Ok, so there are three types of anime Negima. 1. The first series, animated by Xebec, 26 episodes. Nasty animation quality, and almost universally acknowledged to be a little on the crap side. 2. The OVAs. There are two of them, Haru (Spring) and Natsu (Summer). They are animated by Shaft (who also did the second series), and are virtually plotless exercises in fanservice. They are pretty good fun though, and the animation quality is much improved. 3. The second series, animated by Shaft, 26 episodes. Pretty good animation, especially backgrounds, although the characters appear oddly muted. The plot is much more random than that of the first series, and most fans regard it as Pani Poni Dash with a face-change. Of those 26 episodes, 25 have been shown in Japan (last one is out tomorrow), and 14 have been fansubbed. That should be about all you need to know. :D |

well yea, SHAFT version of Negima is Poni Poni Dash, Mahou Sensei Negima Style. I'm enjoying it very much, the Negima!? series. im apaulled at the XEBEC version because they did make Martian Sucessor Nedesco (witch is one of my faviorte all time animes) and then they make this worthless piece of artistic crap (Mahou Sensei Negima) almost felt like they didnt even try to give it more quality. Felt more like quanity. the OVA's are just pure fan service. It has ecchi ( ) because there isnt alot of ecchi in Negima!? series so they filled it to the brim in the OVA's

Sadly i hope he doesnt, if anything i suggest OVA's from now on after a series. i rather see ova's then anything or maybe short 1hr movies that condence each volume, that would be 18 1hr movies B) i think those would be somewhat better overall. |

Thing is, if an animation studio wanted to do it, they could totally do a direct manga to anime job with MSN a la Bleach. Shounen action gets a straight move from manga to anime all the time, and I think there's enough action in MSN to warrant to multiple episodes/quick turnover that we get in those kind of productions. Plus of course, and this can't be underestimated, we have a sizeable manga backlog which would make some space for a long-running series. My point is that it would have to be a long running series. I really don't think 26 eps cuts it anymore, since that's not long enough to do justice to the series or the characters. The only option is to do a Rurouni Kenshin with this puppy. Stick close to the manga and plan for multiple eps. In the case of MSN, take out the worst of the fanservice (and I use the word "worst" advisedly), lean on the character development and action, and you're sorted. |
