I hope some people don't try to kill themselves in front of their pcs just because a fiction series isn't like they like. ;/
The people forget the real objetive of the series is just entertainment.
Why I have to watch a series that I don't like?
Well, I think that's enough for a first post. =]

I rather like the SHAFT version actually. What you have to look at is whether it achieves its end or not. The goal of Negima!? seems to me to be to provide a primarily comedic story, with additional action-based plot movement. It's playing out an Excel-style crazy comedy, just using characters and motivations taken from the manga.

For me, it succeeds pretty well. I've been consistently entertained by the episodes, enjoyed the running jokes, and got a kick out of the character stories that showed up. My sole complaint is that the pacing fell through about half way through the series, and we suddenly found ourselves caught in a bunch of rather circular episodes that didn't move anything along at all, and just played crazy comedy for crazy comedy's sake. I'm hoping that we're past that dip now and that the end will be satisfying in terms of characters' journeys and action quotient. It's looking good right now, so my fingers are crossed. Actually, I wonder if the reason the fansub translation is going a bit slower right now is because they've just hit the story dip. If I were a translator getting to that point I certainly wouldn't feel terribly motivated to work hard on the eps. Thank goodness it gets better pretty fast.

About character development - no, there isn't much at all. We have some character establishing stories in there (Asuna, Konoka, Setsuna, Nodoka, Yue, Negi, Eva, Chachamaru), but nothing that really changes them beyond that initial sketch portrait. We don't have character journeys per se, which can be annoying, especially if you like character-driven stories. Unfortunately, for those folks, these stories are surreal-comedy-driven, which is so much another cup of tea it's practically coffee.

I've enjoyed Negima!? but not really Negima! really because I'm a stereotypical guy who likes a lot of action.

I happen to like all of them. the manga, Negima! Negima!?
If you don't like what is in them, take their destiny in your hands :moohahaha: :moohahaha: , go to the darkside, and write a fanfic! That way you can even rewrite the whole thing as a fanfic if you wanted to I guess. And submit it to K. Akamatsu. Who knows, maybe you will be the creator of another anime series, if you did not kill yourself in front of your PC yet.

as i said even you didnt like it youve watched it hehehehe if you dont like Negima! or Negima!? make your own version. Then youll find lots of people like you complaining. (how do you like dem apples!!!! PLAW!)


i was wondering why they ran out of money..... it was so popular in japan ... i had a hard time before looking for merchidize because it was always sold out and to think of it Funimation got hold of it. even in germany they are selling Negima! dvd. they should have gained money by now to make a season 2.
