become even more negative and pessimistic than ever. I even destroyed vol. 3 out of anger. And now I'm thinking about giving away my other Negima manga that I had (vol. 1-6.) I have no idea when my depression will end now.

Please refrain from using profanity, as it is a violation of the rules. Thank you very much. Next time, people will just be warned, regardless of personal mood swings.

On the topic at hand, I don't know why people are so mad about an anime adaptation that needs to be verbatim to its manga counterpart. If it was exactly like the manga, wouldn't that be practically the same thing as re-reading the manga? Sure it's animated, but one could simply use their imagination and the illustrations within the manga to do just the same. Frankly, anime adaptations that are so similar to their manga sources are boring, IMO. This is why Negima!? was created, to be taken as the fun, spontaneous version of Akamatsu's beloved series.

As for Negima!? neo, that was kind of a waste of potential. They shouldn't have even bother with a manga for it.

But overall, I hope you guys don't take all of this stuff so seriously. Because when it comes right down to it, everything is fiction. That's just what it is, and you have to take it as that.
